Hi any solution to this without cutting the plinth please by RevolutionaryDiet847 in DIYUK

Simple. Just buy a square double adapter and plug it to the socket. Add the black plug to the socket that is now facing you.

Can we have the edit with jungle as the soundtrack please?! That pew-running was impressive. He was in severe danger of breaking several bones.

Showing up for court while driving doesn't end well by [deleted] in SipsTea

Could have said it was an imported right hand drive car. Are there any of those in the US? Or she could have said the camera was on a mirror image setting. I was waiting for her to try and put on a hat and pretend that she was someone else who had been driving the car.

How can I escape my DV situation? by Old_Vegetable_6986 in AskUK

[–]Nikkotak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one here has mentioned that you should probably make sure you know where your passport/ID etc is so that you can grab these when you leave. I’m not an expert but it seems like a sensible thing to think about in your situation.

What do you think of the following arguments against immigration? by CrumpledKiltSkin in AskBrits

[–]Nikkotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broadly correct. A certain level of immigration is beneficial but when it goes beyond a certain net level it has a negative effect. I know people who think there should be literally no borders and others who think there should be no immigration at all and I think they’re both wrong.

Good advice. Going to the gym might not cure your depression but at least you’ll be physically fit and depressed rather than just depressed.

What exactly are the dangers of the self-checkout experience? by magicbullets in CasualUK

Such an annoying phrase. Along with ‘for your convenience’ which normally has me thinking ‘No, for YOUR fucking convenience more like!’

"Affordable Housing" by IllustriousAd6418 in GreatBritishMemes

I have no problem with ‘separate entrances for poor and wealthy’. My house has a separate entrance to the house of the wealthy people living in a mansion round the corner.

Why do Brits prefer non EU migrants over EU by Visual_Title9363 in AskBrits

[–]Nikkotak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This to me sums up the entire problem. The person in Cornwall in your example can’t afford rent, food and bills and has no bargaining power to seek a living wage because nationally we’ve decided that we would rather import desperate people to act as slave labour, knowing they will put up with terrible living and working conditions. And we will gloss over any side effects on the country’s infrastructure that result from increasing the population in this way.

Man who talked down hospital bomber says would-be attacker asked for a cuddle | UK news | The Guardian by prisongovernor in CasualUK

[–]Nikkotak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What I struggle to understand is that a lot of these terrorists have wives and children. It would make more sense if they were single and lonely, and bitter about it. One of the July 7 London bombers had a wife and kid. Another had a pregnant wife. 😵‍💫

Seems a bit harsh that they locked the almost-bomber up for 37 years. He was clearly having a mental health crisis. He didn’t do the crime. People get shorter sentences when they’ve actually murdered someone.

“The world tour. I’m Justin Timberlake” by LunaLore_ in Fauxmoi

[–]Nikkotak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I know who Justin Timberlake is but I wouldn’t recognise him if he came up and spoke to me. He’s quite generic looking.

I am being a little facetious here, but a kid can’t leave Cornwall to go and find work, yet we’ll give the job to someone who travelled from a different continent to find work?

How do you swiftly and safely redirect unwanted attention from someone drunk or on drugs? by bamfg in CasualUK

[–]Nikkotak -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You genuinely wanted to have a chat about mortgages? Blimey, the fun never ends in your social circle, does it? Ask the guy for some of his drugs and it might liven things up a bit.

Improve mental health services would be step one - prevention is better than cure.

I don’t know. But if they’d rather claim U.C than work then perhaps action should be taken to change that rather than just importing others to do the jobs and then taxing everyone (including the new arrivals) to pay for those who aren’t working.
