ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:The 7:20 stopper from Reading to Paddington would be fit to bursting by the time I needed to jump on at Burnham to go to Slough, quite why FGW thought a two car train was enough for a commuter service I don't know I'm always so greatful that I've never had to train commute while living in Reading. It's a pretty regular for "So and so is gonna be late to work today because thier train is poo poo." Also, the late stopping train from Paddington to Reading. AKA, you should have waited 10 minutes for the later faster train, enjoy your journey through hell sucker. I made the mistake once and it was not-good(TM) Also, gently caress the ongoing economic and social trends pushing everyone but the Super-Rich out of London. To the point where Swindon is London-Lite. Actually, just gently caress the rich.

It's a pretty regular for "So and so is gonna be late to work today because thier train is poo poo." I used to commute from Burnham to Staines. The journeys I needed to take took 4, 6 and 10 minutes respectively, and I would still have to leave my house at half six to get to work for 9

So, is this 5.5k instead of being rebounded, paying for funerals, etc? If it does come with caveats I'd tell them to gently caress off and I will see them in court. The evil, conniving bastards. The worst thing is, some people will be so desperate the will snatch the governments hand off.

We have a country planned around "if you live within 50 miles of London then you can just work there, so we don't give a gently caress", and building entire new towns with nothing in them except housing where the plans for getting those people into London is "drive to a town with a station". We deserve the severe loving we are about to receive.

XMNN posted:maybe justine greening? shes about the only reasonably prominent conservative i cant immediately think of something awful about Same sort of boat as Rudd; it was a close call for her seat - like 1000 votes, with the Labour candidate gaining a 10% swing, while hers decreased by that amount. Also would be in the spotlight as an open lesbian potentially working with the homophobic DUP.

PST posted:Someone on twitter going through the backlog of RBKC Housing Committee minutes gently caress me, they pat themselves on the back about getting six "substantial" ratings. Every single one of them has to do with getting money out of the tenants. Health and Safety didn't do so well but look how well we can maximise cashflow. e: tell a lie, two of them were for "Leasehold Consultation" which if the leaseholders there are anything like they are round here were mostly "Are we making the BTR landlords happy?" and Disaster Recovery. Hmm.

They haven't given any specifics about this at all beyond it apparently exists.

I still dont understand how Rudd "won". when the other person had more votes and why she was allowed to keep demanding recounts until the moe fell in her favour or why they then stopped the recounts Didnt they have to recount like seven times before they got it "right" and found her to be the winner?

If they don't want to have a separately PR/STV elected leader of the executive then they could just pull a PM from the Lords, no chance of them losing their seat then.

It was a real tight thing - a difference of 300 votes. Only twice; the seven times was a misreport.

It would be so embarrassing having Gove as prime minister. Seeing him on TV wetly flapping his hands at world leaders while his mouth silently opens and closes like a gasping fish. I feel like we'd see him getting a noogie from Merkel at the next G7, I dunno what would even happen if he ever met Putin.

When its tight you ask for a recount and everyone counts again to make sure everything is super correct and that made a few simple mistakes. This is how things should be done. Don't be a dumb  idiot about this.

It's not like a bunch of sixth formers suddenly were given seats and control of the party; they just were uncertain about what side to back until the election where it became apparent there was a winning and a losing horse so for the most part they'll get behind the winner and enthusiastically supporting them when they want something done.
