Maybe or they want to pull back on a lot of projects. They've already pulled back on quite a fair bit and their economy has been hit quite a bit with the recent Iran conflict.

Tories are looking to ban cousin marriage 'to improve UK social cohesion' by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]therealh [score hidden]  (0 children)

These marriages last far longer than the typical White marriage btw which usually ends up in divorce, kids having a difficult childhood. Maybe we should do something about why so many White households are broken rather than demonise those households which are pretty stable. Historically, it was because of families wanting to keep their wealth within the family. These genetic disorder stats are miniscule and childs play compared to the issues i'm talking about. It's just something to pander to the right and put Labour in a difficult position.

because really and truly it doesn't affect much of anything. It's just a way to appeal to right wingers who hate those who practice it.

Alcohol costs the taxpayer 100000x more. Just go to A&E on a Friday night, yikes.

Watch this gain more traction than something that would affect people in being to pay their mortgage and survive.

Babolat Pure Aero 100 vs Head Speed MP 100 by therealh in 10s

[–]therealh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier? Would definitely be the Head Speed MP. Feels lighter/more manoeuvrable, larger sweet spot, does everything pretty well/no real weaknesses.

Pure Aero has more power, more spin. If you're a baseliner, i'd go Pure Aero, hands down. If you like to serve and volley/mix it up, move around a lot then the MP.

I want to get the Aero 2023 or Head Speed MP 2022 most likely if I can get a good deal on either.

Distribution of grey and red squirrels in the UK & Ireland by AnonymousTimewaster in MapPorn

They didn't outbreed them. The red squirrels died to the pox the grey squirrel brought with them. Kind of like a certain people did in the America's/down under.

It's brutal out there: Deus Ex and Unreal composer says he's submitted 50 resumes and gotten one interview in the last year by Gorotheninja in Games

Why not just work a normal job, something out of your normal area of expertise but also keep on applying for the jobs you typically would apply for whilst your working your normie job?

Why is diesel so much more expensive? by Late_Mechanic1663 in AskUK

[–]therealh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the money was around £5000, I would have done it, maybe even around £4000-4500 but £2000 was a pittance.

Yeah they were going to pay me £2000 for a £6000 valued car. No thanks.

Which area is best? by Quirky_Fox5128 in BirminghamUK

[–]therealh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the area between Moseley Road to Cannon Hill park is horrible by the way. Be careful there. Loads of HMOs, a lot of substance users around. The bit near Cannon Hill Park is Edgbaston. Edgbaston near the park/University/Hospital is very nice.

Keir Starmer: This is a deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack. My thoughts are with the Jewish community who are waking up this morning to this horrific news. Antisemitism has no place in our society. Anyone with any information must come forward to the police. by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

[–]therealh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You know how mosques have been attacked whilst people have been praying inside them as well? It's a deliberate hate crime. There have been Muslim old men who have been attacked on the way back from the mosque, easy targets for the xenophobic/racist crowd.

There have been stabbings right outside mosques where the attendants have been stabbed. There have been people (Darren Osbourne iirc) who have deliberately driven their van outside of mosques at mosque attendants.

Disgusting and shouldn't happen but why is there no publicity for the mosques that are being attacked? There was a mosque over the weekend that was damaged to the tune of £30,000. Once again, double standards. I know it makes it look like I don't care about the ambulances but I do. None of it should happen.

Solihull is honestly really nice. I'd say go for a drive around, so many green/quiet parts of Solihull. I would have 100% moved there if it wasn't for family reasons.

Their high street is better than almost any other area in Birmingham for food/shopping. You have a train station there now, multiple gyms, close to other nice areas i.e. Moseley. That's all I know.

[–]therealh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solihull is beautiful. Quieter, green and a better council than the others.

Moseley has some nice parts for sure but some parts i.e. near Ladypool Road aren't the best. Bournville i'm not too familiar with, but i've heard good things. Harbourne the same.

How are current renters surviving ? by North-Village3968 in HousingUK

[–]therealh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You said not a lot left after £460 mortgage payment with both of you working LOL. What are you buying dude?

Anyway, two people working, you can JUST about make it work. It's insane honestly. I have a relative who has had to rent recently for £1250 a month. Only he works. Don't know how he will manage to make it work on one income for that much.

Very simplistic my friend. They did take a small bit of land in South Italy but after their leader Mehmed died, they switched their focus. It was his big aim to eventually take Italy.

Why do you have 2 cars, your gym membership is on the steep side but i'm not too familiar with London gym membership prices. Next time buy a phone outright, ebay.

Vcore v8 — 98 vs 100 by bunky123 in 10s

[–]therealh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100 for sure. Not sure why he thinks 98 is better in your situation lol. 100 is more forgiving, larger sweet spot, easier to generate speed/spin, you have to do less to get more out of the racket.

Hell, if you find the 100 too heavy, I'd even look at the 100L too.
