For my job I am constantly asking customers for their proof of purchase for tech items. Most of them if needed are able to go back to the retailer and get a duplicate invoice/receipt.
Many years ago someone did a dangerous close pass on my Dad on his motorbike. When he caught up with them at the next lights he leant in their window, took out the keys and launched them into a nearby field.
For a while in my late teens I had the nickname Bob after him. I’d broken my wrist and the cast came up past my elbow, keeping my arm in the same position as when he held Spit the Dog.
The best tip I read for Barbarians is to know as little as possible going in.
A YouTuber I watch did a video about it and I thought it was a wind up at first when he was talking about how dangerous it was.
You must be mistaken. All the ads I say stress the importance of gambling responsibly, so they must really have the best interest of the players at heart.
Friend of mine once woke up to his little sister holding a cat above him which she immediately dropped on his face, much to the surprise of both him and the cat.
Some of my favourite comedians regularly have references in their shows that I don’t quite understand. I’m absolutely fine with the idea of listening to someone smarter than me.
Take Me Out has one of the all time great intros.
By far the most hate I ever received online was when I complimented someone’s art. The artist liked the comment but an insane number of people didn’t like my exact phrasing of it and were sure to let me know.
Harry Hill joked with an audience member who was receding by saying ‘Did you notice it the same as I did? Taking longer and longer to wash your face?’
I once read someone give an album a 1 star review because it hadn’t been released yet. We need to learn to disregard the opinions of humans.
It’s one of the few ‘sports’ where the whole point of it is betting. The entire focus of the commentary and discussion around it is the odds. It’s one of the only ones that I think would completely cease to exist without the gambling.
I remember watching Face/Off with my brother and he was critical of the stopping distances when a car was chasing a plane down a runway. Had to tell him that accuracy wasn’t really John Woo’s thing. He’d made about 4 films full of shootouts before anyone felt the need to reload.
You’d feel pretty dumb if it turned out we had a They Live situation going on and only these guys could see what was really going on.

I thought I recognised it! We walked over to from Helmsley as well when we stayed nearby a few years back. Lovely place and area.
Have you tried doing a comic about a minor parking dispute between neighbours or someone sitting in the wrong seat on a plane so that everyone can argue in the comments? The algorithm seems to love those.
I’m on day 8 of waiting for my delivery. Currently into my 4th hour of being on hold with the courier and they will, in all likelihood, close for the day in an hours time before I get through to them. Hope yours goes better.
Yup. And that was with my glasses on. Long day.
Someone said the only conspiracy they believe in is time travel is real and that some keeps going back to 2019 to fix things but every time they do they only make it worse.
My Spanish cousins would always talk in English but revert back to Spanish if they were arguing.
It used to be that a 330ml can of Coke had a nutritional label saying a serving was 200ml. What did they think people were meant to do with the other 130ml?
Great film and I’ve no idea why it’s so long since I last watched it. Need to remedy that soon.
