2026-04-21 20:55:07 UTC

"The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing" is out of date and needs updating. Trump and Farage show that evil also needs wall to wall media biased in its favour and a fuckton of dodgy money from anonymous donors.

2026-04-21 18:55:05 UTC

Software shouldn't need constant updates. For any other product, if the manufacturer kept calling round after you'd bought it to make uninvited changes to the thing you bought, you would think it was crazy.

2026-04-19 15:55:06 UTC

Adults who call soft boiled eggs "dippy eggs". Get a fucking grip.

2026-04-19 09:55:06 UTC

The Italian government should set a date by which Venice must be abandoned, as it sinks ever deeper into the sea. 2030 is achievable. Italy is a vastly wealthy country and won't have any problem rehousing those residents without a home on the mainland.

2026-04-18 14:55:05 UTC

Can we all agree that every April fools joke done by a business on social media is cringe.

2026-04-18 13:55:05 UTC

One of the saddest things about the social media era is finding out that the musicians, actors and comedians you liked are rotten cunts.

2026-04-17 12:55:06 UTC

Given Sheriff Rosco knew the good old boys in the Dukes of Hazard, rather than fruitlessly pursuing them when they drove like maniacs, why didn't he just go to their home and wait for them to return?

2026-04-16 14:55:05 UTC

If AI was genuinely useful your employees would choose to use it, you wouldn't have to mandate its use.

2026-04-14 21:55:06 UTC

Surely any royalist would gladly have a referendum on the monarchy. If they are as popular as they imagine, then they will win, won't they?

2026-04-13 22:55:06 UTC

Ian Dury was a unique talent and the Blockheads were an unbelievably tight band. It's a shame that he's only known for "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" by most people.

2026-04-13 21:55:06 UTC

Why don't TV manufacturers have a button on the TV that triggers an alarm so you can find the remote when it's lost?

2026-04-12 20:55:07 UTC

A little tip for the cinema: choose a subtitled showing, even when you don't actually need them. Having them on-screen is a small price to pay for what will highly likely be a near-empty showing.

2026-04-12 15:55:05 UTC

Few people have been proven wrong in life as much as teachers who said "you're not going to have a calculator in your pocket everywhere you go, you know!"

2026-04-12 10:55:14 UTC

The government sets it's monetary policy primarily based on forecasts by the OBR, yet the OBR is never even remotely accurate, routinely multiple billions off reality. It's a bizarre way to run a country.

2026-04-10 13:55:06 UTC

All the walls at train and tube stations should be made from thick glass filled with water and fish. That would be a lot of space for the fish to enjoy and lots of mobile life to inspire people as they wait for trains.

2026-04-10 07:55:06 UTC

People take the piss out of that video of Ringo Starr telling people not to send any more stuff to be signed, but the guy actually signed and returned anything he was sent up until then. Can't begrudge him finally saying "Alright lads, give it a fucking rest now".

2026-04-08 15:55:07 UTC

Facebook ruined the internet. From the destruction of privacy through data mining, the decimation of forums, to the people it brought online and their hate-filled views - it has left nothing but misery in its wake.

2026-04-07 10:55:06 UTC

Sending me an email asking me if I want an email about Mother's / Father's Day is actually an email about Mother's/ Father's Day.

2026-04-04 10:55:06 UTC

This obsession for American pickup trucks on UK roads is insane. Dave, you live on a fucking estate in Doncaster not on the prairies of Montana. Tax the bastards to oblivion

2026-04-02 12:55:06 UTC

Not passing judgement on his overall output but the best thing Ricky Gervais ever did was giving Mackenzie Crook his big break

2026-04-02 11:55:05 UTC

The reason I would like self driving cars is that so many cabbies seemed to have given over control of their brains to the far right.

2026-04-01 11:55:06 UTC

Why are we still letting the generation that was most severely compromised by lead poisoning during their childhoods have any authority over anything

2026-04-01 07:55:06 UTC

The hierarchy of supermarkets in the UK is as follows -
M&S Food
Waitrose
Tesco
Sainsbury's
Morrisons
Aldi/Lidl
Co-Op
Asda
Iceland

2026-03-31 22:55:06 UTC

Best Car of the Year awards should not be collected by anyone from sales and marketing. It should be engineers and designers on stage, seeing as they're the ones who actually did the work being celebrated.

