the rest of the village have never heard of broadband, they think it is a new fangled type of music.

Yeah, I guess if you want fast internet in this country, don't live in a rural area. It's up to you what is most important.

It's hardly a rural area, it's a village 2 miles outside bedford :D

However, the vendor has said he got 6mbit when was living there, and infinity has just been installed, which is very different to what all the online checks are saying. I'm going to try and get the phone number so I can confirm myself.

Clapham? Oakley, maybe?

If they have gone to infinity that's a vast improvement.

How much do you use? I'm guessing there's no point trying to go mobile.

Sure, but my flat postcode is in an infinity area, but my actual flat isn't. The only way to be sure is with the phone number.

So, The Sun had a "mammery lapse" and Page 3 is back.

There's a big picture of a (very) pretty lady showing off her boobs, and the text says "Further to recent reports in all other media outlets, we would like to clarify that this is Page 3 and this is a picture of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth. We would like to apologise on behalf of the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about us."

I bet they're loving it.

It was slightly amusing seeing them having to report this on the BBC, almost literally through gritted teeth.
User avatar
Interesting. Rumours are that they tried to let it die quietly, but when such a fuss was made about it (and what the 'next' steps were), they just thought fuck it and brought it back. Top trolling.

It's pretty awful, but it's not the worst thing about the Sun. If they were just going to replace bare breasts with covered breasts it was hardly a feminist win anyway. Unless you're some kind of puritan.

Do male feminists watch porn?

We had a big customer event at work today, with lots of guests so much of my day was spent running a "customer in a reasonably priced car" competition on the Top Gear test track in Gran Turismo 5 with a nice racing seat and logitech G25.

There are worse ways to earn a living.

Whilst I find Spiked-Online's brand of hardcore ex-Marxist libertarianism annoying at times, there is something pleasing in their article comparing the reaction to the Paris shooting with the response to the temporary basis ending of Page 3: http://www.spiked-online.com/freespeech ... 3-movement

One of the problems of being an almost-absolutist believer in free speech is that one ends up having to defend an awful lot of shit.

Yes, but that particular combination is unlikely. I was taking the piss somewhat.

To seriously answer Mimi's question: it's ok to like things but find certain aspects troublesome. Porn, violent games/films, etc.

Didn't know you knew the place. So it was the Official BeeX Pub of the Dreaming Spires after all.

Of course, since the White Rabbit opened in 2012 or thereabouts it did start facing a lot more competition, especially as the Rabbit's pizzas are superb and its wi-fi more reliable.

There are quite a lot of female feminists that watch porn, I'd be surprised if there were no male feminists doing the same...

Although it's more difficult to justify it's a sex-positive feminist stance, considering most men watch porn anyway.

I personally don't really enjoy it much.

I only enjoy it for a couple of minutes or so.

"Most men" do lots of things, I'm not sure avoiding these things because of that reasoning is at all logical.

(Yes, I may be deliberately missing your point :p )

There is something reassuring when you walk into your local pub, the owner sees you, and, with a mad glint in his eye, begins to tap a pump handle. "Do you like chilli?" He asks. "Obv" your hero replies. So I now have a chocolate and chilli porter with an amazing aftertaste. Superb.

I don't get "offers over" prices. I wonder if anybody ever actually offers more that the lowest number? Why would you? It's not a sealed bid system or anything like that.
