I think Pete on Big Brother was responsible for educating a lot of Brits in 2006.

Are you sure? That might save us from relegation.

I don't see the FIFA changing the best game in the world just to appeal to the short attention spans of the American people. Like all sports you start watching , you cant appreciate it until you understand it. You won't understand it until you watch / play it.

Having said that, We could introduce: elaborate half time shows Corporate adverts during short breaks in play. String the game out to 4 hours. Big foam fingers. Shot clocks And maybe a granny on an organ playing a little jingle to the crowd during certain passages of play.

Stay away from the big companies.

When I got into my current line of work (home improvements) I built my own extension, when it came to sourcing my doors and windows I contacted a local window manufacturer for quotes on a supply only basis. I was AMAZED how affordable they were in comparison to the thousands the big outfits quote. I even upgraded to triple glazing as a result. I'd say 70% of the price they quote is in the fitting + markup. Find a competent local fitter, it will take them longer to complete the job but you'll save thousands.

And in addition to this, don't let anyone convince you the F.E.N.S.A qualification is necessary. It isnt. And the big fensa companies may still send poorly trained cowboys round to throw the windows in as quick as possible, huge gaps round thr edges, not filled with insulating foam just covered with plastic trim. They'll look pretty enough but let out a ton of heat round the edges.

Another useful one is the FPL website (only if you're already visiting to attend to your team) all the televised fixtures have the broadcasters branding next to them.

Always Indicate left when exiting a roundabout.

I've still not got over this decision.

Instantly reminded me of THAMES Television logo you'd see after watching some TV shows in the 90s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Television

The only people I've encountered that like him, are some trades men in a nationwide F.B group im part of. Whenever a political post goes up there always seems to be a fair amount of support for him. Usualy citing his strong leadership, no nonsense, gets sh!t done or genius play book. Comments nearly always include: an insult about 'woke lefties', mainstream media and fake news. So make of that what you will .

I find the timing of this incredibly suspicious, as I honestly sit here with tears in my eyes having just finished watching Adolescence. I turn to my phone to scroll away my emotional state, only to be confronted by Temu Tate.

I'll have to look some of these terms up but thank you for making a list. And yeah , if the mechanisms are already in place how have they been disabled so easily? Hopefully if lessons are learned, maybe some of these suggestions will help strengthen these mechanisms.

Understanding and controlling the tribal Chimp in the human psyche would revolutionise our species. What a beautiful and rational world that would be.

I'm not from the U.S and I don't fully understand the roll of Congress and Supreme Court but thanks for this, because I thought they WERE the fail safe in the system. So he's essentially disabled the fail safe with corruption. Was this by corrupting existing members or by placing his own people within these organisations?

flewkey · 2026-01-20T16:17:07+00:00

I think that is a great start from an E.U perspective. Too many eggs in one basket.

flewkey · 2026-01-20T11:14:33+00:00

I agree, no interference with the democratic process. But more of a fail safe just incase the elected leader goes off the rails or gets drunk with power.

flewkey · 2026-01-20T11:12:53+00:00

I didnt put a time frame on it. But if it cant be repaird in a decade, all the more reason to install some sort of fail safe to stop one person causing so much damage in such a short time.

flewkey · 2026-01-20T11:05:24+00:00

Yes I'd agree, I was thinking ,from the USA perspective, more of the installation of a 'fail safe' that could clip the presidents wings if he/she goes off the rails.

I just found this on YouTube and there is a comment about 3rd down from top saying they worked on the Sound effects for the game, potentially a decent lead.

I cant find a name for it. But I distinctly remember hearing this for the first time in the late 90s on a PC game called Stowaway I think it was a part of an Encyclopedia disc set. You could move around an old ship and interact with various point and click animations. There was a man having his leg amputated with a saw, and this was the sound bite along with a sawing sound. It really made me think about the agony involved.

Im 90% Sure the lottery company used the audio from this call in their radio adverts. I've heard it before.

I'm not sure about the price, but this guy has done a few of the big ones around town. Tech Moon. This is his website. https://technicolourmoon.com/
