"I'm selling all 70 of my rental homes because of the renters reform bill" - Good.
You can think it's gone to far, but if you own dozens of rental properties and can't afford to comply, you're a crap landlord providing inadequate housing. You're the reason the bill exists.

Even after watching it for decades I am still shocked by our generation's disregard for future generations, especially considering a lot of us have children of our own. Genuinely, WTAF?

2026-07-02 13:55:07 UTC

If you are not on speaking terms with more than 1 member of your family then you are almost certainly the problem, not them

2026-07-02 08:55:06 UTC

Dubai has become this generations Costa del Sol. Full of wrong 'uns trying to escape something. Just this time it's mostly paying tax.

2026-07-02 07:55:06 UTC

'Keir Starmers' should be Cockney rhyming slang for pyjamas.

2026-07-01 08:55:07 UTC

People need to stop saying they've done a 360 when they've completely changed opinion. So, you're facing the same way? No, you've done a 180.

2026-06-30 18:55:07 UTC

Stop dragging Parkrun into your culture wars you miserable people.

2026-06-29 22:55:05 UTC

Mornings are a stupid concept, and we'd be better off without them. Just make days one big afternoon.

2026-06-29 20:55:06 UTC

When in a lift, it should be possible to unselect a floor by pressing the button again.

2026-06-29 17:55:06 UTC

If someone answers "we'll get AI to do it" when asked how to solve a problem, then you know right there that they don't have a fucking clue and should in no way be in a position to make such a decision.

2026-06-29 15:55:05 UTC

Oh, so you've 'climbed Everest'? How very impressive. The Sherpas that carried all your shit and set up all the camps and basically tried to make sure you didn't die have all done it dozens of times and don't go on about it. Grow up.

2026-06-29 08:55:07 UTC

Reform U.K. is for people who have tattoos of their children but not custody of them.

2026-06-28 09:55:05 UTC

Actually, Tears For Fears, I don't want to rule the world. Couldn't think of a bigger pain in the arse if I'm honest.

2026-06-27 17:55:05 UTC

The whole casual sex scene puzzles the hell out of me. You mean significant numbers of people regularly take complete strangers into their houses overnight and don't get robbed?

2026-06-27 13:55:05 UTC

Professional football teams are Ships of Thebes. I appreciate this is probably regularly discussed amongst their supporters.

2026-06-26 15:55:06 UTC

Tony Blair has become a brilliant indicator on any given issue. If he supports it, it's guaranteed to be totally and utterly morally reprehensible. He's Schrödinger's cunt.

2026-06-26 13:55:07 UTC

Wallpaper design peaked in the 1970s and has never fully recovered.

2026-06-25 09:55:07 UTC

Data breaches and hacks becoming more frequent mean it's the worst possible time for governments to force their citizens to age verify by giving sensitive personal data to 3rd party providers with wildly varying security standards. It's lazy, irresponsible, and dangerous.

2026-06-24 11:55:06 UTC

The quickest way to save the pub, club and restaurant industry is to ban all dating apps so people have to go out to meet people again rather than arranging a hook up like a taxi

2026-06-22 07:55:06 UTC

Every time I see a new photo of Al Pacino, he's had yet more 'work' done. I no longer know what he looks like and I'm fairly sure that he doesn't either.

2026-06-20 20:55:06 UTC

I'm no fan of spiders but one thing I do know about them is the web comes out of their bum. So what's with Spiderman's wrist shooters?

2026-06-20 15:55:06 UTC

Weird how some people say words like dwarf or Dwight as if they have two syllables. It should be straightforward to join the "dw" as a single sound

2026-06-19 07:55:06 UTC

Wine should be sold for home consumption by the litre, not 750ml. When we share a bottle in the evening, one bottle is never quite enough, but two is definitely too much. One shared litre would be just enough and a second litre would be madness, especially on a school night.

2026-06-18 21:55:06 UTC

Everybody agrees that the stock market has gone insane. AI dictating investments, meme stocks, castrated regulators in the US and UK, and utter bollocks like crypto infecting everything. Yet all of us are forced to invest our pensions in it. We need to be talking about this.

2026-06-18 20:55:06 UTC

All mathematics education should be rooted in something practical: how to budget, simple accounting for a small business, and modular arithmetic for calculating duration. Then, explain probability so they don't get wiped out at the bookie's.

