The problem is likely after market cars and that market will likely persist.

Yes but now you pay for that service. So it's fine.

Just a wee selection of my block list: bots, thirst traps, bitcoin bro, invest bros, marketing bros, dating stuff and far too much gambling.

I mean twitter must be down on ad revenue by the amount of gambling sites I block alone. Surely I was just about to sign up and gamble on the big South match between the irresistible Portsmouth v the unmovable object that is Southhampton.

I feel like the advertiser would rather I engage with their betting site instead of me blocking them. I get such trashy looking betting adverts now, none of the major betting shops as they are blocked.

He's got a point. It's kinda weird how I can just block every advert I see. But also super weird to not be able to block dingleberries either.

A lot could be achieved to alleviate if they did stock their cheaper brands at the smaller or more convenient shops but that's going to get in the way of profit.

Didn't tescos try to set up Jack's, a UK version of Aldi and then abandoned it? I don't have much faith in them.

Scales canna tell the difference between muscle and fat. If you've being labouring, you likely have developed muscle whilst losing fat.

I've always just scooped water out of the toilet bowl to clean my arse. A bidet seems overkill.

Flashlight is essential for winter in rural places, for working on cars or lighting up awkward places. I'd rather put in place a torch or flexi torch and have it fall over instead of my mid range phone which may lead to the screen scratching. Generally too, using my phone where I need a torch simply exposes my phone to risks.

It's pitch black, below 5c, snowy and windy. I'd much rather fondle my testicles when walking the dog, instead of holding my phone out. Head lamp is the way forward.

Boo bring back 70s muff. Muff is the right stuff.

I'm the same, I routinely filter out anime stuff. Probably the most annoying thing is that I started playing FFXiV and now my in-line adverts are for gaccha anime crap and generally super cringe/bonk horny.

A three pin plug is just the UK standard plug, it has three pins on it, with the top pin being longer than the other two which engages firsts and prevents electrocution. They are also fused instead of the actual wall socket.

2008? Jesus I was a b/tard old-fag in those days and the hate for reddit was unreal. I had no idea it was the 9gag of its day.

Get on yer bike you lazy inactive bastard 😉

The OCR thing is simply there because it's there from another stream of letters and the same template has been used.

I'm always tickled pink working in local governance to see how certain procedures and policies simply continue because someone said 'let's do it this way' and its stuck. Everyone is too busy dealing with the next thing, that the 'it's not broken, don't fix it' mantra prevails.

I've never heard of Wilko. 90 years in operation and I've never heard of it. I'm genuinely surprised by that.

It strikes me as a show that was only meant to be 1-2 series but due to popularity has kept going and now its trying to find the balance between comedy and seriousness.

If the skills aren't niche and many people have it, it is easier for an employer to stipulate office work and ignore a candidate demanding remote work.

In about 10 mins of pooping time i've seen so much fanboyism as you've described. More than ive ever seen prior.
