Say what you like about verrucas - at least they only abuse children below the ankle.

Verrucas - The classy peadophile.

Those sawtooth roofs factories have are designed such that the steep side is glazed and faces away from the equator, letting as much light in as possible but not direct sun.

The Fireman (Twin Peaks) is Lurch (The Munsters movies)

[Tokyo van Ramming]

He was in The Addams Family films, actually.

[Twed]

Sorry, yeah, I'll correct it.

He was The Fireman (Due South) and Lurch (Ernest Scared Stupid).

[St_Eddie]

Lurch (The Addams Family movies) is The Fireman (Twin Peaks).

Fortified wines are made by adding spirits to them, so they're more like the Irish wine of Peep Show fame than the classy and extra fermented drink I'd assumed.

^ yes, port was made out of necessity, to stop spoilage on the journey to England when we couldn't get claret 'cos war. But we still have a taste for it so they keep making the stuff.

How are the spirits ever expected to move on from purgatory if they're being forced into fortifying wines?!

Wow. When you put it like that it does make them sound like drinks that only the most serious of boozehounds would go near.

BBC Three's 'Being Human' was called that because it's like 'human being' but backwards. Was it? I dunno but i'm gonna keep saying it. Was that a good series? I can't remember

[VelourSpirit]

that's fucking stupid actually nevermind

[St_Eddie]

Actually, no, I think that you're right.  Well spotted.  It had never occurred to me.

[touchingcloth]

Surprising, innit? I never suspected that "fortified" was code for "tramp".

Another thing I've just realised: the Flying Squad don't.

I enjoyed 2016, when all the headlines were "She's a big girl now! Sauce pot tower tragedy is a flirtatious DD and turns legal in less than a year, start your stopwatches but don't look at her tits til 2017 you big pedo!"

His full real name is "Snoopy (A Dog) Rap Dogg", so it's just a shortening of his name.

Did you not wonder why everyone was pouring them into the pool? Which is disgusting by the way, like swimming through syrup, you need about 5 showers afterwards.

[imitationleather]

Tropicana, far from being free, is extremely expensive.

This took me a year or 2 in fairness. No games use it as a touchpad!

Here's a good one - when you're using the PS4 controller as a keyboard, you can toggle "tilt" to select letters rather than scroll using the buttons. Only clocked that one last month.
