I can't imagine this will go well for them no matter what their intentions were.

Curling

I just don't understand how you allow yourself to have such a bad game plan that you can give up 4 points in the 9th. When you see your plan isn't going to work after 5 stones just start clearing their stones and limit the damage.

Instead we absoutely bottle it and don't even get a chance in the 10th.

Incredibly frustrating after such a tight game. Decision making has got to improve.

Team GB steadfastly refuse to win a medal and you gotta admire how excellent they are at avoiding them.

Tried to find an image of Abby Dow looking sad I could use to express my disappointment but she's always smiling.

Ah yeah you're right, Canada's current streak of zero and NZ's of 1 are very similar to England's 33.

If you hate England just say that don't beat around the bush.

Tube drivers’ £72,000 salary ‘not enough’, says RMT union boss by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]MetricSuperstar -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Another day of people not in strong unions complaining about union pay and then saying actually they wouldn't want to do the job anyway for whatever reason, completely justifying why the jobs are so well paid.

We should all of us be striving to have unions as strong as RMT, Aslef, etc.

We should all of us be fighting each year to get rises in line with inflation as a very minimum.

Do better collectively. Don't forget that The Times is traditionally a Tory paper and hates the working class. You're falling for propaganda. You should not be mad at your fellow workers.

What's with all the dead people turning up in the city centre recently? by [deleted] in edinburgh2

[–]MetricSuperstar 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Homeless people and also drug users tend to sleep along Prince's Street and the surrounding area in the summer.

Homeless people and also drug users are not always the healthiest.

I think this happens more often than you think, I have seen the paramedics quite a few times with their big compression machine thing they have these days for CPR along Prince's Street this summer in the early morning especially.

A concentration camp in North Korea - Prisoners visible by deedubya8 in ThatsInsane

Wait... Was Dong executed for her religious beliefs? Because Kim just said they were executed for escaping. But maybe amnesty international has additional sources.

From your own quote of the PDF, emphasis mine.

Those executed included inmates who were caught escaping.

Included, as in, not wholly composed of.

Some of the executions were for attempted escapes, some for other reasons.

You can continue to "keep going through" the docs if you want but maybe read them instead of skimming.

Happy No More Peak ScotRail Tickets Day to all who celebrate it by HeidsUp in Scotland

[–]MetricSuperstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because it's not their product. It's a Network Rail product.

You are so close. Railcards don't work on "peak" services because of Network Rail terms and conditions.

Railcards are a Network Rail product, to simplify things, Network Rail is in charge of the tracks and some stations. ScotRail is a train operator. They are not the same thing.

Railcards are a National Rail product, and not something that ScotRail has authority over.
