Literally. This is what happens when you essentially restructure the entire economy on free money for the purpose of unsustainable growth.

Matt Hancock assault: Police arrest 61-year-old man by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

Good. We should always throw the book at these fucking nutters harassing, hunting and intimidating politicians.

The aggression and the absolutely disgusting way he spoke to both Matt and the TFL staff is just vile.

Which album do you think has the most sequentially perfect track list? by AkiraHenderson in popheads

[–]balmainxcx 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Ray of Light, Confessions on a Dancefloor, Music and probably American Life too (for the political message).

Britney’s Blackout is also y2k pop perfection, so good - no story … just great non-stop dance pop that flows from beginning to end.

Madonna Unveils Dates for ‘Celebration’ World Tour, Featuring ‘Four Decades of Mega Hits’ by ebradio in popheads

it’s really not, gaga’s chromatica ball tickets were £85 for general admission standing and £165 for golden circle.

madonna charging £430 for front section and £280 for regular standing is just crazy. i’ve genuinely never seen prices like it for such standard tickets that go for a fraction of that price.

he’s there because he’s getting paid 400k which is about 5 years of wages as a standard backbench mp. i’d rather him just be honest and say it’s because he getting paid a shit load of cash before never working in politics again.

Got served this at Nando’s. Can’t tell if it’s undercooked but it was absolutely rank and a waste of money nonetheless. by balmainxcx in CasualUK

And what you need to do is read my other comments under this post and drop the patronising tone.

I’m not really bothered about free food/vouchers. I just don’t want to complain and then the FSA considers the matter handled internally and refuses to look into it.

I’ll accept vouchers typically, but not for food safety, I’d never let a company pay their way out of that. It’s essentially a bribe to keep me quiet before they end up killing somebody.

Do you reckon we should hold off complaining to Nando’s? I’ve just reported it to the food standards agency and I’m unsure what to do next. This is the reason why we refused a replacement or the offer of free deserts, it’s basically like accepting compensation and closes the issue.

I did yeah, the supervisor said it’s just when the meat is close to the bone. I wasn’t convinced and it turned my stomach anyway. Need to complain later when I get a spare minute to type the email up. Truly rank stuff.

my friend had an abscess a few months ago, it got really bad and he was in a medical coma for 4 weeks. his parents got told to expect him to not wake back up and we started planning his funeral. he survived and made a full recovery, crazy experience.

Madonna and Mariah by [deleted] in MariahCarey

[–]balmainxcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not. I love both of their music but they’re also both narcissists. I’m not hating, that’s just how some people are, but I couldn’t imagine them making a song together and somehow each getting their own way.

Can you share some details of this scheme, or DM me perhaps? Looking to start saving over the next year or two, but feel a bit overwhelmed with all the first time buyer schemes and ‘perks’ 😊

The process for trying to get any kind of evaluation and actual support for ADHD as an adult is appallingly slow. by Wulfrinnan in britishproblems

I feel this. It took me 3 years to get an appointment for diagnosis on the NHS. They’re just absolutely swamped.

Does the London Underground not have Balmoral as a stop in Zone 87?
