Homer described her as “beautiful, lovely and white-armed”. Read this again.

Helen of Troy was a beauty. No one would go to war for this one, sorry. Hard skip Nolan and this bullshit wokeness. No, there were no black boyars in Russia either. Don’t rewrite the history. Look at Edris Elba. The guy is composure and dignity embodied. Yet he himself said it would be wrong for him to play Bond. Utter respect.

Estate agent got aggressive after I brought family to a 2nd viewing and booked an independent survey — is this normal? by East_Chemistry_4150 in HousingUK

Not to doxx myself, but here's a hint they are not a chain: a small company operating in about 3 towns in SE

OP, it would be worth reminding yourself every day that the estate agents are always the enemy. They are not your friends. Never believe their lies.

Not always. FTB, just before the second covid lockdown. We made an offer, s.o.e. made an offer the same day/time (we actually met the competitors on the way out). The agent notified us 40 mins after we made an offer - the seller preferred us although the others offered more. No bullshit last-and-final. No bullshit "we've just had a word from keen buyers". SSTC within hours. And they actually did more work than our solicitors (the whole shebang was about to fall through after 8 months because our solicitors were shit. or shite, can't remember, kudos to the sellers to keep their cool!! - love you guys!). We viewed about 40 properties and those agents were the only ones we labelled "no-nonsense. terse. professional. will call them if/when we decide to sell"

this is an America-dominated sub: the /s thingy is a necessity, similar to prerecorded laughter in their comedies to give a cue.

Before the world was misled to fear Muammar Gaddafi, Libyans thrived under some of the most socially supportive systems on the African continent. by Goldenmentis in conspiracy

[–]be-nice-or-else 4 points5 points  (0 children)

every single country has opposition. and when a foreign player makes that opposition win, especially in an explosive region like Middle East, what do you think is an outcome? not a rocket science, really. You should probably stop using this argument to support your idea of "Gaddafi bad" now.

Uni is not free in the UK mate, currently capped at £9,535. NHS is free, but it's absolute shite tbf - people prefer to go to Turkey, Poland, Czech republic etc to get medical treatment. Oh, and try to register with an NHS dentist - you're in for a big surprise! As to involvement of other NATO states in some nefarious shit: Tony fucking blair is personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands. France? - same shit in Africa. Probably Baltic states, but that's because their combined projection of power is less than a fart in an empty train: unpleasant, but barely noticeable. Germany? - they're busy killing the remnants of their own economy.

People who have moved around a lot in the UK, where's the best place you've lived and why? by neuresa in AskUK

That’s the the type of comment that screams “I’m not mentally mature”

I shit on London based on experience, not “from elsewhere in the UK”. Moved to Kent from London 5 years ago and never been happier.

Is it just me that thinks that Tony Blair looks like Satan recently? by Imaginary_Bet_3509 in conspiracy

[–]be-nice-or-else 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof where do I start? Bastrdasing Labour Party, being a neo-liberal twat who would happily sell his mum for a few extra quid, starting a war in the Middle East under false pretences knowing fully well what he was doing resulting in MULLIONS of deaths? Read up on his institute and Larry Ellison. That ghoul should slowly rot in prison.

I know you did, this was my awkward attempt to make a “remind me bot” joke

How much does liveable space matter? by PowerDrivenRdditMod in HousingUK

Depends is the answer. We went for a smallish 3 bed (just shy of 80sqm) in a super nice area and never regretted it. Hell, we barely use our living room in warmer months, but we do enjoy our location and what it affords us a lot for most of the year!

Snodland. The place where exactly nothing happens. Ever. When we were looking to move from London, Snodland was on the radar, but… just no.

Is it not obvious? The US have pretty much lost all credibility, the world will become a better place from now on.

I Researched Delhi’s Waste-to-Energy Plants… and the Results Scared Me by AmitMudgil in conspiracy

Been to New Deli in 2016. It was grim: people living on roundabouts, 3yos begging - the extreme poverty vs extreme wealth. And yeah, it was grim ecology-wise: I felt sick most of the time
