I saw that ‘meme’ via former Welsh international David Cotterill, who seems to be giving David Icke a run for his money in the ‘batshit ex-footballer’ stakes these days.

Shame that prick's doing his best to sully it.

I wouldn't mind thunderstorms but after more powercuts in 6 months than I ever experienced in my life, seeing a flash of lightning followed by the lights and fan cutting out and then the thunder just makes me anxious now. It didn't last long, but I loving hate resetting everything.

It might be more like 8-9 months at this point to be fair, and the strong winds from at the beginning of the year (Feb??) were responsible for most, but there were one or two both before and after then. It's just peculiar to experience 3 or 4 max in London/Kent over 30 years and then get half a dozen concentrated into less than one.

Certainly here in Oxbridge I used to get power cuts all the time but as we became a hub for Londoners escaping the bastard house prices of the metropolis our infrastructure mysteriously got way better too.

It's the heat exchanger for the refrigeration block, they were overheating so somebody has cable tied a hosepipe to a stepladder and pointed it at the heat exchanger and has been running it all day to keep the freezer working In practice I'm not sure if this isn't just swapping the risk of the heat exchanger catching fire because it's too hot, with catching fire because of an electrical fault, but hey ho.

Yeah it didn't have a lightning bolt sign on it but I just thought it was funny. I would hope it was someone who vaguely knew what they were doing who came up with it at least. They also had to switch off one of the fridge banks presumably to keep the rest running.

No, but I thought I knew everything then. Also the article conflates leftist with remainer which, wow, was wrong about and continue to be wrong about, in the same way leftism and progressivism are generally aligned, but then you have your Galloways and Livingstones.

Cimber posted:"Eeeew. We want to be able to claim to be the left party, but...that man? Really? An actual leftist? No no no, that won't do, what will our corporate sponsors think!" Yes, more or less. The UK labour party has always had issues between the actual lefties and the managerial "sensible politics" types but blair winning in 97 coincided with him really capturing the apparatus of the party, and also absolutely haemmorhaging votes and creating a whole generation of "they're all the same" types as well as a whole generation of "daddy blair uwu please privatise me" types who are still in the party. Keir Starmer was appointed chief prosecutor under blair so he is in many respects a horrible reventant of that era (though less so than actual lich tony blair perhaps) So the party institutionally is full of horrible liberals and corbyn basically ran as one of a little crew of lefties who cobble together enough votes to nominate a lefty each time, but because the party had introduced one man one vote leadership elections under milliband, he absolutely wiped the floor with all of the middle manager candidates after milliband's loss in 2015, and the ticks dug into the hide of the party never got over it and spent his entire term trying to sabotage him to prove that leftism cannot work.
