Pistol_Pete posted:It's incredibly dumb because it's picking a fight on ground that Labour literally never can beat the Tories on. Everyone in Britain knows that flag-waving, poppy-brandishing, Spitfire-worshipping thing belongs to the Tories and they'll always Poppy harder than Labour can.  thespaceinvader posted:I got jabbed with Pfizer on Friday, wife's getting hers on Saturday.  BalloonFish posted:a fair portion of people will google "British soldier" will find an image of a 25-year old lance corporal in PCS 'casual' camo wearing a beret and armed with a standard SA80  which fair enough pointing people which way to go and making sure some qanan twat doesn't try to tip all the vaccines over is more productive than 99% of what hollywood movie beret mans get up to but it's not the look the memes are going for.

Guavanaut posted:I have a suggestion. So the Unionists like the Union Flag and the Queen's flag with the cats on, and the nats either like the various crosses that make up the flag or they hate everything to do with it depending on what type. So Kieth needs to stay the central route and go with a flag that in theory nobody should have any strong views on but in practice would slightly annoy everyone. yawroN having suffered a serious head wound.

Spangly A posted:I went looking around after this when Pfizer started going ballistic at the suggestion, and I found immunology professors and researchers in America suggesting it as far back as late october, early november. Apparently adenovirus-delivered vaccines for ebola worked better with unequal doses or a longer delay, so AZ included a just-significant sized group to see if the results repeated the effect. Mate things are so bad we have the highest proportional death toll in the world because the Tories didn't want to completely cancel Christmas and loads of people are at unsafe workplaces. Nothing's literally on fire at the moment but that's because it's cold, wet and most people are thinking their job might survive the pandemic. Edit: I got a vaccine because I work for the NHS and put myself on a reserve list in case there were slots going empty.

My 70s yo mother in NI hasn't heard poo poo about her getting it, some 80yo friends are saying they haven't been notified either. Seems the west of NI is getting the usual leftovers from the east.

Guavanaut posted:Found what goddamnedtwisto has been up to instead of huge posts about post offices. Actually my current squeeze is Dyson Sphere Project but I hit "Buy" on that so quickly I think my finger actually broke the speed of sound. Did I ever promise a post office post? TBH I'm fairly sure I've long since exhausted the subject with the only two interesting facts about it - that the GPO building was once famous enough that the CLR station outside St. Pauls was actually called "Post Office" when it opened (and of course Jago Hazzard has done a video about it) and the existence of Mail Rail (and the possibility it was to be used to evacuate the royals and upper government in the event of nuclear war).

sinky posted:Going to win the votes back with flegs, nationalism and smart suits This is actually extremely good news. Not because of Keith’s dogshit strategy, but because the Guardian has unambiguously come out against it, and a bit more ambiguously, though still significantly, against Starmer himself. Losing support of the Guardian is a huge blow.

In the article, Labour weakly try to deny that they're running this strategy but they blatantly are: we've been talking in this thread for a bit that Keith's forever appearing with flags and poppys and poo poo in the background when he does interviews.

Guavanaut posted:I'm sure that you mentioned a big post of some sort between unusual train propulsion and the walking tour of London project, but I can't recall the topic exactly. I've got three drafts sitting unfinished at the minute, with reasons they're unfinished: - Secret tunnels (bit hard to get pictures of, also went down a rabbit hole (heh) researching them without really finishing) - Spy buildings (got good pictures, just kept changing my mind about how I wanted to lay it out - it was this one that actually got the walking blog idea in my head and so I never went back to it) - Non-council mass house building (mostly just a rant about how much I hated bay windows, started boring even myself with it) I've also now got three walking blogs in draft: - Mile End Road (finished and recorded but not edited (and really needing rerecording because my mic is utter poo poo, was hoping for Amazon vouchers for Christmas to get one but I suppose I'll have to pay for it myself) - Brick Lane and Commercial Street (written but not recorded) - Battle of Cable Street (outlined, but I need to do a bit more research) and plans for 4 more (London Docks/Wapping, around the City walls, and a two-parter down the river from the Tower to Parliament) and a vague idea of doing at least some of the spy buildings and secret tunnels in a walk around Westminster but that needs a lot more work. I've put all these on the back burner over Christmas because obviously I had other stuff on and frankly I *hate* the sound of my own voice so editing was just a chore. I've got a vague plan to start releasing them in the spring when people are more likely to want to walk and also I've got a better idea of exactly *how* I'm going to release them (really should chat to the podcast peeps about that). Oh and also I'll need to kill Jago Hazard before I dare release them, obviously. Anyway this is just nudging me to get some of them done, but some utter bastard just alerted me to the existence of a game that lets me put public transport where it's *supposed* to be in London so there's no loving chance they'll see the light of day before autumn.

forkboy84 posted:I checked but they don't want to hire Antarctica's first ever dedicated wrestling watcher so gently caress the BAS's shocking lack of vision "shocking lack of vision" - they're not that bad. I got to deliver a presentation on my research there (Cambridge not Antarctica) and have a round table discussion and some of their researchers cited mine in their papers. When I graduated (81) I wanted to work in Antarctica but they didn't recruit women then  because they "didn't have suitable toilets". THAT was shocking lack of vision. I could have been down there, counting muons or neutrinos or something.Or digging up that plastic-eating bug that's been buried under antarctic ice for millenia but now, disturbed by science, surfaces and starts eating things with plastic in them (a story I remember every time the news does some wow article on how wonderful, we've discovered a plastic eating bug. I read that book, it didn't end well.) Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Feb 3, 2021 |

The neutrino observatory was rendered obsolete by the invention of toby young, who has a head so thick and a braincase so cavernous that it excludes all other emissions and neutrino collisions can be observed as they manifest in him tweeting.
