I am not a lawyer, but gently caress that guy right into the sun.

This doesn’t say you can camp there, it says you can go there and run around if you want to. There’s

Ah, you misunderstand. It’s a percentage so because our economy was already in the sumplit fucklands sunlit uplands that 0.1 is a VERY BIG NUMBER. Possibly the BIGLIEST NUMBER.

Really?
It should have been part of the GFA that this would never be seen again.
There was a show aired 20 years ago now called Pulling Moves, about a group of friends in West Belfast.
And that was infinitely times funnier than the entire Hole in the Wall Gang and Mrs Brown Boys catalogue.

I have definitely been forward buying more recently. Prices are only going up. Plus all the scare stories of strikes, war related shortages and whatever other logistical logjams combined with recent experience of COVID last minute loving you over at Xmas means everyone hedged their bets and bought now.

I don't like the pee pods, they're uncouth. They should just have pipes sticking out the ground and connecting to the sewers. Like a little periscope you stick your dick into. You could make them quite ornate so they blend in with the lampposts and bollards what have you.

I've been trying to buy a ticket on West Coast mainline from Glasgow to Manchester on Sunday 26th of Feb but all trains keep claiming to be sold out. Is this strikes and possible engineering works meaning they've not gone on sale yet? I've got the ticket up to Glasgow booked but can't book my ticket back and wondering when I'll be able to.

Isn't that Avanti?
My friend always has bother buying Avanti tickets, trains are listed, then cancelled, or whatever. Also, I think I read something about Avanti being effectively nationalized at some point - maybe that's it?

Yeah it'd be Avanti. The strange thing is, that Sunday and the one before are both sold out. The Sunday after is available. Here's hoping it comes up at some point!

Avanti release timetables and tickets for their Sunday trains really late so that date might not be available yet.

Avanti have absolutely hosed it, they literally don't have enough staff to run a functioning timetable after the staff decided they weren't going to work outrageous amounts of overtime anymore, so your only option is to buy a ticket whenever you can, hope that most of the trains actually run, then hope that something doesn't happen to make it even worse and more overcrowded. That's my experience of Avanti this past year.

Her answer is basically "gently caress you, too bad" - like, not an ounce of contrition or even feigned empathy

I think that is what's biting them right now isn't it? Not to the degree it should be of course but they're experiencing more issues than they have been for the last 10 years at least. None of what they're doing is new, they're just not even bothering to gussy it up in fancy words or anything. They've had it easy with the press for so long that they've forgotten how to or don't care to try and bullshit it or the crop of current Tories are the absolute dregs so they don't even know you're "supposed" to do the things they're not doing.

What's incredible to me is just how hard Truss has been memory holed frankly, like she blew a massive hole in the economy 3 months ago and you basically never hear her mentioned or interviewed at all. She's still an MP so is she doing what an MP does in their constituency and holding little meetings with the folks that live there? That's gotta be loving surreal hasn't it?
