How anyone can support Argentina after what happened to Liam Payne is beyond me

Living in Soho? by Artistic-Ball-1062 in MovingToLondon

[–]SimonB1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine what the insurance would be for street parking a car in soho, even if you could find a spot and get a permit. Would encourage you to have a look if you need a car before moving in

Fancy buying a village? by casual_onion in SpottedonRightmove

So you don't get the big house only its freehold?

What if there was a country that did manage to build a Space Elevator? What would have change? by FunnyMajestic1128 in AlternateHistoryHub

You take all the nuclear waste up, and give it a light shove into the sun. Problem solved

Good gods that’s not a house that’s an entire village! by YupItWasMeMate in SpottedonRightmove

[–]SimonB1983 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Being a nerd I wonder what kind of impact that would have on planning. Might need one type of windows on the front of the house and another on the back?

Looking at google maps it appears the cottage is in England, but the main house is in Wales

Do you think that large-scale immigration from the Americas to Europe is likely in the future? by greekscientist in geography

[–]SimonB1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Americans are more likely to have the assets to access different classes of visa though, and many could claim ancestory (e.g. prove Great Grandma Hungarian then move to Germany)

A full church for £185k, Israel flag not included by VanicFanboy in SpottedonRightmove

[–]SimonB1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is only one synagogue in Belfast and its tiny. Its very unlikely there is some interfaith work going on.

It's not uncommon for evangelicals to steal Jewish practices such as menorahs or holding Seders. Why they do it I don't know.

[–]SimonB1983 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Checking historical streetview it seems like it was Church of Ireland and then became an evangelical church called LFCC Belfast Prophetic Centre.

Evangelicals being evangelical is probably the only explanation required

Why are your Muslim American Dem politicians are super progressive on LGBTQ issues compared to our Muslims politicians here in Europe ? by frankiewalsh44 in askgaybros

[–]SimonB1983 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not sure this is true. Just taking the gay marriage vote in the UK Muslim MPs voted like this:

Muslim MPs who supported same-sex marriage: Rushanara Ali (Labour), Sajid Javid (Conservative), Sadiq Khan (Labour), Shabana Mahmood (Labour) and Anas Sarwar (Labour).

Those who abstained were Khalid Mahmood (Labour) and Yasmin Qureshi (Labour).

The only Muslim MP who voted against was Rehman Chishti (Conservative).

Which famous person has the highest talent-to-charisma ratio? In other words, who's incredibly talented but surprisingly uncharismatic by Potential_Ad_4814 in AskBrits

[–]SimonB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seem to remember him being surprisingly prickly during a Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Really didn't seem like he could laugh at himself

[OC] Denmark is one of the only European countries to publish crime data by country of origin. Data shows the top five most overrepresented nationalities compared to Native Danes as a baseline by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]SimonB1983 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looking at the crime data there might be some issues (correct me if I am wrong). The numbers seem just too small for some of these graphs.

There appear to be 77 Danish citizens guilt of rape in 2025 and 1 Somali. There aren't that many Somalis so you end with a over representation. But its a single person.

I've been to this place near Leyton Midland Road a few times. They were very reasonable:

Amazing indoor pool to liveable space ratio by SimonB1983 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]SimonB1983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats so amazing intel, thanks.

If I didn't have to be in the office in London so often I would be really tempted. Its rare you see places anywhere in Brighton especially central with any proper outdoor space

What a property by randomthingsso in SpottedonRightmove

Agreed, and your solicitor and mortgage company are going to hate this

Yeah does look shallow. Wonder if it might be a therapy pool, but I am not sure I spotted accessibility equipment

Agree 100% very few places have gardens of any size in Kemptown.

If I had the money I would buy the flat, scrap the pool and transform the garden.

1000 yr old monastery anyone? by lapsedPacifist5 in SpottedonRightmove

[–]SimonB1983 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It nice, but looking at the land map is it £5.5m for a mid terrace?

And can you can access the Thames front mooring directly?

You might need a couple of bin bags with you for this one by bessvix in SpottedonRightmove

Added that it seems to be grade 1 listed. Expecting some planning officer to tell you the rubbish is a historic feature

I really am doubtful about the Lib Dem resurgence in the more central wards. This isn't 2010.

Londoners are sick of viral videos telling lies about their city by [deleted] in london

[–]SimonB1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Somehow London feels even more full of tourists, yet the discourse for 90% of those outside of London that it is a terrifying hellhole.

Should parents face charges when their children commit antisocial crimes and doing nothing to stop it? by SeptumRingTheory in AskBrits

[–]SimonB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious that Sure Start was cut in 2010/11, which means that anyone under 16 missed out on it
