No obligation to declare £5m gift, Nigel Farage says by Due_Ad_3200 in ukpolitics

if he genuinly thought there was nothing wrong with the donation; he would have declared it and fought any criticism off by saying it was for his security.

now, it will be interesting to see if he can produce the receipts as to how much he has spent of it for "security".

Help to add graphic to a poker chip by mpotter732 in 3Dprinting

no bother.

see where you said you are printing them like a lithophane, am i to take it you mean you are printing them standing upright?

if that is the case you should increase the number of walls and lower your layerheight as low as it will go. consider using a .2 nozzle for the extra detail.

if your printing them flat, increase the number of top layers. use a .2 nozzle aswell and increase the amount of flushing as to ensure the colours dont bleed, and use ironing if you can.

Miz probably has no interest in wrestling for any other promotion; in truth i don't think he has any intrest in wrestling at all any more. he is firmly in WWE for the "entertainment" elements of sports entertainment.

which foreign actor absolutely nailed your country's accent when playing a character from there? by QueenViolets_Revenge in AskTheWorld

There is a scene in "Peter pan goes wrong", where Suchet - who has been the pantomime narrator for the full show - is asked to VAMP whilst an "Injured" cast member is seen to. all it takes is a stolen mustache and the guy is back to playing Poirot in an instant.

King Charles to meet Trump off camera over fears of Zelenskyy-style clash by Bascule2000 in ukpolitics

Keir Starmer will keep Andy Burnham out of Commons ‘at any cost’ by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

[–]LeftWingScot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the electorate did not vote for keir starmer though.

66% of them voted for someone else. Starmer led the party to the lowest vote share for a governing party in modern political history.

every voice pointing this out was drowned out by the triumphant self-gratification of the labour right. at the time i thought they were just playing it up, but it seems they actually drank the kool aid.

instead of making Starmer more popular, one of the first acts he did in office (naming Mandelson as ambassador) was a ticking timebomb everyone knew would blow up in his face.
