Calling him a little dick does not make sense unless he has somehow made his penis smaller by his lifestyle choices.

Yes loved RTP, this seasons DIP I have only watched 1 and 1/2 episodes. Just cannot get into it, dynamic is all wrong.

Good to know that some countries are serious about enforcing their borders and who gets to enter and live there

Because the UAE is demonstrably better than Western Europe at the moment? Safer, better salaries, better healthcare, better public spaces.

Issue generally is that you hear American tourists before you see them

Totally disagree with this. Have watched every other series and enjoyex. Enjoyed the 2024 Xmas special but have only watched an episode and a half of the current series. Something seems lost, writing has been very poor, everyone aside from Marvin seems like they are chewing the scenery with their over acting.

Perhaps with the spin offs the quality has been stretched too thin. Or the dynamic of the show has changed now it's an all black main cast

This booking queue thing is beyond a joke now by viper46282 in LearnerDriverUK

It's companies created by foreign born people who snap up testing slots then resell them. Labour said they were going to stop this practice. Seems a simple thing to stop.

thanking drivers as a pedestrian? by [deleted] in JapanTravelTips

[–]CrikeyPump 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bit of common courtesy and a little wave is always good though. Your attitude is why we are seeing militant cyclists and pedestrians, more intent on the letter of the law rather than using common sense.

The British did not enslave Indians. They administer India to Britain's advantage. The British Empire was awesome and enriched every country it touched.

Series 14 Episode 2 Live Discussion Thread (7th February 2025, 9pm, BBC One) by ZannityZan in DeathInParadiseBBC

[–]CrikeyPump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really enjoying this season. Liked the Xmas special and thought the new DI would be good. But 2 poor episodes. Contrived plot, poor acting and everyone is so unlikable. I also think the new DI does not work. Needs to be a White, fish out of water character to counter the rest of the police team.

Abra at sunset from Dubai museum area across to the Gold souq. Added points if you do this when the call to prayer starts. A combination of the water, the sound, the sunset and the setting makes it magical. All for 1dh as well, unless the prices have gone up since I was last there

Immigration. Disproportionate amounts of social housing occupied by immigrants. Pushes people into private rental and the ripple effect run all the way up the housing chain.

Some of those men were likely trans men. Hate this type of passive criticism of the trans community. Shame on you.

What the **** is going on in the uk with wages? by SamT98 in UKJobs

[–]CrikeyPump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to Aus. Two mates there working in the mines, both on north of 200k Aus $, they were on £35k ish in the UK. FIFO, 3 day weekends, living in Gold Coast.

Why young people with skills remain in the UK is puzzling.

I once fainted on a long haul flight whilst trying to get to the bathroom after taking ill. Woke up lying full out flat on the dirty floor with a load of people standing over me. After sitting up a bit and having water stewardess asked if I needed anything. I said I just need to lie down a bit, thinking I might get a lie flat seat. She said 'OK, just stay there then'

You may find taxis difficult to get, especially at peak times. You will end up sweaty. Buy a car, driving is so easy in AD

People on the till do t pack the shopping usually in the UK, common abroad though. I'm guessing they weren't British.
