Julio Cruz posted:it's the Scone of Stone, because dwarf bread is made out of rock Like they creatively go on about what it's made of and the dwarven bakers and the properties (the main one being that you take it out of your pocket when you're hungry, think about eating it, then put it back, the other being you can throw it at people) and it's implied but never stated to be a bread made of rock, but it would just as well apply to a rock you just found.

just fyi if anyone's watching Grand Designs there's a property developer who's currently  ing that his contractors are actually knocking off at 4pm instead of working harder/later like he'd really like them toit's pretty good schadenfreude also his design is all based around circles, then when everyone told him how complicated building circular buildings is his response was "no I think it'll be easy actually" he's currently 2 months behind schedule and way over budget

Phone chat. People saying their number when they pick up may be a remnant from old time movies. My mother doesn't say a thing when she picks up the phone. She learned that cold call scammers will only react if you talk first. And if there's no one talking after 30 seconds, she puts it down.

It is nice to have something 'for you' in your place of occupancy too, but that doesn't require land ownership or obsessive redesign.

"Nigel Farage has said that the Conservative Party and the Brexit Party would be "unstoppable" if they formed a pact to work together at the next general election. The Brexit Party leader said: "What I am saying is I am somewhat disappointed that I offer a genuine hand of friendship and I say 'come on Boris Johnson, let's get the leavers of this country united, let's fight a general election because it is coming at some point before too long'." Farage disappointed at self for reaching out to flailing Walrus.

Jedit posted:Yes, but that doesn't mean that the public get to see it unredacted. One of the side-benefits for Boris of proroguing parliament is that there's no chance of an uppity MP reading the complete unredacted document live on BBC Parliament. At least not until tuesday.

i'll say it again - i think a bxp con electoral alliance is basically a lock. if they can't do it in public, it will be a backroom thing - weaker candidates instead of straight up not standing eg.

Weaker candidates would still be a bloodbath, just not quite as big a bloodbath. Most people don't vote for the local candidate, they vote for the leader or party. The Brexit Party fielding a complete washout of a candidate would still be enough to destabilise a Tory marginal.

The thing is it doesn't matter how "strong" or "weak" the person is, it's that their vote share cannibalises each other.

Josef bugman posted:True, but once again it's only going to be crazy people, such as ourselves, who are doing this/paying that much attention. I hope so! RabidWeasel posted:From seeing how it was shown on the news during the day (we have it on in the office which has been pleasingly amusing recently) it felt like Corbyn got at least as much screen time as Watson which was good, though before the proroguation judgement came out there was quite a lot of bullshit being thrown around by talking heads as you might expect. Len McCluskey dropped some loving huge shade on Watson which was hilarious and they even let him do a pretty long bit on how Labour's brexit policy is the only one which makes sense. To be fair I didn't see it properly, just appeared like Watson was getting a minute or two of speech delivery, so maybe I missed Corbs etc and it was more "trouble in t'Labour again" than anything else

Julio Cruz posted:see also weddings I was going to add that but at least weddings have guests and you throw a big party even if it's ludicruously overblown and dumb. Guavanaut posted:I would like my home to be perfect for me, but that's more like "I'd like to be able to stand up properly in the shower" (loving sloping bathroom roofs are one of the things I really don't like about old terraced houses with retrofitted bathrooms and whatever genius last did the bathroom put the shower in the low corner) rather than a circular rotating kitchen and a swimming pool. Yeah exactly, just having personal space and facilities which suit you is a far cry from most of the stuff you get on Grand Designs and similar shows.

One of my friends, who is very lovely but has anxiety issues and is nigh on terminally "apperance based" when it comes to politics, had a wedding that cost £25,000. That is nigh on two years of wages for me. It's incredible how much people spend on it. The day was lovely but still whooo boy. Also if I had silly money I would probably build a nice mock up farming village from the Iron Age.
