Perfection is everything

A little outside of the thread's charter, but still:

I put crisps in between buttered bread, and yet you say I am not part of this culture?

I shout "weyyyy" when someone smashes a glass in a pub, and still I am not part of your culture?

WHEN YOU SAY AUTOGLASS REPAIR, I SAY AUTOGLASS REPLACE, BUT I AM NOT OF THIS CULTURE??? https://t.co/cU60a7pH71

BBC1's prime time show this evening is a single 90 minute shot of a van driving down a road in the drizzle.

slow television. it's a thing.

you know, with the right soundtrack (so not these cunts droning on) this could be pretty good TV

i turned it on on yr recommendation (sound down) and yes it's terrific

modern city light is gorgeous

i had the same thought a few minutes back, take out the obsequious blather over the top and put a few captions on there and you've got a show

you wait until they drive back to London, could easily get 12 hours out of that, simulcast on the red button.

alternate commentary by hacker the dog

trying it with some different music, not sure this one works, any suggestions?

It's better if you take away the tedious commentary and add some music. pic.twitter.com/Kv9zxITydm

im listening to the new 5-4 pod

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-62900500

"BBC to stream Queen Elizabeth II lying in state"

even slower tv...

If it didn't all absolutely boil my blood some of this could be prime ASMR fodder.

(saw my first EiiR memorial bus-stop earlier today, which then changed into some betting ad)

this seems not great:

My local business of the week award goes to Bing Shropshire, who has been selling his jugs of tea in the Municipal Gardens for 45 years. 'The odd thing is,' confessed Bing, 64, 'is that I don't even like tea. I hate it. And I hate people.'
We wish him many more years of success. pic.twitter.com/rgbvHmj0Yr

googling "bing shropshire" brings up this tweet and nothing else that isn't just accidentally in the search field

too real for gs

it reminds of the real mini golf course that used to be in Rectory Park that had an honesty box and cans of pop on sale for 50p for when there was nobody there, god knows how that worked. The council stopped maintaining it 10 years ago and it's overgrown and strewn with dogshit now.

wow, sudden vivid flashback to the putting green at Pleck Park when i was little

The Jug of Tea place has been a staple of UK Martin Parr type Instagrammers and pre-Instagram bloggers and for about 20 years. I think the price was 99p when I first saw it.

The same old story. One minute it’s a minor tiff over who had the last custard cream, the next it’s global thermonuclear warfare, millions dead, and the rise of the machines as per the prophecy. https://t.co/a1LMTBZxdp

I wanted to know more about Blyth fan John The Toaster. A (presumably drunk) @NiallBromley gave me some context:

"He plugs it in at random bars at away games and makes people toast.

"He's John The Toaster".

here i was hoping he had a bunch of slack rhymes

he once unplugged a bandit in York to make toast and when the barmaid complained he said “don’t worry I’m pat tested”

The property was previously owned by Ed Prynn, Arch Druid of Cornwall, the stones have been visited by many interested parties over the years. Seven Sisters is also renowned for its "Hall of Fame". Mr Prynn fixed slate placards to the wall in tribute to people who had a strong influence in his life.
