I assumed they were Lichens, but only because they didn't look like fungi or moss. They were all on a granite bridge on the edge of Dartmoor. Very damp environment. Dunno about your builders foam. Probably fungi, it should be fairly obvious if it was actually foam.

Yes, that's a couple of big reasons I'd guess. Though I reckon sick, violent social media content is more influential than video games these days. Parental failure, lack of discipline and loss of control, at home seems to be a big factor so far in the Rudakubana case.

At least they were dry, and warmer. Drug addiction and homelessness don't stem from free buse services in any case.

It was a Beaver's Moon last night.

You give in too easily. I thought this whole thread was about making something out of nothing. They even do a fancy gourmet version now, I found out.

Really? I had you down as a straight from the can kind of man.

Spam fried rice. Comes up nice. I'm not sure what else to do with the questionable stuff to be honest.

No mention of terrorist motives in the Southport enquiry either yet. Are you hoping that'll come out in due course? Until then, there's some concerning figures just come out from the Prevent programme. #Readthenumbers Of the 8,769 referrals where the type of concern is specified, 21%, or 1,798 cases, were due to “extreme rightwing concerns”; 10%, or 870, were referrals connected to Islamist ideology; and 56%, or 4,917, were for individuals judged to have no identified ideology. Five per cent (469) of referrals were due to concerns regarding “fascination with extreme violence or mass casualty attacks (where no other ideology)”. This category recorded a large increase in referrals in the latest quarter, January to March 2025, rising by 240% compared with the previous quarter. The latest data showed that children aged 11-15 represented the largest proportion of referrals where the individual's age was known, at 36%. This was followed by children aged 16-17, at 13%. There were also 345 referrals for children younger than 10, representing 4% of the total cases. It seems to me that we're raising a generation of very ****************ed up children at the moment. Why is that, what do you think is going wrong in our society Davey? Where has this sick fascination with violence come from? Major issues like this are what the public discourse should be centred on. Not all the other guff.

Or indeed an axe.

Wrong thread dude. Anything that comes out of that woman's mouth belongs in the Jokes??? thread. Surely nobody takes her seriously anymore.

Let me know when you work out how to reliably break them.

Exactly that. Probably a subconscious memory I had. She was one funny woman.

I had the usual frustrating self service till episode earlier. This one was particularly fcking hair tearing. There must have been one person who felt it even more than me. That was the poor woman who had to keep coming over to flash her magic fob at it, getting on for 10 times. The people they employ to do that job must go through a hardcore selection process, to weed out all but those with the most superhuman of patience. Imagine doing that for 8 hours a day, without screaming at someone? Soul destroying. I'm sure they'd rather be manually scanning stuff through on proper tills. At least they get to judge all the punters on what they've bought.

Obviously, the free just refers to the service users. He's proposing to take some money back from the filth. That'll go a good way to funding the buses. I expect Trump will make it too difficult, but just think how much more pleasant the city will be if he succeeds.

What's wrong with a free bus service? Anyway, as already said, it was probably as much of an anti Trump protest vote as it was a vote for the blue team. (Much like Labour getting in here last time).

Shouldn't that be SBS? 🤷‍♂️

Didn't think you'd see it. The clue is in the bloke's name.

Old school.

The irony. Do you see it @Johnsond? So, we've waited and we've seed Davey.
