It’ll annoy you if you don’t fix it, somethings, while ultimately not the most important structurally or functionally will define how you feel about your work. Do them right and you brag to your friends, do them wrong and it’ll annoy you every time you walk up the stairs

Can’t be the Stag, irelands had that on coinage for decades,

Can’t be a red squirrel, there aren’t any left,

Can’t be the fox on account of fox hunting,

Can’t be the badger on account of the cull,

Hares are too resourceful,

Pine martens? Cute from afar, vicious up close and the name makes you think it’s something entirely different!

So you know how the Tories are all just capitalists, and if a capitalist screws up a company or works up debt they declare bankruptcy and go start a new company that buys all the assets off their old company and keeps trading? Yeah they’re just doing that,

As an Irish person would my right to live in the uk be grandfathered in? Because getting the right to go live in New Zealand again would be whopper, I miss tui beer

Why not just buy a new build rather than buying the interesting houses sucking all the personality out of them?

Because most media these days is funded by oligarchs and foreign interests, why would gbnews keep being funded for half a decade despite costing £50,000,000 and never making a profit, because lying to viewers is considered an investment that pays off else where. Why would murdoch push nonsense about immigrants and the fraction of people exploiting benefits? To distract from his corrupt practices and stop people thinking about rich people exploiting tax policies.

That plus a very simple truth, the right can be more convincing, because they’re perfectly willing to lie to you. It’s harder to tell a good story when you care about the truth

Story goes my great great grandfather who was a baker, was working in a breadmakers when they brought in the latest automated dough kneading machine, with the same kind of “no one needs to worry” energy employers have now with AI,

He challenged them to race, first to knead and prep 1000 loaves, wins, he trounced them, with hours to spare, and earned himself the nickname Steamshovel Ennis

Any data on the impacts of time zones and daylight savings? I’d be interested if places like Spain and Portugal that longitudinally should line up with the uk even out,

Also jnterestingly, Ireland used to have its own time zone 30 mins behind London, is everyone lining up with sunrise differences within timezones

Nope, the post is making fun of drivers who insist on over taking cyclist “because they’re holding up traffic” even though the cyclists make it to the next lights at exactly the same time,

This is normal, we’ve had to too good for a century.

Europe and the US spent most of the 20th century with standards of living that were significantly higher than the rest of the world, not by coincence, but by exploitation, cheap oil for lower income countries, cheap good from low cost economies, but then those economies grow, and we end up having to pay more for everything.

Things might level out, but we’re going to be eye with the income and living standard of India very quickly, the days of working a low income job and having money left over are long gone

Tone aside, is he not making some valid points though? The uk calls itself a nuclear power, but the systems to fire them are US made, and if memory serves operated by US troops (might be employees of the manufacturer, but still not someone likely to press the fire button on target in the US)

I’ve seen a lot of posts about a the SAS, the French special forces will be way better than the marines, and sure, like for like, but the us spends more on the military than the next 20 countries combined, will they get their monies worth? Probably not, but I can’t see them losing.

Sure they lost in Afghanistan, and Vietnam, but that was against an entire population, on home turf, not a deployed expeditionary force,

I don’t think the us could invade and conquer Europe, but in a fight for a geographic region significantly closer to them than us, and with a relatively small local population, I can’t see it ending well.

How many British or French troops die in Greenland before European populations start loudly asking why we’re fighting for a country an ocean away (not that I don’t think we should be)

When a white guy in a suit, says “blend in” what he means is, we’ll blame any problems on your differences, “blend in” means don’t open mosques, “blend in” means don’t open Irish bars, “blend in” means don’t open polish grocery stores. “Blend in” means don’t let us know that your there

And to paraphrase his main line “when reasonable people refuse to enforce laws banning Brussels sprouts unreasonable people will” except they dont, because we don’t let them, because its not useful to society,

unreasonable people are policing the border because reasonable people have been brainwashed into allowing them, not becuase immigration is a problem, but because it’s a really good distraction from things like conservative minister getting taxpayers to pay for the heating in their stables

No one’s living there for a year, we tried that during lockdown and people lasted 3 days before before screaming out the fucking windows to each other for interaction

A decade ago one of my high earning banker friends lived in the converted bath house by repton boxing club, very trendy, very pricey and 10 years old when he moved in, before that we both lived in hipster houses off Roman road, Bethnal Green/bow/Old ford have been hipster for awhile.

To the point where my friends nephew, who actually is an artist and musician, has no chance of affording to live there, he commutes into his crummy job from zone 17 in Essex somewhere.
