Renton

They've got a canny long thread brewing about the new Sela stack. Now I've moved office and it is not a handy piss break for me can't say I'm arsed about it. Anyway, turns out it is an absolute disaster for the city and it means visiting away fans will now be socialising in Sunderland. Talking of which, in Sunderland they have opened a new eating/drinking venue called "the Stables" in a place near the SoL (Sheepfolds). https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/sheepfolds-development.1569674/ Some decent enough vendors by the sounds of it but here are some comments: Raw sewerage leaking from the toilet (standard). Floor is uneven so they can't put tables/barrels on it in the courtyard. Only two bars so massive "ques" (it seems to be beyond mackem comprehension to spell queue). Shit music played too loud. Feral kids running amok. Dogs allowed to sit on tables in venues. I scream for pizza charging FIVE POWOUND FOWER A SINGLE PIZZA SLICE MARRA! Oh, and the unraguable fact the place is literally located on an industrial estate opposite a scrap yard (below). I dunno, I think away fans for both us and Sunderland might just stick with Newcastle after all.

This is a scary prospect. I could see myself sat up bolt upright in my tent all night, clutching my swiss army knife for dear life.

Anyway, what the fuck are us Y chromosomers doing talking about this? Here you go Fish, fill up on these life hacks.

I thought spin drying was something to do with centrifugation (spinning at a highr rpm to squeeze the water out), whereas tumble drying was as it suggest, rotating slowly so the clothes are tumbles at a hot temperature. But tbh I haven't done any laundry since I was at University, and frankly, don't give a shit either way. I do know it's much better, and cheaper, to air clothes where possible though.

Apparently all the athletes, hung over from last night and not used to it, are being forced to check out at 8am. Oooh ya bugger, brutal.

Dutch cunts. We won nearly twice as many medals as the cheating plain below sea level loving bastids, yet they finish above us? What a load of shite. Should be 3 points for a gold, 2 for a silver, and 1 for a bronze.

I spent 2 weeks in North Carolona once. Was an eye opener. For breakfast they get their bread out of tins. Never been further south, fuck knows what some of those states are like.

Well that was random but nice anecdote anyway. Bet the Bells whiskey bottle was empty. Reminds me of my own random anecdote. Sometime in the 70s I was with my family visiting my jakey uncle Jimmy in Glasgie. Great uncle really. I remember he won this insanely large bottle of Grouse somehow, the ones you collect coins in when empty, honestly not sure how. Anyway, somehow he dropped it getting out of the car, it smashed, and at least 5 litres of amber blend went trickling down the drain. I remember being terrified he'd kick off as this must have been like losing a child to him, and to me he was terrifying at the best of times. But no, he just laughed and said "Ah well, nevir mind, what can ye dae?". Good old uncle Jimmy.

I've never had any issues getting on Lindisfarne like, although haven't been for a while. There's a large field car park. Best thing to do imo is time it so you get cut off by the tides. You'll be forced to stay 4 or 5 hours but check the pub times and/or bring a picnic. It'll be quieter when the island is cut off. When I was in my 30s suffering a real need to mentally recover from some trauma, I hired a cottage and stayed there for a week. Walking to the North side of the island at high tide in complete isolation was just the ticket for me. Fucking love the place, predictably house prices and availability are now insane so will never be able to live there.

You mean for once in their pathetic lives they've believed the experts, even though the experts are tax funded lefty wokelist pro-immigration lawyers? The irony will be lost on them.

And Ukraine. I sincerely hope somehow a two state solution and peace can prevail in Gaza. But the problems of the Middle East just seem intractable and eternal, depressing as that is. As a European, I am more concerned by and focused on peace in Europe.

"Just take it out the box".

32 fannies in fact.

Aye, I don't give a fuck about her and have zero sympathy. But "X" and social media are awash with repulsive racists like her, who decides who ends up in the clink? And aye, we have real influencers like Farage, Braverman, Shapps, Musk, and even still Yaxley Lennon pulling the strings, and fuck all happens.

Aye, he's been like a lass on her blob (not overtime HMHM). "What about this one, got a 9Kg drum, good make" "Doesn't have a spin dryer funcrion" "This one does, fits the specs, and fits your door" "What about tumble drying" "Okay, what about this one. Does all those things, gets 5/5 star reviews from 2 million people" "Don't like the colour"

Not sure how I feel about this tbh. On the one hand what she wrote was utterly vile but on the other imprisonment does seem like quite a draconian action considering violent criminals often get suspended sentences, if they are caught. How many followers does she have? Has she any history of incitement and racial history? A large fine, being banned from childcare, and being named and shamed seems more appropriate to me. Otherwise the prisons are going to be very full very soon.

Horrendous. Not sure many politicians, here at least, are defending Israel mind, with Starmer halting UK arms sales (to much criticism from some of the usual right wingers). But we've definitely become desensitised to it. I feel we are also desensitised to the non ending war in Ukraine, with similar indiscriminate attacks by Russia. Difference is, I accept, Russia are at least sanctioned.

Aye, Fop would definitely have been MAGA like. RIP.

Just wait until Howaythelads arrives from Leeds in his white van. He'll be windmilling the fuck out of wokerati on the way to the Trent shouting "WHERE'S ALEX!!?"

Sounds like they might get some free entertainment while they wash down their eggs benedict with watered down moretti and dubious prosecco. 👍

Fish pwned on washing machine advice. Dryer, use an outside line in summer and heated rack and radiators in winter.

Mrs Renton mate is going further and further down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. They believe all the riots were faked. And she visited them at the home yesterday : they have bare copper wiring surrounding all the windows to keep out 5G. These were nice normal people before covid, it's quite tragic really.

So we actually had Donald Trump posting on Toontastic in the noughties, as well as Bridget, a potential PM? Makes you think.

FYP

The only time I use a measuring tape is to measure my huge erect penis, but so far nobody's made one long enough yet.
