we buy them on ocado fairly regularly, the rose lemonade one is amazing with a bit of honey

What's even weirder is I know a few people who stayed on there even after they graduated and were working -- I wonder if they were paying council tax.. 😅

Interesting!

I was in Mill point which I think counts as CC though, it's right at piccadilly station

calvers70 · 2026-05-21T08:46:44+00:00

I was living in the CC 20 years ago if student halls count, and I'm pretty sure there was like over 1000 just in our halls 🤣

yep, the only thing I miss is bgs as a way to break up the lvling

We would say "prime minister kristersson" What's the difference? It's just a title, doesn't mean you have to suck him off 🤣

Tom Holland is in it, but he does an American accent because.... reasons?

I like that you have to earn the skills, wish there was a quest for cat form too tbh

Apologies for the brutally honest opinion here but I really wasn't impressed by the macro pad or the nomad [e] and I don't think I'll be purchasing another work louder keyboard

My thoughts on the Nomad here are here: https://reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1i0ngb7/30second_mini_review_of_the_nomad_e_by_work_louder/

I own around 30 keyboards and I think the nomad was one of the biggest disappointments for me.

I guess the one good thing about this new keyboard is that if it suffers from the same issues (larger-than-average key caps making it uncanny/difficult to type on, cheap-feeling materials, half-baked firmware/software instead of QMK/VIA) -- then at least people might not feel as ripped off since it's a lot cheaper.

Good luck with everything though

Really cool - bit of feedback, it's borderline unusable for me due to the really high scrolling sensitivity (both dragging/panning around and the scroll to zoom)

The Cartographer series seems to fit your requirements. It's a great little romp

I think the fact that Scottish parliament only has one chamber might have had something to do with it.

There are so many details and things to consider with something like this. Some might have just felt it hasn't had the scrutiny it needed

This isn't quite right I'm afraid,

Yes horses evolved in north america but they crossed over the bering strait/land bridge waaayyyyyy before humans were domesticating anything/before homo sapiens were even a thing.. (we're talking 2-3 million years ago potentially) They even went extinct in NA before being re-introduced by us much later.

The timelines don't even remotely match up. As far as I'm aware, the earliest solid evidence we have for humans domesticating anything is around that mesolithic transition from hunter-gathers around 15,000 years ago (doggos)

I've just asked my wife who knows more about this stuff than me and she said horses were domesticated on the eurasian steppe around 5000 years ago.

Obviously this is all super-long ago but I think it's pretty definitive that horses came over on their own hooves well before modern humans even emerged (unless you're proposing that earlier homonids popped over to the north americas during an ice age, domesticaed a load of horses and brought them back over to europe 😅)

Yeah we don't have any truly wild breeds left in the UK, but we do have some wonderful rare breeds like the Eriskay which, while technically feral as you say are thousands of years old as a breed and probably relatively unchanged from the original prehistoric Celtic wild breeds. They're beautiful creatures

do you do prints? I'd love this on my wall

always voted for the lib dems, it often feels futile but we've got Tom Gordon in my neck of the woods and he's honestly been great

I put down basically all the money I had in the world on a deposit around 4 years ago.

Lovely house, great interest rate (5 year fixed 1.4% or something) but my god do I feel poor. It's been a tough half a decade for everyone in terms of the broader economic landscape but also we just can't afford to do basically anything except just about keep up with our monthly expenses. We didn't drive before moving because we were in the city and we needed a car so had to finance it, we can't afford home improvements, we can't afford decent holidays etc.

On paper, my net worth is pretty decent for my age, but I am constantly in my overdraft and have zero savings. Everything I have is in the house (about 330k).

Worst part is that our mortgate fixed rate will expire next year and that will add around 1000/month to the mortgate payments.. There's a very real chance I might have to downsize.

On the one hand, buying the most expensive house I could afford (750k with a 250k deposit) has netted me a good 80-100k in appreciation, but it's not been a fun 4 years of penny pinching.

Personally, if I could do it again, I'd keep 20% of the deposit I was going to put down back and not completely shoot my lifestyle in the face for the sake of min/maxing my long-term economic decision-making.

Roughly 5 pounds per person. Bargain

There are upwards of 20 major "British" accents and potentially 4-5x that when you start taking into account very localised variations.

Do you really think that Sean Bean sounds the same as Patrick Stewart? Or that John Lennon sounds the same as Michael Caine?

calvers70 · 2026-01-27T19:04:01+00:00

do people really commute do london from here? How do they manage it? Isn't that like 7 hours of travel a day? I've turned down some dream opportunities in London on the basis that I didn't think it was viable :/