2026-03-31 18:55:06 UTC

Referring to generations as if they are monolithic blobs is no different than treating everyone with a shared heritage as the same. "Jokes" that rely on that will be treated with the disdain of mother-in-law and racist jokes from the 70s are now.

2026-03-31 17:55:05 UTC

A Bus stop placed directly outside a home should warrant a percentage of the fares taken to be paid to the homeowner.

2026-03-31 12:55:05 UTC

DPD is the worst delivery company because their alerts read 'your parcel will arrive between 12.00 - 1.00', when obviously they should read 'between 12.00 and 1.00' or 'from 12.00 - 1.00'. Absolute psychos.

2026-03-31 11:55:14 UTC

Porn actors should have transparent hands so you can better see their bits when they're masturbating.

2026-03-31 09:55:05 UTC

There should be two toothpaste flavours: Mint for mornings to wake you up. Lavender or similar for bedtime to make you sleepy.

2026-03-31 08:55:06 UTC

There are many red sauces, but only one brown sauce. HP or nothing

2026-03-29 20:55:07 UTC

I know there's always ifs and buts and now is not the times, but can we just rejoin the EU already? This nonsense has gone on for far too long and done enough damage. The world is rapidly changing and we need to stop wasting time masturbating over the ghost of sovereignty.

2026-03-29 18:55:06 UTC

If someone says something along the lines of "it's not racist to like ice cream", their statement is true, but there's a 99% chance they're the kind of person who'd somehow find a racist way to like ice cream.

2026-03-29 09:55:05 UTC

Every nation should treat billionaires like a natural resource and mine them of their riches until exhausted, just like a nice thick seam of coal or a reservoir of oil, then make the spoils available to the nation's citizens. If they crop up again, mine them again.

2026-03-27 10:55:07 UTC

It might be the most annoying thing in the world, but Baby Shark is undoing all the species image damage that Jaws did. It's conservationally good.

2026-03-26 21:55:06 UTC

We need a "working class history month". Remind people just where so many of our hard-fought rights come from and why those in power are so hell-bent on convincing so many people that minorities are the problem.

2026-03-25 11:55:05 UTC

Tesco can fuck off with their little tokens to vote for which local good cause will be funded. You made several billions of profit last year, just give all three the money you bastards.

2026-03-25 10:55:05 UTC

Audiobooks are great until the narrator has to do children's voices, then they become unlistenable

2026-03-24 21:55:06 UTC

Town cryers should be reintroduced, but for telling everyone what bin night it is.

2026-03-24 12:55:07 UTC

You can't just say a particular flavour is the best flavour of crisps because it depends entirely on what brand. Walkers? Cheese & onion. Golden Wonder? Salt & vinegar. Pringles? Sour cream & onion. McCoys? Frame Grilled Steak. Lidl's own? Roast chicken. It's not that simple.

2026-03-24 11:55:06 UTC

Any TV drama with a musical episode has jumped the shark.

2026-03-23 19:55:05 UTC

I'm not a tea person but I love a soggy biscuit. McVitie's should sell pre-dunked biscuits. In know their food scientists are up to this challenge.

2026-03-21 18:55:05 UTC

I'm getting really pissed off with all the Americanisms that are creeping their way into British society. It's a dog LEAD, no you can't pet my dog, you can PAT it, and no, you can't get a coffee, not unless you're going to go around the counter and make it yourself.

2026-03-20 15:55:08 UTC

Regardless of your views on the matter, FFS learn how to spell Israel. I can't take you seriously otherwise. The a and the e go in alphabetical order. It's really not that hard.

2026-03-19 11:55:06 UTC

The speed limit for motorways / dual carriageways should be 60mph. Safer and more fuel efficient than driving at 70mph and, at a mile a minute, easy to estimate journey times.

2026-03-18 21:55:05 UTC

"Adulting". Fuck off. Fuck the fuck off.

2026-03-16 18:55:07 UTC

We've all just gormlessly accepted the switch from "pay or watch adverts" to "pay and also watch adverts".

2026-03-16 10:55:06 UTC

Audiobooks are the vibe-coding of reading.

2026-03-15 19:55:06 UTC

Say whatever you want about Brexit but the only realistic way forward for the UK is aligning with either Washington or Brussels. Saying we can just forge a way on our own is unrealistic. Pick your team.

