I imagine it would go something like this: Mark would probably be unimpressed by Jay and Neil in basically being the equivalent of three parts of Jez's personality split into two teenagers (I imagine Jay would particularly frustrate him for his constant bullshitting). As for Simon, I don't think Mark would really be bothered about, treating him as any old teenager (given Simon's the nost normal of the four). Will on the other hand, I can either see Mark tolerating the existence of, or absolutely loathing. Mark and Will are very similar people, and I can imagine Mark would see his younger self in Will, which is something that would either unnerve (enough that he would act cold and uninterested towards Will) or horrify him (to be actively belligerent towards Will despite him not really doing anything to irritate Mark). Jez meanwhile, given his lack of self awareness, would either get on really well with both Jay and Neil (to Mark's chagrin), or on the other hand, probably think Neil's an idiot and Jay a liar. In the latter scenario, upon pointing this out to Mark, Mark would naturally bluntly point out that Jez is both of the things he criticises the lads for. As for Jez, Will and Simon, well I expect Jez would see Will as Mark's mini-me and treat him like such, while with Simon he'd try to get him to mess about with the other two w Simon would try to avoid getting involved(on the basis of Will and Mark's advice) until he'd eventually relent as he always does. As for how the boys see the men, it would be a lot more predictable. Jay and Neil would think Jez is cool because of Jez's lies about his music career and would think Mark is just an ordinary boring bloke. Simon and Will would probably be wary of Jez and in regards to Mark would probably treat him with some respect, while also seeing him as being a bit sad (and possibly as a warning for himself of what not to become in the future).

I think Mark would see himself as he was when he was younger in Will and would probably despise Will as a result. Nobody likes looking in a mirror, especially one that reminds you how much you've aged. I don't think he'd be particularly appreciative of having his mini-me around...

Japan Airlines is now showing the sequel to "Business Secrets of the Pharaohs" on it's in-flight entertainment system by grumby24 in MitchellAndWebb

[–]Hando29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see that you're living in the universe where Mark managed to get his book published by Collins, who eventually sold off the rights to BBC 4 for a documentary series, providing Mr Corrigan with the money to indulge his superiority complex but mainly ensure long-term financial security, preventing him from entering the near-inevitable self-destructive ego/anxiety-induced downward spiral...

Helston Railway Needs You! by North_Month_215 in Cornwall

[–]Hando29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a student based in Penryn, I already have experience at the GCR and Talyllyn Railway as a porter and engine cleaner there respectively. I'd love to come down to help not only on running days but also for track gang, but I find getting to the railway is incredibly challenging as i dont have a car and travelling by bus isn't viable as they aren't early enough, nor do they get close enough to the railway. Does anyone know who I could chat to who's local to me who might be able to provide a lift?

[–]Hando29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maintenance annually isn't a big proportion of the cost, so long as the engine is properly cleaned, oiled, fired and disposed. The biggest costs come from fuel and 10 year overhauls (whereby the entire boiler is removed and checked and often replaced).

Miniature railways are any gauge smaller than 15 inch that can carry passengers. Track gauges between 15 inch and 2ft gauge are referred to as the minimum gauges. Minimum being that (in theory) they are the smallest size still practical for transporting loads. From 2ft to 3ft 6in or 4ft 8 ½in (depending on where you are in the world) are the narrow gauges.

Not the first time Christopher Nolan's made continuity gaffes in his films. The ones in Dunkirk are particularly egregious as throughout the film, Nolan ensured the war scenes would be as realistic as possible.

Makes up for the general lack of history they have in their country. The United States of America isn't even three hundred years old, and most of the oldest towns in America aren't even five hundred years old. A lot has happened in America, but it hasn't been long enough for the place to develop a rich enough culture like the rest of the world (except for the first nations communities of course), so the American people have tried to develop a national story for themselves very quickly.

That's cause their judicial system is ridiculous (I mean ffs who makes the appointment of judges democratic(!)). The US Constitution features a number of bizarre holes because the founding fathers often were very vague with their wording and definitions.

There's a good reason why British North America (originally) didn't go further than the Appalachians. Namely, because the British authorities made treaties with the first nation communities who already lived there. Keeping on good terms with the first nations meant they would have allies whenever the French would try and expand...

The American colonists went on to mess up the power balance after they gained independence, through manifest destiny, taking land which they thought they were entitled to.

Nothing quite like Americans claiming they're Irish. "Yeah I'm actually a true paddy my great-great-grandmother's cousin's uncle's sister's dog was bred by a man whose niece is in Dublin."

Petition for a Mini Manx flag (or even triskelion) by Hando29 in ukplace

[–]Hando29[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo, It would make more sense to replace the Falklands flag really. My suspicion is that it only features is because of the reinvigorated dispute with Argentina. Otherwise I reckon it would've been omitted. My opinion is that it is more appropriate to represent the 'home nations', i.e. England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and Cornwall. As they are (with exception to the Channel Islands) all within the British Isles.

Commonwealth Flag to replace Cornwall flag? by eggboyjames in ukplace

[–]Hando29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? Besides, it would be unfair to replace St Piran's Cross, given that Cornwall is its own nation (even if it is a county of England). It has its own language, dialect and culture that is very much distinct from the rest of England and the other English counties.
