CGI Stardust posted:for the love of god don't tell Redmond this or he'll try and revoke any and all regulations that stop vans being filled with flammable liquid This was my first thought - not that they didn't appreciate the difference, but that they did know the difference and were going to tear up all the rules and regs so you could drive a lorry on a moped license or something. You can see it now - Help Drive Britain Forward. Like when they let enthusiasts have a go at driving trains during the General Strike.

I finally got around to leaving Unison, so if anyone has advice one to join for the charity sector that'd be much appreciated Mind if I ask your reasons for leaving Unison? I'm a member myself and I've been finding them pretty toothless regarding current issues at my workplace and was thinking of joining another one.

I see Reeves has announced £28bn a year of spending on green policies, which on the face of it seems alright to me? I’m sure there’ll be any number of gotchas to it which makes it useless though, has anyone read into it yet?

goddamnedtwisto posted:This came up last time everyone was panic buying - IIRC: About 3 years ago, I (with some help from mum) cleared out the giant shed in my folks garden. The first thing we did was take out all the liquids that we could reach without moving too much stuff - including petrol, oil, paint stripper, paint, and god knows what. After clearing it with the local waste place first, we stuck it all in the back of the car and drove the 10 miles at about 20mph to the waste place praying noone would run into the back of us. The car is one of those mini cooper things, the back was right down and absolutely full. Considerably more than 20litres in there! Definitely the most terrifying part of the clear up!

We used to be good at railways. Strange to be on a train station in Egypt which bore a striking resemblance to East Croydon train station albeit somewhat scruffier! British railway engineering late 19th/early 20th century was fab. Slightly adjacent: couldn't help noticing this fascinating, old article on the Palestinian railways. https://www.railwaywondersoftheworld.com/palestine.html

We did the same, we inherited a relatives house where there had been a garage for 70+ years. It housed the first car in our town back then, and turned into the town's garage when others got theirs. It wasn't big, but the floor sloped upwards towards the back. Then there was just a heap of rusted metallic debris chest high. Clearing it out was like bomb disposal, we would find jars full of stuff that must have been oil or old engine remnants. Then we found out the floor was actually level and it was just compacted poo poo from years and years of garage trash. Thankfully our waste dump was a few minutes away.

Dad was somewhat of a hoarder (not as bad as on tv) but clearing out the shed we found so many duplicate items where he had obviously been unable to find something he already had and just bought a new one. It took 14 very hard labour days (non-consecutive and mostly just me) and numerous trips to the waste places. sebzilla posted:https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1442555117182537728?s=19 I've got a lot of time for Zarah.

https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1442563471955005443?s=21 Have been thinking to myself that perhaps a large part of why the younger generation is so left-wing (outside of how plainly they get hosed over by older generations) and definitely a large contributing factor to distrust of the media is how easy it is to just see politicians and journalists outright lying these days. Back in the day you might remember something someone said but looking it up, confirming it, showing to others would have been such a pain. Now you can just do a quick Google or search someone's Twitter feed and be instantly letting everyone know. AND YET the BBC chief political correspondent apparently can't believe that someone could just look this up and must be being pushed by some nefarious third party. As the replies all point out, this video is literally taken from Starmer's Twitter account less than 2 years ago. She's barely any older than me, how is she and virtually everyone else in political journalism so utterly unable to adapt to this?

Equally Muscovites who find themselves through extreme misfortune on the Eastern Front of London (Gants Hill) will find the tube station very familiar:  (London Transport had provided advice on the construction of the Moscow Metro; the architecture of the stations left a lasting impression on the staff who had travelled over there to help. Gants Hill in particular was a direct lift of the "People's Palace" design ethos the Soviets had used for the stations, and some people claim the design is intended to be a tribute to the Soviet Union's role in beating the Nazis. Possibly not coincidentally the architect of the station, Charles Holden, also designed Senate House for the University of London which was the model for the Ministry of Truth in 1984)