2026-03-15 17:55:05 UTC

People who post angrily about their drama on social media without actually saying what happened are the worst. If they're going to make us all read their rants they could at least have the decency to explain properly instead of vaguely going on about "backstabbers" and "liars".

2026-03-15 08:55:05 UTC

Yes, we have some serious problems in the UK, but at least we didn't make Jimmy Savile Prime Minister after he'd attempted a coup against the state and then let him appoint all his creepy mates to plum government jobs before attempting to destroy the international political order

2026-03-14 21:55:05 UTC

Multi pack crisps should come in packs of seven, not six. One a day for a week.

2026-03-14 17:55:05 UTC

Snobs who look down on the North because we don't have Waitrose forget to mention that we have Booths instead, which is a far superior supermarket.

2026-03-13 14:55:05 UTC

Those little wireless lavalier microphones that bloggers and influencers use are great but they're designed to be clipped onto clothing so that hands are kept free. Holding one like a posh person holds a teacup makes you look stupid.

2026-03-12 23:55:06 UTC

As yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.

2026-03-09 15:55:06 UTC

If you want an indication of the huge decline in basic digital skills over the last decade, just look at the constant misuse of the word 'screensaver'

2026-03-08 19:55:06 UTC

Victoria's Secret should do a line of sexy underwear for men called Victor Confidential.

2026-03-07 23:55:05 UTC

Your commute should be classed as part of your working day, and paid for accordingly.

2026-03-06 13:55:05 UTC

Indigo and violet don't have the chops to be in the company of the other big boy colours in the rainbow. They're the rainbow equivalent of Hawkeye in the Avengers.

2026-03-01 19:55:06 UTC

Wikipedia truly is one of the last useful websites in existence. Was curious to know the plot to Debbie Does Dallas so I looked it up only to find the entire hardcore movie embedded right there on the page. What an educational tool.

2026-02-27 17:55:06 UTC

Multiple societies in the past all separately came to the conclusion that charging interest on a loan was morally wrong, sinful, or even illegal. Punishable by death in some cases. Yet now we've done a complete 180 and decided it's the glue that holds the world together.

2026-02-27 13:55:06 UTC

Lord of the Rings is a homage to gay men. Gandalf is a Daddy, Legolas a twink, Aragorn a soft butch, the dwarves are bears, the Hobbits are cottagecore, Saruman a power top, Boromir a tragic himbo, and the orcs are toxic Grindr. Of course, a precious ring gets destroyed.

2026-02-25 17:55:05 UTC

We urgently need some new rules in place to prevent anything like this happening again

2026-02-24 23:55:06 UTC

It was not long ago that it seemed preposterous America would announce it wanted complete control and ownership of the moon. But here we go. Any day now.

2026-02-24 20:55:05 UTC

It's so awkward watching videos of podcasts as the presenters just sit there motionless while keeping their heads near the microphone. Richard Herring gets it right by getting the guests to hold their mics.

2026-02-24 11:55:06 UTC

One the oft over looked great things about Wikipedia is that is looked the same for years. You don't have to keep learning new features or enduring horrible new designs. Looking at you Liquid Glass.

2026-02-22 13:55:06 UTC

A 24/7 Top of the Pops channel would print huge money for the BBC. £5 a month to watch all episodes broadcast in chronological order, creating a colourful parade of music history, cultural shifts and the UK's favourite nonces. Take my money.

2026-02-22 10:55:06 UTC

The news recently is so infuriating I can't even listen to The News Quiz. I used to love The News Quiz, thanks a bunch.

2026-02-21 11:55:06 UTC

Running is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to keep fit. A 5K averages around 40 minutes, most people can make that time.
Get it done, clear your head, and go about your day feeling fitter and focused.

2026-02-20 23:55:06 UTC

Before social media idiots were kept at arm's length, whether it be sporting opinions or politics, now decent conversation is polluted by thick cunts who haven't got a clue.

2026-02-19 21:55:05 UTC

I imagine this account is stuck of hearing about flags, but here goes. Put a flag on your own property by all means, but fuck off with the lamp-post shit. Unless you own the lamp-post.

2026-02-18 22:55:06 UTC

Americans, it's pronounced "herbs", not "erbs". The movie isn't called Erbie Goes Bananas.

2026-02-18 21:55:06 UTC

Unless you're swimming around the entire perimeter of the pool, you're doing lengths not laps.

