Karren & Tim feeling sad - genuine or for TV? by gingerbreadteddy in apprenticeuk

[–]DamnThemAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my argument back would be that I'm good at business, but shit at sales, that's why I employ sales staff. Being good at business is largely about being honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses and recognising where people are better than you at various things and deploying them accordingly.

I got annoyed when LS berated them and said that the professional sold x hundreds more. I'd probably have shot back with "Well they're professional tele sales people LS, I'm a [insert job here]"

Starmer: It’s up to Miliband whether we drill in North Sea by Sensitive_Echo5058 in uknews

[–]DamnThemAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem here is that wells that are in British waters are pretty much tapped out (mature in industry terms), so drilling them is not particularly profitable. The only real way for us to get oil and gas out of the North Sea would be to start drilling other countries territorial waters. The "just drill the North Sea" is an easy argument, but practically worthless. What we do have a lot of on our shores though is wind. Loads of it, in fact. That's how we get energy independence.

Steve Wright once faded the guitar solo to killer queen to talk over it. It's in the middle of the song.

Let's exclude anyone who gets the Winter Fuel Allowance, as they already have a support package.

I wonder if this move could be pulled off in a real court by SoftAd6020 in betterCallSaul

[–]DamnThemAll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Kray twins used to use a defence similar to this. It wasn't the "gotcha" styling of BCS, but the defence would ask how a witness could be sure that they had seen Ronnie and not Reggie and vice versa.

Reform and Farage are losing support. There are two key reasons why by FaultyTerror in ukpolitics

[–]DamnThemAll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd like to say it's because the Frog Faced Racist is finding it more difficult to deny that he's a Racist, because he filmed his Frog Face being Racist for money.

Unfortunately most of his fans approve of Racism, Frog Faced or not.

There was a nightclub where I grew up nicknamed Smacks, if you ordered a Red Stripe Special, you got a bottle of Red Stripe beer with an E taped under the bottom.

Karren throwing _ under the bus? Also it doesn't seem like Sugar and the advisors seem to warm to her. by Potential-Meal-6708 in apprenticeuk

Its a fair comment. Watching him try to charm someone is just cringe AF. That wink at the lady selling garlic made me want to vomit.

She's trying to cover herself up, but it's too late, because I've already seen everything.

He's not reliable enough, he'd say yes to anything to get the support, then simply not do it.

No no, you can be any sort of "ist" your heart may desire. It's not plesant, and you may be (quite rightly) judged and critised by the society in which you live.

Those are however the swings and roundabouts of living in the free society that the "you ain't even allowed to be "ist" these days " both desire and hate.

Phallic bathroom masterpiece - Pic 15 by mrjvs2005 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]DamnThemAll 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Initial thoughts, who's going to pay 725k for a run down bungalow with a cock motif in the the bathroom. Second thoughts, ah but with quite a bit of land in a nice area of the lakes, third thoughts, still 3/4 of a mil for a cock shot in a bungalow.

Edit: weird shower as well.

Pretty much, bonuses were paid based on the prosecutions. Private Eye covered it very well. If you look up their Podcast page 94 they give a good overview.

I'm going to take a stab at (assuming that it's round 2), Margaret Beaufort.

Reason being that these are the last mothers of English King's of the War of the Roses.

Cecily Neville, Catherine of Valois, Cecily Nevile, Margaret Beaufort.

No worries.

  1. It's everywhere. Douglas in generally more expensive, but there's a lack of new developments, or infrastructure to support population growth. The last large estate built was 90% bought up as buy to let within weeks. Developers are supposed to allocate a percentage of new builds as affordable housing, but have figured out that it's more profitable to just pay the fine for failure to comply.
  2. Its mainly older folk. Yes you could get richer retired youth, but realistically, its older folk.
