He eventually had a taste of a curry on a chip a few weeks later and he obviously loved it. There didn't seem to be any racism in it with him, he was a sound guy. He was just really scared that it would be too hot and spicy for him.

I knew a guy about 10 years ago in his late 50s who had never had a curry but it was actually kinda sweet. All his mates in the pub were trying to convince him to have one like a Korma or a tikka but he was convinced they were all going to be way too spicy for him.

I'd love to be able to start in 1900 like you used to be able to do in Sìm City. I could make my towns more realistic that way.

Actually most older things have houses near them. Factories and docks from the Victorian era, football stadiums were all in the town historically, not on the outskirts. Even the 1st NHS hospitals all have houses near them, you can't really do that in the game which is a shame.

Where I grew up, there's houses right next to almost every primary school. Alot of the older high schools are the same, houses got built around these places. All the local train stations have houses around them too. Can't really do that in the game.

It's is a good game when it works but it does have limitations. You can't really build a realistic old village with everything packed close together because it punishes you with noise levels etc.

Cities Skylines 2 has started working again in my pc. I've lost all my custom built roads but it's back. Can't wait to spend a week micro detailing absolutely everything in my perfect british countryside village only to get annoyed when I haven't left space for any amenities or services.

In fact, scrub that. I don't want nudes that trump would find attractive, I'd end up in jail.

Sending a dm to the official white house account asking if they sell nudes.

I think Stan Collymore blocked me too. He said Liverpool were the most successful club in Europe and I pointed out that Real Madrid existed.

I also got blocked by David Haye for calling him a pussy for backing out of a fight because he broke his toe. I said I still had to work with a broken toe so he should too. That was a fair blocking tbf, I was definitely drunk when I went it.

Sweaty lying nonce. You don't give someone £12 million if you're innocent.

I knew his pizza story was lies because he had a police escort with 4 police bikes, two unmarked police cars and he came out of a top of the range Land Rover Sport. Plus the police stopped us from walking on the pavement so people at Woking pizza express would've noticed all that.

The police stopped me and my brother in the street in London to let Prince Andrew go into a building about 6 months before the allegations against him started. I remember him being really small.

I once saw Eve Myles browsing the CD racks in HMV. There is literally no more to that story.

I know I'm getting older because there's a really fit guy on Grindr who I know is interested in me on right now and I'm avoiding the app because I'll end up at his tonight if I start chatting to him. I really want to but I can't be arsed at the same time. Will probably message him in the morning.
