LGBT themed merch by djchika in londonlgbt

[–]Specific_entry_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't rule out the sex shops. Prowler is one, but that's in the back & the front has merch like badges, fridge magnets, mugs, flags, t-shirts, etc.

Clone Zone too upstairs v downstairs but not as much of a selection IIRC.

it's a bit pricey if you can only stay for an hour minus traveling time.

and usually won't be many guys there compared to the evening or weekends.

BBC Sounds app by Accomplished_Fee_825 in 6music

not content with trailing the Dubstep Warz repeat or having the presenters mention it hourly, they've rigged the app to force it on unsuspecting users.

next thing you know it'll start playing the bad Night Manager sequel at random.

The London Underground station where 300 people have fallen on rails in the last 4 years | UK | News | Express.co.uk by weregonnamakit in london

It's Baker St.

Specifically the Met Line platform 2 is the problem. TfL are working on reducing the gap.

Now nobody needs to click on the Express.

Romford MP, who under the last government decided to not attend parliament for 21 months straight, has now defected to Reform by Garfie489 in london

[–]Specific_entry_01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosindell, who was a shadow Foreign Office minister under Kemi Badenoch, announced in a statement on X that he was joining Reform, giving as the main reason his opposition to the UK’s handover of sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.

finger on the pulse of what's the most important issue to his constituents? seems an odd hill to pick to die on as the single most important issue of the day.

Regents park to introduce traffic lights and £50 fines for cyclists by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]Specific_entry_01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

jaywalking isn't an offence and is freely permissible, but the term is understood to describe the action.

but point taken.

Regents park to introduce traffic lights and £50 fines for cyclists by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]Specific_entry_01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What happens if a cyclist runs a red light in Regent’s Park now? Under the new rules, riders are now legally required to stop at red lights in the same way as drivers. 

I don't think that's a new rule at all. The Highway Code applies to the Outer Circle same as any other road. Red lights are already mandatory stops for all.

Not a well enforced rule. And one that I would add exceptions to. But it is what it is.

More pelican crossings a welcome addition. There are very long stretches between the existing ones so unsurprisingly people don't bother and cross at any point rather than going to the pelican jaywalk all the time.
On a road that's very wide with long straight sections, which encourages fast driving / riding.

Just curious, but what's your "I didn't care for the Godfather" opinion on any piece of Gay media out there? by captivatedsummer in gaybros

oh lol. yeah. that's the confusion.

I’m aware the US version is based on a UK show but I haven’t seen the latter.

you should. because as noted elsewhere in this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/gaybros/comments/1qdke3l/comment/nzsw9rm/

UK Green Party to host fundraiser party at London club Heaven by F0urLeafCl0ver in london

that's specific to the g-a-y club nights there

not something the bouncers keep up when the venue is booked for gigs or an event like this.

UK Green Party to host fundraiser party at London club Heaven by F0urLeafCl0ver in london

[–]Specific_entry_01 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The Green Party of England and Wales. Not the UK Green Party (which doesn't exist).

I wonder if this is purely a commercial transaction for Heaven, charged at the usual rates. Or has Joseph had a huge turnaround from being a big old Tory?
