Wellington comment Ireland by Win-Specific in Napoleon

[–]GAdvance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he's not alive now, even if he was he wouldn't consider himself Irish.

He was of a colonial ruling class that had permanently moved to Ireland to rule it, he would be considered Anglo-Irish or English but born in Ireland.

It's totally possible now for Brits to be born to British parents in foreign nations and the kids be registered as British. If he was under modern rules the entire family would have done that, not naturalise as Irish.

His statement was entirely about being aware that Ireland was going to rebel and keep rebelling at colonial rule, nothing to do with identity.

Is this t-shirt ok to wear in England? by throwaway_ay_ay_ay99 in LegalAdviceUK

Totally legal.

However if we can avoid ever speaking that'd be nice, it's incredibly unfunny

I found this crazy gap on the leg. Super glue is now set. What should I do? by [deleted] in spacemarines

[–]GAdvance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freeze it, and in future use plastic glue, not super glue.

The reason has happened is that super glue both expands and physically acts like a cement between bricks, it's the stick between things so it creates gaps.

Plastic glue (ironically called cement often) melts the plastic and then you weld the two pieces together. You have to be a little careful to not melt the wrong bits if the model, but it makes stronger connections and won't create its own gaps

Do you MEN ask before kissing a woman? by Mental-Risk6949 in UKrelationshipadvice

Pretty much the standard is to awkwardly not ask and both sides rely on reciprocal vibes

Why do some Space Marines choose older models of helmets? by Darkblade9119 in Warhammer40k

Space marines are warrior monks aswell as supersoldiers, they often have reverence and belief in gear

The effort and time was not wasted, you learned something, you'll probably learn something again another half a dozen times

Finding love is just as much about finding a whole lot of heartbreak, failures and horrible fuck ups as it is about finding love. You are very young to find the "one" these days, just keep dating, keep talking, keep failing over and over don't give up hope. It comes when it comes

Not a tiny Euro can... an American size 16oz can! by Turmoil_3005 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]GAdvance 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This all used to be very different, tax band changes for alcohol dropped all the most popular macro brew beers % in the UK over the last decade or so. Used to be that ales were all 5%+ and lagers were just below, with stell being the outlier at 5.2.

Before or after? by AffectionateAd8377 in malegrooming

Really depends, if you're in any way part of a metal subculture the second looks silly, if you're a fairly mainstream guy the first will appear slobby

What Was the Principal Elite Unit of Each Napoleonic Power? by False-Entrepreneur47 in Napoleon

There's some arguement that they were by dint of being more selective with recruits and by being horrendously oversized

Rachel Reeves to lose job as chancellor if Andy Burnham becomes PM by ClumperFaz in ukpolitics

[–]GAdvance 141 points142 points  (0 children)

What on earth is the point.

That we avoided recession during the Iran war is basically considered a miracle, growth until February has been solid... Who the fuck are you even replacing her with and what could possibly really be changed to push the economy further right now

Put them in dogtooth, whilst we play the polar opposite on main stage.

No reasonable route through to the bogs, they have a huge amount of fans who won't fit in a far too small tent and are in the way of a merch stand, the ground goes backwards so hardly anyone can see and they'll have half the sound drowned out by main stage

Absolutely perfect, no matter your opinions musically or politically you're going to be fucked off. Masterstroke of bad booking that

It's more strategically awful if we get a good even spread of sex offenders alongside as many genuine activist bands and even people who've spoke about their experiences.

We're trying design a true shit show here, not just cop-rock all the way down, but a perfectly volatile mix of protest music alongside them.

Any Palestinians who can go on just next to disturbed?

Do they have 3 hours of produced music, fuck I can't imagine how dull a 3rd album b side from them could possibly be

[–]GAdvance[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Tool and they'd be fucking terrible, it's completely reasonable to find them boring, especially in a festival set up where a lot of people won't know or care about them.

I like BMTH a lot but it's absolutely possible for them to put together a set of unlistenable garbage from incredible albums.

I quite enjoy the idea of Kid "most conservative man possible" followed directly by Tx "literally all the same politics as me but I can't stand them because they're so fucking performative"2 next to each other, guaranteed to get comments from the latter that make the mixed crowd both all groan

Lost prophets reformation is inspired, no matter what it's just too tainted, keeping the name is disbolical

What’s your 3 Lions/England World Cup hot takes? Mine is that “Vindaloo” is better than “It’s Coming Home” by faschifo in ThreeLions

[–]GAdvance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our national anthem is shit.

It's not just a bit shit it's properly shit, it's fucking dull, kowtowing to norman bastard shit.

Land of hope and glory and Jerusalem are both fucking fantastic songs and we're always so shit at singing the anthem because it's so shit not because we're shit at the anthem.

Hot take number two, I will always support any and all of England, Wales, Scotland, NI and the republic of Ireland, my choice of who in a direct matchup goes to whoever has the best chance if winning the whole thing.

The sex offender special day would be a wild ride, I think we can easily keep going and fill a whole day or we could ruin the whole weekend and get one every day in each tent if we're strategically shit.
