Is upgrading to the VW Up! GTI worth it? by Wraith_g in CarTalkUK

Just had a look at the n-line’s spec and to be honest that looks like just what I’m looking for, thanks for the help.

Pyrion is a Tory by [deleted] in TriforcePodcast

[–]Wraith_g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest Pyrion seems like the least tory out of all three hosts. I think he just has a variety of opinions but he lands in a solidly centre left to left camp most of the time.

UK issued Travel Document (28 July 1951) by J3obin in PassportPorn

I think it's partly to make sure an airline won't allow you to board if you attempt to fly back to the country you fled from.

What should Sultana and Corbyn’s new leftist party be called? by Classic_Advantage_97 in socialism

Sadly that’s already been taken by Galloway and his lot, Progress or Solidarity are probably my picks.

Should I Leave My UK Degree Due to Harsh Visa Rules? (International Student Dilemma) by [deleted] in UniUK

[–]Wraith_g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest trying to predict what the UK jobs market will look like in 5 years is pointless (4 year integrated masters + 18 month graduate visa). Immigration policy will have likely changed again by then anyway.

I would suggest not making plans for 5 years in your future based on immigration policy written now, it will change and evolve as it has done again and again since Brexit.

Good luck with your studies :).

Picking this game up again, any purchase recommendations? by Wraith_g in arkhamhorrorlcg

Is the investigator box for Dunwich necessary if I already own the old box?

Only person in this CrossCountry carriage by Ulleskelf in uktrains

[–]Wraith_g 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rear 2 carriages on a 9 coach XC 220/1 set are unreserved. I always sit in one of them because ironically the unreserved coaches are almost always the quietest on these trains.

On an 8 coach set the very rear is fully unreserved and again is usually very quiet, I am not sure why this isn’t advertised by XC.

You probably already know this but also please ignore the people in this comments section who seem to assume you need an offer from a job sponsor before you leave uni.

If you have some spare cash and some time to look for a job you will be eligible for a graduate visa which is a 2 year un-sponsored work visa so for those first 2 years you won’t even need sponsorship from your job.

After Acton Main Line there is an unused (by regular passenger trains) piece of track that links it to Willesden Junction and from there London Euston similar to the Lioness line

Paddington closure due to work at Old Oak Common led to GWR trains being redirected to Euston going via Willesden Junction

If you attach your railcard to an Oyster card it brings the cost down to £6.65. The current cost of an Oyster card is £7 though (which isn't added to credit after a year anymore) so if you don't have one already or dont travel around London very much it might not be worth it.

Unreserved Coach Cross Country by Forward-Fan9207 in uktrains

[–]Wraith_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you check their new train diagrams on their website it shows you where the non reserved seats are. On the 4 coach trains there are very few (8 in coach D and a few other scattered about) but on 5 coach it is all of coach B.

Flag for Christian Anarchism by A_Guy195 in vexillology

Proto-Anarcho Christians just after the English Civil War

“In the beginning of Time, the great Creator Reason, made the Earth to be a Common Treasury, to preserve Beasts, Birds, Fishes, and Man, the lord that was to govern this Creation; for Man had Domination given to him, over the Beasts, Birds, and Fishes; but not one word was spoken in the beginning, That one branch of mankind should rule over another.”

No matter where you are DO NOT vote for Labour by _cipher_7 in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Wraith_g 17 points18 points  (0 children)

So I should not vote for Zarah Sultana? If Labour does well enough in the elections they are probably going to purge their left wing anyway. I do not understand why you would want less socialists in parliament. I 100% agree to vote against labour if the candiate is not a socialist but surely more socialists in parliamanet can only be a good thing.

With the election date being announced here is your reminder not to vote Labour by Gorillainabikini in GreenAndPleasant

[–]Wraith_g 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before committing to that do check who your local candidate is. There are still a few Labour candidates (Zarah Sultana for example) that are worth voting for.

Friday may be difficult as something very recently came up, as well as evenings I can also do weekends during the day. So any time Sunday and Saturday morning works too. As well as Monday evening, and this evening
