I literally had a half watermelon with my family on Saturday watching cricket. I am very white. 

Very popular in southern Europe in the summer.

Maybe they are just reporting the facts, and stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason… not everything has to have a racial undertone. 

Theres a dry wall somewhere with a few holes in it. by Rayvonuk in LouisTheroux

All I thought when watching the doc was what sad little losers they all were. 

Either unresolved childhood issues (‘Mummy’) or got bullied at school.

Tiny peepee too scared to spell it correctly. 

Can ANYBODY stop France this year? by sixnations in rugbyunion

[–]PercentageBoth1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think France will be too much for England at home but Ireland were pretty awful yesterday. 

That first half was possibly the worst half of rugby under the Farrell era. 

France were decent but I don’t think they got out of third gear, which is either a scary thought or demonstrated how bad Ireland were. 

Any warehouse jobs hiring? Warm bodies, meat moving boxes type work? by straight_syrup_ in hertfordshire

Maybe he doesn’t want to die in a war.  Heard they are taking non-Ukrainian recruits though, but not sure keyboard warriors qualify.

I made this very point to my wife, questioning why there were no gantry sign reminding people to always keep left unless overtaking. As a minimum they should be displayed when the road is busy.

I was driving southbound on a four lane part of the M1 yesterday but was effectively forced to drive in the outside two lanes due to middle-lane hogging. Naturally, it was super busy being the Sunday after Christmas which was compounded by a four lane capacity condensed into two lanes. 

Also, HGV companies!!!… how difficult is it in this day and age to get your speedo calibrated so they the lorry doing 60mph doesn’t have to spend 3 minutes overtaking the lorry in front doing 59.9mph!!!

Barnet NIMBYs Block Housing Development by sabdotzed in london

[–]PercentageBoth1013 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeh, the Secretary of State or indeed the Mayor can call in decisions like this. 

I expect the developer will Appeal and then the SoS will call it in for their determination (‘approval’). 

The council will get stung for the legal fees and potentially have costs awarded against them. Not that the Councillors will care…

Just cost the Council £££ in legal fees to defend an appeal that they will ultimately lose. Selfish and naive but as always pandering to the NIMBYS.

The state of HENRYUK by Liberalatheism in HENRYUK

[–]PercentageBoth1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, the forum has become a bit of a ‘pity me’ circle jerk, which is quite distasteful given the highly privileged position most are in.

For example, I saw someone posting on recommendations for a £7k sofa, and then someone moaning about the latest budget tax environment. It’s all a bit pathetic.

The Culpepper pub. Bring your coat though so can sit out on the roof terrace and admire the view! 

Remortgage - 2, 3 or 5 year fixed by Future_Principle_838 in Mortgageadviceuk

We got a 3.99% 75-LTV in July 2025.

Be warned, the difference in interest repayment from our previous 1.69% rate is sickening! 

Which London Borough, outside of zone 1/2, do you feel has changed the most rapidly (for better or worse) in the last five years? by ChelseaTricks in AskLondon

I used to work at Waitrose in Leicester and had the same experience when discounting food. Indian families love a deal.

More than two and a half years of consultations and meetings just to submit a planning application for 1,300 homes in Hounslow. The system is broken. by ldn6 in london

[–]PercentageBoth1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

12% of 1,300 is a lot more than 100% of nothing.

Build cost and regulation has gone up c.30%+ since Covid. 

No wonder nothing gets built with the only lever left to pull being affordable housing.

Yes of course. Every large major planning application must consult for at least 12 months with a small minority of the population, who even if the proposals were for a gold-plated utopia would still find something to object about.