2026-06-17 14:55:05 UTC

Fuckoffmaxxing

2026-06-17 12:55:06 UTC

Duvet covers should have zips on three sides. It'd make changing them a lot easier. It'd be an instant best seller.

2026-06-16 22:55:05 UTC

Trump is one step away from going full Henry VIII and declaring a new Church of America to spite the Pope.

2026-06-16 18:55:05 UTC

The problem with neoliberalism is you run out of state assets to sell.

2026-06-14 22:55:06 UTC

"If you can't see my mirrors I can't see you" is not an acceptable stance for big vehicles now that cameras and sensors are so cheap.

2026-06-14 14:55:05 UTC

Anyone who insists on referring to the first Alien movie as 'A L I E N' needs an urgent date with a facehugger. It's just some typographic styling for the titles, it's not the literal movie title.

2026-06-11 13:55:05 UTC

The only reason people ever fit a "chameleon" tint to the windscreen is to try to evade detection and prosecution for things they already know they shouldn't be doing. The police could improve their stats many times over by concentrating on the drivers of those vehicles.

2026-06-10 20:55:07 UTC

Dishwashers should have a window at the front so you can watch.

2026-06-10 18:55:05 UTC

Young people can't afford to live. They've done everything they were told to do, studied, went to university, they are the best "trained" generation ever, but it's not enough anymore. If you don't think this ends in a major upheaval or uprising in the next few years, you're blind

2026-06-09 19:55:06 UTC

If you're in a pub, and you have finished a packet of crisps, there's something wrong with you if you don't fold the packet up and tie it in a knot.

2026-06-09 16:55:07 UTC

The word 'quim' is not as popular as it should be, and I fear it's going to disappear.

2026-06-09 10:55:06 UTC

I bet Gary Glitter wishes he'd had bombing Iran as an option when he had similar bother

2026-06-07 22:55:06 UTC

You don't have a viable, ethical business model if it relies on your customers forgetting to cancel a subscription.

2026-06-04 17:55:07 UTC

I thought Stephen Deckoff got one hell of a deal when he bought Epstein Island for $60m in 2023. I assumed he'd bought it at the bottom of the market and got a huge discount. But now I'm not sure how he could ever have guests over. Who'd go there?

2026-06-03 19:55:10 UTC

The phrase is "one bad apple SPOILS the barrel" (or bunch), not "it's only one bad apple, don't worry about it."

2026-06-03 15:55:05 UTC

The fatal flaw with democracy is that the skills required to convince people to vote for you are completely unrelated to the skills required to successfully run a country.

2026-05-30 17:55:05 UTC

Fuck off and make The Proclaimers the headline act at Glastonbury. Imagine the absolute JOY.

2026-05-29 11:55:06 UTC

Why are all crime drama's set in the north of England? They should remake the TV detective series Shoestring. There is not enough broad Bristolian accents on TV.

2026-05-28 19:55:06 UTC

Every school in England should have Welsh, Cornish, Gaelic or Irish as compulsory subjects. The pre-English languages are part of our shared heritage in the UK and should be treasured by us all.

2026-05-26 16:55:06 UTC

When those Google Captcha things ask you to find all the motorbikes, about half the time they show you a picture of a moped, which is technically incorrect.

2026-05-26 10:55:05 UTC

The Hound Of The Baskervilles is a perfect novel. Not just a perfect Holmes novel, but a perfect novel.

2026-05-26 07:55:06 UTC

I hope Ray-Ban's reputation has been damaged as much as I think it must have been. Co-branding with Meta to create pervert specs must surely upset a huge part of their potential market. I for one will never buy that brand again.

2026-05-25 22:55:06 UTC

Parents who say that schools should teach basic life skills, like managing your finances or communication skills, you do realise that's what you're meant to do? You can't just expect to offload all your parenting duties to your kids teachers.

2026-05-24 22:55:06 UTC

Good band names are as rare as diamonds. So rare that I haven't actually encountered one yet

2026-05-21 20:55:05 UTC

I don't care if Pearl and Dean had nothing to do with the movie I want to hear the music before movies again.

2026-05-21 19:55:05 UTC

Garlic bread is great. Goes with pretty much any meal. Except pizza, which is unfortunate given all the pizza places that try and suggest otherwise.

