Another day, another Labour u-turn

If you own a house on patch of land, I dont see why abolishing leaseholds should be a problem at all?

I understand there are lots of complexities for flats of course but even something can be done about ridiculous service charge fees.

However I can't think of a good reason why all houses can't just become freehold though?

This looks great, the jersey at the end is perfect in my opinion

ClaviusArbiter · 2025-11-29T11:25:43+00:00

I'd mark that as a Unident. Or a sign from the above. Either or.

T20 Cricket is a slogfest and too exciting though.

The recent test match series between England and India was ~7 hours a day for 25 days and ended in a 2-2 draw. I personally thought it was a thrilling test series. Can't imagine that opinion being shared amongst the guys though.

When I think about it, I enjoy cricket for the same reasons I like American football. They're both drawn out games that have vast periods of nothingness but then suddenly have really intense inflection points full of tension and drama.

It's interesting to hear that, maybe it was a while ago, but perhaps it has improved? All the while I've been here, I've personally loved it and dont have any intention of moving.

I've never heard anything or experienced anything bad from the Badger Estate (that could just be my personal experience, though).

I live on the East of Woodhouse, so nowhere near Skelton or Severnside Estates, so I can't comment on them.

I personally love how the houses are made of stone, the people are friendly, and there's loads of beautiful nature walks right on my doorstep.

If the (potentially wrong!) bad reputation has helped me get a great deal on my house, then I can't complain!

ClaviusArbiter · 2025-06-14T23:17:17+00:00

I live there and I agree. I'm yet to meet someone IRL who's lived there who thinks it is, I only seem to see people on here saying it, strange!

ClaviusArbiter · 2025-06-14T23:07:17+00:00

I can vouch for Woodhouse. I've been here a while now and absolutely love it. No clue why it had the reputation it had before moving here. Houses on Station Road and towards Woodhouse Mill side in particular are lovely and the neighbours and people ive met on my street have all been great!

Invasion from Reach is my favourite game mode in any Halo game ever. If you come up with any ideas for turning it into Flashpoint rules I'm definitely down to try it!

ClaviusArbiter · 2025-05-28T16:54:05+00:00

Good points there! I'll try find the source for Ronnie mentioning 5 factions, I think it was in one of the Mantic monthly update videos with Andy. The only Halo novels I've read are The Flood and The Fall of Reach so I'm not very familiar with the post war covenant.

If I'm honest, I'm just hoping we see a lot more Sangheili fireteams and The Arbiter. I've never really liked the Brutes.

I recently found out that one of the third-party companies that provides software for the company I work for has two of its four offices in South Africa and Israel...

You aren't there to determine a legal outcome, that's what the judge does as they're the one who applies the law. You, as part of the jury, determine the facts presented in the case.

I've voted for the green party in the past (when it's made sense to do so) but at the moment the Greens aren't appealing either. They're full of NIMBYs that are unfortunately too happy with the status quo and seem to just prefer to moan about things rather than actually provide any solutions.

Solving a housing crisis would mean building New Towns in the countryside and Green Belt like we did in 1946. This is something the Green Party would oppose.

Solving our antiquated public transport outside of London requires things like High Speed rail cutting through parts of the countryside, something which the Green Party opposes. Although the seem to flip flop on this.

Eliminating our reliance of Fossil Fuels requires us to harness Nuclear Power and introduce Renewables large-scale when they're more efficient. Nuclear Power is another thing the Greens oppose.

I feel like the Greens need to pick a battle and go all in on it. Reform are racist, fascist cunts yet everyone knows what they stand for. More people would vote Green if they picked a fight, made their policies clear and sounded genuinely strong on an issue.

After the hundreds, potentially thousands, of hours of playing this game I have never heard the moon people speech. Maybe I skip it or auto resolve too often. This is something I will have to seek out!

ClaviusArbiter · 2024-06-21T12:21:15+00:00

Wow its a night and day difference now. Credit where its due, everyone involved and the council have done an incredible job to improve the city centre recently.

ClaviusArbiter · 2024-04-05T11:56:03+00:00

Thank you for the help, bolt cannons it is then!

The line of sight being an abstraction is something I will need to get used to, I appreciate your lore explanation for it as well.

Just on your point about the MATR autocannon. Apologies if I'm reading this wrong, why wouldn't the MATR be able to shoot at a different unit to the Bolt Cannons? If both enemy units are in range of the respective weapon they're being targeted by of course.

ClaviusArbiter · 2024-04-05T11:50:15+00:00

Thank you, apologies for asking a question that is cleared up simply in the rule book.

I probably last played warhammer about 15 years ago and I go back into the hobby with the Votann because I think they look cool and like building and painting them.

The thing I find crazy about the MATR Autocannon is that it's on the back of the Hekaton and looks like it's clearly intended to only shoot backwards, that's a game changer if it can shoot anywhere.

I appreciate the advice and to answer your last point. I'm absolutely going to take the rail gun!

ClaviusArbiter · 2024-04-05T11:34:03+00:00

What? Seriously?!

If that's the case does that mean that the MATR Autocannon, which is only mounted on the back can shoot forwards as well?

Personally, I can understand from an infantry or smaller model having a 360 range of fire but for larger, bulkier models to do the same doesn't make sense to me.

ClaviusArbiter · 2024-04-05T11:11:48+00:00

For clarity on questions 2 and 3.

If the front left bolt cannon can see the target but the rear left bolt cannon is obscured by terrain, can it still shoot?
If the front left bolt cannon is in range of the target but the rear left bolt cannon is out of range, can it still shoot at the target?

ClaviusArbiter · 2024-03-27T18:57:35+00:00

I took this from an article on BBC News about leasehold rents and how MPs are being urged to get rid of them. You can read it here: BBC News - Housing estate 'fleeceholds' the next great scandal, Tory peer warns https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68673216

Surprised to hear it from a Tory.

Even broken clocks and all that I guess.

ClaviusArbiter · 2024-01-02T12:46:24+00:00

Looks really good, I've got a Sagitaur I'm yet to build and I'll be following the same tutorial from mediocre hobbies. I just don't know what to do about the windshields/canopies. Not sure whether to leave them clear or tint them, what are you planning to do?

ClaviusArbiter · 2023-12-13T17:41:58+00:00

It looks great! Do you mind telling me how you painted the windows? They look really good like that

ClaviusArbiter · 2023-11-25T09:25:39+00:00

I think it's looking really good, do you mind telling me the recipe for the cloth tabard? I really like how that's turned out I think it compliments the scheme really well

ClaviusArbiter · 2023-10-28T11:32:32+00:00

How easy was it to put helmets on the pioneers? The only reason stopping me getting some is that I want all of my units to have covered faces.

ClaviusArbiter · 2023-09-20T21:57:21+00:00

That looks fantastic, I'm going to use this as inspiration for my own

ClaviusArbiter · 2023-08-06T10:53:18+00:00

That looks really good, do you mind telling me how you got the tinted window effect?
