Is there anything to do in the Galeria? I wondered about visiting every time I go by on the A1.

there used to be a nice (for the price) Chinese buffet there, but idk if it's still there or not

apart from that, it's just your bog-standard mall

Genuinely thought the green sign was a Colston statue protest thing for a few seconds until I realised it was a public safety notice.

Is this the next thing for the blueticks to worry about? Social justice campaigners have moved on from chucking racist statues in the Floating Harbour to outside broadcast trucks?

And IMHO :tinfoil: :tinfoil: it seems that this and the 'green duty' to be added now when gas prices are shooting through the roof are designed specifically to undermine the greening of the UK because I imagine (and maybe I'm wrong) that The People will not be happy bunnies at all and demand an end to greening. (As well as the property transfer thing.)


It's this. Either the telegraph or times went off half-cocked and was already blaming the fuel shortages on environmentalism

add to that things like 'insulate britain' who's entire existence appears to be to poison the public towards any kind of climate activism. Combine this with the leaked COP26 papers that have various governments demanding any mention of 'climate activism' be removed. Yeah the west is definitely mobilizing against any possible change in society due to climate pressure.

I can absolutely imagine this Labour looking at Islington North and thinking "this is a Labour safe seat, lets run a Starmer ally here", which means they'll run as tedious an pliant a centrist as you can possibly imagine, who will then eat poo poo.

I know this is a few pages back, but I'm now hoping in 2024 Starmer decides to once again show the clean break with the previous Labour leader and he parachutes himself in to stand against Corbyn.

Soo the perennial 'which ISP is good'. I was happy with Zen with my Unlimited Fibre One (14 quid line rental, 10 quid fibre a month) but now when I go on their website to get internet at the new place the lowest speed option they'll offer me is 38 quid a month, not counting line rental, for an 18 month contract which seems just a bit steep. Possibly it doesn't help my new address doesn't have fttc apparently?

I know about Andrews and Arnold, had them before and liked them except you get a 500 gig a month download cap and then have to pay to top up. However, given their ADSL option is 35 quid with copper pair, Zen have somehow succeeded in making them look cheap. Any other decent options?

Edit: I guess I can do A&A with a 6 month contract and switch if I need to later.

If there's one conspiracy you can safely believe this government will not be engaged in, it's one that would dramatically reduce house prices.

I think that it wouldn't just dramatically reduce prices (which would be good on the face of it), but it would make them completely unobtainable by anyone except cash buyers as mortgage lenders would refuse to lend at all on them. So there would be a massive transfer of property ownership to a few people who can afford to cash buy.

See how mortgage lenders reacted to the 'global financial crisis' where even if you have an unblemished record of forking out £1200 per month rent, you can't get a mortgage costing £600 per month, the whole cladding thing where it seems to me (and just a cursory glance - not gone into in detail) that they have clamped down on practically every clad property, not just high rises or type of cladding.

Also ISP chat:

Anyone on 5G home broadband? I'm considering it because it's very good from a price-speed perspective, and I have solid 5G connectivity around here. Virgin have offered me 213 Mbps for like £25 after I cancelled with them but I can get 5g for £26 and my Three mobile 5g is speedtesting at like 300-800 Mbps.

Just a bit concerned about gaming with it, since a few people at work have mentioned that it might not be the greatest for that.

As i grow older I seem to be developing an especially strong detestation of Tories, currently leading me towards a captive bolt gun (à la "No Country For Old Men") and a tank full of pig slurry as the cure for their existence. :commissar:

And no i can't do in any local MPs as N.I. doesn't have those type of Tories.

Thatcher was a lot of things but she was also extremely conservative and all about the rules and conventions. This whole "gently caress the norms" thing didn't *start* with Brexit - personally I date it to the GFC - but Brexit is definitely what's kicked it up to the current fever pitch.
