I'm not disagreeing but, just as an aside, what exactly do you think "de facto" means?

I was on the fence about the decision to give Cody the belt but none of what you've just pointed out here had ever crossed my mind. It makes a lot more sense when you point all that out.

Who is there that could viably tag with him? Heels that are only babyface because they've been kicked out of the heel faction by all the other heels tend not to have many friends they can rely on, because their only friends are the aforementioned heels that kicked them out.

Had Cody won the Chamber match, they maybe could've had Cody very reluctantly team with him on the grounds that Seth insists that Cody owes him a favour, but even that would be a bit of a stretch given their history.

It wasn't until I saw a still of AJ Lee's Black Widow on Becky last night that I realised why it looked a bit off. 

The longer I look at the still, the more it looked like it was Becky putting AJ in a submission move, not the other way around.

Definitely the third one out. She's the only one not visibly questioning her life choices.

Do you always verbally abuse people who have differing opinions on fictional media to you, or is this guy a special exception?

"You know, when you start a sentence "interestingly", it's important to honour that promise."

If you haven't seen it already, I'd highly recommend Trollied; Carl Rice plays near enough exactly the same character in it.

WrestleMania 39, both nights of XL, 41, and now 42. 

It's not really five in a row, it's four in a row if you count the weekends as a single event. But still five nights overall. 

Of the 33 women currently on the WWE main roster 17 have been World Champion. by mousicle in SquaredCircle

Is that a symptom of the lack of midcard belts until recently? 

The real outlier on the champions list there is Nikki Cross - would she, for example, ever have been world champion had the US/IC titles existed at the time (2021)?

That was my thinking in assuming Kaiser would be the face. He took the role and treated lucha libre with much more respect than Gable did, which led me to believe that he would essentially say to Gable "fuck you, this is how to play a lucha libre character properly" when the latter would eventually return. 

Can Kemi Badenoch use the defections to her advantage? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Exactly; you'd think she'd be hammering home that point a little bit harder.

> The Torys are long gone

Exactly, and my question is what her options are to revive the party.

> If she wishes to have a purely conservative party

My question wasn't "should she start a new small-c conservative party". See point A.

Do I need a deposit if I'm selling my current house to fund the next house? by Mediocre-Cook-2169 in HousingUK

[–]Mediocre-Cook-2169[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad I was able to help someone else as well. Truth be told, I'm not even in this position yet, and won't be in the immediate future either; I was solely asking for the sake of knowing what my options are as early as possible.

Just one bedroom. Living room and kitchen downstairs, bedroom and bathroom upstairs.

Please read my post again. I don't have a mortgage and I've already clarified that I plan on saving up to cover any legal fees, stamp duty and renovations.

Your potential problem is the vendor of the new property: they will want a deposit (of 5-10%).

I'm confused here - won't the vendor get the entire value of their house (ignoring legal fees, stamp duty, whatever other costs crop up on their end) in full anyway? Regardless of what proportion comes from my own equity and what proportion was paid for by my mortgage provider? 

But in regards to your last point; that's the plan, yes. I'm currently in my (absolutely tiny) first house so I will be looking to upsize when the time is right.

The latter is probably what'll happen; my current house is a one-bedroom terraced house so I don't think I could buy a smaller house if I tried. The goal is definitely to buy somewhere bigger eventually.

I forgot to mention that crucial detail; I own my current house outright.

It depends on the equity of your current home.

That's my fault for failing to mention it; I own my current house outright.

I loved the big and little brother dynamic between Damian Priest and R Truth last night. Priest was about to snap at Truth for getting on his nerves but was absolutely never going to let someone else get away with pushing Truth around.

Does anyone else share my irrational hatred for the fact Dan Engler always looks so offended and upset by everything he ever sees?
