Ah, the 'No true Ashkenazim' defence.

Can't spell "Ashkenazi" without "Nazi", can you? Obviously non-Sephardi Jews are the real anti-Semites.

I read it's Nick Robinson. So he'll be interupting Corbyn every 5 seconds, with that expression of a man drinking sour piss his face pulls when anybody has the temerity to suggest anything remotely left wing.

I'm not. I think he'll come across like an unqualified buffoon, and less in a good way than he has on HIGNFY or something like it in the past. Corbyn will be Corbyn, but if you give Boris two-three minutes of uninterrupted speaking time where he's not in front of 200 baying, honking Tories or party faithful, I think he'll come across as not fit.

Boris Johnson has turned his failed “Brexit - do or die” pledge into a “do or dry”, claiming he has given up alcohol until after Brexit is sorted, PA Media reports.

But according to the report, the prime minister was “watched sipping whisky during a distillery visit in Scotland on Thursday, casting doubt on his commitment to the alcohol ban”.

Coming across as an unqualified buffoon is very on brand for him. They had a vox-pop in Kensington and they interviewed one person who said they knew noting about politics and generally didn't vote but were going to vote for Johnson because they liked his energy.

We were working on a secret project using the RuneScape Engine codenamed "Entity". It had multiple regions in play and currencies specific to each region that was also specific to a level range, this designing a perfect balanced economy with no way of doing RMT cause the owner hated RMT in RS2

It was never going to work, and it was BORING.

So we snagged the rights to Transformers and made a secret demo which got greenlit. And there is a huge tale about that shitshow that I'll probably effortpost at some point in the future.

If you go by Medieval Biblical literalism (which you shouldn't, but it's no more or less bollocks than any other race 'science') then all Germans are Ashkenazi, because they came from Ashkenaz, grandson of Japheth, and great-grandson of Noah, Japhetic peoples were Europeans in general, in contrast to Hametic people (Africans) and Semitic people (Middle Easterners).

These are the kind of knots that you have to tie yourself in to justify the whole world coming from two people somewhere in beyond the rivers, but it means that Ashkenazim (Jews and gentiles alike) aren't Semitic.

Some people did not like this idea.

Harry Patch is ten years dead now, the revision of World War I into a war for ARE FREEDOMS is basically complete.

e: Holy poo poo it's 30 years since Blackadder Goes Forth aired, which is both the last good thing either Richard Curtis or Ben Elton were ever involved with, and probably the last bit of media to actually attempt not to whitewash the insanity of that war (and war in general).

Hello thread, dumb question but since moving to the big city I've realised that on the tube tfl only take 10p when you use contactless on the tube then bills you the rest a few days later. Now I'm wondering what would happen if I were to use a secondary debit card with like 50p on it. The latter payment would be declined, but what are they going to do about it?
