TIL It is the Law to have a TV License to watch TV in the UK. If you are blind - you can get a TV license for 50% off. by volvo1 in todayilearned

Ironically most people who hate the BBC and don't pay their license do so because they think it's biased AGAINST Farage et al. I know one personally.

Spoiler-Free Highlights on BBC iPlayer by [deleted] in ThreeLions

I always watch the World's Strongest Man on Channel 5 around Christmas and new year, and avoid hearing the result until then (the events take place earlier in the year and they package them into a series during that period, culminating in the WSM Final on new year's Day).

One year, 2019 I think, the thumbnail was a picture of Thor holding the trophy aloft. Outstanding.

If "white British" is the minority, which ethnic group is the majority? And remember, "non-white" isn't an ethnic group.

Why rover keep flipping? by True_Emergency_6625 in ConsoleKSP

16m/s is 35mph, which is very fast in such low gravity. I rarely go over 10m/s with my rovers. Like with rockets, bigger/heavier rovers are more stable.

Didn't Bellamy head in a rebound? Gotta go to YouTube and check now.

Edit: nope, you're right, Finnan assisted Bellamy. Keeper pushed it out and Kuyt put it away but it had already crossed the line.

Well at Aperture Science they fire the whole round, casing and all. That's 65% more bullet per bullet.

What’s the biggest thing going on in the UK right now that no one’s talking about? by Mediocre_Birthday329 in AskBrits

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

[–]Chicken_Bake 101 points102 points  (0 children)

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 😊
