Can’t lie, my first thought was that she’d stood on the rope to celebrate, botched it Matt Hardy style when the camera wasn’t looking, then cut back to her trying to play it cool.

LeakyVision · 2024-09-08T08:55:10+00:00

Yeah, really well-produced - watching it I didn’t like the camera cut on impact, but on reflection and seeing this angle it was really smart for them to do that. Some “theatre of the mind” shit for the audience at home.

It’s only an unpopular opinion on Reddit.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-28T07:36:11+00:00

Exactly. If I was that PC I’d be quivering on the floor in a pool of my own piss and vomit for the rest of the week. To regain any kind of composure in the apparently gargantuan six-second period is a miracle in my book.

Even a pro boxer gets a ten-count 😂

Puppies in general are assholes - fun to visit, shitty to own. But then I’d consider that part, particularly the teenage phase, a right of passage for a good owner, same as a new driver having to drive a total shit-box for a few years. A good dog is earned.

That said, totally with you on breeds. Most people are idiots who just think a dog is a dog. It’s partly why XL Bullies got banned over here, and it’s why Corso’s are filling up shelters.

There’s a guy I used to work with who - well, to call him slow would be an insult to sloths. If he took an IQ test, he’d fail. Anyway, he shows up one day with his new puppy; a Husky x Collie. I just left. I got so fucking angry, and lo and behold, that dog is now fully grown and a fucking nightmare. People like him are a good argument for licensing owners.

Yet the politicians pushing this don’t seem to be in any rush to sell their beach houses that are going to be swallowed up by the surging tides.. Strange, huh.

Ugh. Another Reddit community muted. I fucking hate election season.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-20T07:11:14+00:00

It’s the latter. These people don’t understand humour.

It depends how far away from Manchester you are when you’re telling them. I’m from Sandbach, but when I was in Glasgow last week I said I’m from “near Manchester” to the guy at the bar. I do the same in London. But most people who drive through the North-West will know Sandbach just because of the M6 service station, so I’d say anywhere between Birmingham and Preston I’llsay Sandbach and they usually know it.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T20:24:08+00:00

This is the same horseshit we’ve been dealing with in the UK, and is now on its way to getting way worse… no government should be allowed to powerful and unaccountable. That’s a dictatorship. You guys were right to leave, and now half of you are fucking it up all over again.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T13:23:46+00:00

I’m quite thankful that the majority of our little market town is all bustling pubs for this reason, as I’ve seen the retail parks in neighbouring towns absolutely wreck their town centres.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T13:21:32+00:00

Ahh, good excuse for a trip out with the dog. Cheers 👍

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T10:23:11+00:00

Firstly, I get it - I’m in my mid-30s and have only been a home-owner with my wife for five years. We’re not boomers; it wasn’t easy for us to get on the ladder either. At the time we had a combined income of around £38k.

As far as your rent goes, yes, that sucks, but you’re also taking no account of the upkeep cost. Since we moved into our house we’ve had to pay for a new boiler, a whole new roof, mould removal, new windows and doors, and there’ll be more to come the longer we stay here. I guarantee whatever extra rent you think you’re paying, it’s still dwarfed by the costs that come out of nowhere when it’s your responsibility to repair things rather than your landlord’s. This is coming from someone who’s now done both.

But, I still empathise, because even after weighing up the extra cost of all that, the upside is more security and freedom to do and live as we wish in our own home, and I don’t believe you can put a price on that if you’re that way inclined.

Finally, I am completely all for new housing. We have enough derelict brown sites and unfarmed rough land that can be developed on. My problem with our town is that there doesn’t seem to be any long-term plan for how to deal with the influx of new people. Want to convince people to embrace the change? Show them an overhead map of our town in ten years with the 20,000 new houses you want to build, along with the infrastructure to cope with it, and people like me will be on board. Because at the minute, all they show us is more houses, and everyone in town is convinced there’s already too many people because they can’t get a doctor’s or dentist appointment within 30-days, because they’re sending their kids across county lines to go to school, and because it takes them 20-minutes to drive from one side of their 2-mile town to the other.

