He probably masturbated into a cup.

At 89 I think I'd be happy with that most days of the week.

Best eulogy ever.

I actually just did a little vurp.

Bloke sets up a fake Facebook page advertising a bike ride, people threaten to scatter drawing pins to sabotage the race then Humberside Police get involved:

Quite a convincing fake seeing as that group has been around and organising rides for least 18 months from what i can tell

Edit: Since 2010 actually

What rides has that gentleman organised?

He's a well-known crank who has no connection with any rides anywhere.

He has posted photos of a ride he claims to have organised. It's a photo from Australia:

I didn't fancy going back and reading 9 years of posts tbh, but a casual glance looked like it wasnt something set up specifically to announce fake rides during the pandemic.

Perhaps it's a general troll account. I misunderstood what you said as meaning that the Facebook group had been set up for announcing a fake ride.

Kinda think this belongs in Epic Win

Venezulea claims it was cruise liners fault... yet the patrol boat is clearly a lot faster/more manoverable than a damn cruise liner. They got what they deserved with their navy boat sinking

Ha!

Wait till you see this.

There’s a version of the story that says the cruise ship was either delivering, or believed to be delivering mercenaries.

Naval vessel being owned by a cruise liner is a bit embarrassing for sure.

Boris Johnson in hospital

Shame he's taking up a bed

You don’t get admitted to hospital for tests BTW

He’s probably not in Nightingale either

I hope he’s treated with the respect he’s shown the NHS.

/s

Harsh

But apt.

taking it on the chin. what a prince. Hopefully someone with a sense of humour will slap a DNR notice on his bed for the lels.

thoughts and prayers nonetheless, obvs.

I hope he does recover, man has a family.

Just hope it’s god awful recovery. Very long and torturous.

man has a family.

Many families, even
