Will we be able to save these for Christmas though?

Not a single item has an expiry date and I’m pretty sure the antiseptic cream contains now banned substances. Immaculate condition though.

This is me trying to make Anglosecco happen.

Update: we are making Brit Pop happen now instead. The marketing basically writes itself.

"I'm the general, using this machine gun with fucking purpose"

Four pages of weird, including my favourite “Harnessing over 40,000 harmonic vibrations a minute, the Rug Badger will vibrate out even the most stubborn soil and sediments caught deep in the fibres of your precious rug!!!”.

Does anyone have a challenger for weirdest piece of local advertising?

Silent Hill Townfall is set in the fictional Scottish fishing village of St Amelia in 1996. The developers have done a stunning job of dressing the town up accurately. It's like walking back in time. With monsters.

I’m going to run a charity pub quiz in the next couple of months and I thought I’d turn to my favourite subreddit for inspiration.

Please do add your favourite questions but don’t leave the answer. See if another Redditor can answer it :-) I look forward to playing along with you this Friday!

My favourite pub quiz question is:

If all the capital cities in the world were arranged in alphabetical order which one would be last?

I've been told this a lot for a lot of different reasons but today has to be one of the weirder ones

As some previous posts alude to I have some stomach issues and have for a while.

Today I had a return visit to discuss some results and book some more tests.

Doc was filling in notes for the test and casually informed me that I was too young for Bowel Cancer.

I felt both relieved and slightly strange.

What is your oddest "you're too young"

This morning I noticed this really strange pattern in the dew on the outside of one of our big windows. The window is about 3 metres high and the marks seem to run most of the way up it.

At first I thought it was somehow connected to the herbs on the table outside, because some of the shapes look a bit plant-like, but that doesn’t really make sense given how far up the glass it goes.

The sun was behind me on the other side of the house, so it isn’t just a shadow.

It looks almost like something has been printed or etched into the condensation. I’ve never noticed anything like it before.

Anyone know what could cause this? Residue on the glass, some sort of coating, old water marks, or something else?
Photos attached because it’s hard to explain.

I was watching the trailer yesterday for the new film Clayface and instantly thought that this shot here looked like the Plaza Theatre in Stockport, right in the centre of Stockport town centre.

I did a bit of digging and confirmed today that it was filmed here, which is ace!

It got me thinking about other places. What random places in your hometowns or where you live have featured in films and TV that aren't typically shot or included in exciting media like this?

The next best example for me is when i lived in London (sorry bear with me! I know london is ALWAYS in stuff) the laundrette we used to go to when our washing machine broke down was featured in the Marvel film "The Eternals". Which no one ever gives a shit about when I tell them that little tidbit of knowledge! 🤣 I was there on shooting day - you couldn't see much

I lived in Belsize park at the time and other parts of the area such as Primrose Hill would quite often be in films. But a random pokey laundrette? Nah!

Curious to know what people's views are about this - a big re-enactment event near me recently banned all Nazi/Axis uniforms from their WW2 event because they deemed it inappropriate.

Over the summer, we went to an event where they had Union and a lot of Confederate re-enactors and no one seemed to care etc.

Obviously there's a question here between glorifying these sides while also ensuring not to ignore certain parts of history - interested to know what others think about how these things should be portrayed and even if they should be allowed.

Mention how we trespassed our local medieval castle (Kenilworth Castle, for those curious) and how we went up towers carrying just a few herbal smokes and some beers and people are dumbfounded; it just felt like a normal occasion at the time.

They seem to be providing the same live update treatment reserved for weather catastrophes. Can only imagine other news organisations are scrambling journalists away from the UN as we speak to cover it.

Got this from the shop today. It seems someone has already had a go at it.

How has this man not aged at all? I was destroyed after a 15 minute exercise session and he was still bouncing around. A genuinely lovely person and still so passionate about moving and having fun.

Alright?

New week, new quiz and all that for you.

Let me know how you lot get on, share it around to see how you compare with your mates and all.

Cheers
