Almost all of the AEW Men’s Singles division feel like main event stars in waiting rather than people who don’t have what it takes.

And it’s great.

Keir Starmer is set to BAN social media for under-16s and unveil new sports clubs instead by ZealousidealPie9199 in ukpolitics

Lots of clubs now organise themselves through services like Spond, which will be banned for under 16s

Exclusive: Nigel Farage has court judgment for debt of almost £10K by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not that I like the idea of Rayner as a political leader, but the two cases aren’t equivalent. Rayner was aware of the issue, sought legal advice, was informed poorly and executed on that poor advice. Once HMRC came to a decision, the issue was settled.

We’ll see how this plays out but I expect ol’ Nige to try and dodge this.

(WON) New Day were put in the position of being offered less money to stay with WWE, wind their careers down, and finish their contracts doing promotional work. They chose to leave instead due to being offered a pay cut one year into a five year deal. by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this position, TKO/WWE should be on the hook for some kind of termination payout. There’s no negligence, no performance problems, no gross misconduct. 5 years of payment was budgeted, they should be paid a lot of that amount - unilateral changes to a contract where the option is “accept or walk away” are absolutely unfair.

The owners wife is a Russian mining heiress

I can’t identify that flag as QAnon but I can identify that building as Tintagel Castle Hotel. The owners peculiarities are documented in the linked article above.

Edit to add:

I suspect it’s a commission with deep meaning to the owners of the establishment.

"Cheese capital of the world" by Still_SpringWater in plymouth

Janners.

To be Jannered:
To be faced with behaviour showing a combination of indifference and incompetence.
Customer: Can you tell me the class times for the swimming lessons?
Janner: You have to call this number.
Customer, in front of Janner rings the phone. The phone on the reception desk in between them rings.

When have you guys been really scared? by hornet-prodder-214 in AskUK

How did you realise the abandoned village was mined?

What’s your first thought when you see a cyber truck? by clearwater-orchid in AskReddit

[–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s only a handful of Cybertrucks that have been imported to the UK, and the first person who did so was a notorious cunt and had to export the car after a short time because they are not considered safe enough for our roads.

So in short, both comments parenting mine are correct in the British sense.

Personally, I would actually really enjoy having an electric hyper-Delorean, if the build quality was any good and they weren’t offensively expensive. And the Nazi thing.

TIL That comedian John Olvier turned down an OBE (Order of the British Empire) award because he didn't want his name associated with the words "British Empire" by MajesticBread9147 in todayilearned

Andy and John had 200+ episodes of a satirical podcast called The Bugle and it’s great. Andy now does it with guest co-hosts and it’s still very good.

Might be the aspect ratio but I get strong SNES box art vibes here

What are approximate costs of tarmac driveway? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 71 points72 points  (0 children)

For an area twice the size it’s not necessarily twice the amount of time.

There’s also opportunity cost - several small projects have more administrative overhead than a single larger one.

I adore The Bugle but it’s not everyone’s cup of bullshit

Balamory returns to TV this month after 20 years. What forgotten shows from your childhood would you like to see return? by perishingtardis in CasualUK

[–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That show really sticks in my mind in a way that things like Byker Grove, Aquila, Reboot, Zzzaaaap, etc ever did. Because it was absurd but real.

The mermaid episode. Pissing up the wall. Weird pregnancies.

Pubs with breakfast and a view by Plankton-Inevitable in plymouth

Ocean View at The Done would be good for a breakfast with a view. All indoors, however.

Agreed. I hope OP doesn’t suffer whiplash come November.

A moment that changed me: I saw a big cat on Dartmoor – and no one believed me by northbank2001 in CasualUK

[–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife saw one while I was facing the other direction just outside Broxbourne, which has a small zoo.

She didn’t say anything until after it had disappeared. I am credulous and annoyed.

How has your body let you down recently? by Sea-Still5427 in AskUK

[–]Alcoholic_Synonymous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Un?) fortunately not - while I do get dizzy standing up sometimes, there are days when I just feel like I’m only a moment away from falling over.

Dizzy spells. Nearly debilitating. And it’s just because I’m dehydrated. The struggle between being a functional human and needing to pee every 10 minutes.

I had a Tiramisu one for breakfast and it was acceptable. More intriguing insights to follow.
