After all the horrible things Kweith has done people simply refuse to talk about him. Burned down the labour party for the insurance only to realize he'd forgotten to take the policy out in the first place.

Tbh I struggle to conceptualise Keir Starmer relaxing, or even existing in a non-work capacity at all, really.

OzyMandrill posted:Brexit was a years long project to sink the pound and profit from it. The harder the brexit, the lower the pound, the more money they made. This sounds very believable and interesting. Could you point me to any articles showing how they're profiting? Know JRM's oval office father has a book about profiting from economic collapse, but I don't know the specifics.

Tesseraction posted:lol Kate Middleton is trending on Twitter because she demanded Meghan Markle wear tights to her own wedding and was surprised and extremely angry when the bridge-to-be told her no, leading to the hashtag #DuchessOfTights I don't think this is right? And it is of course pretty important to get right. It was her small daughter being allowed to wear tights and Megan said no cos it would spoil the whole bloody wedding.

Pointless news chat: https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/kate-middleton-meghan-markle-royal-wedding-argument-tights/ quote:Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle's Royal Wedding Argument Was Over Tights and Dress Hems, Royal Author Claims Women involved in weddings - brides, bridesmaids, mothers, mothers-in-law almost always end up squabbling (unless it's one of those couple + 2 witnesses dragged in from the street type weddings) about dresses and hats and whatnot. I don't know about men involved in weddings, they seem to carry on as normal, in blissful ignorance, until a week before the wedding when mother/mother-in-law drags them down to Moss Bros or wherever to hire their kilt (why do so many grooms who have never been near Scotland wear kilts at weddings? A thorough-bred Welsh friend of mine did!)

Looks like British Airways staff successfully twisted the arms of the fatcats for a 13% pay rise. They also mention reversing the 10% pay cut from during the pandemic. I'm not sure if that's /0.9 and then *.13 or if it's just the *.13 but still, they seem happy with the outcome.

Failed Imagineer posted:In my mind he just return to his alcove to recharge like a Borg, or else swap out for one of his replacement heads like Kryten. Some kind of poo poo robot anyway I read a Will Self story once set in a pub where one of the characters was secretly an alien. Each night it'd leave the pub and return to a house which looked normal from the exterior but which was completely empty inside and the alien would simply stand silently in one of the rooms and wait for the morning, upon which they'd leave the house and resume their character again. Anyway, I assume Starmer's home life is pretty much like that.

Surprisingly brave take from an ex-Tory Labour MP with a very poor record on LGBT rights. Can't see how this will win him many friends in either his past or present circles: https://twitter.com/christian4burys/status/1550041822596141059?s=21&t=reZu5lHxGgss1t9lo0gVVw

Dabir posted:Caledonian Hotel Unsurprisingly there's already a quite famous Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, just off the west end of Princes Street (round the corner from where the Edinburgh Gin distillery is). Think it used to belong to one of the pre-consolidation railway companies, the building is actually the old Princes Street station which got shutdown pre-Breeching. Well, part of it is anyway. It's less than a miles walk from Waverley Station so after British Rail was formed it was felt there really didn't need to be 2 big terminuses in Edinburgh. Mind you, Glasgow kept its 2 terminuses & if anything they are even closer together, it's a 10 minute leisurely stroll. Score another for Glasgow over Edinburgh. Actually I'm pretty sure every town & city & a quarter of the villages in Scotland have a Caley hotel, or at least used to. Inverness used to have one by the river, before my day. This has been your Scottish hotel history minute, thanks for listening.

The UK media completely ignoring the Forde report is kind of eerie when you compare it to the shrieking hysteria of the Corbyn years, even to a bitter old cynic like me. Bring on Prime Minister Truss, the country thoroughly deserves it.