2026-02-18 20:55:07 UTC

Back to the Future is often cited as one of the few stories that does time travel well, but it's actually horrific. Marty returns to a completely different life, with essentially a different family, where all his childhood memories never happened.

2026-02-18 14:55:06 UTC

If we were living in a simulation then whoever is running it would surely have reverted it back to an earlier save point by now.

2026-02-18 11:55:06 UTC

I'm loving the fact that posh actor, Richard E Grant, is currently voicing adverts for luxury cruise brand Cunard AND budget supermarket Aldi. A man of many talents.

2026-02-18 10:55:05 UTC

Cuckoos are cunts. Why do the sneaky bastards get so much love?

2026-02-15 14:55:06 UTC

People should only ever remake bad films. Try and improve on something that was an interesting idea poorly executed, don't rehash something already perfect.

2026-02-15 13:55:07 UTC

I find it unreasonably annoying when actors names don't align with how their images are shown on film posters.

2026-02-15 12:55:05 UTC

I don't give two hoots if a politician has made a u-turn so long as they end up with the correct course of action. Rather that than boneheadedly continue doing the wrong thing.

2026-02-13 20:55:05 UTC

The UK actually has top tier weather. Four distinct seasons. Never too hot or too cold. No extreme weather disaster stuff either. Not many places have it better.

2026-02-13 17:55:07 UTC

Obi Wan Kenobi was a total snob. Mos Eisley wasn't a "hive of scum and villainy", it was just a working class stopover. Even had a decent band on.

2026-02-12 13:55:07 UTC

No one, apart from you, wants to see that thing you made with AI.

2026-02-10 19:55:06 UTC

Vegan burgers should be way cheaper than meat ones. There is no way that it costs more to feed an animal for months, ship it, and kill it, than it costs to make a plant based burger.

2026-02-09 12:55:05 UTC

There should be minimum standards for everyday items. It should not be possible to buy a tin opener or a bike light or a pair of trainers that fall apart two months later. We'd all be better off paying a bit more for things and them lasting longer.

2026-02-07 23:55:05 UTC

Ukraine needs to detonate a small tactical nuke in a remote spot in Ukraine. "Look what we've got". It will end the war instantly.

2026-02-06 20:55:07 UTC

You should have to retake your driving test every 10 years. Would cut bad driving habits and keep people up to date with Highway Code changes. The demand for tests would create more jobs. The inevitable number of failures would force investment in better public transport.

2026-02-04 13:55:05 UTC

Children's books should have a list of characters at the start, along with suggested voices or accents. I don't want to get two-thirds of the way through a book I'm reading for my daughter before I discover that I should be doing a Scottish accent for one of the characters.

2026-02-03 10:55:06 UTC

In the week the great Hungarian film director Bela Tarr died, not a single one of his films was available to stream legitimately. Not even on bespoke art film services. Twenty years ago you could get them on DVD in a big HMV. This is not progress.

2026-02-01 20:55:05 UTC

We need a punctuation mark denoting mild enthusiasm. A full stop looks grumpy, but an exclamation mark makes you look like Timmy Mallett.

2026-01-31 17:55:06 UTC

Bob Dylan's songs are OK. But he should give them to proper singers to sing.

2026-01-31 13:55:06 UTC

Not everyone can afford a smartphone. Stop making it the primary, and sometimes the only, interface for day to day services. It's like when companies move their customer facing information onto Discord. It's shit. Fucking stop it.

2026-01-30 19:55:06 UTC

Purina - the makers of Felix cat food - must have some incredible dirt on, or evidence of other wrong doing by Robbie Williams.

2026-01-29 15:55:06 UTC

What's the point of the state if it's not managing basic resources and industries. Railways, healthcare, power, water, post office and more should be publicly owned. In any sane system this wouldn't even be up for debate.

2026-01-29 10:55:06 UTC

If you want me to call your kid Rafe stop spelling it Ralph.

2026-01-29 08:55:06 UTC

Every year, I seem to be paying more tax than I was last year, but the public services always seem to be worse than they were last year. Sorry but genuinely what the fuck is all of our money being spent on?

2026-01-28 15:55:05 UTC

If you or a man you know thinks that condoms are uncomfortable, you are probabaly just wearing the wrong size. Try an online size variety pack and see what fits you instead. It'll improve you sex life!
