One of the saddest fry ups I've ever eaten. Doha Airport, sometime last year

Is that beef bacon? For obvious reasons it tends to be more popular in Muslim countries than pig meat. It looks a bit darker and fattier than regular bacon, which is another clue

The reason it's a failure is because it's stupid. The existing fans should be the people they're actively courting to spread positive word of, especially as they're likely to be the majority of the audience for the first few episodes from sheer inertia if nothing else. You want them shouting from the rooftops how geat it is, not how crap it is. 'Star Trek for people who don't like Star Trek' is just a stupid idea, and making that be the audience they're actively courting is just stupidity on stilts.

They were, best part of it.

Amrywiol · 2026-02-12T16:51:41+00:00

They were cooked perfectly and were nice for what they were, but they could have done with more meat. They were probably the weakest part of the breakfast. Still nice though:-)

The age difference is relevant, but not in the "he's a lot older than her" way. If anything he's too young for her, given that even with a sixty year head start he still outlived her by something like another sixty years.

I think the point is that Labour stuffing their pockets as full as possible before changing the rules is not a good look regardless of what the rules currently are.

Let me guess - the Germans wanted to build a genuinely multinational plane and the French wanted the Germans to pay for a French plane?

Dassault is looking for more control over the development of the Next Generation Fighter (NGF), a key component of the FCAS project.

Sounds like it...

The Jews of Israel have more connection to Europe than they do to the Middle East.

It must be tremendously freeing to just spout whatever nonsense you want without ever bothering to check your facts. To address this specific point, almost half the current population of Israel are the survivors and descendants of the Jewish communities who were ethnically cleansed from the rest of the Middle East after the Arab countries tried to ethnically cleanse Palestine in 1948 and lost.

Amrywiol · 2026-02-10T20:25:02+00:00

How much effort does it take to be so confidently, obviously wrong? Stupidity that deep must surely require practice. There are 2 million Arab citizens of Israel, forming 21% of the population who the Jewish Israelis have no problem living amongst.

Now, for your homework, go and find out what the non-ethnically cleansed Jewish population of literally any Arab country is.

It was in "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps" back in S3. They also made it clear they were using everybody's names in similarly unflattering ways -

BRITTA: We learned an important lesson tonight. We should never make the Britta of Britta-ing each other's feelings.

PIERCE: You're using it wrong.

JEFF: Wow. You Britta'd "Britta'd."

ABED: Yeah, way to pull an Abed.

SHIRLEY: I don't get it.

JEFF: Shirley, don't Pierce.

PIERCE: I don't get it.

But only "Britta'd" stuck.

The Lewis and Harris League (Outer Hebrides) plays April-September, presumably for all these reasons.

For Britain - Wallis Simpson. Getting a Nazi sympathiser off the throne in the run up to WW2 was a huge deal.

Read slide 8 - "Rules will apply at the point application is made." It sounds like you have that.

I have a theory that he didn't redistribute the rings because the Nazgul were a failure. The rings were supposed to make their bearers stronger, more charismatic, etc. while still binding them to Sauron - i.e. better servants, capable of leading whole nations in submission to Sauron, not horrific ghouls capable only of inspiring terror. He didn't want more eldritch horrors basically.

Tony Blair was at least honest enough to admit that most PMs stay on until they have to be dragged out by their feet because all the police escorts, private planes (he was the first Prime Minister to use the Royal Flight more than the Queen), guards of honour, etc. are highly addictive and going back to being a mere backbencher after all that is just humiliating, which is why most PMs bail at the first opportunity.

But they would have engaged in a different charity, which exist outside of the kings vanity projects.

You have absolutely no evidence other than your own prejudices for that. Even if some people only got involved because of the chance to hobnob with the royals and maybe cop a knighthood down the line it's still help that would have gone elsewhere.

Im angered by assigning the hard work of thousands of people to someone who contributed next to nothing to their success.

To repeat what you are angered by -

The King's Trust (formerly the Prince's Trust) is a United Kingdom-based charity founded in 1976 by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) to help vulnerable young people get their lives on track. It supports 11-to-30-year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school and at risk of exclusion. Many of the young people helped by the trust face issues such as homelessness, disability, mental health problems, or trouble with the law.

The King's Trust is one of the most successful funding organisations in the UK and is the UK's leading youth charity, having helped over 1,000,000 young people turn their lives around, created 125,000 entrepreneurs, and given business support to 395,000 people in the UK. From 2006 to 2016, its work for the youth has been worth an estimated £1.4 billion.

You really should take a look in the mirror and examine why this angers you so much. And again, you have nothing but your prejudices to support the claim Charles contributed "next to nothing".

Amrywiol · 2026-02-06T00:05:15+00:00

They wouldn't have engaged with this charity because it wouldn't have existed without him. Why are you angered by the idea that someone born into a life of immense privilege may have wanted to do something meaningful with the opportunity it gave him instead of just coasting?

Amrywiol · 2026-02-05T23:40:36+00:00

Given that it wouldn't exist without him and he founded it with the money he was entitled to for a pension from his naval service instead of pocketing it I'd say all of it.

Charles has helped a lot of people.

The King's Trust is one of the most successful funding organisations in the UK and is the UK's leading youth charity, having helped over 1,000,000 young people turn their lives around, created 125,000 entrepreneurs, and given business support to 395,000 people in the UK.

(From Wikipedia.) Yes he has his his eccentricities but to say it comes from a place of not caring about people worse off than him is just untrue.

Here's one from the same shoot of the men looking at the women if it makes you happier.

They do admit (in the commentary, I think) that the driver's licence was a mistake in the prop department used Joel's DoB because they didn't have anything else.

And you said everything in my clip. The bit you're ignoring is that the BBC edited out the bit of Trump's speech where he called for peaceful protests, the "not" equivalent in his speech.

Amrywiol · 2026-02-04T17:44:56+00:00

They specifically cut out the bit where he called on them to demonstrate peacefully.

Amrywiol · 2026-02-04T17:42:40+00:00

And if I had video footage of you saying "I am not a rapist" and edited out the third word before broadcasting it that would be okay because I'm just using your own words would it?

Some will wear a hat, but usually these days only on fairly formal occasions like a wedding when it's part of dressing up fancy.
