I heard President Zelensky survived 3 assassination attempts and thought, I hope the next succeeds, when I realised I got him confused with Lukashenko. :lol:

I found a solution to those flipping adverts when you've popped out of a fag. Take your headphones off, enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the night, and your cigarette, skip the ads when you get back in. :D

My bot made a virtual fortune in practice mode. I immediately clicked on the main screen hoping that once again, I was accidentally in live mode but no such luck this time. :)

I've spent my entire life opening jars for women, but for the first time ever, I've got a fat jar of jalapenos that I can't open!

My natural instinct was to reach for my toolbox but the jar's too wide for mole grips. Smashing the jar open or drilling through the top would be a health hazard and contaminate the jalapenos.
As a professional jar opener my advice would be to just pop the tight vacuum seal, I usually try and stick a knife under the lid or tap the lid a few times with a wooden spoon until it pops 👍

Works every time unless there are beautiful single women present in which case it somehow embarrassingly won't work and you'll look like an idiot. So what you do in those situations is take a rubber band and wrap it around the lid before twisting it, you will not only appear clever but this will also prove how firm and manly your grip is to everyone present, sometimes even the men.
I've just used a table knife to break the seal and it worked a treat. No women present, but with thousands of Ukrainian girls heading to the UK I feel well equipped to open their jars, for starters at least. :D

I'm glad it worked that well for you but hopefully that wasn't the only useful piece of advice that I've dispensed on this forum 👍

I've just seen something I've never seen before in my life, Illumenous birds flying in the dark. I was wondering what the fuck is lighting up those birds in the pitch dark when I realised, it's the full moon. :D

Just went to the kitchen to check on my pizza and realised I forgot to put it in the oven. :lol:

What a mess! Got a good covering of Sahara Desert sand on my garden furniture, as most of you probably did.

Porn is going to be restricted to adults only. Not that I'm against that, it's about time they had measures to block underage usage. I'm just worried you'll have to give a credit card number to any site you visit.

William and Kate embark on an official tour of a Caribbean island without their advisors checking that they're welcome. :lol:

Just enjoying Monty Python on That's TV.
How sad we have reached a point that comedy needs to be prefaced by "this programme reflects the standards, language and attitudes of its time. Some viewers may find this content offensive".
A satirical sketch right there!

Next, they'll be having a warning on Enid Blyton's books. :)

I had that ah-ha moment when I realised why my code wasn't working. But before fixing it, I had a cigarette, a few more beers and posts to the Ukraine thread, and now I can't remember what the fuck the solution was! Just have to leave it for tomorrow. :lol:
