Lego is a tricky one as it's obviously great. Doesn't the lego movie itself address the perils of AFoLism with Will Ferrell's (?) character, who builds his lego city with glue and won't let his kids play with it? The main problem adult fandom has actually created is that it has emboldened the Danes to push the prices of everything through the roof. I think as long as you can still enjoy it as a toy, and not as some sort of collectible you're on decent ground.
The WWE thread basically lives at the top of this site.
Come at me bros

Lego stopped when it went away from this and focused on the cash-in sets where you just made the photo on the box instead of a child having an imagination.
Nah, I like the cash-in sets. Well, at least that F1 one.
The Lego Staunch Box.

The wrestling is one I'll never understand. I can get why people watch it in the same sense as people will watch Eastenders or something, but grown adults still talking about it like it's a sport is really odd.
Props to Boydy for sending me the photo.
I thought that everyone treated it like a soap opera now. When I go into the thread, everyone is talking about 'the bookings' as opposed to the fights themselves.
My grandad is in the early stages of dementia, but he never informed the DVLA and refused to stop driving. My nan, who has been getting increasingly terrified by his erratic driving, tipped the DVLA off and convinced him that the doctor must have done it. They made him do some renewed licence assessment, and he only went and passed it.
Donned.
Didn't some of you fail like five times?
I passed first time but I do know someone that failed pulling out of the test centre.
Doesn't look like it's the same as the initial driving test you do to get your license.
(I failed once and on a bullshit reason).
Got the spuds planted today so the back is broke. Should be before the 17th but I think we’ll be grand. Carrots and onions are in too. Garlic in April.
Had a really productive day today. Started with checking out the US Pampanito and the Jeremiah O'Brien. The latter is a WW2 ship with a working engine. They let the punters check it out and it's cool to see the pistons all moving. Then I walked into the arcade next door. I was surprised how many machines they had in there.
Lastly, I visited Fort Point. Not a lot there but it's nice to see it just under the bridge. You may remember it as Jizzy's strip club from GTA San Andreas
I also feel like I've got covid.

There's a new Chris Chan documentary to watch when you get home.

That's just what I need for my hungover idiot Sunday morning, thanks @Baz.
Had a pretty good time down south - my mates surprise engagement party on Friday was good, I was worried it was just gonna be me and loads of his missuses posh mates, but I got to hang out all evening with one of his really sound, quiet mates I'd gone camping with and said mate's really intense and batshit Estonian girlfriend. Once she'd had a few drinks and stopped being really awkward, I also got to hang out with this posh girl I'd shagged a few years back. I don't blame her for the awkwardness though - she lives in NYC, and understandably assumed she probably wouldn't ever meet me again, and when id returned from the walk of shame at 9am that morning in 2018, expecting to get to tell all the sordid details, they already knew them. "What the fuck Igor, you put your tongue up her arse?!" was a question i didn't really know how to answer.
We went to Whitstable yesterday, which was alright I suppose, but I spent most of the day hanging out my arse and thinking I was gonna shit myself.
I'm 30 on Sunday. Fucking hell. Going to get pissed in the sun all day tomorrow.
Happy bidet.
Met Spoonsky today for breakfast. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years and he’s still 13.
That sounds like a court defence.
He came on to me.
Went out to play five a side at six last night. Usually have a couple of pints afterwards. Hadn't considered that everyone has tomorrow off. The dawn chorus is rather lovely on ketamine.
Double-header Asian Champions League tomorrow night.
HAGL v Yokohama F Marinos followed by Jeonbuk v Sydney FC, at a sold-out Thong Nhat. Live football is back
Ryo Miyaichi and Adam Le Fondre on the same night.
Some lad we know is on a mini-tour with his SLUDGE METAL band. Was playing Birmingham last night so three of us turned up unannounced. Was actually a very fun evening, even though metal is v much outside of my usual wheelhouse. Felt bad for him tho, 4 acts on the bill, they were second last, but the band before then were local and it seemed like they'd brought about 25 of their mates who immediately left after they'd finished.
This left an audience of us three, my mate's very confused, very middle aged parents, and about 5 metalheads.
This is their latest release GOAT BONG, which i think is a real bopper.
according to instagram, JordInc got up to getting married this weekend
If that’s not just an old name for James then it’s a new one on me.
JordInc
He never did get to Toronto like he promised. Twat.
TTH Glory Years Reunion. Googles Toby. Forget it.
They’ll have to find me on Reddit first.

I went to a deer park with some colleagues and my other mate today, it was nice.
Shooting?
During my pretty crappy trip to London, I did experience some brilliant public transport nonsense. Some homeless woman in my carriage (Victoria to East Croydon) started doing a big speech begging for stuff, not just going person to person, it was like the kind of performance shit, "RIGHT GUYS, I'M 5 YEARS HOMELESS, IF YOU CAN SPARE SOME FOOD, DRINK, TOILET PAPER, CASH" etc etc, it was very well rehearsed. There was a table of 2 lads who'd been to the rugby and two American tourists loudly chatting, and she came over and told them off
Proper "LISTEN GUYS, JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE YEAH, THIS IS VERY RUDE, YOU'RE INTERRUPTING ME". They didn't give her any grief, just sat in incredulous silence. She started her speech again, and within about 15 seconds, some bloke down the other end of the carriage starting loudly playing Ring of Fire on his acoustic guitar. This wasn't even just some random lad doing a cover version, he seemed like a borderline Johnny Cash impersonator - had all the mannerisms, and even spoke like him introducing the song. Absolutely class, shame the date was shit really.
Poor effort.
I saw Stewart Lee in Reading weekend just gone. I preferred Tornado to Snowflake, but it was absolutely hilarious all round.
First half good second half meh (for his Guardian audience).
I was in London today, and a lot of the 'homeless' men had no shoes on. Plus they all had the same sign in the same writing. Imagine falling for that.
How does that work then? I know fake homeless people are a thing, but why are they all kitted out the same? Is it an organised thing?
It must be. They weren't all wearing the exact same thing, but where have all their shoes gone as soon as the weather comes out?
Home alone for the weekend
I am in London again and the shoeless massive have spread out from their previous locations. I should inform the mayor.
He's just got back from Los Angeles. He should know what homeless people look like now.
That age old question that has been asked many times here - indian, chippers, or Chinese?
Get a side of chips with an Indian or Chinese.
That’s a given.
I'd go chippy, unless you're looking at some sort of left-overs driven over ordering.
That’s exactly what I’ve done. Got kebab shop and got enough to chuck in the air fryer tomorrow. €47
On a second look, we’ve no proper chippers around here.
