If there's now a media focus on the flat parties, that might mean that photos of the flat post decoration might appear. I don't think any interior shots have been made public since the renovation, only photos of older installations by the same interior designer.

Z the IVth posted:Passport chat - I'm curious as to why doctors aren't allowed to sign unless they "know you personally" and they then exclude GPs from the list. A questionable 'friend' who lives near Romford in an area with a large Pakistani population has a theory that it is because there are so many scams (because of the demographic) that doctors have been banned.

It's the women who look like his mother and also find custard binbags sexually attractive. The list isn't as long as some people would have you believe, but the combination of those fetishes seems to provide an astonishing boost to fertility.

MIchael Phelps (the swimmer) has sparked a row about transgender swimmer Lia Thomas. Anyway, while reading the assorted comments on Facebook, someone mentioned Schuyler Bailar as a transman who competes with men and beats them. I hadn't heard of him before. The reason I am posting this is it might be a useful piece of info to know (if you didn't already) if you get caught in those debates at all. (I'm not fleshing this out too much because my eyes are closing and my brain needs sleep ZZZZzzzzzz )

goddamnedtwisto posted:In London the TfL traffic webcams are regularly turned off at the request of the police or government, certainly whenever there are protests or large-scale police operations in an area covered by them, but also when VIPs or high-profile prisoners are being moved[1], when the blue lorry is rolling[2], and sometimes for no discernible reason[3]. Oh and there's also a deliberate 3-minute delay put on the feeds around Westminster. Just because the people at the top are snorting incompetents, the civil service still has plenty of people with attention to detail and enough reflexive secrecy to realise that lots of journos (and fubpee weirdos) would never think to actually go look, but would definitely sit there with an M20 webcam open to look for evidence of delays. what IS that smell around the blackwall tunnel

I don't blame him in the slightest. Scotland is famous for putting anything in a pie that can't actively fight its way out through the crust, but at least most of it is edible. Scotch pies are just a solid blob of cheap gristly mince stuck to the bottom of a pastry case, and they're utterly disgusting.

The entire concept of the whips would probably collapse if MPs routinely recorded all their "quick words in private". Whip: A quick word in private, if we may? MP: Okay. [Muttered] Hey Siri, start voice recording. Whip: What was that? MP: Nothing. [Whistles]

(pretending to be) shocked about the blindingly obvious is literally all journalists do when they aren't just making things up entirely, so it's not very surprising.

I think the difference is that while it's fully expected that whips will threaten the career of an individual MP, threatening the welfare of their constituents is beyond the pale. There is a difference between saying "if you go against the whip you are never getting called up to a committee" and "if you vote against the whip we will close your local hospital"

Phelps was asked about it in an interview and ummed and ahhed, not really knowing what to say. He called for a fair and level playingfield and lol that now loads of people are attacking him for being an unfair genetic freak (their words not mine) just in himself. The problem is the winning, Lia Thomas is smashing records and winning everything whereas Schuyler Bailar is quoted as saying he used to be competing for wins but now is fighting for 16th place but that its worth it.

cyril sneeeer posted:what IS that smell around the blackwall tunnel Depends what you mean, and when you smelled it. Before 2000 the area was definitely one of the more interesting smellscapes in London. Working north-to-south you had: - The slack area at Bow Creek on the Lea (still happens but less frequently) - mostly smelled of stagnant salt water and assorted pollution - The Pura baby food factory at Leamouth (closed around 2005) - really weird musty smell, occasional burned food - The scrap yard just over the northern entrance to the tunnel - burned metal from cutting - The tunnel itself - diesel and petrol fumes obviously, with that weird petrichor smell whenever it rains - Northumberland Wharf, where rubbish from Tower Hamlets and a couple of other London boroughs is loaded onto barges for shipping down to landfills (or to go onto bigger ships off to Asia for "recycling") - general bin-lorry smell - The Nobel factory in west Silvertown - it makes paint, not dynamite, and is a fair distance from the tunnel, but it's responsible for a *fascinating* mix of smells - mostly hot plastic, but undertones of rotting fish, ozone, acetone, and really just about every other chemical smell you can think of. Also the last factory left of the massive chemical industry that used to exist around (and repurpose waste from) the old Beckton Gas Works, which would have made Silvertown and North Woolwich an area that stank even by the standards of pre-1953 London - The river itself - mostly doesn't smell these days unless there's been very heavy rain and the CSOs have overflown into it. - The chemical factories next to Greenwich Gas Works (closed 1997) - these were the *real* stink-makers. Lots and lots of rotten-egg hydrogen sulphide (yes, that *is* extravagantly poisonous), also a weird yeasty smell sometimes, plus all the other colours of the pollution rainbow - The Blue Circle cement plant west of the southern tunnel approach (closed 1997) - mostly a sort of hot, damp smell from the kilns, sometimes a hard-to-describe smell halfway between burned toast and burned sugar. There's a smaller concrete mixing plant on the southern edge of the site that just smells of diesel - The big recycling plant in Charlton - bin-lorry *and* burned metal and plastic smells - Finally there's an LPG evaporator plant at the southern edge of the gas works site, near the B&Q and Ikea, that smells of mercaptan (the stuff they add to natural gas to make it smell) if you're right next to it. Plus of course the smell of the savage, orc-like inhabitants of south London generally.

There used to be a chicken "factory" (people called it) near my school. If the wind was in a certain direction the smell was unholy. I haven't smelled anything like it before or since. People would run between lessons desperate to get inside.

We lived in Calne in Wiltshire for a few years in my youth. There was a Harris pork pie factory there (closed in 1982). The stench if the wind was blowing in the wrong direction was horrendous.

My high school was built right next to a decommissioned dyeworks and despite it not being used for about 20 years, it still loving stank of ammonia on a warm day. Lord knows what it must have been like while it was operating.

I don't see us "savage, orc-like inhabitants" of South London so aggressively, and mindlessly slagging off you (presumably) North Londoner's. Or maybe you were looking at a mirror when you typed this.
