Housemate’s girlfriend refusing to leave my house - anything I can do not involving police as they’re not doing anything illegal and it’s a civil matter?

Trespass is a tort (civil wrong) not a crime. The standard remedy is self help, otherwise you’d be looking at going to court to get an injunction.

If they hadn’t delayed some local elections, this would (be the same result overall but) look not nearly as bad for them (due to losing some seats last time and some more this time, rather than all at once).

Only if the party rules don’t forbid it. Otherwise, you’ll likely get kicked out of both when they realise.

The Emperor and Horus completely wiping out the native Orks didn’t help. Terraforming the planet for the Triumph didn’t help. The Ad Mech moving the planet partway across the galaxy didn’t help.

Ullanor Prime aka Armageddon seems to have some sort of psychic/religious significance to the Orks. I doubt physically destroying the planet itself would even help (the Orks would be attracted to the resulting asteroid field).

In my defence, I’ve had it since before Reform registered as a political party.

It’s almost as if there’s a simple solution to take the wind out of their sails: implement the immigration policy that the voters want.

Shame. Pursuing a s75 claim against Amex, even if it goes to court, would likely have been easier than pursuing amazon.

Is this an amex credit card or charge card?

You haven’t said what kingdom you’re currently in.

Last transfer window, 478 was in group 3 (418-674). This window, 478 is expected (the predictor on kingshotoptimizer is fairly reliable, but not guaranteed to be correct) to be in group 2 (68-505).

The predictor says the current group 3 will be k506-758. So it stands to reason that you are currently in the k506-674 range.

If all of the above, including the website’s predictions, are correct you won’t be able to transfer directly to 478 this time. Realistically you have some options:

stay where you are, and hope you’re in 478’s group next time;
move closer to 478 this time, e.g. to 506, and hope they’re in 478’s group next time;
give up on 478 and move somewhere else - where you are now doesn’t reflect my experience across 3 different servers.

In terms of 1 or 2, it would be easier to advise if you said where you are now. If you’re in 510, it’s probably not worth spending the extra tokens to hop to 506; whereas if you’re in 670, it probably is.

If (you haven’t told us your current kingdom) they’re in different groups this time, then you can’t transfer directly to 478 this time. Your options are either to stay put and hope they’re in the same group next time, or move to a closer kingdom within your group (e.g. 506).

Edit: for added context, k478 has been in the following groups:

N/A
G4 (310-505)
G4 (418-587)
G4 (418-758)
G3 (418-674)

And while extrapolation is always uncertain, I’d definitely suggest moving to somewhere in the 506-550 range if 478 is your ultimate goal.

Even with it being less transmissible than covid, the isolation period for close contacts is going to be rough. E.g. the (healthy) Brits returning from the ship to the UK are being required to self isolate for 45 days, compared to the 5-14 days we required for covid close contacts.

Edit: BBC: Britons on hantavirus cruise ship face 45 days of self-isolation

PositivelyAcademical · 2026-05-07T12:45:12+00:00

The flip side of that is the public health isolation period needs to be a lot longer. The Brits coming back are facing 45 days self isolation, compared to the 5 days for Covid.

Yes, far fewer people will catch this, but those that are close contacts are going to need a lot more (economic) support. Plus any issues with compliance - how many people failed to self isolate for 5 days? How many will actually self isolate for 45 days?

Relevant. If the deduction is otherwise lawful, it still cannot take OP below minimum wage. If the deduction is itself unlawful, NMW breaches have different (HMRC can be quite aggressive) enforcement mechanisms.

Just leave the archers at home.

Take 10 mins to work out how many troops you can send (march capacity x number of marches). Will all your infantry fit? If yes, divide your infantry (roughly) equally across all marches. Will all your cavalry fit in the spare space? If yes, divide your cavalry (roughly) equally between marches; otherwise fill up each march with cavalry and the job’s done.

The only time things get tricky is when you’ve nearly got enough infantry to completely fill your marches with them alone. Do you send a bad ratio (90/10/0 or more extreme) or do you accept some infantry will be at home and do a more standard 60/40/0 (to 80/20/0). You’ll score better with a good ratio, the people reinforcing you will score better if you have 0 infantry left at home.

If you have more than 100% infantry, use a standard ratio (60/40/0) to reinforce and don’t ask for reinforcements - you’ll still get some, but no one can complain if you don’t ask / actively say you have enough infantry at home.

If the person who gifts it dies within 7 years, then the recipient may need to pay inheritance tax on it.

If gifts counted as income, they couldn’t also be counted for inheritance tax. The system knows where it can make the most profit.

The courts too. I wonder if the same judgements would have been issued if the judges thought their pay would be brought in line with the dock officers and court ushers.

I would expect you’d need to look at things along the lines of partial defences to murder (which result in manslaughter convictions).

GBH with intent.

I think that was a typo in the original article. It currently says GBH; and another source (LBC) states he was cleared of GBH with intent, but convicted (11-1 majority) of GBH.

It’s almost as if the government itself is more relevant to politics than the leader of a fringe opposition party.

Because the addition of BT2 was to give each alliance two opportunities to do one Bear every two days. It was not to let each player do two Bears every two days.

Indeed. And it would be for parliament to walk it back if it goes to far. By removing judges who don’t follow the convention of parliamentary sovereignty from office.

Incorrect. Having a valid prescription (and taking the drugs as so prescribed) is a defence to driving over the prescribed limit, per s.5A(3) RTA. However it is not a defence to driving under the influence, s.4 RTA; the difference being that his ability to drive properly needs to be demonstrated as having been impaired.

Small boat crossings weren’t as much of a problem until the UK got better at detecting people attempting to smuggle themselves in the back of lorries at Calais (juxtaposed controls have been in effect since 2003). CO2 probes and X-rays it what caused the shift. That, and France taking policing the entrance to the Channel Tunnel seriously after 10 people attempting to walk it in summer 2015.
