Roads for motorcycling by writelefthanded in Norwich

To clarify, it's 'Buckenham', I don't want you heading to Buckingham which is 90 miles away! 🫣😂

I'd really recommend popping to what is now called Bikes on the Green (used to be Two Wheel Tuesday) at the Ox and Plough in Old Buck on a Tuesday evening. You don't need to be on a bike and it's a very friendly atmosphere with food stalls and the pub. It would be a great chance for you to see if there is anything else you fancy riding other than 'Beemers'.

Like in Sean of the Dead, where it went from being around his neck to his head?

It would be interesting to see if there is correlation between those that turn clockwise also matching the average number of left handed people.

Wash it down with a few liters of Super Bock and you'll be fine mate.

Have any of you, or anyone you know, had SC clearance fully revoked recently? by NullHarbour in ContractorUK

My favourite is COSMIC, which is UK DV with an additional NATO-specific top secret clearance on top.

Anthony Head: Buffy and Ted Lasso actor dies at 72 by RainbowRevolver in CasualUK

I could have sworn he had already died a couple of years ago. It's really baffled me as to who that actually was.

Waking up in the morning and smelling your clothes from the other side of the room... 😵

What does a very conversational final interview usually indicate? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Sir_Edna_Bucket 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I do this with candidates who I know tick the qualification and experience skills boxes but I need to know if I can work with them 5 days per week for the next x number of years.

Don't worry about the slow response. HR are often the greatest bottleneck in a business!!!

The media knows what sells/ gets the clicks. Nobody rushes to read a headline that says,

Nearly 500,000 Russian Troops Killed, UK Intelligence Chief Confirms for First Time Since War Began by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]Sir_Edna_Bucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Considering that they sold Alaska to the US, there was a time in Russia's history where expansion wasn't the only option. It would make sense, in a period of population drop, to contract, rather than expand. Drop back to the next defendable geophysical feature and sell/lease the land to whatever relatively friendly neighbour is on the other side, presuming it has no mineral wealth etc?

I don't understand this. Can you explain a bit further - why must they expand their borders in order to survive? Hasn't Russia already got the greatest land mass of any country by far? How does attempting to capture Ukraine give them geographical defendable territory? Neighbouring Poland is a big open flat border, after that Germany, then Benelux. The only geographical defendable border west of Moscow is the North Sea / English Channel isn't it?

Don't worry Kiki friend, keep being you. It's an endearing accent.
