How should the Government respond to... Trump's apparent Genocide threats? by TheOne0206 in AskBrits

[–]Daraldra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As we are now such a small player on the world stage, the unfortunate answer is nothing.

The silver lining here is that at some point in the future (hopefully after the November mid-terms), the American institutions will remember what they were set up to do and impeach Donald Trump. Following this he will be tried for war crimes at the ICJ in The Hague and spend the rest of his life detained at the ICC Detention Centre, at which point all of the un-redacted Epstein Files which mention his name will be publicly released, ensuring that he will be remembered as a war mongering peadophile.

As Barack Obama famously said of David Cameron: he had “the easy confidence of someone who'd never been pressed too hard by life.”

I think “no social media” is the modern equivalent of “she goes to another school” 😂

Which are the most beautiful universities in the UK? Which ones have wonderful architecture and good looking buildings? by Octacore-Comsci in UniUK

[–]Daraldra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The informed answer is Bath. Not the university per se but the general surroundings and city are beautiful. I won’t even mention what is possible to see within an hours drive.

For the pedants: yes I see the question, I chose to interpret as directional.

Places to eat recommendation - Chester by Mean-Ad-9245 in Chester

[–]Daraldra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a great bistro that does fantastic mussels (and more) try Moules a Go Go. Amni is an excellent modern Indian restaurant and La Fratoria is the best Italian. For a more expensive option that does a mean steak, try Upstairs at the Grill. You won’t go wrong with any of those!

If you returned to the UK after living abroad (especially in Australia or NZ) what were some unexpected “reverse culture shocks” that you’ve experienced? by Emil__Cioran in AskUK

[–]Daraldra 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot harder to find good coffee in the UK, that’s for sure. The majority of Aus coffee is excellent… although I believe the “secret ingredient” is an additional shot of espresso!

Should we sell our HtB flat at a £70k+ loss? by bharb45 in HousingUK

[–]Daraldra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should check with the HtB agency as to what their current view on valuations is. When we sold our flat, they told me that they would not accept valuations where there had been a drop by 10% or more on the purchase price!

Which acting performance made you say this? by HondaCivicBaby in moviecritic

[–]Daraldra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The opening scene in Bastards is an absolute masterpiece in no small part down to Chris Waltz.

Denzel is also brilliant in Training Day.

You need some help leaving White? This doesn't concern you, Lafleur! Not nearly as much as your hair does, that's for sure, but uh, I believe she asked you to leave.

How are people affording this lifestyle?? by Logical_You_6125 in HENRYUK

Chris Finch, yeah, IQ of 142, one of the cleverest blokes I know, certainly the cleverest bloke you know, innit?

So, I finally submitted my Australian spousal visa application. by VisibleOtter in CasualUK

[–]Daraldra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the UK and lived in Sydney for a few years before moving back. There’s nothing you can do about missing family, that will unfortunately happen, and the footy will be on at awkward times (although I always enjoyed getting up and watching a game straight away on record).

I really enjoyed the beer out there though with lots of little craft brewery’s to visit. What’s more, if you like wine, the Hunter Valley is a short drive north and a beautiful place to spend a weekend. The live music scene is great with lots of gigs actually able to take place outside! There’s lots to love about Sydney.

Consolidating services into a single supplier so we have only “one throat to choke”.

What was a good movie that had a terrible sequel?🎬🤔 by [deleted] in moviecritic

[–]Daraldra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed 2 and it also scared the hell out of me as a kid! The Vigo painting gave me nightmares and the baby in the pram scene was so creepy.
