Should copyright for works that old be expired? Yes!

In the actual world we live in, was this guy ever going to avoid being sued so hard that his grandchildren will be embarrassed for him? No!

You've got to admire the lemming-like devotion to the legal cliff he threw himself off though. Writing a sequel to not only a copyright work, but one that is still in the cultural zeitgeist thanks to a 20-year old wildly successful series of films? Ballsy. Subsequently suing one of the largest companies in the world and the estate that produced the original works as infringing his copyright?

Chutzpa, I believe the term is.

So they shut down the fan remaster because there’s an official remake, then that gets canned?

Bastards.

Ah yes, the Youngling Slayer 9000...

Andrew Fucking Wakefield can never suffer enough for everything he’s responsible for

If we cap overdraft fees, how will banks make up the lost revenue?

Get in the fucking sea.

I've seen a story where one of the faire participants had a commbadge hidden in their costume, pulled the Trekkie to one side, showed it to them, then told them off for breaking the Prime Directive...

Hah. To swap eSIM on O2 in the UK, you have to order a physical pack that gets posted to you with the QR code in. There is no way to get the code to appear on a screen you can scan with your camera, or in an app on the phone you can transfer to the phone's eSIM manager. It's so dumb.

While true, the Tory party that won the last election looks a bit different to the gobshites that are in government now.

Don't get me wrong, I thought the last lot were assholes as well, but while technically legal, swapping out basically all of the government several times seems like a bit of a bait and switch.

Andrew Wakefield should be in prison for the rest of his life.

More likely the D&D/fantasy version. Harry Potter called them “horcruxes”. Keep your soul in a box and whatever happens to your body, you can’t truly die.

But I didn’t know they were based on Jewish mythology, so thanks for that TIL!

So you're saying... only a clanker can call another clanker 'clanker'?

The song goes “We wish you a merry Christmas”, so that’ll always be there for as long as the song is popular.

Plus (also because of the song, I assume), you say “merry Christmas and a happy new year”, not “happy Christmas and a happy new year”. Too much happy there.

Wasn't he the one that insisted on the "I can oust you whenever I want" provision in the first place? It would have been more surprising if he hadn't done it...

Of course, if it doesn't happen, that's simply more proof that we're actually living in the mirror universe (AKA 'the worst timeline')

Not sure I’ve ever even met anyone who’d care if Northern Ireland split off. Maybe some Rangers fans?

There were literally decades of violence and terrorism over that, so clearly someone cares.

That being said, But then I'm Welsh and live in England, I do not have a horse in this race. If the people in NI want to unify with Ireland and regain all their EU citizenship benefits as well as removing the whole "Northern Ireland border issue", then I wouldn't blame them at all.

Maybe I should at least reserve my real name on it…

*gets asked for mobile number

Nope, don’t care that much.

I was going to tell you a time travel joke, but you didn't like it.

WHAT! Is your name?

WHAT! Is your quest?

WHERE! Is my breakfast, Karen? I jumped on your bed an hour ago.

What really irritated me was why the heck did he write the part

For Stephen King, the answer is always 'drugs. Lots of drugs'
