The TPU UK Clubhouse

typical british humor - Too bad the rest of the crew didnt have it in them to see the funnier side of it
 
I thought i would check the crime map for my area

https://www.police.uk/dyfed-powys/110/

the latest figures are for November. The closest recordable crime was 4 miles away from where i live. I find it hard to believe.

No theft?
No violence?
No drugs?
No abuse?
No crime against vehicles or property?
No fraud?


I cant believe they cant catch anyone.

To many welsh copper's have got wet because of government cuts and their Force size is Shrinking
the crooks don't care because they have learn't to wear wellies
Coppers are not that smart
 
Welsh crime is treated as a hobby, so stats are different. I spent my summer holidays growing up in my mum's home town, Newtown. Great days, many misdemeanors.
 
I think i worked it out.

Fibre Optic came on line for us in November........no one is going out any more.

The internet saves us from ourselves. :clap:
 
you know you've got a problem when you take delivery of a knife sharpener and go around the house sharpening just about every knife and pair of scissors you can get your hands on...

I only wanted to sharpen my swiss army knife and the blade i use for my fishing endeavors. But ive even gone as far as sharpening the blade on my craft knife (which was very very dull) and some dull razor blades thati managed to find in my bathroom.

Im still imagining Alan hansen stepping out of one of the cabinets in my bathroom, pointing at me and saying "what the fuck you doin' man?" in a really thick scottish accent.

I have had that knife a long time, it keeps a fantastic edge.

I struggle with the fine details nowadays so i tend to do bigger stuff, ashtrays mainly, i always have at least one in the making.

I have a friend who is a tree surgeon and he brings me presents of wood.
 
hardcore apple fan right here....

6 months battling in court for a refund over a scratch or crack that appeared on an apple watch within 10days of ownership with light usage when the product description clearly claimed it was scratch resistant or impact proof Wins the court case, gets his refund but decides to go out and buy another apple watch...

I guess in the end Apple still won as they still get the guys money when he buys a new Apple watch from them......

+1 for logic - reward a company that tried to fob you off & caused you 6 months of 'stress' while you battled to have it refunded or replaced.

Basically a Sicario at that point. Gosh, it's been a while since I stepped foot in here. Smells aged.
 
@RCoon

Aged like a fine whisky.

It has been pretty dead in here though

weird thought to Screw your mind
" Do the maggots in a Zombie become Zombie's "
 
Nothing exciting in UK compared to the clown show starring Trump over in the other side of the pond.
