If you own a house, you are required to make a bonfire in the street to consume corrupt air.

My fuckface of a council (E. Dumbartonshire) has closed off recycling and food bin pickups AND the recycling centre (but not pressed the uptake of the bins to compensate so we ratland now) so I've been contemplating the practicalities of an impromptu backyard firepit to, failing everything else, get short of the paper recycling.

BBC decided to skip this week's episode of Casualty because it was deemed inappropriate given current circumstances and are just showing next week's scheduled episode instead, with a little rundown of important points from the skipped episode at the start.

There was a shot of staff (?) In what looked like Hazmat suits so that's what probably got them nervous.

My Eid celebrating neighbours gave us some lovely cake. Eid must be pretty hard in lockdown - not directly comparable but imagine if we have a Christmas lock down. The gammons would go insane.

They might need to just go do that the way we're headin'.

Let us never forget that the entire idea of the Monopoly game came from a woman, as an attack on capitalism, it was then stolen and mass-sold by a man

Monopoly has taught me you can be both evil and incompitent as the rules of that game are so badly described, to the point that the Free Parking rebate is just accepted as common law, that it turns from Capitalism as Fun to Capitalism as Frustration.

And even then, it's intended operation doesn't work as fun too much.

And yes, I do make Owen Jones seem like Margaret Thatcher in my offline life as well.

Thing is, that's offensive to Thatcher (becasue she succeded in her murder, not without a few friendly casulties, TVAM, but what's friendlies to a tyrant?) but, honestly, offense is a drat sight better than she deserves.

you've been an SA member longer than me how has it not irony poisoned your brain to the point where insane poo poo from twitter doesnm't impact your mental healt?

Having your registration fee (and maybe your addons? I was never quite sure on that) on the line if you say/do something egregiously offensive/stupid really helps that not happen on SA as much. I garantee you if it was ten bucks to have a twitter or FB account and you'd have to reup to get unbaned from twitter there would at least be second thoughts about the sort of verbal shite that comes out of some people's mouths.

Of course the first issue of 2000ad that I get via subscription is bent to gently caress due to some twat at the post office folding the mail lot with a rubber band. Why was I stupid enough to think the Royal Mail wouldn't somehow gently caress this sideways?

Same! And I couldn’t find anything about this show online for years. I searched and searched and only recently came across info about it on an obscure Wordpress blog. So glad it wasn’t all in my head.

Unfortunately it seems that specific episode isn’t online anywhere. I’d really like to watch it for some closure for my childhood trauma.

Oh that's the worst sort of Media White Whale.

Mine's the spanish version of Scavangers (as in that over produced sci-fi gameshow that had John Leslie as it's host) I saw on holiday in Gran Canaria which, instead of just leaving its losers to die by implication that they were going to go down with the ship as they were left behind, littery dragged its losers (stock) screaming into the void with an on screen heart moniter flatlining.
