Jaeluni Asjil posted:OMG - you have read that book (ed: Way of Wyrd Brian Bates)? I read it about 30 years ago. A friend and I were really into the band Skyclad (he more than me) and that's how we got into that book. Guavanaut posted:Silent disco but for speeches would be a great idea. You could have multiple different speakers on at the same time, and one channel for music. ..and you could all stay home and listen to your chosen channel. Wait, I think you just reinvented radio. Swap out a boombox for all those headphones imo - any attempt to silence it falls foul of their own "no stifling free speech" entitlement.

Why does the monarchy need to be replaced with an elected head of state? Like we could scrap the monarchy and have the President of the Privy Council be head of state. That would be JRM at present, but they'd only be exercising a limited set of powers anyway. Or just have no formal head of state, like Switzerland. It doesn't need to be a binary choice between a US style executive president (which is what most of the public is thinking when they hear 'elected head of state') and a monarch.

Wait I was thinking of the zoomer zombie comedy series Daybreak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P9U41e75tE (The series that finally made me feel old and out of touch with youth culture) Daybreakers was also a good movie though, I might actually go watch it right now.

Apropos of absolutely nothing and weeks late to the party, but it feels like I'm the first person to notice that the government describing completed things as "oven ready" is a massive non-sequitur. Oven ready means it still needs to be cooked.

Yeah, so for those in here who don't follow the doomsday economics thread tomorrow is looking very, very bad. We might be looking at another black monday situation. Or maybe not! Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, etc.  (I moved all of my pensions into cash before Christmas).

Okay I just double checked, the financial services compensation scheme covers 'small company' bank accounts up to £85,000, same as it covers personal bank accounts. No need to desperately take extra dividends from the company I haven't quite shut down tonight. p.s. that means anyone in this thread who isn't directly exposed to the stock market is probably only hosed in terms of businesses dying, losing jobs etc. Not losing savings.

No need to desperately take extra dividends from the company I haven't quite shut down tonight. I was going to mention that unless you're a right moneybags your account should be covered by the compensation. And if that's not being paid out you should have put your savings into more bog roll and as many pop rivets as you can stick into your leather jacket.
