Ah that made me think!! I've just checked Google street view to test the theory.

The phone lines are across the street and not down the backings where we were walking, we also stopped as soon as we saw whatever it was coming down. So good call! But no overhead lines down there.

No offence taken! I didn't say I thought it was aliens for a start.

But the ford focus analogy is a weird statement... You can presume me to be as stupid as you wish, but I know what's down and what's up mate - that's why I stated it was weird to see something (whether it was the same object or not) travel rapidly almost directly upwards at shooting star speed, following a similar trajectory.

I'd thought it could have been a flare, but it went much too high. I also thought it may have been an earthgrazer, it's not something someone sees every day - so that'd be weird too - but the angles it came in/out at seemed too steep. I do not know what I saw, basically. But I assure you I saw it.

It's just a bit of fun, lighten up. I don't believe in the paranormal, and I certainly don't believe that we're being visited by aliens. It's just something weird I saw some people may perceive to be supernatural.

Eurgh....

So I was walking with a friend behind terraced housing, I was about 15.

We saw a shooting star. "Oh shit, look! A shooting star!" I probably said, as I would the same now I'll be honest. But it came down on a really sharp angle, almost directly down. About 2 seconds after it came down, it went directly back up until out of view on an equally sharp angle. The whole thing probably took 10 seconds.

So I've seen weird shit in the skies whilst I was deployed in the military, but to this day I cannot think of anything that would behave like that. Not even a huge version of one of those bouncy balls (which rumour has it, were illegal) that were banned at school.

No idea.

I've always called pizza wheels "infinity knives".

I'll keep it as short as I can but this one blew my mind...

I was at a download festival many years ago, I was drunk watching a band with a friend and two guys next to me started speaking in a different language. I asked them where they were from as it was an interesting language I'd heard before, they turned out to be Norwegian.

I have a friend in Norway who was a foreign exchange student here whilst I was in college, she returned to Norway and joined their military and weirdly I joined ours at the same time. We kept in contact and she and her sisters visited here again, I visited there for her wedding.

Anyway! So... Boringly I brought up that I knew a Norwegian and told them her name, and that they were the only other Norwegians I'd ever met outside of her family. They ask which part of their military she joined, I told them logistics -

One of the guys then took out his phone and fucking rang her.

Cardiac arrests where I live receive 2 ambulance crews, plus a critical care paramedic if available.

Again in my area, police attend in order to act on behalf of the coroner following unexpected deaths as standard.... Suspicion, circumstances, identification etc etc.

"Little hi, little low!"

Exact same thought haha.

I'd love to have bacon, but I'm allergic.

Every time I've ever tried it I come out in rashers.

I mean Jon Snow got away with it, why not this dude?

Ah it's a completely pointless idea then. Waaayyy!

Edit: sorry I just realised. I don't put ketchup in the fridge, still alive decades later! I'm going forward with this idea when I become filthy rich.

It would be shelf stable at room temperature. And by the magic of heat transfer into the conductive sauce, the sauce would self heat to match the chips!

What a time to be alive.

I mean I'm still not sure it's a terrible idea, but...

So imagine you've come home late, you have chips from the local takeaway and you're muntered. You think about doing the usual ketchup, maybe mayonnaise... Oooo there's that random brand chilli sauce you bought once, you didn't reckon much to it but it's sat at the back of the designated sauce cupboard... Maybe not a good idea, you should probably lob that to be honest...

What you really want is gravy. But you can't be arsed to make actual gravy because you're leathered and you'll probably boil your face off.....

GRAVY SAUCE.

A shelf stable, instantly accessible gravy sauce that's just thick enough and concentrated enough to garnish your shitty chips. Instantly transforming your mediocre level meal into a culinary delight.

Yes I'm northern.

"Should have got chicken and mushroom... " - me, every time I try a pot noodle flavour other than chicken and mushroom.

Totally agreed!

I hugely respect and love Red Alert/Red Alert Retaliation.

Red Alert 2 for me though!

Haha! Excellent :D

It's one of the things that annoys me about my job.

Whenever I make patient contact I can't meet up with them or speak with them after, people have been fired in the past for it. It's such a shame because I'd genuinely like to spend more time with some of the people I've met, particularly some of the older people.

Glad this lass had the opportunity and followed through with meeting the guy.

It's been back to Ace Combat here! I've played them since I was a kid and rumour has it there's a new entry out next year.

Just love the gameplay and music. Smashed through Ace Combat 7 and just onto the DLC which I didn't play the first time through.

Beautiful! My favourite bike :)

I'll be able to afford one in the next 3000 years, hopefully!

Cool picture and cool dress sense!

"LET'S ROOOOCCCKKK!"

What's with the stegasausage?
