If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

My brother made an amusing discovery for those of us with an infantile sense of humour. The Labour MP for Broxtowe in from 1929 to 1953 in Nottinghamshire was called Seymour Cocks.

Ness is a prequel, starring Cú Chulainn’s grandmother in her youth. When her father, the king of Ulster, is powerless to stop a murderous outlaw, she turns outlaw herself to hunt him dow . But first she had to take stock. Also comments are closed - there are some around these parts that take a dim ...

Well, waddya know, the Pit's still here, and still girnin' about PZ and his shit. It's... I'll say good to be back. I'll have to catch up with the undead thread. Britain's favourite cartoon character Jacob Rees Mogg has inspired a few memes after being caught reclining in the House of Commons: https...

Jake Thackray song about Yorkshire. I think there's some redneck parallels going on.

Re the "British redneck" debate, the ones with the reputation for inbreeding are from Norfolk, and the ones with the reputation for bestiality are the Welsh.

For what it's worth, I think 13 months is disproportionate. I think sentences are usually served half inside and half on parole, so presumably he'll be out in six and a half, but even that's a bit excessive. Presumably they want to make sure this trial is allowed to finish without any more of Tommy'...

Robinson's just another narcissist with a made up name and assumed identity who thinks the law doesn't apply to him because he's on the side of the angels. If he put on a frock the Pit would recognise him for what he is. Absolutely right. The scandal of Muslim grooming gangs not being investigated ...

I fucking hate that term "reached out to" when they mean "tried to contact or got no reply" It aint a fucking Bronte novel. I'd like to add the british political pr term "called for" as in "I've called for _____". Annoys the fuck out of me for some reason. May I include "Unveiled" Used in sporting ...

A slight change of topic. The phenomena that is political dynasties that occurs in the US and Canada at least (I'm not sure if this as bad in Yurp) is poison to democracy. We have second Trudeau in power in Canada that is mainly there because of his last name. The Conservatives have Carolyn Mulrone...

Ain't seen Black Panther, and have superhero movie fatigue so I probably won't. Leaving aside the whole race thing, from the advance publicity it just seems so very American, using other parts of the world as a backdrop to a purely American story about American issues. I wonder what Africans will ma...

Ive never understood the difference between the statements 'My wife is insatiable' and 'I can't satisfy my wife'. "My wife's gone on holiday to India" "Goa?"

Congratulations, you've made it to adulthood!

You really think he has a novel called The Cattle Raid of Cooley? He's Irish, not Welsh!

Nobody" .) who pr...

Seems to me the underlying fundamental neoconservative idea is also the blank slate. The underlying fundamental idea to neoconservatism is a profound disdain for any human life or respect for humane values outside your own nation/political clique.

So is anyone looking forward to (or even backwards at) - the new Doctor Who story ' Shada ' ?

A farmer purchases a young cock. As soon as he gets it home it fucks all 150 of the farmers hens. The farmer is impressed. At lunch the cock again screws all 150 hens.

Surely it's very bad medical ethics for psychiatrists to en masse publicly diagnose someone, especially someone they have no involvement in treating? It brings the entire profession into disrepute. Having said that, I've had my own experience with mental health professionals, and I think that, while...

Some thoughts on the Foxy Folklorist and consent. Consent will stop being something to be sought when it starts going both ways. When a woman's consent is the difference between a loving relationship and a heinous crime, but a man's consent is a complete non-issue, of course men will seek to obtain ...

Saw The Last Jedi yesterday, and what the hell, I'll weigh in. Rey was a weak protagonist in The Force Awakens, because although she was the focal character, she had no real motivation. Her character arc is her discovery that she's awesome. She's basically Neo from the Matrix. She's a stronger prota...

Bullshit, AndrewV69. I can find Jezebel, Root and Slate articles by feminists that copy pasted the 2-8% number all day long, so that must be the truth. I'm not a statistician, but even the difference between 2% and 8% seems huge; a factor of four! Can't they be a bit more accurate than that? The 2%...

A couple of possible explanations that have occurred to me about the #MeToo phenomenon. 1. A small number of high-profile men have serious allegations made about them. Flooding the media with accusations, both serious and trivial, about high profile men dilutes those original accusations and diverts...

Why else do you think I'm digging out the most embarrassing songs? They'll never be able to overrun our emplacements when they're cringing that hard.

So when we object to laws that say that if a man and a woman both get drunk and both willingly have sex together, he's a rapist and she's a victim, the regressives genuinely can't grasp that point of view, because they're thinking religiously, not rationally. I'm still more inclined to the EP expla...

Been thinking a bit lately about the "different moral standards applying to different categories of people" thing that the regressive left is so fond of. A video I watched with Jordan Petersen and Jonathan Haidt a while back dropped something into the mix, and this morning I had a realisation of sor...

I just ordered a Les Trem, Paddy. Cheers for the rec. I find it easier to just take all the wiring apart and start again if I'm having trouble finding the source of a problem.

Ok, good news and bad news. I switched the jack wires and it reduced the buzz significantly, but not entirely. It stops when I touch the jack plate, but touching the bridge has no effect at all, and touching the back of the pots makes it worse. The pickups still sound a bit muffled, although not as ...

Paddy. Either your kit neglected to include a ground wire running to the bridge or you forgot it, or you've hooked up the output in reverse (the muffled sound makes me lean toward this being the problem). If you do have a ground wire running to the bridge and it is connected at the other end, just ...

By her own admission, Malady was diagnosed with "PTSD-like symptoms". To recap: she claimed she experienced trauma from mean comments made on twitter, then spend 17 hours a day telling everyone about it on twitter. That ain't PTSD. The problem is the DSM, which has reduced psychiatry to checklists,...

I fucking love how PZ and the rest of the regressives get angry at the "terrorism" label being applied to terrorist incidents. Fucking scumbags.

As far as comics go they'd be in bad times even without the SJW entryists, because they're such an outdated business model.

And looking up Doug Williams on Wikipedia, he does seem to have had a fairly distinguished career, but was overlooked and underpaid in the NFL in the days when black quarterbacks were virtually unheard of, and spent his best years in a rival league.

Looking up that Super Bowl on Wikipedia, I'm reminded how freaky it was. Quarterback Doug Williams and running back Timmy Smith seemed to appear out of nowhere shortly before the final, both played absolute blinders and then were never heard of again. Something funny going on there.

Looks like a nice grain to the wood. How're you planning to finish it?

It's only a veneer, about an atom thick, but it is pretty. I haven't decided on the finish yet. It's between a green-yellow sunburst, and a plain oil finish.
