not to mention the rather appropriate PIZZAI.

In these days when the law is not being enforced in the US, it’s important to differentiate between “may not” and “cannot”. Sure they’re not legally allowed to arrest citizens. They are demonstrating that they can do so regardless.
comment in response to post
Of course they can. They just did. That’s what this thread is about.

When the new boiler arrived, with controls in a different place, the fitters were going to rip out the old dial in the hallway. He specifically asked them to leave it, as his secret wonder-weapon to finally end the Thermostat Wars. Till the day she died, she never learned that it was disconnected.
comment in response to post
For years, probably decades, before the new boiler they were locked in a passive-aggressive war over the thermostat whenever she came to stay. Every time she walked down the hall she’d turn it up. Every time he walked past, he’d turn it back down. Neither ever said anything to the other about it.

My dad did exactly this with his mother-in-law. Feels a bit more legitimate though when it’s a visitor trying to adjust the heating without asking, rather than hiding stuff from your wife.

Don’t forget (3) “I’m not gay but <obviously gay stuff>”

Looking great, and I’m glad you’re happy in it. I know swimwear is something some of my trans friends have found awkward, which is a pity.
comment in response to post
Maybe, if you do the same to me first 😁

I don’t remember their name, but a band I saw at the Hobbit in Southampton a few months ago had an entire song dedicated to Jacob Rees Mogg having sex. Clearly designed to put unpleasant images in the audience’s minds 😁
comment in response to post
There’s footage out there somewhere of a bunch of my friends fucking in front of a Tom Scott video 😁. (They didn’t set it up that way, YouTube was just on in the background, but Tom’s piece to camera comes through really clearly over the sounds of group gay sex 🤣)

I’m always going to pitch for our friendly little pawsome.org.uk, you could also consider the UK’s biggest, Confuzzled, but really the best con in Europe these days seems to be Nordic Fuzz Con. Reg in October, event in February ‘26, seems like decent timing for you.

We have a soundproofed booth at work for private phone calls. The day it arrived, we named it The Scream Cupboard.

You may have skipped the batches of batteries that had bitrex in the crucial area. Afaik the AirTag design hasn’t changed.
comment in response to post
Yep, and originally they painted it on right where the contacts in an Apple AirTag go. You had to scrape a patch clear before the tag would work. This is why newer batches are labelled “AirTag compatible” - the battery itself always was, but the bitter coating has been moved slightly.

Why would it be more dangerous for women? As Miriam Margoyles famously stated on this subject on Graham Norton, “arseholes are arseholes” 😁
comment in response to post
Clearly she didn’t get enough practice.
comment in response to post
New Boozy is confusing to me. I’ve long since had you labelled in my head as “distinguished older gentleman”. But in all recent photos you look younger and hotter than me.
comment in response to post
This is so oddly specific that it has to be based on a real event 😁
comment in response to post
Before my time. But there was definitely a period a few years ago where a lot of furs wanted absolutely nothing to do with pups. This year Confuzzled (the UK’s most mainstream and strait-laced con) held its first official pup play event 😁
comment in response to post
Some of us do it anyway, though 😁
comment in response to post
It’s an increasingly blurred line these days 😁
comment in response to post
It’s certainly odd behaviour to read an article saying “here are the sad little people we should take the piss out of” and then publicly announce yourself as one of those people. Maybe he has a humiliation kink?
comment in response to post
And bangers. A lad on our school cycling trip stuffed a load in his pants to stop a teacher seeing them, then didn’t get a chance to relocate them before having to get back on his bike. Cycling several miles with his bollocks surrounded by gunpowder must have been both scary and uncomfortable.
comment in response to post
Maybe he watched that video of you singing 😁
comment in response to post
Facing backwards, too.
comment in response to post
Wow! I had no idea you could sing like that 😳
comment in response to post
Indeed - I *think* the hoodies were done by the charity themselves rather than the convention. Very embarrassing for Confuzzled but not really the con’s fault.
comment in response to post
Nice! The glimpse of human skin through the eyeholes is always a little magic-breaking. Black makeup helps a lot, but those goggles are maybe even a better solution.
comment in response to post
That’s ok. Confuzzled is on right now, and Pawsome 2025 only has non-residential tickets left. So you have plenty of time to work up ready for either next year 😁
comment in response to post
You’re only popping next door? Where’s the ambition? Come over and see us at @confuzzled.org.uk or @pawsome.bsky.social 😁

The socket is most likely on a 32amp ring final circuit. The plug is fused at 13amps, which at 240v is 3120w. A kettle doesn’t run for long, but a 3kw heater might do. Supposedly, “a 3-bar electric fire in each room” was what they had in mind when they designed this system for post-ww2 rebuilding.
comment in response to post
3kw? That’s a standard kettle. Sure it’s a lot for a PC, but nobody’s worried about “pushing outlet limits” when they make a brew.
comment in response to post
This. Suit and fancy tie makes me think “spivvy mobile phone salesman”. Also this fess is obviously bollocks. Who’s going to bother getting changed in their car every single day for such a weak reason?
comment in response to post
They now know that their watch has probably been telling their mum they’ve been engaging in regular wrestling workouts. She’s bound to ask about this unusual new hobby over the family dinner table next time they meet…
comment in response to post
From the headline I assumed they’d miscalculated the clearance, perhaps based on tides. But the story suggests they weren’t planning to go under the bridge, but rather lost control of engines and/or rudder and drifted into it.
comment in response to post
I was in Prince William coming into Frederikstad when a lift bridge closed on us unexpectedly (pilot told the bridge operator “two more ships, then close”, and he counted a tiny fishing boat as a ship). First thing the captain ordered was everyone down from aloft.
comment in response to post
A non-binary parent I know discussed this with their kids, and together they settled on “Captain” 😁

Sounds like Colin Furze’s pulse-jet phase.

You’re arranging the blocks?

Also bear in mind there’s a limit for contactless, so someone isn’t going to cost you hundreds on a stolen card. I think it was £20 when it started, maybe £50 now? Not sure as I only really use Apple Pay, which has a much higher limit because you have to provide a face or finger print when paying.
comment in response to post
I’m curious what they wanted to rename it to.
comment in response to post
I remember a slightly older boy having to point out to me what the spring was representing. Aged about five or six, I hadn’t made the connection.
comment in response to post
I never noticed before that the “male” robot has a bowler hat and spats, and the “female” one has a little skirt round her wheels.
comment in response to post
Not all that many “influencers” in their forties. My elderly mother uses “millennial” as a pejorative for “young people”, not realising that she’s twenty years out of date and millennials are middle-aged now.
