This is good, but they could really do with running these for older people too.

Here’s one I heard this week for example:

“My friend down at the bowls club said on Facebook that they’re not even real immigrants, but they’re special forces soldiers from the secret UN Army and they’re bringing them over here to take over the British and they’ve all got really good shoes and mobile phones you see, that’s how you can tell and they’re all of fighting age aren’t they?”

If you like Point and Click adventures (are they still called that?), have you ever tried Yorkshire Gubbins? Very silly humour.

I also bought it and completed it over the weekend - about 3 hours I reckon. Certainly laugh-out-loud funny in a few places. Nicely surreal and funny, and very well animated.

It suggests it’s better with a controller, but I played it just with the keyboard, and it was totally fine.

Not sure how well the humour will travel (it’s set in a fictional Yorkshire town, I have mostly lived and worked in Yorkshire) - though I’d imagine it travels fine, because Yorkshire humour is obviously best :)

… “étoile de mer”, which would roughly translate as “star of the sea” or “sea star” - the same as the Spanish “estrella de mar”, Portuguese “estrela do mar” or Romanian “stea de mare”.

“The Eight” provisional list #1

  1. Facebook
  2. Apple
  3. Google
  4. Elon Musk
  5. The Oil Industry
  6. The people that Putin has incriminating blackmail videos of
  7. The immortal demon priest and spirit of evil, Mumm-Ra (currently using the name “Rupert Murdoch”)
  8. The Lizard People that David Icke warned us about

The list seems very incomplete, so I reckon there’s more than eight involved - but maybe the first four are all just puppets for the “Ask Jeeves” guy?

Depends where you live in the country - but this looks about right for where I live. The portions aren’t small, either.

The battered fish tend to be quite expensive, but otherwise the fish & chip shop is literally “cheap as chips”.

It’s a bit of an anomaly though - most other hot food places are more expensive, and you can even spend £2-3 on a small pre-packaged triangular sandwich from a supermarket.

You’d think some of the other teachers would step in to defend him/her.

You got a good laugh out of me for that :)

I’m not sure Paul and Barry Chuckle deserve to be amongst some of that lot.
