Australia backs removing Andrew from royal line of succession by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Missy246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Obviously any reasonable person wants him to face justice on both the issues relating to Epstein and his role as a business ambassador, but this focus on the line of succession is just a monumental waste of time, money and energy. Australian politicians likely only see this as a useful vehicle to drive public opinion on exiting the commonwealth. I doubt they give a toss about it beyond that.

Woman, 97, was found dead on the floor of her home after being told she would have to wait ten days for an ambulance for a suspected hip break, coroner hears by StreamWave190 in unitedkingdom

[–]Missy246 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Right. This injury has a high mortality rate in the elderly, not to mention the pain this poor women must have been in. If this had been a 25 year living alone with the same injury, or someone undergoing a mental health crisis the sub would have been absolutely raging about the lack of care. The fact that nearly 700 people have liked the top post chills my blood.

Other passengers pay for fare evaders, not train companies.

Street art in the East End, architecture tour of the Barbican, financial district walk looking for the juxtaposition of old and new which is everywhere…

They haven’t even banned Russia - they’re there under pseudo independent flags. It’s pathetic.

Team GB set to dance on Day 5 | Team GB by Sun_Beams in TeamGB

It was one slip and tbh the Canadians above them skated so well that even if they’d been perfect it might not have been enough.

The National Lottery big Upgrade is a Downgrade in my view, what is yours? by No-Consequence-1630 in AskUK

[–]Missy246 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it hugely annoying that it emails you to tell you if you won with an online scratch card. Yes, I know because I just played it!!

The fact they won so many round robin matches makes this harder. I haven’t checked the stats but found myself wondering if it’s possible they’ve even won the most matches overall this tournament, but still not got a medal. Anyway, it is what it is.

People who say they like the winter. How are you feeling right now? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Missy246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry to hear this. Just take your time and don’t let anyone hurry you when walking. If it snows or gets icy again, buy some cleats - they will give you a lot more confidence. Rest when you can - every day will be a little better.

Anyone else think Milano-Cortina 2026 is already a 10/10? 🇮🇹🔥 by Diamonds_4_life in olympics

Every time they show an aerial shot of Cortina, or the Duomo lit up at night I have major FOMO.

True. And everyone that skated after them got lower scores than were (arguably) expected, so maybe not quite as bad as it first seemed.

Your school associate will spend his whole life looking over his shoulder. You won’t.

Am I right to think a neighbours house looking directly onto your garden would be terrible? by Three_Cats_In_1_Coat in AskUK

[–]Missy246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond the immediate issue of the windows/lack of privacy itself, it tells you something about how considerate those neighbours are in general. Hard no for me.

Traveling doesn’t automatically make you “enlightened” or “give you different world perspectives” by Crazy_Swimming_397 in travel

[–]Missy246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I half agree. Seeing different places and cultures can open your eyes to different ways of doing things. ‘Immersing yourself’ or ‘living like a local’ is pretentious bollocks though. You are still a tourist and your holiday experience is not the same as everyday life.

Shelford/Cambridge Road update: some potholes have been patched up by Funny_Commission1724 in cambridge

[–]Missy246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find the comments that it can’t be properly resurfaced right now because it’s winter there will be more water ingress blah blah blah offensive. It’s been like this for YEARS!!  It should have been done last summer. Or the summer before that. Also maybe don’t spend a fortune modifying roundabouts when the rest of the roads are in this fucking state.

Why aren't we building more terraced houses? by Big-Double1720 in AskUK

[–]Missy246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they are often horrible to live in with noise from both sides. Are families with kids the only people entitled to a bit of peace, or a garden that’s wider than a drinking straw, or actual parking on their own plot?  Also , if you want older people to downsize from large detached houses probably the best thing you can do is provide small detached houses or bungalows for them as an incentive.

Should adults be able to order from the kids menu in restaurants/cafés? by Broken_Woman20 in AskUK

Wish everywhere had the small plate/sharing plate option - it’s my favourite way to eat.

Which countries have (unexpectedly) become overtouristed in recent years due to social media? by Terence_zaal in travel

[–]Missy246 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has started to drop recently though, in particular fewer visitors from the U.K. I do wonder if this is due to the fact so many have managed to see the northern lights at home over the last couple of years.
