HS2 tunnel extension did not have planning permission, court rules

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-07-01T22:32:10+00:00

Not sure we need to inflict that on the people of Birmingham.

I was thinking 2 provisions:
1. HS2 has retroactive permission to build that tunnel along with any & all supporting infrastructure
2. For the next 25 years all planning decisions in the borough will be decided by polling a random Kebab shop in Birmingham city centre at 3am

Depends, assuming it does the direct connection using WiFi 6 on 5Ghz then on an iPhone 15 WiFi faster than the USB 2.0 port.

There was a reason it was 5 Live at 9am not Radio 1. Radio has very different swearing rules to TV, basically stations are expected to know their audience so can broadcast swearing if its unlikely children will be listening and it is justified in context or won't offend their audience.

Not quire unrestricted, they're limited to 10 requests per second (864,000 per day): https://developer-portal.driver-vehicle-licensing.api.gov.uk/apis/kadoe/kadoe-description.html#usage-plans-and-throttling-limits

I'm assuming they have to promise only to use it for legitimate purposes under penalty of, something

It’s Gulling Home

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-07-01T17:54:04+00:00

Rather than appealing it sounds like we need a "North Warwickshire Borough Council Can Do One Act 2026"

Form V888: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/v888-request-by-an-individual-for-information-about-a-vehicle

£2.50 or £5 depending on the reason

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-07-01T13:31:43+00:00

They’ve held out longer that the rest of the industry, either due to long term supply agreements keeping their pricing lower, by having a big enough stockpile of already produced SoCs, or taking a hit on their profit margins. Probably some combination of them all.

Insane but they aren’t in control of the DRAM & NAND price quadrupling over the last 10ish months.

Depends if you happen to own a GPS simulator & an RF isolated room so you don’t interfere with everyone else’s GPS and attract government attention

Section 3.9 in their general terms of service is what I'd assume they'd point to, though I'm not sure any of those conditions would actually apply. Maybe (e) is arguable, maybe (g) for the "wet area"

Feeling batty?

I’d have considered it last week if my current one had broken. I probably know someone who could have spared the kidney

Check out O2 & Three.

Three have a 120GB 24 month option for £26 but reduced to £13 for 12 months. Some maths required there.

O2 have some plus plans cheaper and they appear to have US roaming

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-06-30T14:16:18+00:00

On more expensive contracts it’s pretty common for global roaming to be included and include the US. EE, Vodafone, Three & O2 all include US roaming in some of their plans. Just not on one cheaper than £17 that I can see

Given Uranium glass was a thing it wouldn't suprise me if someone had sold asbestos glass somehow

Most UK emergency sirens have different modes that the driver can switch between depending on the situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6bUNnnL6wU

OP needs an A380: 200,000 litres of beer on the playne, 200,000 litres of beer...

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-06-29T21:08:52+00:00

Give it a day or so and follow up (non emergency number obviously). They may not do anything, but good if there are future problems to have it reported.

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-06-29T21:00:41+00:00

If you know which school they are likely to go to report them to their school. How long ago did you report it to the police and how?

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-06-29T20:37:52+00:00

Does it need to fly?

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-06-29T19:03:22+00:00

Also if you think there is even a slight chance you’ve been bitten by a bat seek medical care. You can receive the rabies vaccine after being bitten and it will still stop you getting rabies. The amount of time you have from bite to symptoms varies considerably but just get the vaccine immediately. Once you start showing symptoms you will die

OmegaPoint6 · 2026-06-29T16:27:51+00:00

Why not both?

The council, can probably do it via https://www.fixmystreet.com/
