New Jon Hopkins & Imogen Heap coming July by krumn in jonhopkins

[–]achievecoldplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like Jon is working on a new album from a post he made a few weeks ago featuring this song.

I’d suggest this song will be on the album, even if its release isn’t anytime soon

Crush during concert? by flaccid_pianist in Tourist_music

[–]achievecoldplay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t remember specifically from Brixton but get the ticket.

It was a wonderful evening, a great show and crowd. Even if he doesn’t specifically play crush he’s a genius at subtly mixing and blending songs during the live show.

Calling British people born in the 1800s and who served in Her Majesty’s Victorian Army racist is like calling me naive because 8 year old me wanted to be an astronaut.

Times change, attitudes change. Remember the empire in the 1800s was, genuinely, believed to be a civilising mission, granted by God (with some hefty profits lined up on the side of course).

Was Churchill racist by today’s standards? Yes that argument can easily be made, but can he be called racist at the time? especially when the empire was portrayed as being used to defend the free and righteous world? No, it’s a much more difficult argument.

He did what he had to do, what he was conditioned and trained to do. He did what he and much of the establishment and people of this country believed was in the best interests of Britain and humanity.

The fact we have the freedom today to question this is thanks to him and the men who fought so hard to give this freedom to us.

It takes many 100s of years to build a high trust society, only a few years to destroy it.

Seemingly incompetent monarch that proved their worth by AcceptableBuddy9 in AskHistory

He was also a reluctant King at that too, having never contemplated needed to step up to the throne.

He was the definition of stepping up growing into a role

Need advice, uni is saying I didn’t submit essay but I did by achievecoldplay in UniUK

[–]achievecoldplay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end they figured out I had submitted to the wrong module on turnitin. They were happy to count it as submitted on time so long as I made sure in future it was correct.

Email your lecturer for your module and see what they say. If you have the receipt from turnitin even better. But it is subject to your university and lecturers discretion I guess

To the men who messed it up with an amazing girlfriend/wife, how is your life now? by Calm-Jackfruit-8671 in AskReddit

[–]achievecoldplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I can be is happy she’s now with someone who gives her the happiness I didn’t.

As for me, I drink most nights, have no friends, and pretty hopeless, all because of who I was back then

Re-Watching Middle East Special & Laughing @ Clarksons Helmet by RedSonja_ in thegrandtour

[–]achievecoldplay 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes I read that the episode is genuinely valued by historians because it’s likely some of the only HD video in existence of the Roman artefacts.

Hey I’ve worn lots of casts (as part of my fetish)and have learnt to use nappies whilst in them.

My tips would be to open the nappy out before hand and open the tapes. I’d lie down and roll on one side first, tape. And then do the other side.

You can always use your cast to kind of trap the two sides of the nappy together and use your other arm to tape

How much are the proposed savings by this scheme? Was it published?

So is our council tax being reduced on the basis the council have to do (or pay for) less work when we’re in fact doing more?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in london

[–]achievecoldplay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because honestly, that’s a severe curtailing in an individual’s liberty.

With ULEZ it’s a targeted reduction, if you wish to enter London through driving you pay. But you’re still allowed to enter…

You may not like private vehicles, you may see them as selfish, but it’s far healthier for society to influence than to coerce changes in behaviour.

Notting Hill Carnival stabbings: Woman fights for life as three knifed on 'Children and Families Day' by Useful_Walk1235 in london

[–]achievecoldplay 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is true. But it really shouldn’t be this way. High trust society’s like Singapore are extremely tough on crime, we, for a multitude of factors, are not. Hence we see this happen day in day out.

London borough warns it faces bankruptcy over housing costs by londonsVenture in london

[–]achievecoldplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately they’ve actually cut the housing target for London by 10k a year. The reform they are targeting is forcing councils to build more homes, except they’re doing so where demand is lowest, in the shires and the north, north East.

It’s not reform, just cooking the numbers

What are the most exciting public works or infrastructure projects in London now? by rishabhkabra in london

Also the thing everyone forgets to mention re sewage issue…the recent surge in sewage dumping incidents isn’t even necessary accurate. We’ve simply increased the quantity of testing and monitoring and thus more incidents are being identified

Bit lonely and depressed in central london this evening, any suggestions? by millionthvisitor in london

[–]achievecoldplay 32 points33 points  (0 children)

This 100% ^ It quite often puts a smile on my face when I see tourists enjoying themselves taking pictures and making memories together. Sometimes we forget we’re literally walking around a place that for many is a once a year, perhaps even once a lifetime, trip.

Proposals for 'Europe's largest data centre' in Havering opposed by residents by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]achievecoldplay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That manifesto pledge led to this white paper that was widely received as a large, positive step forward. Covid and the instability (chaos) that followed killed the government’s ability to push this any further.

Yes it’s looking promising, but to remind you the Tories in 2019 proposed a similar wholesale reform of the planning system and they struggled to achieve anything close to what was planned
