You should do, it's a class, although you may need subtitles, even the best of English speakers do

We all know why you’re choosing Colombia mate........

The only Yorkshire things I know about are the dog breed and the pudding

You need to know that Nudge does her research... You can't just be putting stuff up willy nilly… I once put a post up in the Good news thread and Nudge promptly took an ostrich sized crap all over it because she did the research and I didn't... Just as well really or people like us would believe any old rubbish on the internet...

It looks like nothing. If you didn't know, you would jump across it without a care in the world. Looks like a harmless stream. Surely you've seen the legendary film "Kes"?

Cthuhlu for sure.

Check this then in Yorkshire @nudge, @Berserker, @Stan, @Bluewolf, @Inti Brian

Mane's hairline is about as far back as Man City

Gonna be completely honest with you, I've never even heard of the place I've never been to New Brunswick either. I would love to go to St Pierre and Miquelon though which is a french overseas territory. If you want my opinion on the Canadian cities I've been: Quebec City: Most European city in the country. It's a really sound place and architecturally brilliant Toronto: Most North American City in the country. It's a wonderful place to live but it's kind of overshadowed by New York in my opinion. Vancouver: Gave me real Auckland vibes. It's so similar as there's nowhere near as many people on the streets as Toronto, and quite a calm place in general. Terrace: You can insert any town of similar stature in BC here really. I went to visit a friend and I loved it, but it's definitely not "unique". I heard the best town of this type in BC is Kelowna. Iqaluit: Damn expensive, but it's the closest you'll get to an arctic feel with natives and a completely different culture. It's also quite a nice town in itself. Montreal: Overrated in my opinion, but still not a bad place. Winnipeg: Absolute shithole. Hamilton: Also a bit of a shithole but the main downtown is nice and has a lot of cool stores. If you stop by Toronto I would recommend checking it out. Niagara Falls: Way better on the Canadian side. The USA side is a massive shithole. It's really an amusement park, lots of games and things to do here just without the roller coasters. Gaspesie: Out in the middle of nowhere. Wonderful place to go to if you want to get away from the more urbanized Quebec City or Montreal. Kind of like Terrace. Not as obscure but more out in the sticks I'd say. Ottawa: It's basically our own Washington DC. I'm not including suburbs mind or towns in the GTA area that are really all the same. Hamilton isn't a suburb so I included them.

Looks fanstastic... not a big fan of bungee jumping in general but would love to try this one.

I think you might be mixing up your school days with your prison days there mate..... I suppose with the drugs it's sometimes been a bit of a blur..

You could buy real ciggies if you came around the back of E block and found me. 2 for a quid

I remember them.. They used to do the white Candy ones as well with a red bit on the end until they knocked that on the head, used to come with a picture card as well..

Don't remember much about the school lunch, but it used to be quite decent. Always some kind of soup and then a choice of the main dish. Schnitzel, curd cheese pudding, potato pancakes, meatballs were the usual suspects. We used to buy chocolate cigarettes at a kiosk after school

Lucky bastards.... When I was at school, normally just Mondays and Wednesdays we used to have to line up with metal trays like prisoners and every dinner lady each more grizzly looking than the last used to plop something on your plate and you would have to eat it even if you didn't like it... One blob of lumpy mashed potato, peas and some form of meat or meat pulp and then the last lady squeezing as much juice out of the tea towel on it to give it moisture.. Don't even get me started on the puddings... They used to throw the stuff in the bowl so hard that half the custard would end up on your face and clothes... When they used to do Liver & Gravy I swear it would have been easier trying to cut through the sole of a shoe... If you were lucky though you might be one of the ones picked to help do the washing up after then at least you got to put your hands in warm water for a while...

To be honest it's not that bad, depends on the airline and their service a lot. As someone who's quite tall, I do struggle with leg room, but other than that, it's tolerable as long as I get half decent food, alcohol, and access to a few movies. I do try to sleep as much as possible, but sometimes it just doesn't work... I love train travel. The Transsiberian Railroad journey is definitely still on the cards for the future...

Oh it was superb mate Hearing your own words quoted against you must make him sore

Heard the planes this morning, looks great. Over Captain Sir Tom Moore's house following his knighthood announcement

Anything to tell the young'uns at work that you're hip with the times

Thank you mate... Just heard about the fallout from it but not the reason behind it, but now I know..

Short Story TikTok pissed off a famous Indian YouTuber. Followers lined up, rated app poorly. TikTok ratings drop. Mildly Long Story There's a famous YouTuber over here whose entire show runs around making fun of topics and being a dick while doing it (like literally a dick) and he made a video on TikTok. Well, YT and the folks at TikTok caught onto it and banned the video citing cyber-bullying. Then the guy turns from an angry punk into an overnight spreader of love and all things associated with it because his income from YT dried up faster than he could imagine. This of course spawned all his followers to go on a rampage rating TikTok as some shit platform which is rich considering the person they were following was producing similar content. This is not to say that YT has been unfavorable to folks doing content in India but what YT did was funny to ban the video and there's been a lot of problems with TikTok in general surrounding a case that recently came up involving some groups on WhatsApp/Instagram with teens claiming rape acts/threats towards women (ficitional threats of course). The timing of it all was just bad for the person who got banned but TikTok as a platform is more toxic than nuclear waste over here from the looks of things. Couple all that together with the second largest population on the planet and with enough rating drops TikTok goes down in their ratings. I wouldn't even bother reading up on it as its a shit-show where everyone is at fault. If you'd still like to get a general idea here you go. https://gadgets.ndtv.com/apps/news/tiktok-ratings-1-star-indian-users-ban-faizal-siddiqui-carryminati-2231440

I used to find their sound annoying but I kept trying as generally I'm a sucker for the genre and when it clicked, they grew on me quickly. Amazing band.

Lots of nice plus thoughts about the place - My greatest achievement - signing Wally Lewis in the 80's to play for us in the UK. Time with young James Mason when he was getting settled in 'Neighbours' before moving over here . Sitting with a young cricketer in Chennai as he was beginning to get the rest of the world looking at him and now seeing him captain the Green Hat brigade. Back to Melbourne with young Chris and old Bill as they filmed the Pirate Movie. First time in Melbourne in 1959 when I visited the Aussie DSB re work! The wife and I will try and get there next year before we get too old to travel that distance, but would love to add NZ to the trip and do the whole antipodes!

The deep ones....

Squeeky bum time... https://9gag.com/gag/aZyNqwz
