Not sure how much it holds up in Ottawa and three years later, but it was decent enough that when my first employer said they couldn't give me time off to visit my family I was confident enough to say "okay bye then"

I have trouble believing that even the Tories are stupid enough to plan an election immediately after Brexit. It’ll either be before it or as far after it as possible.

On the contrary, having an election right after brexit is genius: people can't vote if they're rioting over desperately avoiding starvation, after all.

It'll take a bit after Brexit before the full horror of what we've just done becomes apparent. Directly after Brexit is the best time for an election: Brexiting neuters BXP and everything that the last 3 years have been about politically becomes completely irrelevant in terms of further discussion, so then the brave Tories can say "Isn't that great, look how triumphant we are! We delivered Brexit and Jaromy Crobyn was trying to stop it because he's an Enemy Of The People. Now we can afford to fund our police and hospitals and schools with all of this NEW MONEY* and we have RECORD EMPLOYMENT** and THE BREXIT DIVIDEND*** and MORE POLICE****". *That isn't actually new and comes from savings which we told them they all had to make but couldn't spend and now we'll let them spend *some* of it. **If you include people working at least 1 hour per 12 years. ***Which we'll definitely be getting any time now as soon as we have a new trade deal with America who definitely won't ratfuck us into being a vassal state. ****Which still won't bring us back to the levels we had before austerity, which, by the way, will be continuing. Then the Tories will be in power for another definite 5 years thanks to the FTPA and they'll get to do DOUBLE-TIME CRONY CAPITALISM powered by Brexit whilst Scotland leaves the union and Ireland reunites and everything falls to poo poo and people starve and die due to foodborne illness from chlorinated chicken and medication shortages and turbo-austerity and rising temperatures. Then everything will go ultra-fash and the Tories will get even more votes the next time around and we'll genocide all the climate refugees and everything will be just fantastic. But it's cool because I'm in Canada where there's also rising fascism including a new Federal neo-nazi party that's just been set up, and also we have all of the business interests from America bearing down on us and new oil pipelines being built and poo poo, and the main parties are the Liberals and the Conservatives who are both poo poo and both polling at ~33%, and there's the NDP who I think are cool and good but they're polling at 13% for the upcoming Federal election. But hey at least house prices here aren't totally mental yet (unless you want to live in Toronto or Vancouver with the rest of the country currently catching up). loving balls.

When I moved to Vancouver I applied for exactly one job and got offered exactly one job, so uh... There's that? It's a job I'm simultaneously over AND under qualified for though so it's a kind of unique situation. You never know what weird niche opportunities will pop up. I can't decide what's bumming me out more these days, the whole Brexit debacle or the planet burning to death. I really hope Boris snaps and calls an election so at least I can feel like I'm doing SOMETHING by voting against him, if I can work out how to vote from overseas...

"Aesthetically pleasing" is kind of subjective, mind. Like, I reckon Barry town centre looks pretty good, all things considered. But I'm also not expecting someone to cross half the country to shop there. Then again I always thought Swansea city centre looked all right while my parents hate it, so maybe I'm not the best judge  .I understand good things are happening in Preston?

There’s not an aesthetically pleasing place to shop (or get non corporate chain poo poo) outside of London It's got plenty of corporate chain poo poo, but you'd be hard pressed to argue Princes Street isn't aesthetically pleasing:  Bonus, from the novel-not-the-film Marathon Man: quote:It was growing dark quickly, but Princes Street remained the most beautiful thoroughfare imaginable; nothing else in Edinburgh compared with it, nothing else in Scotland, nor Britain nor Europe nor this or any other world. It was a gift from the Almighty, as if someone had taken all the finest shops on Fifth Avenue and set them across from Central Park but then, instead of having it just be any old greenery, had made a great hill hundreds of feet high, topped off by a mighty gingerbread castle. If you had to pick a street to die on, you couldn't beat Princes.

Leicester city centre is certainly nothing special but it's not horrible either, and the bit around Highcross is actually pretty nice since they pedestrianised a chunk of it about a decade ago.

I agree about St. Peter's Square looking nice. Cathedral gardens not too terrible either. Leicester's town hall is poo poo though, and the new city hall is in an abandoned snooker hall lol. Like I can understand it isn't going to be as grand as Manchester's or Birmingham's, but when loving Nottingham is running rings around you in the civic architecture game something's gone very wrong.
