I think that has got to be one of the greatest TV comedy punchlines of all time.

Not sure what a stinger is, but someone should tell him to save his pillows, since the protest has largely been broken up this weekend.

Also read today that some right-wing commentator was calling for the US to send troops to Canada to defend the protesters and overthrow the Canadian government. Don't the Republicans have things in their own country to worry about?

They just keep getting crazier and crazier.
They're having a fit over this, but I have a feeling most of them probably loved it when our police were even worse with the Black Lives Matter protests.

Boris Johnson.

Gary Busey.

Prove to me they're not the same person.

You can't, can you?

Someone once suggested that if you're losing your hair, just shave your whole head.

Isn't that kind of equivalent to having half your face accidentally burned by acid, and then deciding to deliberately splash acid on the other half?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ No, not really.

I've been shaving my head every morning since '05. I don't do it because I'm ashamed of losing my hair, I do it to accelerate the process. I just don't LIKE having hair.

i'd really would like mine to fall off as it's rather thin which means if i wear a hat you see where it was (30 minutes of wearing) when i take it off and i am a hat collector

Only a few problems with being bald: 1) If I cut myself shaving, head wounds tend to bleed a lot; and 2) I am sometimes told that I look like Rob Halford.

Yep

Fair enough. Some people don't. I guess because I passionately dislike my bald spot, it makes little sense to me to expand it.

Are there any sports besides equestrian sports where individual men and women compete against each other on equal footing?

Men and women? Hell, it's the horses that are doing all the work.

I am currently listening to one of the most boring job related presentations ever - customs laws and procedures.

Anyone remember the scene in Ferris Buellers' Day Off when the teacher is going through his list of names? That's me at the moment.

Not really, the rider does a lot more than most people think. It's the rider who has to set everything up, they have to make sure they are going the right angle, with the right speed, and even have to make sure they have the number of steps between each jump. Get even one of those things wrong and stuff like this happens.

yeah, the rider helps the horse - bollocks - without the rider the horse would go around the obstacles.

that whole 'sport' comes from training cavalry horses to jump enemy defences to more easily sabre down the dudes manning them.
