So, my upstairs neighbour now thinks I'm, like, an abuser. Which is awkward. Not looking forward to the next time I run into her in the lift. 

My cat pissed in the bed. I was in the bed at the time so I got pretty angry and loud. This cat has caused thousands of pounds worth of piss-damage since we've had him, so I feel like it's justified. However afterward my girlfriend got a message from the neighbour asking if she was OK. Worse, we took over and hour to reply and the reply was badly structured so it totally seems like we spent time coming up with and typing out a bad cover story. Damn.  

You really shouldn't be allowed to keep pets. 

I want to say you should have said all that as a response on Facebook, but I daresay an angel would have died of AIDS if you had.

Vince is clearly the Adam Bowler of American football. 

I've got nothing against his crusading but his recipes are mainly shit. 

I've got the latest kodi build running fine on my firestick. If you can read it's pretty simple to set up. Just Google for a tutorial.

TIL that a ribbon is a riband.

Not true. A riband is a ribbon but not all ribbons are ribands. 

A ROYAAAAAALLL crumble needs at least 3 times as much custard. Poor effort.

Digital viewers can now press the red button for uninterrupted coverage of the 96 hour wait.

A while before it comes on TV? Have I missed something? Are we having a mid-series break?

Jackie Chan in his prime could sell JCVD under the table.

Best solo career of the lot of them, and all.

That's very debatable. Not necessarily wrong, but certainly debatable. All of them, except Ringo obviously, have had some wonderful solo moments.

On an unrelated, but still gaming note I picked up the Telltale Back To The Future game this weekend and had a crack through that. It's a cracking yarn, some of the cast turn up and there's plenty of fans evince to be had, but if you're not a fan of the movies you should probably give it a miss, or have a dabble with the first one to see what you think. 

Agreed. Not the best games in the world but absolutely fantastic for fans of the films to get an idea of what might have happened next, or previously...

I can't watch it. You can probably tell by my contributions to this thread that I have no tolerance whatsoever for this shit. I can stretch to 10 minutes laughing at the bigfoot hunters before I start screaming at the TV. Ancient Aliens had no chance. 

Hollow earth!? What the fuck is wrong with humanity?

An octopus appears to be intelligent, but has a nervous system entirely unlike ours. How do we quantify its intelligence, let alone attempt to communicate with it?

We wait until it develops an interstellar spacecraft.

I don't deny that their civilisation would very likely have developed religions; that appears to be a standard, primitive stab at understanding the world that I would imagine is pretty universal. But yes, you're right that I assume that any civilisation that has developed interstellar travel has long since done away with religion. But that's just me extrapolating our only known example to its logical conclusion.

Of course, if the aliens turned up and were religious themselves.....

I think that's the most unlikely thing in this whole thread. We could be so primitive in comparison that we receive them as gods though. All they'd need to do is turn a spot of water into wine, job done.

Hell, if intelligent life from other planets ends up being broadly human-like, that would throw a lot of evolutionary theories into question

That's not really true. Even on Earth we have many, many examples of convergent evolution. The fact that we currently only have a sample size of one actually forces biologists to assume, until further evidence is forthcoming, that life on other planets would be similar to life on Earth.

3. Let's assume that, as it appears to be, the evolution of life is extraordinarily rare.

Let's not. Life on Earth developed almost immediately once conditions were suitable, so it appears as though it's highly likely.

Some people don't even believe the moon landing or that the earth isn't flat. They won't believe this.

In this specific case, they'll be unusually accurate in their beliefs.

He's obviously been hacked. 

He's probably already having one. 

Why can't you still measure it if it snaps? Does it need to be whole for Cheryl Baker to officially recognise it?

Scampi Fries are apparently fish free

We all know there's only one other thing on the planet that can produce that flavour apart from fish. 

Triple H still has luscious hair all over his manly head. In his case the short hair is clearly just a lifestyle choice.

Doesn't Trump own Mar-A-Largo? He might be spending his weekends there, but surely he isn't spending $3.6m a time of tax-payer money going to a place he owns

Why not? This is Donald Trump.
