@Thrillho That’s a lot of butchers for a small town! I wish we still had local businesses like that near me, the fishmongers and the butchers and such all closed down a few years back, with Costa opening up and pushing out the local cafes too. So we basically have a Costa and then bookies as far as the eye can see 😂

@nessisonett Vape shops galore where I live!

Tough break for your mum though. Hope she finds something soon. I took a couple of months off from the grind when I got made redundant years ago.

@nessisonett what, no fried chicken shop between the bookies, Costa, and BHF shop?

But ours is really good. Loads of decent places for food and some great bars, plus a fantastic record shop that puts gigs on too. We even had Damon Albarn playing in the church around the corner from me recently!

@Thrillho So you basically live in one of those fantasy English villages from American movies 😂

@nessisonett sorry to hear that mate, hope she gets back on her feet soon

@LN78 There are three hairdressers in the little high street where I live, all next to each other. There is also a Post Office and a Co-op!

@LN78 Hmmmm, not seen that in yonks so don't quite get the reference.

There are also 3 Indian takeaways. Good job I like a good curry!

@LN78 Ah gotcha.

Yeah same. Not been to a hairdresser since I decided to shave the ol bonce.

@nessisonett Ha, we’re a town though thank you. It’s got a reputation for being quite artsy/bohemian so I think a Costa or Starbucks would be run out of town.

The locals here were anti 5G before it was popular but thankfully it didn’t extend to noticeable anti Covid mentality outside of a small group.

@LN78 🤣 nah it’s Jim Ryan’s head photoshopped on a victorious John Cena. It made me chuckle every time I saw it around the interwebz… and what with all the incredible financials posted last week it just felt appropriate.

@LN78 he’s a smidge less buff that Cena in his pomp like… but that’s basically him 😉

@LN78 aye… everyone loves Phil though, this image tickles me due to creepy uncle Jim being so universally loathed 🤣

This is amazing.

@Thrillho haha very good. And very well made, too. That would have cost millions 30 years ago.

@Thrillho That is superb, love it.

Edit: Thanks for helping me stumble onto Frank Drebin in Detroit Become Human too.

Some amazing skills there, must require a lot of patience putting it all together.

@colonelkilgore Isn't it supposed to be Crying Jim Ryan, and not Flying?

@JohnnyShoulder flying Jim Ryan delivering the PlayStations elbow!

@JohnnyShoulder well he was actually lying far before he was crying… so I just thought that what with last quarters financials just crushing it, that a more positive spin on the whole …ying thing might be appropriate for once. Obviously there’s the whole wrasslin’ parlance too… keeping it all congruent and such with the imagery.

Double-obvs I still conclude with the obligatory #jimryanout though of course

@MightyDemon82 After reading the reply from @colonelkilgore, I come over all feint and forget what I originally asked. 😂
