This man blocked me years ago because I said him using his 800 thousand follower account to actively tag and tweet about how Hertz car rentals was ruining his ski holiday wasn't very man of the people. And now he looks like a bald drunk, the lesson here is to be nice to me.
He blocked you for that?
Blocked within 30 seconds.
Its impressive, despite being a destestable arsehole I think I'm only blocked by 3 people on the entire website: James OBrien, the Run The Jewels Rapper, El-P and Barney Ronay.
What did you do to piss off El-P?
That one I feel fully justified on. This was old school Twitter. He spent years on that very same feed mocking rappers who would use Twitter as a promotional tool and jerking themselves off with retweets into doing exactly that once Run the Jewels popped off.
I quote tweeted this
And then said something along the lines of "When they become what they hate"
and got an immediate reply of "Go fuck yourself you frowny ass fuck" and got blocked.
I can't not read that quote in his rap voice. Wonderful.
Actually @Shindig I just remembered my 4th block which you may be interested in. Austin Walker of 'I'm super smart and a deep thinker about video games' fame. I tweeted at him a song I made of Africa by Toto using only Yoshi noises and he also blocked me within 12 seconds.
Well, that was insufferable.
Quite, it's the opposite of the El-P one, he was the justified one.
Someone posted a quote from Limmy in response to one of my tweets, I said I had no idea what they were talking about, and they tagged Limmy. I was blocked before I even clicked on his profile.Originally Posted by phonics

Blocked for not knowing who the fanny is.
I enjoy Limmy's content but I have heard on good authority from good sources in Glasgow he is a cunt in real life.
Who is Limmy?
A Scottish streamer. Come on, even I know this.
In fairness who isn't.
Mildly depressing that he's a streamer first, these days.
He is that now but that's not why he's famous.
He didn't ask for an account of the battle of Bannockburn, he asked who Limmy is. Correct answers only.
I still don't really know, but at the time he had some kind of show on the BBC (3 or Alba, not one of the proper channels). I think he's basically a shite Karl Pilkington.
Hilarity.

I've heard 'the name' but would have probably guessed Linehan as it was mentioned in the context of someone being a mong on twitter.
I don’t think I’ll be watching any more of his stuff if that’s the standard.
This is how I'll justify my addiction to Trans porn from here on in.
The local Reform bloke just stuck his leaflet through the door. Three bulletpoints:
- Freeze immigration and STOP THE BOATS
- Scrap Net Zero to cut your energy bills
- Reduce waste and cut your taxes
Three things that distinctly seem impossible to do. Why would scrapping net zero lead to cheaper bills? Energy suppliers are private entities. Are you going to nationalise the energy sector, Nigel? Are you going to mine the channel? Reducing waste sounds like a green policy. How does that reduce taxes?
The leaflet ends on an incomplete sentence. "We take our county back, then our"
Have a word with the printers you used in Southend for that, Andrew Husband/Husband, Andrew.

It doesn't matter whether it does or doesn't or whether there's any logic, all that matters is morons like Giggles will vote for it and there are a lot of them.
They'll be as effective as this white fella clambering up Westminster with his little flag.
Rishi Sunak gave a great interview this week and the part about the PM - and government as a whole - lacking the power to get anything done was very interesting. Reform would have zero chance of making anything at all happen under the status quo, which is good, but pretty concerning on the whole, because the country needs lots of change, even if it isn't the change Reform want.
Illegal immigration is especially difficult to tackle because you have the most desperate people trekking across continental Europe. No deterrent is big enough to stop them and it has been going on for as long as people have been able to travel. You can't realistically imprison them. Deporting them is a long and stupid process. Even then, they'll be back again.
It's a long and stupid process because we have made it one.
Refugees aren't illegal.
Illegal immigrants aren't that desperate.
Also it's the legal immigrants that are the problem. Everything else is irrelevant.
Limmy is (was?) great but very inconsistent. His BBC Scotland sketch show has a solid hour or two of absolute GOLD, but then also a lot of patience testing wank - I guess that's partly the nature of sketch shows.
He's basically given up actually making stuff now, and just streams for a few hours a day on twitch. It's inconsistent like the sketch show, but it's much more pronounced. I have absolutely no idea how anyone can actually watch it live, cus he's constantly stopping what he's doing to thank people for subscribing/donating. I don't blame the cunt for doing it, but i don't wanna fucking watch it. Thankfully some mentalist has been making little highlight videos for years, some of them are pretty good.
The highlight channel must be unofficial because they once put some editing over his story about going to a festival with a lad from work who went on a bad trip after too many Garys and the editing was hilarious with disco lights and music between cuts, got taken down pretty swiftly though. Possibly because it was funnier than Limmy's original story.
Mark BoE Carney the new PM of Canada.
Can we nuke them?
Was it him who came out with the immortal idea that people should stop asking for pay rises? A true great if so.
No, that was Andrew Bailey. Not that you could slide a Rizla between any of the cunts.
Former Goldman Sachs executive the problem is you just aren't productive enough lets keep printing the money and holding interest rates at zero Mark Carney somehow being the good guy seems like the world is fully inverting on itself.
Oh Andrew Bailey is a 100 times more incompetent than Mark Carney ever was.
I don't know. Reddit seems to think that this Carney lad is the best economist to have ever walked the Earth and that he did an excellent job in England, so I will side with them.
I mean he did rightly say Brexit would be a fucking disaster but nobody listened to him.
I guess he understands country economies so he'll wipe the floor with the clown leading your circus.
He also sleep walked us into the nightmare what was keeping interest rates at 0% for absolutely no fucking reason.
Put them back down.
They can't unless you want 10% inflation again. Absolutely fucked it.
Hmm...can't afford any of the "not inflated" goods because my mortgage is so high...
Sort of seems like a meeting of the parliamentary labour party should include all members of the parliamentary labour party.
I suspect we are going to be in this ‘spikeflation’ cycle for quite a few more years I can easily see it going back over 5% this year if not higher, falling away and then having another cycle of higher inflation in 2027. That’s even if they don’t cut interest rates any further this year.
It cannot be underestimated how bad a decision it was to keep pumping money into the economy until late 2021 even though they could see inflation was already running wild.
No idea what the benefit cuts will bring but I would propose the following:
Bring back face to face assessments. Those observations are crucial to the process. We've been carrying out a small percentage since Covid and that really should be increased.
This is also interesting:
Yeah, I saw that yesterday [?] - isn't it to do with tax relief changes or something? Like you pay business rates instead of council tax or something mad if the property is unoccupied and stuff about debt interest?
Corporate landlords, ie really big ones like Blackrock, are definitely what is coming for the UK rental / property market, which can only be bad for most people.
Ed Sheeran has caught me off guard on that list.
Okay, so my main issue with the disability benefit reforms is how that encourages people to work.
These people speak their brains.
The first lass clearly has a job already and is using PIP to subsides the fact she has to deal with the costs of living near London. The second woman is a bit off-base with the mobility bit. You might drive him round but it's his claim. As for her surprise he took a top award, it's degenerative disease. The paperwork they provided would've directed the assessor to a top award.
PIP will never give you that. It's just money. I think there should be a signposting aspect to it but that's not going to bring down welfare costs.Tracy, 44, watched Liz Kendall's speech at a community café in Salford. She is unable to work after a brain injury.
"I would love to be back in work, but I would need the right support," she says.
