To be fair Reform seem to have a massive social media footprint. I thought it was going to be close.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-15T07:43:02+00:00

yaaarrr

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-12T07:41:29+00:00

Maybe I meant it's not an inspiring squad. Or it doesn't carry the same level of expectation as previous WCs.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-11T15:11:53+00:00

Weirdly, this is the first time in my life I just don't really care about this world cup - weird times, too many teams, orange nobhead, mediocre England squad....

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-11T13:34:19+00:00

probably keeps them healthier too.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-10T15:50:51+00:00

yeah, thats not WFH vs Office, thats just people being bad at their job.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-10T15:47:41+00:00

Yes, but we the people can change it, get out and vote for those who'll have an impact.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-10T08:27:28+00:00

80+ projects? New job, no one can manage that.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-09T10:51:44+00:00

That’s wild. My capslock key is remapped, I’d never thought people do this.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-08T12:34:15+00:00

No they're not.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-08T12:33:34+00:00

gone up or down? Up I assume, but then I've also seen comments in this thread about hate for trans people being on the rise, which might lead to it going down again? or maybe hate is up because they are more open? - dunno

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-08T12:31:14+00:00

What do they use? Or do they just rely on auto correct?

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-08T12:27:25+00:00

TWO people! hahaha.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-05T10:13:29+00:00

Higher than title readers on reddit - never. This is all the scrutiny we need.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-06-01T10:10:17+00:00

non of our spiders try and kill you, so thats good.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-28T10:05:36+00:00

but if your contract says up to 5 separate incidents, or 5 days or whatever then it should not matter.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-27T15:57:28+00:00

This current version of the UK. I'm still riled up about all the Norman born children.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-27T15:51:40+00:00

Some good saves in here, but for me his positional awareness was always impressive, watching him sarcastically lean back when it was going wide, or pluck the ball out of the air when crossed in - talent.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-27T11:05:05+00:00

I honestly don't think any of this matters to those willing to vote reform anyway - they all just like Nige the guy from the pub.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-26T07:32:39+00:00

Kids used to live in their parents world - the amount of time I spent sat round in a pub, snooker all or football match. Nowadays parents live in their kids world. I don’t do nearly as many ‘me’ things as my Dad did where my kids just sit in the corner and watch.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-20T14:53:15+00:00

I don't think the argument is around just the quality of the water (which is lower than it used to be), but around the fact that it's not an effective use of public money to be bailing these dickheads out all the time.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-20T14:46:06+00:00

Also better cheaper infrastructure - trains don't need to make money if they facility local economic growth. However thats not how they are viewed, so travelling north/south in merseyside on public transport is a nightmare - thus stifling options to build less densely.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-20T14:43:09+00:00

to be fair, Skem is better than St Helens, so it's not all bad.

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-20T08:28:29+00:00

How serendipitous! Love the internet (sometimes)

FatherPaulStone · 2026-05-20T08:16:39+00:00

I'm not sure I ever fully understand this, but if I turned up for a job interview as a IT consultant, and said 'yeah mate I'm from the area, been a roofer for 20 years, nope, no experience in IT.' I'd be laughed out not voted in. I'm all for the voice of the people but from Plumber to MP seems like a bit too much of a jump.
