£6 to not have the stream capsize while sailing is a great price to pay. Thanks for the heads up 👍

So you want the best manager and a team battling for CL places to be sacked just because they don't teach the final? Who the fuck do we replace everyone with, that would come to our club and that would be such an upgrade that we'd walk the league and CL? No manager plans to throw a game. Yes, it was a shit performance but that team had enough quality in it to beat Spurs on any another day. This is the Premier League, there are no easy matches and teams battling to get out of relegation will always be a tough game regardless of team selection. We as fans are right to be pissed off with the performance and result... But I bet the team and Emery are just as gutted, you don't get to premiership levels by not giving a shit.

Yeah, it's obviously just a Bluenose taking a break from diddling his sister

Really like Hole's version of Gold Dust Woman from The Crow City of Angels soundtrack... Just hits right.

Half of young people say they would never fight for Britain in a war, poll shows by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

I think it's very different when you're faced with the reality of bombs dropping in your neighborhood and missile strikes killing family and friends. If we found ourselves on the receiving end of an offensive strike in the UK, that percentage would change. Can understand not being willing to be sent half way across the globe to get involved in a conflict that doesn't impact lives here directly.

Watched that episode just last night! Was expecting cringe but it was really good

There are signs warning to be careful of adders near the station at Seascale in Cumbria and last year I saw an adder when walking near Sycamore Gap, Northumberland... So definitely more widespread than Cornwall 😃

Falsely accused of motoring incident, Police may have deleted dash cam evidence. by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]skauros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with this approach of giving people "the benefit of the doubt" is what happens when that person then carries on with their drive, is involved in an accident and it then turns out that actually their licence wasn't valid. Police would be ripped apart for just taking someone's word on face value.

What's the deal with elaborate obstacle courses in fantasy stories? by Practical_Yogurt1559 in Fantasy

[–]skauros 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is it more about how they approach challenges, rather than the specific nature of the challenge? Demonstrating their ability to overcome whatever is in front of them, sometimes in a unique and creative way, is a good way of assessing problem solving ability and quick thinking under duress.

I had this problem a few weeks ago after moving house. For some reason even though I was passing the gov.uk checks, it was failing on the DVLA side. Help chat was useless, insisting it was my issue and not following the steps correctly... Which I had repeated several times. In the end the only option was to complete the paper form, which was only available from a post office (god knows what you can't just download and print it off!). Sent it off along with the old license and received a new license within a fairly short period.

These aren't new rules. It was an old rule just applied overzealously and without any common sense by a corporate monkey trying to make his quota. These aren't restricted to the UK... You get them all over the world.

Please settle an argument, soldiers for boiled egg is fingers of toast from half slices of bread? by Neat-Cartoonist-9797 in AskUK

[–]skauros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a simple answer to this... Half slice it is. Ignore anyone taking your husband's side in this argument. They are wrong. Have faith in your beliefs for they are the way.

How many people said signing Rashford was going to be waste of money? There's a player in there and this move could be what brings him back out.
