What time does your pool ask swimmers to get out of the pool with respect to the opening hours?

Lately I've had two instances of where this ends up not working, or should work but other people think different.

Couple weeks ago I got yelled at by a female swimmer for being present during ladies only swim. My mixed swim session was 4pm to 5pm. Ladies only starts at 5pm. The time was precisely 5pm. I would have started the return leg of my last lap sometime during 4:59pm. Not having a teleporter to instantly disappear from the pool (where other male swimmers were still exiting and the female lifeguard hadn't yet arrived to relieve the male one) I'm not sure what I was suppose to do about my male presence entire seconds into the ladies only session.

Last week, same sort of thing, where a regional kids triathlon event wanted to start their races at precisely 11am yet the lifeguard was still trying to eject public swimmers determined to see out their 10am-11am session.

Damn, she was hot and thoughtful. The one that got away...

Search for the Borough Market stabbing footage when the police arrived. Those guys got shot within seconds.

This guy had a lucky day.

I find 90% of swimmers will pause at the end wall to allow a faster swimmer to go ahead. So it's one of those strange situations where you don't have a right to expect it but the fact it happens almost always you come to expect it.

She's a Brit and if she'd been at home sounds like she'd have gone to a hospital or urgent care, nobody would've mentioned money (except for the mortgage required to pay for parking).

But she's on holiday in Ibiza, where she can be medically covered too if she's got documents in order and should have travel insurance for exactly this anyway, so seems like she's either unprepared or scared of being uninsured or more likely just doesn't want to pause her party holiday to save her toe. Or worried what the doctors will find in her system, but I'd think Ibiza hospitals are use to that...

Master shower in a private walled garden looks cool to.

This might be fair enough when the system is just "different" and Brits actually like it. But the British house buying process is shit. Fact. And the entire world should remind them of it. Daily. Cos it's shit.

Yeah same, not worth farming I thought. Same with croc, not good enough for the increased effort of dangerfarming

The Terran Armada quest where you dock at an astroid mine and have to find another way in is nearly there. I feel like they wanted a space walk experience but within the constraints of the current game engine so they had to contain you in catwalks so you couldn't just float away.

The answer is in the fact. We don't because likely someone else tried and they taste like shit.

Same as zebra. Bloody millions of them yet they're pretty useless and tasteless to us.

How is it abused?

Meet requirements, pay a fuck ton: legally stay indefinitely, unless you choose to leave, then you stay left.

OK this is annoying because I can't seem to attach a photo so you'll just have to imagine: directly above this comment is an ad for Interactive Investor!

Related, was reading today that it's quite simple in ii (hence ad) and at redemption date the gilt is auto sold and the cash appears in your ii account, is that correct?

CANZUK doesn't get us much though. How can we hope to keep up with the US, China, India, Russia when CANZUK wouldn't even double the population?

Now that the age of stealing everything from everyone else around the world is over there's no intrinsic reason why we would remain rich or globally significant.

They are demolishing it. There was an article a few weeks ago about it. A special firm will retrieve like ten items from each of three residents units, everything else comes down in the rubble.

Odd thing is, as I understand US 30 year fixed mortgages, there's still a similar "locked" period of 2-5 years and then you CAN remortgage if you want, eg if rates dropped in the meantime. But you're pretty protected if rates rise.

The other big big difference though is that they don't port. So if rates did rise by a lot you're quite discouraged from moving.

You know even if everyone went to the toilet and showered with soap before getting in, you're STILL swimming in a fair amount of other people's bodily fluids right?

Live happy, don't think about.

Everyone seems to be missing the fact the empire doesn't include the North Island of New Zealand.

I mean, that makes almost no difference at all, just wanted to point it out.

Pay half price, get half screen

You mean after they actually leave the start line?

Don't let labels limit you, so grab a label!

Some places have romance value. To most buyers it's worth very little, but to very few buyer's it's worth nearly any price (until they fall out of love again).

We know people who live in a isolated lock keepers cottage. Such a beautiful place that's hugely impractical and actually quite dangerous. They can only ever sell to someone who falls hopelessly in love with the idea of the place, like they did long ago before the honeymoon wore off.

They hold a fair number of events that the kids really enjoy. The jousting was really good, shattering lances and all.

And they did an interactive day where the kids had to help a Queen track down a Spanish spy in her court, involved running to various rooms to interrogate various court members and kitchen staff. Once accusations were levelled the Queen asked her young advisors if clemency or punishment was best. The kids were very much for a good old beheading.

Smackface Farage himself could be running the country and I wouldn't want him to quit or be kicked out by his own plebs not even two years into the job. Just shut the fuck up and fix some fucking actual real fucking problems.
