We kind of go “brur”.

My fork is the correct fork. None of these are my fork.

In the event of a fork loss, any of these forks could become my fork after a period of time, probably about a month or so until it felt right.

I guess you wanted to Enjoy the Silence? :)

I think others have pretty much covered her social and economic destruction of the UK, so I’ll add “Section 28”.

Section 28 - Wiki link

To “protect our children”, she introduced the policies to ban any books/songs/art/plays etc from schools which mentioned or suggested homosexuality in any way neutral or positive - obviously this led to an increase in the already fairly popular “gay bashing”.

Thankfully nothing like that would happen anywhere now, outside of the few countries Vladimir Putin runs.

I’m assuming you’ve already tried Scribus? scribus.net

If not, worth a pop (again?). You can export an existing indesign project as an idml file, and import that into Scribus and see what’s broken :)

How well it’ll work is a little dependent on how complicated your projects are, or how embedded you are in Indesign or the wider Adobe ecosystem. In truth, I don’t know the full extent of Indesign’s abilities - but you can absolutely use Scribus to produce professional large scale graphics and short run publications etc for print though - though that’s obviously a little dependent on what format/spec your printer wants off you.

If you’re just using it for single page posters/graphics etc, Inkscape covers a lot of the same ground too.

“What’s that you say? Donald Trump has Aides?”

By some traditions, yes. Volcanic sacrifice was particularly popular in the Victorian Era, for example. Unfortunately for fans of the method (and fortunately for those who live in these areas) most of the best volcanoes were in the outer territories of the former British Empire, which are now independent.

I’m sure Ben Nevis is due another pop any time now, but until then “1, 2, 3, into the sea!” :)

That’s a very good question. I think in that case we have to assume “drowned: apply to join the EU”. If he turns up mysteriously alive at a later date, we can set fire to him etc “in arrears”.

These are very sensible and fair plans - though you have to be careful not to make it too much fun, else people might be inclined to say “delay the EU application another month, next week they’re throwing Farage in with some bears! I must see that!”.

Referendums don’t always work, so instead we should throw Nigel Farage into the sea.

If he drowns, we apply to join the EU.
If he floats, we fish him out of the sea and try and set him on fire. If he burns, we apply to join the EU. If he doesn’t burn, we “nexit” him with a guillotine and apply to join the EU.

Burtle zed.

“Rapist Russell Brand charged with attempted comedy”

The Abbot of Wallingford’s flock,
Built a Mechanical Clock,
His ultimate goal,
Was the “winding up” hole,
Which he operated using his small key

There once was an Abbot called Rick,
Who had a mechanical trick,
A timekeeping gear,
Was affixed to his rear,
And the chimes were attached to his nose

Hmm, unless anyone can think of anything that rhymes with “clock” or “Rick”, I can’t really think of a way to make these sound rude.

Hahahaha. That’s brilliant :)

TIL that browsers show a number in the “:D box” if you don’t have enough tabs open.

About 20 years ago, there was an art/tech project for distributing Linux Source code by radio. Probably not very practical in reality, but a lovely concept.

“Truly the worst”? Really that’s the worst painting of you that you can imagine?

Hahahaha.

Gets paint brushes out…

“That’s a challenging wank”

Sean Lock on “8 out of 10 Cats” (skip to 3 minutes in)

They’re mixing up their metric and imperial sizes. These are from Forgefix, which are a British company. Many British people aged about 55 and over tend to still use imperial sizes for some things.

So it’s not 6-8mm, but "the size of wall plug for 6-8 gauge screws, which are 3.5mm - 4mm screws in metric.

Strangely, if you buy a multipack of masonry bits, they give you 3, 4, 6, 8, 10mm bits. Some brands of wall plugs tend to use 5.5mm, 6.5mm, 7mm. It is a conspiracy!

Your options are:

1. Use a smaller drill bit and wiggle it, just a little bit
2. Use a larger drill bit and pack it out with a shim/matchstick/chopped off half-a-wallplug
3. Individually buy the masonry bits which correspond to the plugs
4. Buy a different brand of wall plug, which uses 6mm or 8mm bits

This is a good and thorough answer, and it is likely entirely correct.

I still think traitorous cunts made a ton of money off it though :)
