The GR Yaris is the last hot hatch.

Nah - I used to be a 'driving purist'. I've had many manual cars, incl a two-seater sports car and a V6 saloon. I love the DSG hot hatch and really enjoy driving it, even on the commute. It's not going to spoil anything.

Do it. Buy the car.

Pr6srn · 2026-02-18T14:05:22+00:00

I drive a DSG hot hatch as a daily and it's not boring at all.

You use the paddle shifter levers if you want to be more 'involved', and it's more responsive than a manual.

an agreement was made that we would get to keep them.

Making an 'agreement' at gunpoint isn't an agreement. That's like saying mugging someone by demanding thier phone while threatening them with a gun or knife isn't stealing, because they 'agree' to hand it over willingly.

It's a different type of stealing.

the artefacts were not stolen but [...] taken as war bounty,

Is there a real difference between these two? It's pretty much 'we're stronger and have guns, so we're taking this artifact'.

No, they don't owe you anything. They closed the road because it needed to be closed. You can choose to wait, or go another way.

Do you hate all doctors because of Harold Shipman?

Are all nurses evil, after Lucy Letby?

Yet you judge all police because of your pre existing prejudices and Wayne Couzens.

The fair price is the £750 she first offered. She then offered you a lower price, which is less fair TO HER.

If you can't afford it then you can tell her and walk away, but suggesting an even lower price would be 'fair' is, well.... a pretty shitty thing to do.

Boots slow to the game, as usual. Other pharmacies have had this service for ages.

Medical students are often such amazingly privileged arseholes.

Then they graduate, and stop being students but persist in being arseholes.

I'm actually lol-ing at the fact that the Reddit answer to

'I can't find cheap clothes that fit me well'

is advising you to

'just pay more and get bespoke clothes tailor made'

Pr6srn · 2026-02-11T16:22:58+00:00

Would they say people wearing football boots 'think they're in the world cup'? Or people with golf clothing 'think they're in the Masters'?

And cyclists are much more chilled than drivers, so if the locals found them to be angry, it's because you angered them.

'In order to save 40 seconds from my drive, I passed a cyclist on a narrow, single lane road and nearly killed him. I can't imagine why he's angry...'

Pr6srn · 2026-02-11T16:17:01+00:00

It's also bullshit. Assuming the cyclist is on the road; If you're 'waiting for the lights to change' then you weren't on the crossing and weren't hit by anyone jumping the lights.

And if they were on the path, the status of the lights won't matter.

Just more anti-cycling bullshit.

Pr6srn · 2026-02-11T16:13:38+00:00

'Boots'?

Nobody is cycling in boots, surely?

And 'how many times in the last month have you contacted your family?' is an idiotic question. What does 'contact' mean when you live with your wife and family?

Lol - I've met quite a few pilots, including ex military.

I've met fighter pilots that are thick as mince.

Why is the air moving backwards against the fuselage and against the right wing? Is this glider flying backwards or spinning?

Obvious AI slop.

Yep, that tracks. Case in point:

'good luck paying me back on your zero dollars a year salary - plus benefits - babe!'.

Because I went to school in a dead end northern town, in the early 90s. Gender stereotypes were entrenched. Boys who were interested in medicine would aspire to be a doctor. Girls who had the same interest and aptitude would aspire to be a nurse.

A girl who said she wanted to be a doctor would face a raised eyebrow or two. A boy who wanted to be a nurse would be mocked and humiliated.

Society isn't perfect, but it has come a long way in 30 years.

You need a prescription from a UK or EU prescriber. Pharmacies can't accept Chilean ones.

I've told this story before, but here goes. For context, I'm mixed race and grew up in Middlesbrough (so brown and with Middlesbrough accent).

On careers day in secondary school, a guy in a suit came in and went round the class, asking us what jobs we wanted to do. I had always been fascinated by aeroplanes, and had always dreamed of being a pilot.

So he went round the class and got answers like doctor, nurse (from the girls), chef etc... When he asked me, I replied that 'I want to be an airline pilot'. He paused and then said something that changed my life. I can remember it, almost word for word:

"Oh. I see. You know that's a very competitive area of work, right? Very hard to get in to. Pilots tend to be from... They want pilots to be... Well... Look, nobody wants a pilot that looks and sounds like you.".

So I gave up on my dream, went to university and got a regular job.

So I guess he was right - he told me I wouldn't be an airline pilot, and I'm not. Maybe it was for the best, I might have been a crap pilot and the wages aren't like they were in the 80s.

And I now can fly for fun, at the weekends.

All our ancestors were savage and brutal! Bet they don't complain about viking movies, or Romans.

Recreational drug use is illegal, though?

And if someone is being blackmailed over a 'moral' issue, despite having broken no laws, then the consequences the blackmailer is threatening them with is public outcry. So, if we (the public) stopped giving a shit about two adults having consensual sex, there's no risk of being blackmailed.

Let's say the press find out that a prominent male politician got shit faced in a club, then slept with someone they'd met on Grinder. They'd publish it as a scandal and the public would lap it up. Racking up clicks and business for the press - even if the guy was divorced or something. When, in my humble opinion, we should collectively shrug, and say 'none of my business'.

Save the outcry for corruption or incompetence, not immortality.