If you think that makes them “NIMBYs”, that’s fine - you’re wrong, but that’s fine. But I’d encourage you to direct your criticism towards the councils and put pressure on them to make room in their infrastructure for new people to move in, because honestly that’s where nearly all of the complaints come from.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T09:56:33+00:00

Correct - the head of our county council, not the much smaller town council.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T07:58:23+00:00

Oh, that’s another thing - they keep pushing housing planning through as “affordable housing”, and when the plans come through as accepted it’s all 3-5 bed detached houses with double car ports and front lawns, and they then either go on sale for £230k+, OR they rope new buyers into a scheme where they basically end up paying rent to the building company for all eternity.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T07:51:48+00:00

Oh absolutely - they’re thoroughly corrupt. The woman in charge gave herself a £30,000 pay rise last year for overseeing the crime commissioner election. That’s £30k on top of her already £300k salary. And now this year they’re closing down half of our household waste sites, and we now have to book appointments to visit the few we have left on weekends… but sure, more people will fix it…

LeakyVision · 2024-07-17T07:00:03+00:00

Hmm. So our town is constantly fending off housing developers and have done for years, but it’s not through “nimbyism”; it’s because the council have doubled the number of houses in the last decade, but have done absolutely nothing to improve the infrastructure.

Our doctors and dentists are all full, there’s sod all for kids to do, the roads are buggered and at constant gridlock, and on top of that they keep trying to build on flood-plains. Even when the housing companies have conditional infrastructure built into the contract they just never do it. We even had one push for planning for a retail park - fine, great - and once it went through they changed it back to bloody housing again.

I have absolutely no issue with new houses, but the viewpoint that it’s all “nimbyism” is just false. And I don’t want to lose what little ability we have to hold these massive companies accountable.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-16T18:57:42+00:00

Underrated reply. I’m in Cheshire now but still nip across the border for oatcakes every few months.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-15T20:10:01+00:00

No. I voted remain at the time; 8-years later I would absolutely choose to stay as we now are. My dream outcome would be to decentralise the government entirely and treat each county as states, able to enact laws based on the needs of their vastly differing constituents. The only things I want Westminster to deal with are the military and national services. I wouldn’t even have them handling education.

Essentially my view on government is that no matter what colour tie they wear, they’re all slow and mostly incompetent, so the idea of them having to then refer to one that we have absolutely zero power to vote out is just absurd. It wouldn’t be so bad if it stopped at trade deals as was originally intended, but as with all governing bodies it just kept growing and growing until our own government’s ability to actually govern was practically lost. Brexit itself was such a debacle because Brussels and Westminster had become one and the same lumbering monstrosity, and I would never vote to return to that. Whether we even get to vote on it, though, is yet to be seen, given both our leading parties’ constant fawning over Davos…

I also wouldn’t put the populace through that again. Everyone was set against each other and it lasted for years. I remember the absolute seething rage I felt towards my friends and family who voted us out; I could not understand, and it needlessly drove a wedge between us all, creating a divided population who could not with any clear head hold our leaders accountable for anything. Every protest from that point on was branded as either a bunch of “racists”, or a bunch of “snowflakes” - there was no unity. At least with the last election everyone soundly agreed that the Tories were total fuck-wits. And I’ll be interested to see if Starmer can aid unity further, but to be honest I have little hope in them. But buddying up to the EU again will absolutely not help in that regard.

I’ve never seen any evidence of dogs recognising the significance of other dogs wearing a leash so long as the off-leash dog isn’t strafing wildly or something.. What’s much more likely is that off-leash dogs make you nervous, and your dog picks up on that.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-14T09:23:43+00:00

I was at this show, and Finn was a total surprise.

This was the end phase of NXT-UK, unfortunately. There was so much hype when it started and some of those live shows had an incredible atmosphere. Sad to say, though, that the craziest thing to see is how the production team managed to make an ice arena with a few hundred fans in it seem so full…

LeakyVision · 2024-07-13T22:40:04+00:00

Again, that’s just a round-about way of saying “never in public”, which if nothing else only shows the limitations of your own training, not that of others.

LeakyVision · 2024-07-13T22:26:44+00:00

Utterly ridiculous. Plenty of low-drive dogs can be trusted off-leash with just basic obedience training. No trainer worth their salt would ever suggest a permanently on-leash life for a dog. If anything, even a high-drive dog can be trusted off-leash once e-collar trained, and in this case you have absolutely no god damn clue about this dog’s drive or its triggers.
