Yesterday I went to an actual shoe shop for the first time in my adult life (always bought online before coz feet too big), and they wrote on the tags how big the shoes actually are Vs the manufacturer size. Difference was like 2-3cm for all of them?

I'm in Tokyo today so incidents of trying to help confused Americans are occurring, because machine translation is not as effective as people expect. Dude was asking for the lavatory, but his phone was writing laboratory and confusing the hell out of a department store worker.

Either this is accurate to the source material and it's horrifying, or it's not and it's just playing playground games? So it's a no from me

Not gonna lie: much less exciting story than the headline made it sound

I feel like a lot of stereotypes about Japan aren't real and then I go to the gym this morning and a bunch of 50s/60s women are doing some sort of bowsers castle fitness game

Genuinely don't know what argument the people that currently make up the labour party will have once it's clear you don't have to vote for them

thank fuck

A Green win must mean that "left behind" voters forgotten by Westminster want open borders and legalised class A drugs. That's how it works right?

Probably not a by-election that needs over-analysing in the end. Since the 2024 GE, Labour has, in effect, been telling its core voters to vote for someone else. So they did.

Looks like the original has been swept away by the sands of time.

It’s a hybrid so it’s only partially powered by Jesus

Made the mistake of reading a BBC rugby article, and they wrote that Baloucoune "troubled England speedster Henry Arundell with his work-rate"... I'm not convinced he's not also faster than Arundell

Usually the stronger pack wins rugby games but it turns out they can lose if their team is useless in both attack and defence. Great craic

On current form Stuart McCloskey could win gold in any winter Olympic discipline

Or prime Usain Bolt apparently

Bonus point win never in doubt

I will go as far as saying Ireland are in this game

If I were England Rugby, I would make someone gag Matt Dawson until the end of time #ENGvIREA www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

England coaching team should resign before half time

Not even shitposting, McCloskey is gonna be world player of the year

George Ford been very generous but dangerous amount of hope I'm feeling right now

Not like we were gonna win anyway

I’m sorry, I know it’s a minor point, but crack dens are traditionally indoor establishments. What the scaremongering Labour minister is describing here is a crack paddock.

Boromir: Aragorn my friend, my wounds are grave, so listen, what if…what if we just like Pippin more? Aragorn: I’m so glad you’re saying this. I am way ahead of you. Boromir: I’ll be honest I shoved that one, he assumed I had gone mad with lust for the ring but it was a long time coming

I'm watching man in the high castle but I don't really know much about Nazis ( I get the broad strokes: really bad, snazzy dressers, German, skull measurers), and I don't really want to Google a bunch of SS roles to work out who's what

Genuinely that starting Irish pack has ruined my nonce prince joy

Wtf are Ireland doing with 2nd rows like?

Arrested on his birthday lol

Wednesday

one of those things that forever shifted my view of George Lucas and made me realize he didn't really know what he was doing in the later movies: the so-called "Jedi robes" are just clothes that normal people on Tatooine wear, as seen in Star Wars (1977)

This is probably ok

I have a lukewarm but I think probably still incendiary take, but it's 1:30am so I'm gonna go to sleep instead

What

I've run the numbers through a quantum supercomputer and it says if McCloskey wasn't playing today, Ireland would currently be losing 407-0

Playing L'amour Toujours on the PA system just reminding the crowd of the end of uncut gems, a fate preferable to this game

Are there any swords in the Aviva? Because this is a good time for seppuku

The niggle in this game is alarming, coz it suggests the Ireland forwards are actually up for the fight, they're just losing badly

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

Incredible streak man

It's like they want to lose to Reform I swear?

Snowed here for the first time in 12 years yesterday and I'm not joking I failed to drive to work.

Put on some YouTube video about one hit wonders and it's just funny how many of them aren't even what I'd have thought the artists most famous songs are.

Sorry the winter Olympics can't be real, ski jumpers are putting lip filler in their dicks for performance advantage?

If Ireland had just attacked, defended, scrummed and kicked better, a losing bonus point could have been within reach

Timoney scoring a try when the game is so far gone he can't even pretend to be happy about it sums up his whole Ireland career

Everyone's been bad and nothing is going right, but one player just makes being bad look worse than everyone else.

Only positive from that half for Ireland is they didn't do any attacking so if that's shit too or not remains unknown

He just tweeted it out …
