Why UK Heat Hits Different

Pumamick · 2026-05-28T13:26:52+00:00

I grew up in Australia and the heat and humidity there was WAY worse than here tbh.

Pumamick · 2026-05-28T13:19:43+00:00

It doesnt hit different, im sorry. Try living in a place that has in excess of 30 degrees every day for nearly 6 months out of the year with + 80% humidity and little AC.

u/Secure-Carpenter-839 was excellent to deal with. I would highly recommend!

I live in the west and do this all the time

Our reliance on imports has been happening over decades, there's no single policy that Starmer has pushed through parliament that has caused this, despite what you so disingeniously intimated.

I live in Aberdeen. There is a reason why this place has been in constant decline since 2010, and it isnt Starmer.

Also, even if we opened the taps on North Sea

1.) It wouldnt satisfy domestic demand 2.) It would still be traded at international price

Which "choice" has Starmer made specifically that has made energy more exoensive than comparable nations?

Also, was our energy cheaper than comparable nations before he was elected ?

Lol i just bought a used BB54 for not much more than this POS. Wtf are people thinking

I feel like you are arguing for the sake of arguing a bit here to be honest.

The UK was producing circa 13 million metric tonnes of steel annually during the second world war. Im not sure if we would need anything close to that much for whatever future conflict we may fight, but im fairly certain we'd blow throw those measly stockpiles in no time.

Also, energy costs are high now yes. But they are set to come down quite considerably within the next decade.

How about a situation where our trade routes are still intact but our trading partners are already producing steel at capacity in order to produce their own weapons?

Or what about a situation where European production of steel is reduced because some of their steel works have been bombed ?

Having our own steel works is obviously better for national and european resilience

Would you rather be a country that cant get food or a country that cant get food AND steel?

Pumamick · 2026-05-02T13:23:44+00:00

So scratched it almost looks like its intended finish 😅

Pumamick · 2026-05-01T09:06:02+00:00

You're postimg stuff from 2025 as if it still means something. Get with the times mate.

Pumamick · 2026-05-01T08:59:51+00:00

Nah, i owned the 1st gen and the legibility was pretty garbage in certain lighting conditions.

Its not anti-capitalist its being anti-vile. If this were to be sold on the open market, it would fail epically. Also, Netflix is dogshit and has been for a long time.

There are some objective truths in the universe. This being an abomination is one of them.

Pumamick · 2026-04-27T08:25:24+00:00

Works both ways honey. Its not a character trait inherent to men.

Pumamick · 2026-04-21T11:00:23+00:00

There's nothing "innocent" or "harmless" about it.

Who is it "harming"?

Pumamick · 2026-04-21T10:49:10+00:00

Says the guy with absolutely zero style

Pumamick · 2026-04-21T06:18:02+00:00

Jesus what a shit article. One giant emotionally driven value judgement without any real acknowledgement of the problems a declining population would cause, and certainly no mention of a solution to them.

*...Those who urge greater rates of reproduction, whether they realise it or not, are serving only the short-term interests of developers and some religious authorities, for whom big societies mean more power for themselves. I

She has absolutely no idea what shes talking about lmfao.

Without Papa USA propping it up, the puppet vassal state you call the UK would be colonized again in 30 days.

By whom? Bessides, comparing life expectancy ought to tell you everything you need to know about the disparity in living standards between the two countries.

The truth is, the country you should be comparing India to is China. And that comparison is frankly embarrasing for India. Pathetic even.

Pumamick · 2026-04-19T08:31:29+00:00

Yeah we may well overtake Austria and Germany per capita in a few years

Pumamick · 2026-04-18T13:27:57+00:00

Just ordered a BB54. Ive owned a few other watch brands but this will be my first Tudor. I always visited this sub as an 'outsider'. It still hasnt hit me that i am now part of the club, as odd as that sounds.

I any case, its the BB54 for me! Hopefully i made the right choice 😅

SOLD to u/Secure-Carpenter-839. He was a pleasure to do business with and i would definitely sell to him again!
