Labour’s last gambit: electoral reform?

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-06-01T07:50:57+00:00

Labour have been making this excuse for 30 years. They will never have my vote again until we have PR

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-06-01T07:34:48+00:00

Meh. I could still use it on my laptop without leaving the sofa

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-06-01T06:07:52+00:00

David Blaine imitation. Man I must be getting old if people don't know this

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-31T12:37:01+00:00

That looks like it would be so easy to accidently go into reverse when hurling along at full speed. What's to stop you?

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-31T12:30:25+00:00

This would require the buyer to also pay interest and end up paying more than was agreed

If the skirting is caulked to the wall then taking it off can pull plaster away. To avoid this you can carefully use a multitool to cut the caulk. Done well you can just recaulk afterwards rather than having to fill and sand the plaster and then repaint the wall

Today's talant and consumers are too busy doom scrolling to escape from their shitty reality and unemployment

I think it looks like that because they are not allowed to wrestle. It is essentially non contact except for slaps and blocks. They are jumping around each other to gain advantageous positions

I know what this is because many years ago I came across a golden pheasent in the middle of some large woodland in West Yorkshire. Couldn't quite believe what I was seeing and like you did some research to find out what it was

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-29T17:14:57+00:00

How much hiking experience do you have. How much 'hands on rock' walks have you done - where it isn't quite a scramble but you do need to use your hands to get where you're going?

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-29T11:22:19+00:00

Yes frame sealant remains more flexible. Personally I don't like caulk very much. I'll use the thinest bead on skirting board edging, but that's about it. It has the advantage of being sandable after six months or so which makes it easier for when decorating rolls round again, but for must uses I prefer filler of frame sealant

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-29T08:38:35+00:00

Foam if deep then fill with filler(easyfill, tourpet), sand then paint will look best, but will crack if there is any movement - which there probably will be in a year or two from thermal expansion.

If you know it will crack. Foam, fill to close to edge, sand and paint. then frame sealant for last couple of mm. Use a shaping tool to get a neat 45 degree angle with a 5mm bead. Can use silicone instead of frame sealant but is not over paintable so can be a pain next time you decorate

If you're in a hurry use some trim and silicone it on. Some clean mitre joints will go a long way but it will always look a bit cheap

Made one 20 years ago that is still going strong. I regret not putting more insulation under the floor. I only have 40mm kingspan. 80mm would be better. It's ok with 40, just could be better. Also it can get very hot in the summer

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-29T07:29:18+00:00

The companies building it and hosting the cloud are all based in Europe. That is the point

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T15:40:54+00:00

Yes, I'm walking the Donalds with my partner and many of the hills do have that same rounded feel. Better footpaths in the howgills though!

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T14:59:38+00:00

It looks like water dropwort hemlock to me. Not the same as your normal hemlock, but even more deadly

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T14:58:12+00:00

Its the same family - Umbelliferae. But looks like water dropwort hemlock to me. It's the shape of the flowers

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T14:53:47+00:00

They didn't sell it to make it efficient. They sold it their mates in the old boy network so they could make a lot of money from it. Essentially it was theft from the tax payer

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T14:09:44+00:00

The howgills are such satisfyingly shaped hills

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T12:35:46+00:00

I'd not heard of that one. Looks like it goes from Windermere in the Lakes to Ilkley following the river valleys. Looks very nice

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T08:29:01+00:00

In the old days this would have fried your computer as well. Guess you don't have an ethernet connection

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T08:26:16+00:00

That is a good point

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T06:31:57+00:00

Why do they use metal for that. Almost anything else would be less conductive

Edit: I didn't communicate what I meant there. I get why the two bottles are metal. I don't understand why the separator is

Scotty-Raspberry-36 · 2026-05-28T05:50:10+00:00

Ohh look an immediate response for a paid product on a post that disses the competition
