I bought it for my wife (we played together a lot when first a couple) and she went from can't wait to this is great to bored now to not playing in about three days.





So I've got a nearly new WOW Classic-capable laptop for sale if they manage to persuade you.

WoW classic will be fun for nostalgia reasons for few weeks, and then you'll remember grinding 57-60 by killing Plague Boars or some poo poo.

BoJo is such a massive gently caress up that if he goes to prison as en electioneering tactic he'll probably get sent away for over a year which will make him ineligible to stand for MP.

Would it actually be prison though? He might be bound by law to do something but that doesn't exactly mean that he's going to be arrested and sentenced on the spot for not doing it. It'd just compound the constitutional issues that have been woken up and make his dictorial desires more obvious while hopefully parliament still has the authority to do something about it.

Jesus loving Christ. This, this so so unbelievably ignorant :psypop:

Every major trade deal since the WTO Uruguay round has nearly/completely died on its arse over anything involving agricultural products. It's the 20,000 volt live wire of trade negotiations.

The idea alone that a post-Brexit UK would get to dictate those kinds of terms to the US requires magical thinking at a galactic scale.

I know, but sometimes it just really hits me.

I've been following the EU-Mercosur for a while now and that one took 20 years to get done, and agricultural imports from South America almost killed it so many times. We're talking about an extra 1% imported of the total EU production and still that almost loving did it in.

Just goddamn it.

wait the literal tower of london?

that doesn't actually solve the problem though if the next guy in line doesn't go get the extension instead. Can he just sit in the Tower refusing and thus force England over the Brexit cliff?

I don't think it's the tower of london because that's a royal thing. I think it's either the clock tower or the archival tower, one of the two attached to the palace of westminster.

It's got more than two but those are the big two.

Good solid pod there, keep em coming.

Labour Party policy question: is there any detail on potential changes to finance and trading with the global south? I'm thinking of stuff like debt cancellation, stopping tax dodging by transfer pricing, and similar? I can't really find much in Labour's 2017 Manifesto; the Greens were actually surprisingly good on it and I'm wondering if Labour are planning something.

Asked by reporters whether he would ignore the legal requirement to write to Brussels for an extension to article 50, the prime minister dropped the “die in a ditch” rhetoric he used on Thursday. After a dawn visit to Peterhead’s fish market several hours earlier, Johnson seemed tired, taking several attempts to answer questions.

He can't be PM in jail. Ergo it's not going to happen. He values himself way WAY more than he ever valued no deal.
