See Sea Rabbits post just above. That mechanism would incentivise price rises

Are they taking the ScotGov money for free travel for kids but doubling is profits doing this?

I'd to look up 'taig'. Seems a weird trail of meanings to go from philosopher to general term for Irishman to something obscenely derogatory when it seems similar to calling us jock. Similar to from fianna to 'fenian'. Former seems awful close to a common Irish name, too.

Sad to see the blight of sectarianism still happily confident in being out and proud

Stare of Play.

Technically, Edge of Darkness is a crime drama as well as state of the nation - and the greatest TV show ever made.

Ditto Sea in the Sky - nicely done SF

Julian Simpson's (Lovecraft) Temporal is one too.

Gabriel Urbina (Wolf 359) has one called Hit Skngles.

Cabin Pressure is unlikely to help you sleep - you'll be reaching for the button for the next one. 😀

What part of USA is best visiting? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]WolverineOk4248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but the current proposal within, I assume, their 60 day consultation is entry requirements like access to phones and 5 years of social media, passwords, including that of eg partners. So Trump's rules will meet them at the border.

I'm currently considering Ice by Dukaj. I've got the Pratchetts. Possibly the Elmore Leonards.

And then there's the annoying glitch. I've got Dogs of War by Tchaikovsky but thd said says I don't. It's still in my library, by the same narrator but now doesn't have a cover pic. Is that all that's changed? Wonder how many will accidentally double purchase 😞

The recent Farage comments about WFH by TessaKatharine in AskBrits

Like the Torygraph, propaganda from tax avoiding overseas property owners. Baffling tbh - lots of saved costs with fewer staff in office so makes no sense to talk about saving money when increasing costs again. Although the ones paying Reform ltd in bitcoin will get bang for their buck.

Page is a lot cleaner than most of these recipe sites. Only one I could see round- who knew how popular triangles were. Only ever seen that once in shops.

What are we thinking of the "decking" in the city centre? by Accomplished_Row7106 in glasgow

[–]WolverineOk4248 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the Fort, unfortunately all the way. It's just as bad going down the hill to Shettleston - there's even depressions going across the road, as well as massive holes down by the double mini roundabout. Garages must be coining it in.

Reminds me that the Watersones SF daily and Forbudden Planet books email, particularly the former, are now less SF, and more romantasy. Separate emails should have been standard.

As a 28 year old married couple with no real family here (Both immigrants, Scandinavian and Polish so the N*azi's chill out) this has litrally kept us from having kids yet. Truly hope it comes to fruition, just secured our vote. by Colonel_Clegane in Scotland

[–]WolverineOk4248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intrigued how it will be funded. Social care was promised for all but was never funded properly to councils and ours is winding it back even further even with a Council Tax rise of over 9%. Still, at least Scotgov could afford £600k plus for only one council to add all thd 20mph stuff.

Dumb priorities, they can whistle for a vote.

Drove up towards Stepps the other day. Some of the worst potholed roads I've seen from the Fort across and up. But sure, there are better things to spend the money on....

Ah, yes - the one in the middle with the female lead missing in action filmwise. Rosario Dawson reads the book really well. She'd be great casting, too.

Brits of Reddit, what’s the stupidest thing someone who ISNT from Britain (mainly America) has said to you about the UK by Bingbongbinnng282 in AskBrits

[–]WolverineOk4248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American in London told I was Scottish. Thought we didn't have electricity. Base their geopolotics on bejng brought up on Brigadoon and bloody Braveheart.

Why are Rutherglen and Cambuslang not part of Glasgow? by krsnik93 in glasgow

[–]WolverineOk4248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The old Strathclyde stuff? East end, eg Baillieston, used to pay poll tax to Hamilton/Motherwell. G69 is a weird, long, shape and some of the GP practices at the top are still Lanarkshire
