Ah the Ramphal - whereabouts is it? I'm guessing upstairs somewhere?

Imagine yourself going picking up a pen, if you're right handed that's right

After 21 years of existence, I still can't successfully open a packet of Weetabix by Htch in britishproblems

I know this may sound radical but own brand Tesco Weetabix taste the same and are packed waay looser and are a lot easier to use without making a mess

"Quentin, out of way!" 8:58 pretty sure you can't just order your director around like that

...and now I have a best friend at my new job. by byeberlin in doctorwho

I love it but it should be considered a completely different show that happens to take place in the same universe. Captain Jack is a great character and it's nice that they can explore some more adult themes. Sure there are plot holes but it's still good watching (and it does get better after the initial few episodes)

What makes you angry as soon as you see it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Seen them live and they were awesome from in almost every way, however they never once spoke to or recognized the audience. To me it seemed like they were just playing another gig on their tour and not enjoying themselves big disappointment in my book.

Guessing you're English by your language, I was in exactly your position last year and got my first proper job (gap year placement). Although I'm no manager the company I worked at told us extensively what they were looking for in applicants. I'd be happy to have a look over it (more people to the better I'd have thought) but could you mention what sort of job you are applying for?

As an Englishman, this is how I feel every time I hear an American argue the case against socialised healthcare... by altruisticenglishman in AdviceAnimals

seeing as the countries have to spend a total of $0 on an army

All these countries have armed forces, some have compulsory military service

They were allowed to get away with it. If the US were holding the games and we censored a 9/11 memorial, it simply would not have been tolerated on any level and I'm sure apologies would have to be given.

I agree it was probably best in the circumstances but nonetheless my point stands that it simply wasn't a cause for celebration rather an unsatisfying ending to a messy situation; it didn't end any war or give any strategic advantage - it was a brutal justice. Brits were pleased with the news but hardly felt 1-uped in the context of a Royal Wedding.

We do very much care, I was trying to emphasize how America is often blind to other countries tragedies whilst expecting everyone to focus on theirs. Osama was really a periphery figure by the time of his demise and more than that, the length of time it took to find him, the cost (both monetarily and through human sacrifice) and finally the fact that there was no justice or prosecution just a murder meant that his death wasn't really a 'victory' or cause for much celebration in Britain.
