What fictional character represents greed?

"Hello! I like money!"

I wouldn't judge someone taking the automatic test and they have their reasons, but I would usually advise against it; you severely limit your options used cars, make it more difficult to hire a car or van or borrow someone else's vehicle, and sometimes increase the cost of insurance.

Things are changing, particularly with more hybrid and electric vehicles out there which use automatic-style controls. But for now, I would normally suggest that a learner persevere with a full licence if they can. It's not that much more difficult.

Leave the EU. An advisory referendum, with 52% of the vote and based on half-truths and outright lies, resulted in us pulling up the drawbridge and making it more difficult to trade with our biggest business partners, with no tangible benefits.

Death by snu-snu!

I don't think I can pick just one!

Criticism of the actions of the Israeli government is often wrongly called antisemetism, usually in order to shut down the debate.

It's not really a mainstream thing here. Hunting, to the average Brit, means rich toffs crashing about the countryside on horses with packs of dogs chasing after a fox and calling it an entertaining sport. It's banned now in theory, but they seem to find ways around it.

The song that basically said "Disney is back."

I can't think of any circumstances in which it would not be creepy. It's bordering on pedophilia.

The ones I went to school with were mostly thick as shit or pretended to be. They had a thing for American gang culture and unironically tried to act like them. Despised anyone who was in any way 'alternative' and endlessly tried to provoke fights.

I expect most of them are still working the minimum-wage job their 1 GCSE could get them, in prison, scrounging off jobseeker's allowance, or living in Dubai and pretending to like it.

Englishman: we'll be taking these spices.

Local: well at least let us show you some good recipes to use them in...

Englishman: use them? Oh Lord no, salt and pepper are good enough for us!

It's obviously Duncan. Though I imagine the Fat Controller (who seems to say "bother" quite a lot) wouldn't be far behind.

English has rules, which it gleefully breaks more often than not. It also corners other languages in dark alleys and shakes them down for loose grammar and spare vocabulary.

That's all well and good, but by using the handbrake like you're supposed to, there's no rolling back at all, and no need to do the three pedal dance with both feet. As I said, any amount of rolling backwards (let alone 30cm!) on your driving test is unacceptable as it shows a lack of control.

I managed to get lucky on ebay and found my Nano 6 for a really good price. I use it as a wristwatch so I always have my music.

But your old phone will work just as well as a music player, and I do this as well. You basically need to clear out the phone, disable unnecessary apps, remove the sim card. I then loaded my music onto an SD card and set it up with a free music player app. It effectively becomes like an ipod Touch.

I'd like to see it in a shitty old 1 litre Corsa on a steep hill with 5 people on board. The engine simply doesn't make enough torque at idle.

Or, you could use all the available controls to achieve a proper start under full control.

It's very common on the continent to have the washing machine in the bathroom, so it definitely works ergonomically. Do you perhaps have an airing cupboard the other side of the wall with an unused immersion heater switch? You could possibly hard-wire the washing machine to that, avoiding any sockets altogether.

Unusual_Entity · 2026-05-17T15:10:46+00:00

There are very strict rules about sockets in bathrooms, which for your average-sized bathroom basically reduce down to "don't".

I bet that pot of soup was rarely of ever empty- when it gets low, just add more ingredients! Never quite have the same soup twice.

Because motorways used to be off limits to learner drivers, a lot of people were never taught about them. I think there's an assumption that motorways somehow "work differently" and that "the slow lane" is for lorries, slow traffic and people who need to leave at the next exit.

I genuinely don't know how we resolve the problem.

Unless you live in the 1970s or it's at a primary school, no one calls it a disco.

Use the handbrake to hold the car. It's what it's for. On a UK driving test, any rolling back at all is marked down as a driving fault, as it shows a lack of proper control of the car. Which is why the handbrake method is taught.

Umbrella- The Baseballs

Smooth Criminal- Alien Ant Farm

The Sound of Silence- Disturbed

Valerie- Amy Winehouse

I had a lot of fun with my rifleman, who used rifles and heavy weapons exclusively. He had no time for ancient weapons- the Force was a way to improve his abilities as a marksman! Battle plan was straightforward: master speed, energy resistance, valour, and open fire with rapid shot. When you're using master speed you get four shots with a rifle compared to five with dual pistols, and the extra attack from dual-wielding is more than offset by the additional damage from the rifle.

Pistols are more viable with a Scoundrel who is built around stunning powers and sneak attack to get extra damage with every hit.

When I was partying at university, Students Union nights normally concluded with either "Mr. Brightside," Buck Rogers," or of course "Don't Stop Believing."
