scotlad Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Tories have apparently accused Angela Rayner of deliberately trying to distract BawJaws by "crossing and uncrossing her legs", a la Sharon Stone. 🤦♂️ Hey, it could be worse - Ian Blackford could turn up at PMQs in his kilt. 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is losing the plot. The act of a desperate man. This story, I reckon, is just another deflection. Everyone is talking about that rather than absolute mess that is his premiership. It is a bit of a self-own though. It's basically suggesting that Boris is such a perv he can't concentrate if a woman in a skirt sat a few metres away from him crosses her legs. In that sense, I wouldn't be surprised if he really is annoyed. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Och Aye Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 If Sid James, Kenneth Williams, etc were alive today they'd be filming Carry On Westminster. Not sure they could make it more ridiculous than the real thing tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I am curious what Musk and his co-investors see here. Paying 50 billion for a company with Revenues of 5 billion in the last year and that barely made a profit is a bold move. They must have some big plans. To be fair the board running it were total arseholes so there is probably some upside. (I wonder if this means we will see a return of Wings on twitter. That would be amusing.) Just a pity he could not have bought youtube as well. Off the top of my head I think google paid a billion for it. Looks fucking cheap now.

thplinth Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Musk calls himself a founder of Tesla but he wasn't. (A lawsuit allows him to claim it.) He basically bought it out and took it over. He is a phenomenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must see an opportunity to monetise here or synergy with his other businesses. I’m guessing it’s the data he is after…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his cars are crap and personally wouldn’t give up my vehicle for one of his scaletrix cars….

Plus his links to China are very dubious IMO. Its looking like the early to mid 2010s were the peak for humans on the planet. The 2020s look like being utter shit, with just a plethora of absolute shit events, situations and happenings all over the world setting us back. Fuck being a teenager or a bairn now.

Nobody's ever sent you an innocent looking video via WhatsApp, which deliberately has a low volume (making you turn the sound up), that quickly cuts to porno noises/video?
