Fucking hell Renton, you’d be better off on the drink rather than spending your evenings in the box bedroom wearing your pilots shoulder stripes pretending to make passenger announcements about landing congestion at Luton airport.

Fucking hell, do they still release that?  My brother used to play that about 30 years ago.

 

There was a long hiatus where it wasn't updated for more than a decade. THen a new version came out in 2020, now 2024 is coming out. The graphics are fucking ridiculous, and truly global. You can fly over your house. All the scenery and weather data is streamed hence the insane requirements.

I'm not massively into it, do like the odd flight over the lakes in my Cessna though. 👍

He'll be the only pilot that DOESN'T get to shag the air hostesses. :cuppa:


Renton: “I’ve just bought flight simulator and I got you this little outfit. Wouldn’t it be really sexy if we….”

 

Mrs Renton: “No fuck off. I’m not shagging someone who plays flight simulator, I don’t know any self respecting person who would.”

You can just tell this comes from years of being an accountant.

Lasses love a bean counter. It means we know where to find beans.

Turned that off.  Fuck me, what a charade.

Badenoch banging on about how Trump is right and Europe does need to increased military spending.  She does know that the US economy works on it's country being in a perpetual state of war doesn't she?  She does yeh?

Stupidly ordered a football shirt from a British online shop for 65 quid. Wife had to pay an extra 18 Euros in taxes to the courier.

 

Thank you CT, you tosspot.

Political journalists getting themselves in a tizzy about the govt planting questions at PMQs. I can only assume they've slept through the last 14 years. Surely they aren't holding the current govt to a higher standard?!

Reading some stuff on Elon’s cunt app..  the usual suspects appear to be suggesting that Starmer in his days as a human rights lawyer may have been in some way responsible for the father of the perpetrator of the atrocity in Southport this summer actually being in the country. Who knows what that would mean for public order after the carry on in the summer. Farage is behind all this, I think when Labour pissed the election he decided he’d have to destroy them using profoundly undemocratic means :cuppa:

Hmm. It is a slight worry that Musk is probably going to spend the next 4 years designing twitter algorithms to get the Reform party into power

I can’t recommend deleting Twitter enough, it’s a cesspit that is designed to keep you doom scrolling. 
 

You get fed enough things that you’re interested in to keep you hooked, but it also feeds you lots of this shit designed to anger or annoy you. 
 

You can argue algorithm all you want, echo chamber all you want, it’s full of musk/russian controlled bots destabilising the west and common sense. It’s appealed to the lowest comment denominator and won. It’s lowered the terms of debate and without overblowing it, it’s a cancer on society. 
 

Deleted it years ago, got involved in local issues with social enterprises that help people. Look after my friends and loved ones. The rest of the world will burn. There is not much else we can we do.

Farage turning up at the farmer's protest today, in a flat cap and barbour, with his trousers tucked into his wellies in Central London. Literally cosplaying. 

 

He convinced these dopey cunts to vote against their own best interests for Brexit. If they're buying his snake oil a second time around just cos he's prepared to march alongside them, they can all fuck off.
