- Built at the same time.
100,000 people built the pyramids.
150 people built Stonehenge.
Our ancestors weren't weak, just few.Hayzilla - Stonehenge was a lot bigger too, but I imagine folk wanted rid of the stones as they took over the land.PhanLo

- Someone needs to visit somewhere outside of London. I'd suggest starting off with the Bigg Market in Newcastle on a Friday night.Nairn

brookes are an english company making saddles in england. or so they say:
Brooks England LTD
(Manufacturing Works)
Downing Street, Smethwick
B66 2PA, West Midlands,
England UKhowever if you order anything from them you get this message:
"Due to new Brexit regulations, UK orders must meet a minimum of £135.
For more information, please read here."
https://www.brooksengland.com/en…it seems the saddles are made in england, shipped to italy for sending out around the world. but they cost less than £135, so if you live in the uk you're shit out of luck. or pony up the extra £20 for the privilege.
- I don't think the sort of people who buy Brookes bikes would even notice that extra £20. You rich cunt.Nairn
- I like the way they say 'spa' rather than 'S.p.A.' which sort of seems its trying to hide the foreign ownershipNairn
- hahaha they sent me a 30% off spam. i was simply looking to see how much a saddle i can't afford and don't need would cost is all.hans_glib
- Wait. Do Brooks only make the saddlery? I thought they did the bikes too?Nairn
- so my 30% discount would bring the cost down to £80 or so.
but i'd have to buy two to get that discount.
effing scammershans_glib - and they make overpriced bike luggage as well.hans_glib
- they are not at all comfortable seats.shapesalad
- but less invasive than a vasectomyshapesalad
- owned by an italian company, but sounds like buying anything niche + british made in northern ireland atm. we have chain reaction for bike shite at leastkingsteven
- got quoted 40 quid postage for a 40 quid tin of paint earlierkingsteven
- They're already severely overpriced. You're paying for 5 letters.garbage
- I used to ride a Brooks C17, really nice seat and was comfortable. I just changed to a Fabric.cc seat when I changed to risers,they give a better upright fit.slappy
- That place is about 10mins from where I live, let me know what you want and i'll steal it.Morning_star
- @morning Shoulder bag plsgarbage
- I clown on Brooks, but I buy Chrome gear. It's the same pretentious shit, just in an American flavor.garbage

Found another one. It's what I imagine the architecture in hell is like. https://mobile.twitter.com/Plann…
-- Nice PV layout there.Nairn
- It looks like architectural hell for native english people, but for the boat people this looks like heaven.shapesalad
- It's all about supply and demand....shapesalad
- "Where do you live?"... "Number 17 Car Park, Motorway Road."shapesalad
- Boat people aren't living in these 'luxury' homes. This is where ex squaddies stab their neighbour to death over parking because their house is to 65% scalePhanLo

Tory peer Michelle Mone takes leave of absence from the Lords; follows report that at least £65m profits paid to her husband from PPE Medpro contracts, £29m to trust benefitting Mone and children, leaked documents indicate.
How are these cunts not in prison??!!
- Pure scum. Prison isn't enough. Let's hope the Covid enquiry reveals all... justice will unlikely happen, sadly.fadein11
- Doubt anything will happen to her, just some free market styles.PhanLo
- rich cunts only go to prison if they fuck over other rich cunts.pango
- I hate to think it, but she's probably a scapegoat for something bigger. And yeah, rich cunts gonna keep on rich cuntingIanbolton

"I would urge everyone to boycott Netflix and make sure that we actually focus on the things that matter." — Guy Opperman, the UK employment minister, on the Harry and Meghan documentary.
Not a ..er.. great observer of irony are we, Guy? How about you do your fucking job?
- the levels of triggerism on Meghan in the K is both absurd and telling. It's embarrassing actually.fadein11
- I saw someone comment y'day that 'Harry should go to a war torn country to understand the reality of real problems'. LOL. Was a joy to see the toolfadein11
- educated that Harry is a well decorated veteran who insisted on fighting on the frontline against advice.fadein11
- DISCLAIMER: They are all still cunts anywayfadein11
- the Daily Mail has 21 pages dedicated to a Netflix documentary today. Bizarre.fadein11

- It is ridic... And we really all know why. Love watching the press and people twist themselves into fucking knots to say otherwise.necromation
- Once the Coronation is out the way, Harry and Meg will be bumped off. Same as his mum was.zardoz
