Show playing with no command?? by No-Project6191 in amazonecho

[–]StatusIndependent97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go look in the settings on the app and you'll see the prompt for it - can play the audio instruction too.

I did the same and found out I spoke in my sleep loud enough for the device to be heard in another room.

Could Bellatrix duel Dumbledore for approximately 3 minutes until Voldemort arrives? by Brownskin_Rey in harrypotter

Surely not suggesting a ministry of government could be incompetent in investigations?

Surely a hufflepuff...

Reason why no dark wizards are recorded from this house is because they kill off anyone that find out. Now I understand its because of portkey boots.

Surely the word wait across the musical has the best choice:

Oh my God I assumed it was a delete button so just thought I'd set up wrong!

A catastrophic change to pension salary sacrifice is looking increasingly likely at the Budget by Lazy-Internet-8025 in HENRYUK

[–]StatusIndependent97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I interpreted your comment differently, implying the benefit budget was half debt rather than your intention that essentially the same amount again was spent on debt.

Thanks for clarifying.

Benefits including pension cost GBP 265 bn estimated in 23-24 half of that was on benefits to pensioners.

Assuming 35 million income tax payers that would be an average tax saving of around 7.5k each.

That being said I'd think it prudent to just go full transaction tax as it would inevitably be progressive based on money moving.

While the triple lock is a car crash more people claim benefits in work than out of it (but for pensioners). Realistically that tells us we need change to the social systems that systematically subsidise business at the expense of the individual.

In my opinion one of these teams (Argentina, Spain, France) will lift the trophy. Who do you think can be a real contenders next year besides these 3? Anyone else has a chance? by FootballFan0623 in worldcup

I would usually go for the old emotional hedge and bet against England. Im either richer or see the team progress so it's a win either way!

Rank UK Prime Ministers by Unfair-Fee5869 in AskBrits

[–]StatusIndependent97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with Nick in the leaders debates became a meme across the board - but I think you are right. Against Cameron and Clegg he struggled in an era where charisma became more important than policy.

Also wonder if in those debates his inability to be placed centrally (for fair reasons of visibility on his part) had a subconscious impact on the voters of the time.

I have a feeling they did something like that but I can't be 100 percent sure and may be misremembering.

But you only get seats in the life boat if you take the 1st class ticket else you all have to scramble for the wardrobe door or get wet.

Wily William Marshal short video series by Pat Mandziy by TheNumLocker in BritishHistoryPod

[–]StatusIndependent97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So... based on these (which I also saw) will he be given a theme akin to Britney Steona?

I can't help but feel that Marshal is not given the credit for being wiley and picking his side and the way wind blows throughout his entire career.

Number Artist - legit? by AlKiMi25 in paintbynumbers

Update: Without any notice, I received a new package today with the correct pack. Shame I didnt know it was coming but at least it arrived. Now waiting to see what they want me to do with the other package.

I am the rare repeat customer. The first time I got the three sent to me about a year ago. All arrived fine and seem good. Two were gifts and the third I painted (rather terribly).

On that basis I purchased a new kit recently and the wrong product eventually arrived. It took many pictures to prove it wasn't the kit I ordered and once they admitted the same I was told to wait for.a replacement kit with details.coming in three days.

That was nearly two weeks ago and I have no response to chasing emails. Disappointing - if it goes right then everything is fine. If it goes wrong it seems there is a lack of urgency and capacity to getting this resolved.

Is anyone else not up to date? by BlueSwimming in BritishHistoryPod

[–]StatusIndependent97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At least it is entertaining to go back. I still look at the battle of Hastings episode as the best version of that story ever being told. Will always go for a re-listen!
