Reed admitted that at a police station, in front of colleagues, he had pulled down the officer’s trouser zip, inserted his hand and touched his penis before shouting ‘it’s a small one’.

Later says it was just banter!!

I wonder what the situation was. If someone touches my zip I would instantly pull backwards.

Same as here in the UK. It’s depressing hearing how bad people in the US and some other countries have it. Although there is always room for improvement on 25 days!

Does the 25 days include national holidays like Xmas, etc? Perhaps it’s more than 25 once the national holidays are factored in?

I had forgotten about the bw TV crackles. The static they creat too and touching the screen with my knuckle when turning it off. The glow which disappears.

I remember having a top loading VHS machine which was pretty fancy at the time. It had a remote control, which was on a 5m cable!

Some of the stuff I’d like to try again, maybe once or twice. The sound of the pips, modem sounds, aligning a type written head after using some tipex, the rhythmic sounds of a floppy drive, the added noise of your favourite song recorded on an old tape, low battery on a walkman. The list goes one!

My mum’s next door neighbour is a 70 something man. His wife was 50 something. They had talked about how he would be the first to go and planned accordingly. She then died suddenly. Life takes unexpected turns.

That’s what I thought too. It’s very sad.

Reminds me of that case in the UK where a dad suffered a heart attack and his 2 year old child died from dehydration. As a dad that one made a tear come to my eye.

A movie without a good guy to come to the rescue.

He really is like a bad guy in a comic book movie. Freeing criminals, recruiting corrupt police, spreading fear and hatred. The beginning of a movie where the place is in criminal chaos.

Wasn’t he pushing the angle that Twitter falsely stated the user base because of the high numbers of bots and therefore falsely stated the business value? I think he was trying to push the sale value down. I could easily be wrong, I didnt follow it closely.

I would guess they used wood pegs either end to make it durable. Wood doesn’t preserve as well and stone.

There’s also no sense of scale. To me it looks like a roller skate. Shaped like a sandal, wider wheel base at the front for stability and it could have have leather or twine round the back of the heal. I could be totally wrong but that was my thinking when looking at it.

That guy just can’t die. Even when his head is cut clean off.

I’ve never seen that before. That’s a good feature.

You have a very long phone

I know a couple of people who said they didn’t know what to vote for so voted for the default, which they thought was to leave.

Some other old person said he doesn’t like immigrants (or specifically people of a certain skin colour) and wants back gold top milk (which apparently the EU took away…).

Somebody else saying they don’t want Brussels telling us what to do and we need our fishing rights back. Also immigration.

My future, my son’s future, all now shaped in a more restrictive way because of people’s views like this.

Ironically for the old racist man we now have less white Europeans immigrants as before and more from Africa and India regions, at least in the area I live. I love it how it’s backfired on him.

Does sex toys with AI built in count?

That’s how I felt here in the UK when I woke up to see the majority voted for Brexit. Before that I thought people can’t be that dumb. Apparently they can.

Blimmin heck! Appreciate the effort in digging that photo up! It doesn’t sound like the same place though.

I’ve done a similar journey in the past and there’s places to stop everywhere. Even in a jungle in north Sulawesi at night, middle of no where, some fella selling durian in a cabin next to a dirt road.

This is covering a few experiences across Indonesia. We stopped at a frozen food shop which had 2 lions in small cages. Stopped at a private collector to see the world’s smallest primate (which I can’t remember the name of now) to find chimpanzees in cages bearly large enough to hold them. Driver stopped at a village which was ravaged by a volcano and people rebuilding their houses, asked if we wanted to stop to take pictures. Asked if we want to visit a wet market selling dog meat. Mid 2000’s, driver asked if we wanted to stop by at the scene of the Bali bombings for photos. Went to a turtle sanctuary to find them baking in bad conditions. Went to a coral reef to find some of the worse plastic pollution I’ve personally seen. Don’t even start me on Jakarta! Although that pace is improving in recent years

Place is crazy. Total lack of consideration for animals and people, unless religion or culture is involved, then the rules are strict. I got in trouble once for handing money over with my left hand.

Totally different to what I’m used to! Place is nuts.

Do you remember where in Indonesia that was? I visited one near Bandung not realising what this coffee actually was. Bit like you I left without trying or buying. The place was a visitor centre and we weren’t allowed to look at the actual farm.

I was in Bandung in Indonesia earlier this year. We visited one of these places not realising what it was. The visitor centre had a bunch of cages which weren’t small but I wouldn’t say large enough for the size of the animal. We asked if we can see the actual farm. He said it was the largest farm so we asked to see it. Nope, not allowed.

They’re also on a strict diet. I wouldn’t be surprised if the ones not on display are force fed.
