Nah. Someone called Logan Paul. He's done a 'vlog' in a Japanese suicide forest that purports to show an actual suicidee hanging from a tree. People are outraged.Quote:

2017 ended poorly, Lewis Hamilton having to apologise on Twitter for taking the piss out of his young nephew wearing a dress, FFS!Quote:

No. It's more that everyone saw an opportunity to display how virtuous they are by putting the boot into the silly cünt. Social media is very possibly the worst thing ever to happen to the human race imo.Quote:

But at the same time, watching Owen take a shoeing is always enjoyable.
All in all, it was very confusing.
Apparently Comedy Gamer Shorts and his family (including KSI) got booted out of Japan because CGS filed parts of the suicide forest he wasn’t supposed to.
Was there another YouTuber filming there?
Felt a bit for Lewis...shameful targeting imo
My kids love this Logan Paul chap, they will be thrilled at this news.Quote:

Driving on English motorways is sh1t and one of my 2018 NY resolutions* is to avoid it at all costs.
* I don't really do NY resolutions cause they're also sh1t.
Burney in overstatement shocker. :rolleyes:Quote:

I don’t really understand what sort of fùcked-up society has a suicide forest, tbhQuote:

In fact, it becomes clear that the German capacity for cock up was quite as great as ours. It also points out that defeats like Norway and Crete were strategically disastrous for Germany - despite them winning.
You’re going to start ranting on the internet?Quote:

A system that encourages people to abandon their babies by enabling them to do it anonymously strikes me as one of the most ethnically reprehensible ideas I've ever heard.

Surely, and one doesn't wish to be pedantic, but surely it's an apple press? I mean, pressing cider would seem to me an ultimately fruitless task.
I know. But in a western country in 2017?Quote:

Well if the alternative is children being abandoned in bins, parks or public toilets :shrug:Quote:

Ah, well in that case I may have seen some of this. My teenage children have shown me youtube videos of a young, black chap who speaks with an appallingly common accent doing reviews of fried chicken shops around London. They are the sort of place where swarthy looking people offer a fried chicken meal for around £2.99 including chips and a drink. This young chap uses the words 'mad' and 'sick' and the phrase 'the man' quite a lot.Quote:

Took us over 5 hours to get back from Sheffield the day after boxing day so that really is quite impressiveQuote:

Took me 5 1/2 hours to get from Brighton to Knaresborough on Saturday... that was also a recordQuote:
