We were new cat owners and the first vet trip was done in a carboard box with air holes poked in. About five minutes from the vets, Sophie, a full grown ginger Tom (Who will live the next three years with us thinking he was a she. We wever VERY new cat owners) decides he's had enough, and smashes through the top of this box in what can only be described as the chestburster scene of Alien. the next five minutes is my bother and I trying to keep the cat inside this rapidly disingigrating box. Once the cat reaslised it could just headbut it's way through cardboard, it just kept at it. My Dad bought a proper cat box a the vets. it was the old corrigated blue plastic things, and it was dented as well by the end of the return journey, but held.

Mega Comrade posted:Littering isn't an issue you can just solve with more bins. I hate littering. I was walking through town once and watched as a teen/young adult took a burger wrapping out of his McDonald's bag and just dropped it on the floor, meters from a bin. I felt like grabbing the wrapper and stuffing it in his mouth. What made it worse is that he was walking with his mother or at least an older adult.

presumably if the council litter dweebs don't have any actual powers and are just there to issue you with blackmail demands to avoid prosecution whereby they just tell on you to the police, then I can do the same? Go out with my notebook at the ready and go pro strapped to my forehead. Everyone I see gets a demand for 50quid now or I tell the cops.

I generally find most people put litter in the bin but the bins are often not emptied so you often get piles of stuff next to the bin cos there's no room. You might not fix all littering but absolutely there are more people willing to use a bin than there are bins provided.

The Wicked ZOGA posted:Speaking of Hazza bullshit, is him killing 25 Taliban fighters actually believable Flying around in a heavily armed attack helicopter makes it entirely possible even if by accident. Unlike that SpecOps guy who shat himself and hid while the rest of his team got massacred and proceeded to gently caress over the poor herdsman who rescued him in the aftermath because it didnt match his "yeah I was totally going all Call of Duty on those assholes" story.

OwlFancier posted:Really the impressive bit would be if he managed to kill more armed fighters than civilians with a helicopter. Even that would be pretty easy, TBH, given that helicopter support is the standard panic-button if a convoy comes under attack, and Afghan militants (I'd say 'the Taliban', but let's be real here, half the time it was either supposedly allied warlords, unaffiliated bandits, or supposedly allied warlords disguising their boys as unaffiliated bandits) attacked a fuckload of convoys. Just shoot the guys who are shooting at your big trucks in the middle of nowhere. If he were a drone pilot, I'd be squinting a lot harder at that claim. They were the ones who just randomly shot up villages and called them terrorist camps, because they were too far away to ever need to give a poo poo.

The Greens is, like, 1 MP and the SNP aren't all that progressive in practice (plus there's the complication they won't vote on English-specific issues, plus the first thing they'll be after is obviously another referendum).

Best I can imagine is a historically low turnout that, I dunno, generates a couple of Guardian bobblehead columns wondering why people aren’t enthused by Starmer’s incredible revitalised Labour?

https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/maps/...?msoa=E02006801 This census stuff is fun. Really surprised at how low the 'identifies as Irish' figure is across the whole country. Can't imagine what might've happened to bring those numbers down

The problem with all of the voting true to your beliefs is that it only works if everyone else does the same. I live in a Tory majority seat, they don’t just win because the left splits the vote, they win because more than 50% of the people who vote around here are complete pieces of poo poo. With the tories historically unpopular, it’s really difficult to know who to vote for, because we’re at “anyone but them”, but I’m 90% sure these bastards won’t ever vote Labour or Green, the seat either goes Lib Dem or Tory.

If Truss had somehow stayed in office 11 years and still kept up the same concentration of prime ministerial badness the country would be a smoking crater.

Yes but would that make her the best or worst prime minister? Say what you like but I think if you're going by the per-days-prime-ministered truss should either be at the top or bottom of the list.

Aipsh posted:https://www.ons.gov.uk/census/maps/...?msoa=E02006801 There's lots of fun stuff there. A lot of London areas are 50-60% British identity but <5% English Identity. Then there's places in Wales identifying more English. Also more people picked Irish ethnicity then identify Irish, not sure what that means?
