Try Orion by Metallica. It is beautiful music.

You wouldn’t have been able to do that during the V10 years.

sometimes I’ll be dreaming and my brain will just add in lewis Hamilton or some shit lmao

Let me guess,he’s complaining about his tyres?

CO2 seems to be the main problem, so why don’t we just burn it. Powerstations powered by burning CO2 would be good for the atmosphere while providing heat and power for communities. And CO2 is abundant so it should be cheap, too!

Economy Wonderglue. I’ve played Fallout 4, I know what you need.

I don’t really drink tea.

Just make sure you know which order to put your jam and clotted cream (or clotted cream and jam) on your scone before you come!

Scone should be pronounced scone and not scone.

In some parts of the country, it’s pronounced to rhyme with cone, and in other parts it’s pronounced to rhyme with gone. That would be simple but there is another orthogonal dimension which is a demographic one (usually self-perceived class) which also influences the pronunciation.

It is, consequently, almost impossible to guess how any given person you meet might pronounce the word. And it is also something which, while seeming incredibly trivial, people here feel very strongly about.

I, of course, pronounce it correctly: scone.

Scone / scone.

I feel like I’ve read that somewhere.

Learned them about age 6, up to 12x12. Still know them, and takes a lot less than 1-2 seconds to call them to mind.

Except 7x6 and 8x6 which, for some reason, I’ve never been able to learn so I always end up going from 6x6 = 36.

I could never understand how people be stupid enough to need to do multiplication or some other shiet.

I always calculated the result - i remembered some of the combinations naturally from repetition.

The whole idea of multiplication is stupid af.

7 x 8? It’s 7+7+7+7+7+7+7+7. 12 x 11? It’s 12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12+12 you dumb fucks.

Driving manual (stick). I have an automatic now only because the model/trim I wanted doesn’t come any other way but if I could have got it in manual I would have. This car has less personality than my last one because I operate it rather than driving it. I literally have less of a connection with it.

Playing music on a record player. The ritual of removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the deck, cleaning it, landing the needle. Listening to an album.

Cooking on gas instead of a halogen hob. Sure halogen is great and super easy to clean but gas is visceral and ‘real’. I also like to cook over charcoal or, even better, wood.

A group of us used to meet every week to watch Twin Peaks. We’d unplug the phone, drink coffee, and eat cherry pie (or apple for a bit of variation). Then we’d watch the episode again having just recorded it and try to figure out wtf was going on. Happy days.

He’s just showing them the gift shop on the way out.

Be right back, I think my Pringle has arrived…

A can of Tennants lager in Scotland in the 70s, given to me by my maternal grandfather. Probably about 3.2% or 3.6% abv. Tennants cans had a picture of an attractive girl in a swimsuit on every can. A four pack would have four different girls. The one on my first can was called Isabel.

First alcohol in a pub was from my paternal grandfather. I was fourteen. Grandpa ordered two pints of bitter. The barman asked him how old I was. “Eighteen. Scrawny little bugger in’t he?”

The greatest who with the what now?

War… war never changes.

Well, my parents are dead, but my kids would scold me.

But obviously it depends on the crime:

• 33 mph in a 30 mile an hour zone? My kids would scold me, my wife wouldn’t care.
• Smoking a joint? My kids wouldn’t know, my wife wouldn’t care.
• Going on a killing spree with a machete? They’d report the shit out of me, and quite right too.
