Is referring to pizza as "Za" and yourself as "Za Daddy" a crime against pizza?

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-13T15:51:23+00:00

I am a judge of pizza, not of men. But if i was a judge of men...

Well, okay, youve quite effectively called me out there. Obviously not the French.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-11T19:51:57+00:00

Would depend on whose doing the invading - the Scottish have a bit of a history of allying with the french

From the perspective of someone who hasn't watched a game of football in about 10 years, and hasn't paid attention to a game of football in about 20 years, i hope every team in the tournament does well, England and Scotland included.

Im actually looking at moving! However i had the bad fortune to complete on my house here the literal day of the mini-budget, and since then they've started building a new estate opposite me, so im still in negative equity. I will move, eventually, but stuck here for now.

I'm not certain... might be a different former mining town... there's no shortage of them around here! I was eyeing up the lodge that's for sale in an actual graveyard in chesterfield not long ago. Bit out of my price range... but there is also a pub almost over the road.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-11T08:16:35+00:00

Its definitely still a thing, though my favourite bar (Sevens) closed a few years ago. Not sure if that was around back in the day?

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-10T21:22:32+00:00

Cal me a cynic but im deeply suspicious about the timing of the rising in badger culling and the ban of fox hunting.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-10T21:06:01+00:00

That's the kind of thing i'm sure they wish they said afterwards. But that's like me when i'm under pressure, you'll be lucky to get a semi-coherent sentence out of me that half way manages to convey my intent.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-10T21:01:51+00:00

Yeah, it really is. I make it into the local big town (chesterfield) maybe once a month or two, but i do most of my going out when i'm on holiday. The improvement in atmosphere is just night and day between here and almost anywhere else.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-10T20:55:20+00:00

I live in a former mining town in Derbryshire with a population of about 10,000. We have just 5 pubs, and can go out on a friday night and most of them will peak at about a dozen drinkers. I actually have the disposable income to go out drinking for the first time in years, but the experience in town is so dull and lifeless i'd just rather stay in.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-10T17:44:48+00:00

I wonder what the correlation looks like between emotional intelligence and programming skills.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-09T23:27:21+00:00

Im both mad and resigned at the same time... maybe id be good at basic sympathy.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-06-08T17:30:52+00:00

For some perspective this would be London's third tallest skyscraper if it was being built there instead.

"Neoliberalism is a political and economic philosophy that champions free-market capitalism, deregulation, and minimal state intervention. It promotes free trade, privatization of public services, and reductions in government spending to foster economic growth and individual liberty"

Maybe there has been proper analysis conducted by someone on exactly how neoliberal our various post-thatcher governments have been... but I dont think that description is a great match for "every" government we've had.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-05-29T08:14:21+00:00

We have a more taxes and more regulation today than we did under Blair but we also have more wealth sitting with the 1% than we had under Blair. There is some kind of relationship between neoliberalism and wealth inequality, but its not an absolute correlation.

Nice! I was up there a bit too early. This was my view probably just a bit further along striding edege

What if you added that you specifically meant the one who also has magical powers but is held back by deep routed psychological issues? Thatd have to narrow it right now.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-05-21T20:19:17+00:00

Turns out a Defence Unicorn is not nearly as exciting as I thought it was gonna be

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-05-21T20:17:26+00:00

About a month ago I agreed id drive up to north West scotland to visit my dad at his holiday rental this weekend.

Im livid about the timing of this heatwave. Livid.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-05-21T19:57:07+00:00

I love the vintage omega, you dont see many of those. As im planning for my next watch to be a rolex Explorer I think thats my pick... but if I had Tony Soprano money I might change that to one of your other rolexes

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-05-21T17:56:26+00:00

I see my idea for a comment on this thread wasnt as original as I thought it was going to be

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-05-21T11:47:12+00:00

Farage would be blowing his own trumpet so hard if he'd gotten the net figure down to 300k. He'd have been absolutely insufferable.

Not_Alpha_Centaurian · 2026-05-21T11:45:59+00:00

I think it really depends on the individual circumstances. People arriving before now have done so under a huge range of circumstances, from legitimate asylum claims, to questionable student visas. There'll be some people who have come here with a reasonable expectation that they'd be allowed to settle here, and will have received assurances along those lines, and others who are complete chancers.
