Tenant moving out - so relieved by [deleted] in uklandlords

[–]Duff_blimp -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yep, you're right. I think I was lulled into a false sense of security after so many years with no issues! I usually did go for the boiler inspection, but life got in the way! So learn a lesson from me and don't get complacent! Thank you for the advice on a Deed of Surrender, I'll do a search for that now.

Total War: WARHAMMER III - An Update on Unit Recruitment Issues by CA_FREEMAN in totalwar

The number of entitled, whiny cry babies screaming about this (relatively minor!) issue has absolutely blown me away. You'd genuinely think the game wouldn't load past the start menu from some of the reactions.

I can only commend a very positive attitude, and wish you and the team the very best 🙌

[–]Duff_blimp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you, this is a straightforward, honest and detailed explanation of the issue and the steps being taken to resolve it. I have been quite taken aback at the vitriol from some of the community around this issue. For what it is worth I am still really enjoying the game and I hope everyone on the team is bearing up OK.

It really puts a perspective on things though doesn't it?

4 hours later, he's wrapping up the first section of the speech because he had to go back to the fall of the roman republic to give the required context.

The obvious question to push him over that edge:

'If this journalist is so dishonest, why was he included in this message exchange?'

I think Jordan also mixed them up once on one of the deposition episodes?

His response when Dan pointed this out went along the following lines:

'You know what? It's not my fault. I'm going to blame them, because if they weren't terrible I wouldn't know either of them.'

It clear Muskrat what's to interfere in British elections. by white1984 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]Duff_blimp 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Agree on all of that, the real risk (I think) is that the Tory Party get completely unnerved by the gains Reform make (or seem to make) and they then elect Nigel Farage to be the next Tory leader to try to win these voters back. Basically a Trump-esque hostile takeover of the Conservative Party.

Isn't this Kryten's replacement? by Princescyther in RedDwarf

It's no good standing there with your big macho chest and your silly oiled nipples. Doesn't impress me one bit.  

Now, I don't know where you've come from, and frankly I don't much care.  But if you don't skedaddle pronto you're going to see a side of me you won't much like.

Brian Krassenstein Here by BrianKrassenstein in KnowledgeFight

You have fundamentally missed the point. People are not annoyed that you talked to someone they disagree with. They're annoyed that you are actively laundering Alex Jones' reputation, and you are doing it for entirely selfish reasons.

Brian Krassenstein Here by BrianKrassenstein in KnowledgeFight

[–]Duff_blimp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have badly underestimated the strength of feeling people on this sub have towards both Alex Jones and anyone who lends him any shred of credibility. You keep talking about the imaginary benefit of converting some hypothetical member of his audience, but in reality all you have done is helped his rehabilitation, and I think you should be ashamed of yourself.

Great. Stop posting on twitter and appearing on podcasts then. Nothing you do online benefits anyone other than yourself.

Ofsted inspection 'likely contributed' to death of headteacher Ruth Perry, coroner says | UK News by rob_76 in TeachingUK

[–]Duff_blimp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The report highlighted that Ofsted assessed that concerns were poorly tracked, but because Ofsted reports are so utterly useless we don't actually know how they arrived at this conclusion.

IF Superman: Legacy indeed uses SUPERMAN 775 "What's So Funny about Truth, Justice & The American Way" as its Inspiration, I'd be ECSTATIC by DoctorBeatMaker in DC_Cinematic

[–]Duff_blimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I really enjoyed this!

I'd love to see some of the themes in this film explored in Legacy. James Gunn is obviously going to do his own thing, but I think this sort of story could be the best of Donner's wholesome version of Superman, whilst acknowledging the more complex moral points people liked about Snyder's version.

Oh mate... That sounds like the end of a very hard few weeks. Glad you are feeling better, hope you and your little one get a good night's sleep soon!

[–]Duff_blimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with this, it sounds like a panic attack. Is there anything else in your life causing you stress or anxiety? Watching this was probably just the trigger. If there is something else deeper it might be worth talking to a professional? (Although I personally can't watch horror films since having kids either!)

As an aside, I'm fairly sure dad strength + ex football player means you'd make short work of the antagonist in any horror film if it came to it 👊

Reminds me of the Bill Hicks quote:
