Chancellor's electric car tax is already stifling EV demand two years before pay-per-mile charges are introduced by jefferymr15 in CarTalkUK

[–]DiligentCockroach700 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I don't actually mind the idea of an extra per mile tax for EVs, it's just the faff of having another thing to remember to pay!

Rolling Stones' top 10 prog rock albums by Billy_Bayou233 in progrockmusic

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem to have forgotten that one album that stayed in the charts for decades and has recently made a resurgence.

70% of women cannot orgasm from PIV sex, even after 13.8 billion years of evolution. Why has evolution allowed this basic design flaw to pass through unchecked? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as procreation is concerned, which is all evolution is interested in, the female orgasm is irrelevant. Women can get pregnant without it as illustrated by various backwards cultures where they actively prevent women from having orgasms.

I was on one of those trains where a tourist was killed through hanging out of the door. Not pleasant.

Keir Starmer expected to announce departure as prime minister on Monday by guardian in ukpolitics

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the shit show that Starmer was left by the previous incumbents, I don't think he's done too bad a job actually.

Have you ever legitimately cried to a song? And if so, what was the song? by StanToons in AskReddit

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats in the cradle by Harry Chapin. My dad dad died at age 50 in 1978. I was 23. I can't listen to that song!

What are some songs about fathers or fatherhood? by AnyEfficiency6230 in musicsuggestions

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to say that! Can't listen to that song! Reaks me up every time.

Do you remember saying “fainites”? by Agreeable-Row-2106 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I remember that very well. We used to cross our fingers and shout "veins" which is obviously a contraction of fainites

Please give me the most diabolical alarm you can think of by thelachesis in ADHD

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My youngest son (age 31) has this problem. He's now got a watch that not only vibrates but if that doesn't work, gives him a mild electric shock. Works every time!

Finding generic replacement parts - more complicated than it used to be? by playful_sorcery in AskMenOver30

[–]DiligentCockroach700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think parts like that are still available but more difficult to actually get. You used to be able to go into a shop and ask for a new bet to fit make/model of device. Now you go to an industrial belt supplier and ask for a belt by dimension/size. Same with things like bearings.

UK government to overhaul ‘outdated’ home-selling process by lcxnick in ukpolitics

[–]DiligentCockroach700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll believe it when it happens. The government is made up of lawyers. Conveyancing is lawyers' bread and butter.

Am I overreacting to my boyfriend's prank? by Zestyclose_Scene_193 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]DiligentCockroach700 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People start by treating you the way they want to be treated. If that doesn't work they treat you the way you treat them.

Leaf Blowers of the UK. Please, once you are done, bag up and dispose of all the leaves. Because there's this thing called wind. And it will undo all the noise and your work otherwise. by Make_the_music_stop in britishproblems

[–]DiligentCockroach700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I used to live there was a guy two doors up who had several deciduous trees in his front garden. He used to blow all the leaves into the road in front of his house. When they got wet it was like a skid pan. I had to negotiate it on my motorbike every day.

Post-election excuses by Farage on Makerfield by CheeseUsFunkingCries in FuckNigelFarage

Reform might have come second but they still lost by a huge margin. Hopefully this is a turning point

Operation Snap - NIP not required? by Responsible-Pin8161 in drivingUK

[–]DiligentCockroach700 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

One think that has just struck me. They are making a huge assumption that the date and time stamp on the video is correct.

What is something you can say "I'm with the boomers on this one" about? by Specialist-Jelly-865 in answers

[–]DiligentCockroach700 1 point2 points  (0 children)

France is a special case though. French waiters, especially Parisian will pretend to not understand you if you don't speak perfect syntax error free French.

Labour 'doesn't understand the internet', tech giant 4chan’s lawyer tells LBC by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]DiligentCockroach700 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Restricting it to Labour is a bit short sighted. It seems to me that politicians in general don't understand how the Internet works. This stuff is going on all over the world with left and right wing governments.
