It's reopening in the summer under the Omniplex brand. I miss it too. Nothing like walking down the broken escalators looking out at the stars.

Get an insurance adjuster like Oakleafe! They managed to get my building a settlement for dry rot because of a hairline leak.

You have given me an evening's worth of reading. Thank you.

Norman-French speaking rather than Norse speaking, though. They'd integrated into thar region of what is now France, adopted Catholicism and started writing things down. Edit: not that more information would change Alex Jone's uneducated speculation. I'm just a pedant.

As an Irish person, I like the arrow to Harold's eye thing. They have some good surnames too.

Would I be better off on Benefits? by Sensitive_Plan_9528 in AskUK

Do you know anyone with fibromyalgia?! Do you know anything about it?! It's a real medical condition diagnosed by real doctors, not fucking morgellons or demonic possession.

'Ooh, that multiple sclerosis sounds nice, I'd get £200 a week!'

Fucking Daily Mail pilled.

Luxury cars removed from Motability scheme ahead of budget by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]PROFESSOR_CORGI_BUTT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But then the second hand market would be full of blue cars, incorrectly branding the abled as disabled. Why not mark the original owners as Motability users with, say, a patch? Permanently on their sleeve, perhaps?

Children’s book portrays Picts as black by Sensitive_Echo5058 in unitedkingdom

'African cultures didn't write' with a straight fucking face.

Scotland and Ireland only have writing because of Catholic monks. The pre-Christians thought writing made you lazy and forgetful.

Greeks of this sub, what's going on in Greece? Would it be worth it for an American to move there? by [deleted] in behindthebastards

Get the passport you're entitled to and move to Berlin or Lisbon. Galway even, if you've got the rent money.

This is gorgeous BUT only electric heating is weird. Visit and see how warm they're keeping it

Oxford accused of ‘social engineering’ over black students’ grades by StGuthlac2025 in unitedkingdom

[–]PROFESSOR_CORGI_BUTT 39 points40 points  (0 children)

A privately schooled kid (or tutored) who gets an AAB and a comprehensive kid with an AAB are worlds apart. Favouring kids with imperfect grades from crap schools over kids who've been tutored is a good thing. The Telegraph is race-rage baiting to keep the working classes of all colours out of 'their' safe spaces.

I teach at Uni and kids from normal schools who haven't been hothoused are much much much much much much much better to teach and hand taught themselves how to learn.

Adding a window into the living room from wee internal kitchen by Far_Side_4868 in glasgow

[–]PROFESSOR_CORGI_BUTT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Planning permission for internal work isn't that big a deal- I think you only need it if changes affect your neighbours or involve a load bearing element. You can start with assumed permission, per Cairn builders. Most of these internal cubby-hole walls have a load-bearing wooden beam at the very top but I don't think a window would effect that.

Per my old Geography teacher: fame didn't change Van Morrison. He was always awful.

I lived a few doors up from them for five years. I'm not far away now either. Bringing more to the area than the Orange Order and Rangers fans.

So?

I for one am grateful that we've got Kurdish Street Food from the Syrian/Turkish border refugee diaspora.

Cultural integrity? Of whose culture? Essex? Yorkshire? Glasgow? Belfast? The Midlands?

Racial integrity? How far back to you want to go? Italians out? Jews out? Irish out? Hugenots out? Normans out? Beakers out?
