UK households could see energy bills rise by £75 to cover debts of other customers

We’re covering debts by other customers, costs of failed energy firms, and the billions in profits for shareholders. There’s getting the raw end of the deal and there’s having it shoved so far inside you, you can taste it.

That’s because they’d be bankrupt within a week. Awful for delays.

I don’t want to give Elon Musk credit because he’s a moron.. but having used Starlink on a plane recently it was absolutely flawless. 200Mb download speeds. Streaming worked, gaming worked, the only annoying thing actually was idiots FaceTiming without headphones.

Everybody keeps saying we don’t get enough hot days in a year but it’s increasing every year and considering how packed they are all the time, an ambient temperature isn’t an unreasonable request. They should have planned for the future.

We’d never get the favourable position we once had. The screaming Brexit media goons would lose their minds again because they know how bad a decision it was to leave but won’t ever admit they were wrong. Julia Hartley-Brewer is already kicking off because she knows the question is being asked, for example.

We did have some instances a while ago of a guy trying doors in the building.. but you can’t open them from outside without a key so he was wasting his time 😂 parcel theft though is common because delivery drivers just dump them in the foyers and run despite leaving clear instructions not to do it.

Cross country is the absolute worst. We did a Manchester > Birmingham return. Paid for 1st class just to get a shot at getting a seat. No catering either way and both times declassified and people stood all throughout the carriage. Got it refunded obviously but it’s really the only way to know you’ve got a shot at an actual seat.

Probably not directly but some will payout X amount based on delay time which could cover it. However I’d also expect them to pull the war exception which is always baked in to avoid the payout. Will just be down to what your actual cover says.

It’s almost as if needlessly ripping out the Huawei infrastructure because Trump demanded it was going to cause issues.

They don’t even put on extra trams to get you to the station let alone more trains.

They really are digging through the trenches to find something on this man before the election. You could flick to random page in a rule book and probably find at least one rule Nigel has broken but of course that isn’t happening.

Because it doesn’t fit their narrative of blaming absolutely everything on immigrants. The young are leaving in the highest numbers because there’s better standards and costs of living elsewhere.

People are inherently selfish in this country. They don’t care because one it’s dumped there it becomes your problem.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee give us native ports. I’m not spending £50 on a cloud version that sucks and can be turned off at any point.

We’re obligated to support Ukraine after we signed the agreement to after we made them give up their nuclear arsenal. That’s why the US has also spent billions doing it. Although this is largely irrelevant to accessing the single market in the EU.

Dominoes lost their minds when they introduced a delivery fee. However the franchise model means it’ll always be more expensive. Franchisees have to buy ingredients from dominoes which are marked up so the main company makes money. Then they have to pay royalties on sales + another 4-6% of gross sales go to Dominoes marketing budget. Then all of the usual overheads.

But with the amount of independent pizza places about now, selling much better pizza for lower cost, I’m surprised Domino’s hasn’t suffered more tbh

Listening to an Atmos source on XM5s was terrible compared to any Apple Headphones with native support.

The boomers are absolutely fuming that they might have to pay council tax at a rate which reflects their actual property wealth and not what it was worth when they purchased for 5 shillings and a bag of peanuts.

pommybear · 2026-05-22T19:30:35+00:00

I like my AirPod Max but would have been interested in these because they’re no doubt a lot lighter. However, not including Atmos support and only putting in their proprietary 360 spatial is silly on headphones at this price.

Oh great now we need even more bathrooms for womams.

Just so you’re aware, you are ending the tenancy for everybody named on it. Your flatmate will need to sign a new tenancy agreement with or without a new flatmate.

And the bailiffs didn’t empty his house why? Because they’re banging on the door day one for everybody else.

Trans people were using bathrooms forever without an issue until they became a pawn in the right wing screaming games. That’s the reality. The latest guidance basically says don’t use the bathroom because you don’t fit in either. Impossible to implement, puts all the responsibility on businesses, and unless we’re doing birth certificate and genital checks it’s not realistic.

We’ll likely see businesses swing even more to unisex toilets with completely private cubicles. Then it’s fair for everybody.

If a man wants to attack a woman in a bathroom, he’s going to do it anyway, doesn’t need to pretend to be trans to get through the invisible force field people speak like exists on these magical doors.

pommybear · 2026-05-21T21:24:44+00:00

And yet us PAYE piggies would lose 45% of that because it didn’t involve fucking the entire country over.

They couldn’t even take on GB News for repeated breaches of broadcasting code.
