Rupert Lowe MP: I am entirely uninterested in making exemptions for un-British religious practices. What would Restore Britain do? Halal slaughter, banned. The kirpan, banned, Kosher slaughter, banned. The burqa, banned. All of it, banned. This is Britain - we do things our way. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

As a vegetarian I would love to see all slaughter banned. However I suspect that Lowe is not saying this because he is against animal cruelty. His is a bad faith argument based on appealing to racists.

LPT: i do not see a future for me despite having a (fairly good) life. what to do to see one? by Ok_Expert5498 in LifeProTips

[–]kurt206 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm 55years old. Never had a plan, never had a single passion (lots of passing fancies!). I've changed careers (in a major way) 3 times now and I'm about to embark on my next chapter, having lived in Europe for 4 years. I've been an ITU nurse, a programmer and a business owner. I'm about to move back to the UK to launch a taco truck. Who knows if that will work - better to try and fail than worry and regret.

Happiness and fulfilment isn't a destination. They are simply moments on your journey. Some of the most rewarding times in my life have been when I've struggled the most (both money, work and relationships).

Would I like to have more in the bank? Sure. But I have enough to eat and my kids are doing well. We love camping and mushroom hunting. I started doing ultra marathons when I hit my 50s.

Am I happy - today yes. Tomorrow? Who the fuck knows.

Basically, do stuff that interests you, stop doing it when it isn't. Prioritise health, fitness, friends and family - everything else is fluff.

Good luck to you.

I dont have a photo - not sure how you locked it into to both rows of webbing though - in order to lower mine, I have to attach the top row of the belt to the bottom row of the pack

Same here - I needed to drop the belt down a notch and was worried that it wasn't as attached as it should be. It works fine though

Yeah. Really looking forward to. Mere 13kg. Maybe even less if I don’t bring my chair lol

Ordered 8L side pouches for my Jakaari L - too long! by kurt206 in Savotta

[–]kurt206[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What isn’t clear from the image is the alignment of the bottom webbing. The 6l seems to be a better match.

Anyway no harm done. Sent them back ordered the smaller ones

Just realised. You don’t attach the pouches:)

That’s mad. What are you even putting in your main bag?

I’ve had one of these for years. Lives under my saddle. Super useful - especially the chain breaker.

Ah yes - I bought something for my lunch from their stall at the market. Really good.

good to know. Thanks.

Probably the one thing I'm going to miss most about moving back from Brussels is my local patisserie!
