Awful shagging film

[Corksfinedtboy]

She’s horrible, I found it hard to watch TBH, nearly expecteda Marianne Faithfull number playing in the background

‘Liverpool FC’ is the colloquial term for ‘perennial net spend champions’ in Uruguay.

[Julio_Geordio]

How many have they murdered?

[Biff_Egan]

I think they ate a load of Rugby players

Ronan O’Rahilly, the Louth man who founded famous pirate station Radio Caroline and who died last year, was for a time, Bond actor George Lazenby’s manager. He was also involved in producing the Two Virgins album for John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Assuming you trust the Guardian, apparently it’s cheaper to send fish caught off Scotland to be filleted in China then ship it back than have it boned in Scotland. Madness.

I've sailed the Suez canal on a cargo ship – it's no wonder the Ever Given...

We won’t hold that against him.

[Julio_Geordio]

I thought those factory ships did all that at sea again so they’d have to pay the workers fuck all

Learned this last night when watching the news, Arlene Foster turned 50 this week. Jesus if you said she was 60 I’d believe you. She’s only a World Cup cycle older than me, very hard to take in.

Corkscrews were originally used by a musketeer to remove an unfired bullet from a musket’s barrel. They were then adapted in the 1790s to be used on beer & wine bottles.

Then they would have been called musketscrews not corkscrews.

maybe she should take up cycling and running downhill to keep those youthful looks

They would have been called ball screws by that logic. It’s not called a wine screw

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

A big part of why he established Radio Caroline was because Radio Luxembourg or some other crowd were heavily sponsored by EMI or some other major and O’Rahilly found it almost impossible to get the music of the acts he was managing played.

I’m still not the better of it…

Who knows @Locke, if things had turned out differently maybe you and her could have got together. You’d be looking at her across the dinner table every evening, smiling as she drops an Ulster fry in front of you, watching her granite jaw chewing a rasher rind. Jumping on a tandem bike together and watching in awe as her sturdy hind quarters grind out the last 5k of a tour de Munster. The low growl of her saying no to your every request. What might have been.

You’re a bad fucker.
