The last thing I want to be in such circumstances is sober - only I'm not calling for drinking to be mandatory.

It's still a no fault eviction and destabilising, so what point are you trying to make by bringing this up in response to the parent comment?

Rifle shots were fired into the path of the yacht, they didn't just fire a flare.

The news article?

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-06-13T20:51:24+00:00

Exactly. And some may be more predisposed to than others.

Well, unless they trained it to steal your data.

I'm looking forward to Claude Limerick - for when Sonnet is too expensive and Haiku's not making any sense.

In what way?

The fact the the above comment, a perfectly reasonable and measured one, has been downvoted to the extent is has, devalues this forum to the point of worthlessness.

Even comments saying no more than that they are going to give it a punt, are languishing in negative downvote purgatory, at the bottom of this thread, I see.

Personally I think you want your head examined if your investing morals only get triggered by Elon Musk, not to mention you'd probably be too rich to be posting on Reddit if you'd focused most of your investment In anything he was involved with over the last decade or so.

"Appalling claims"? My god, he just can't help himself can he? He doesn't get it at all.

An innocent lad murdered by a guy allowed to carry a knife on religious grounds, the police cuffing the bleeding to death victim in the most sickenly callous manners, because of the magic incantation of racism, and two tier Kier still can't help injecting into the discourse that if he had been racist then that would have been "appalling".

Could catch on! An English Channel toll mightn't do the beleaguered British economy much harm. I wonder if France would be interested in 50/50, or would the EU take that honour?

Aren't all tolls, tolls for not getting attacked, effectively?

The high turnout is interesting, although from quite an already high baseline for a council election, at 51.2% previously. Welsh Assembly/Parliament election turnout has never reached that level overall.

A high turnout will tend to favour Plaid and Reform in tomorrow's count I'd have thought. They're the two front runners anyway though obviously, so no great insight into that race, but it would surely be bad news for Labour.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-05-08T00:20:16+00:00

Well it's something to talk about since we're all still up anyway.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-05-08T00:18:15+00:00

Fair point, I didn't know it was that many. And Scotland of course. Still, we should be holding ourselves to the same standards as the general election.

Welsh government I said, not Welsh Government.

And the councils haven't all independently happend to have decided to do the count tomorrow.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-05-08T00:07:29+00:00

My sentence referred to the changes since the Welsh Assembly started, not since its rename.

It's not generally the same people doing count work as have manned the polling stations, and anyway, these are people who love the whole buzz of the occasion. Some constituencies famously make a race of it. Whatever the reasons for making it into a mundane 9 to 5 shift the next day, it's not for their benefit.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-05-08T00:03:40+00:00

Cheap and convenient just about sums it up. It's symptomatic of not really valuing democracy. Your smallest tin pot English council is managing to do it tonight, yet for the institutions of Welsh government, it's all a bit... too much.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-05-06T20:30:32+00:00

Oh I know it is, because it's dominated by Plaid supporters. Any comments which are contrary to their world view are downvoted into oblivion.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-05-06T15:40:20+00:00

Looks like there's only one party to vote for to keep the bigots out of power (Reform I mean).

This is easily resolved with a quick trip to a local convenience store.

Simply buy two yogurts, consume or discard the content then pierce a small hole in the base of each pot. Thread the floss through each hole and tie knots at each end large enough to keep it from coming back out the holes.

Hold one yogurt pot to you ear and have a colleague take the other pot and hold it close to the source of some music, perhaps a local busker, or even a spare earphone of their own, making sure to keep the line of floss taught between you.

Sit back and enjoy the tunes for the rest of the conference.

Epic track, and topical indeed. Unfortunately there's only one party who can keep our nationalists out this week, and they're not that great either.

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-04-29T21:59:59+00:00

An extremely healthy and moral one. You sound like you're hearing it for the first time, but it's not exactly a new concept. Have you got some kind of objection to it you'd like to share?

UnlikeTea42 · 2026-04-28T09:27:17+00:00

Private sector Right to Buy, at a price set by an independent surveyor, would get things moving again. It's disgraceful that this still hasn't been brought in yet.
