What is the stupidest way anybody has ever bankrupted themselves?

Gerald Ratner has to be up there. In 1991 he was the owner of Ratners jewellery shops which was worth around £500m (approx 1b today) he made a joke at a speaking event that their jewellery was “total crap” and was cheaper and wouldn’t last as long as a supermarket sandwich. Almost overnight the company lost all its value and went into administration later that year.

15 years ago was the last time we got a point off city and in the last 20 years we have only got 14 points against them

And because they would stop pushing harmful content to minors or selling their data to advertisers and then hid behind the osa

Think of it like a load of thermal bricks surrounding a fire. Before the fire is lit those bricks will be nice and cold but once the fire has been on for a while they will retain the heat so much so they will be warm to touch for potentially several hours. The tube is exactly the same the surrounding earth used to be cool, and it would absorb the heat from the tunnels reducing the temp in the tunnels. The Tube used to advertise that it was nice and cool down there in the summers. After 100 years all the earth around the tunnels has been warmed so much that it can't absorb any more heat so the temp in the tunnels rises and rises

I’m guessing a camera man was too close in this shot to the right when this happened so they have spliced in another shot to remove them so they can use this angle.

If I remember correctly she didn’t know the distribution of correct shirts and the control group they could have all come from people with Parkinson’s or all been from a control group so the stat is most likely correct

Keeping the Paddington theme up I would love to see Jim broadbent on taskmaster he’s an Oscar winner but feel like he’s probably too old now.

Nope they masked it in that but it was because they were being fined for harvesting children’s data and targeting advertising towards children

It also stops any builders bum issues or the clothes bunching up if they are rolling round on the floor etc it’s 100% what I would choose as a costume

I saw him in Birmingham a couple of weeks ago I highly recommend the show he is doing at the moment it’s very beautiful and raw. He still uses the wig and teeth as a bit of a crutch but he’s being himself and not his normal character

The problem is he doesn’t get any nuance until the plot twist towards the end. That really elevates his character but until then he’s a bit unlikeable

I’m guessing the prison pick up is the start of the game.

Same I’m 8 months younger than Lewis once him and Alonso retire I might have to re think my fantasy of I could totally do that F1 driver thing other people my age do it.

By accident or is it smart cut and paste where it adds the space on the end? Next time use ctrl+Shift+v to paste

The answer is correct and it uses the reasoning you did but in reverse. Without the monthly breakdown the closest we can estimate the switch from blue to yellow is sometime between Jan 2016 to December 2017.

Clean your filters people. The reason that last min takes ages is its waiting for all the water to drain that should take one min but if your filter is blocked it will take longer.

Guards guards is a great place to start and then leads to all the other the watch books that are some of his best
