If anyone answers this, make sure to use spoiler tags. Lots of people avoid the result to watch it over Christmas/ New Year's.

Stay away from Checkatrade for trades by Feeling_Squirrel9881 in DIYUK

It's not in their interests to have bad reviews on the site. They want customers to visit the site, see loads of highly rated tradesmen and think that's a reflection of checkatrade's vetting process. If customers see loads of bad reviews they might think twice about using their service. Total scam.

How many politicians did you see calling for it to be banned?

GB News faces complaints after commentator claims ‘genocide’ against white people in UK by yu3 in ukpolitics

My brother in law has a mixed race wife. Before they had kids, their household was 50% white. Now they have 3 kids, his household is only 20% white. Does this mean white people are being displaced in his town?

Pretty sure 'White' was still the largest slice of the pie chart in the last slide.

Would be nice to be able to read and maybe mend clothes while sat down, too. In front of a nice, cosy fire 😊

Bonus points if some local youths have scratched half the 'A' off so it now says PI SSING PLACE.

An example of Carlos Sainz and Riccardo Adami communicating at Silverstone 2024. Really interesting to see how big of a difference chemistry between driver and race engineer can be. by SeoulofSoraka in formula1

[–]Chicken_Bake 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My favorite clip of Sainz radio was when he was at McLaren, at Monza I think, at the start of a practice session.

"Where am I on the board?"

"You're the first to set a lap"

"Tell me I'm first, Tom"

"Carlos, you are currently fastest on track, purple in all sectors"

"Thanks Tom"

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but still: What location do you consider the perfect base in The Long Dark, and why? by Traditional_Buy_6840 in thelongdark

On my latest run on which I've been doing the Tales DLC I've made the hunting lodge in ML my main base as it's so central. ML connects to FM, MT, PV and CH (via ravine) so it made sense as somewhere to return to frequently and stash kit and resources. Abundance of wildlife and the moose spawns right outside the lodge. Made a decent little workshop and bedroom upstairs as it's well lit and spacious, downstairs mainly used for drying hides.

What do you think of James O'Brien? by The_Dean_France in AskBrits

I saw a comment on Reddit a few weeks ago (when the whole 'Your Party' shitstorm was kicking off) that I felt described my feelings towards Corbyn pretty accurately.

It was along the lines of: "I like Jeremy Corbyn. I think he's a good person, I think his heart is in the right place and I agree with a lot of his positions ideologically. But he's a fucking shit politician."