2026-05-20 20:55:06 UTC

Liquorice Allsorts are disgusting and basically bastardised dolly mixture which was better without the aniseed and yet for reasons I cannot explain I am now craving Liquorice Allsorts.

2026-05-18 14:55:06 UTC

Liverpool John Lennon Airport is actually closer to Widnes. It should therefore be renamed Widnes Mel C Airport

2026-05-17 13:55:06 UTC

The most incredible thing about the 1978 Superman movie isn't a flying alien wearing a pervert suit. It's that the newsroom has so many people. I've been to newsrooms recently and they're normally small and staffed by overworked juniors. I want more journalists.

2026-05-16 14:55:06 UTC

The novels and comics that most movies are cribbed from are more important than the movies. It follows that the ritziest awards ceremonies should be for novelists and comic book writers. Actors and directors should exchange statues in a hotel ballroom in Doncaster.

2026-05-15 21:55:06 UTC

The measuring unit of 'cup' should be banned. Just tell me in grams/ml so I don't have to google every single ingredient

2026-05-15 12:55:07 UTC

I find it odd that we legislate the use of mobile phones whilst driving, but not the use of dashboard touchscreens. The amount of times I've seen a collision or near miss because a driver is eyes-on fucking about with their touchscreen due to lack of physical buttons is wild.

2026-05-14 19:55:06 UTC

Total arsehole in our estate died last week. If the reactions of the neighbors is anything to go by , I fear the world's economy may collapse due to excessive partying when the orange shit stain finally goes into the ubend

2026-05-13 07:55:05 UTC

We need to start rebuilding our own internet again. Long live weird blogs and janky personal sites.

2026-05-12 07:55:05 UTC

White bread is for toast. Brown bread is for sandwiches. Can't be swapped under any circumstances

2026-05-11 18:55:05 UTC

All cars should be no bigger than Smart cars and have a max speed of 25mph. I don't propose this out of environmental or safety concerns, I just think it would be funny and upset a lot of people I don't like.

2026-05-11 15:55:06 UTC

More of an anon pitch than opin. Can someone write an app called Shamazon, where you find what you want on Amazon and then the app will find an alternative source for it, cutting out the evil Bezos.

2026-05-10 15:55:05 UTC

New rule: In any economic downturn, the wealthy should lose everything before the poor lose a penny. Don't like it? Don't be wealthy

2026-05-10 09:55:06 UTC

Drinks should have an additional tax that varies depending on how often the cans and bottles appear in street litter. This would probably double the cost of Red Bull - strangely it never seems to give any fucker who drinks it enough energy to walk to a bin.

2026-05-07 22:55:05 UTC

Genuinely surprised theres no one doing high brow, artisan energy drinks. I would be lapping that up like a burnt out, middle class rat

2026-05-07 07:55:06 UTC

If you spend more time tweeting than visiting your parent with dementia you likely have a personality disorder.

2026-05-06 15:55:05 UTC

If it didn't affect so many people's lives, it'd be grimly amusing to watch all these Reform councils collapsing as they slowly realise that they can't actually save millions, deliver tax cuts AND fix potholes by sacking a Diversity Officer and banning rainbow lanyards.

2026-05-04 11:55:05 UTC

All software used by government must be open source. If it's not already open source, the publisher should have to publish the code in order to get the contract.

2026-05-03 21:55:05 UTC

Barman here. I don't know who started this "queueing single-file at the pub" business but it needs to end. You're not actually getting served any quicker. They wouldn't have designed bars to be long and wide if they intended on people forming a fucking queue.

2026-05-03 09:55:06 UTC

No, you *used* to be a software engineer. Now you're just a prompter. The funny thing is, the longer you slop prompt, the less likely you could go back to being an engineer even if you wanted to. Deskilling yourself is not something you all should be bragging about.

2026-04-27 19:09:08 UTC

Just a reminder that the 14th March is only "Pi Day" if you can't write dates properly. Yes, America, this does mean you.

2026-04-24 15:55:05 UTC

I just think that young people, even in former mining towns, don't hate Margaret Thatcher enough.

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.

2026-04-21 08:55:05 UTC

Back in the day I scoffed at Rick Astley but fair play to him: he's been the basis of an harmless internet meme that's gone global and Rickwashed "The Smiths" with "The Blossoms" so that people can do karaoke without feeling one is endorsing a twat. What a guy.

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
