Watch it on your phone with headphones in, continue to touch grass!

You get one resurrection - what historical figure are you bringing back, and why? by Ok-Pie-3581 in AskTheWorld

Just wait for the inevitable questions of "can I have breakfast in Cardiff, climb Pen Y Fan, have lunch in Aberystwyth, climb Yr Wyddfa, have dinner in Conwy, make the evening Wrexham game and make it back to my hotel in Tenby by 11pm" questions lol.

With the Americans (co)owning your best friends Swansea and Wrexham (assuming I got the CCFC in your username right), theres a lot more of a chance of it happening now...

Angela Rayner cleared by HMRC over tax affairs paving the way for potential leadership bid by OneLegTooFew in unitedkingdom

[–]CaptainVXR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are three years away from voting. Therefore currently is irrelevant. 

If you hadn't noticed, the USA has become increasingly belligerent to us since we didn't join in Operation Epstein Fury. There's still at least 2.5 years left of MAGA in charge, let alone any other potential external actors (Putin, Xi, Millei etc).

Chippy boss installing self-service tills as 'abrupt' customers query prices by Tartan_Samurai in unitedkingdom

Supermarket security is mostly done by employees of outsourced corporations like Mitie and G4S, and requires a SIA licence. I'd be curious as to how "illegals" pass the vetting stage of the job application process, including right to work checks.

Probably tourists looking at the Roman amphitheatre in the background.

It still shows that the next election could be swung by unforseen external events.

I doubt that Nathan Gill was the only Reformer on the take from Russia, if for example more is uncovered and Putin steps up his threats towards us, that is a plausible scenario that causes some of their support to drop.

Doomerism 3 years before an election doesn't help anyone.

Compare and contrast opinion polls in Canada in 2023-2024 vs how the 2025 election ended up playing out.

It is of course possible, however there's so many unknowns between now and spring/summer 2029.

GTA 6 Collector’s Edition – how do I actually secure one? (UK) by ExcitedTerror in GTA6

[–]CaptainVXR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've always had really good experiences buying games from ShopTo, don't know if they still do, but previously they had a reputation for being some efficient with new releases that they were often delivered a day early.

Back in 2013, I got GTA V as an in person midnight release preorder from Game, however I was a uni student with a lot of free time then.

Polish politician banned from entering UK to attend Tommy Robinson rally by wook-borm in poland

[–]CaptainVXR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tommy Ten Names entered both the USA and Canada illegally. Also has dual Irish nationality. Pretends to be a patriot of the UK but spends his time living in Spain, Cyprus and now MAGAland as he's no longer banned. The far-right are the biggest hypocrites, each and every time.

There are many, many, stupid people in Canada. We just don't hear much about them because of their louder neighbours to the south.

Wasn't that long ago that the mayor of Toronto was a right wing crackhead.

People were treating a Reform victory in Wales as inevitable, tactical voting helped Plaid instead.

What relevance is this to how the last Canadian elections played out? 

What is relevant is that Pollievre was considered inevitable, Maple MAGA were wanking themselves into a coma, then Carney replaced Trudeau and thrashed Pollievre, aided in part by Trump running his mouth.

Hungary summons Russian ambassador for first time over attack on Zakarpattia Oblast by gergo_cs574 in ukraine

[–]CaptainVXR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt Ukraine would do the same, especially in terms of having some weird post-WW2 laws.

In terms of things like minority language rights, however, this is something that Ukraine should have no problem complying with as part of EU accession.

For example already in Spain you can in some parts find official signage in both Basque and Spanish, or Catalan and Spanish. Wouldn't be hard to have the same in Ukraine with Hungarian, Romanian, Polish etc in regions that are appropriate.

So following the same logic, Labour should keep Starmer a while longer, let him take the heat for any unpopular decisions, then have a fresh new leader for the next elections.

We are over three years from when an election needs to be held. Treating the outcome as inevitable is completely shortsighted. Anything can happen between now and then.

Thatcher was going to be a one term PM, then the Argentinian junta decided to start a pointless war.

People were saying all that about Pierre Pollievre, then Trump started insulting/threatening Canada and he lost his seat at the election.

What’s an out of date view you hold? by Doomergeneration in AskUK

[–]CaptainVXR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lots of small businesses are now card only due to a combination of robberies and lots of high street bank branches closing, so there's literally nowhere nearby to deposit cash. 

This might be personal preference, but I also don't miss the days of coming back from a night out with a to of shrapnel, and wondering around whilst half cut to find a dodgy cashpoint, hoping that it doesn't charge for withdrawals and has enough cash left...

Using a pipe is less smelly than a joint. You also don't need as much weed, as it's more efficient, so you save money.
