You need to visit Larne

(only joking, really don't bother.... ever).

I think I was in Larne when a red-faced man told me he was going to kick my little dog's head in for...being too near him as he walked by (?). I said "no you won't" and indeed, he didn't.

Moral of the story: don't go to Larne

I went to Leeds for work once and the one night we decided to go out I got accosted by an incredibly drunk woman outside a pub accusing me of having nicked her handbag.

I don’t know why she thought I’d had it and it also didn’t seem to be the only thing she was missing, since she was wearing a miniskirt she’d at some point pulled right up around her stomach so it stopped just below her navel and very visibly had no knickers on.

The Starmer Project by Oliver Eagleton is worth a read to get an idea of the poo poo Kieth did as DPP.

Spolier: None of it was good.

It's an interesting read and I sent my copy to another goon after reading it, if anyone's keen they might even send it on again.

There is a bit of an oopsie moment in it though iirc where Eagleton dismisses the idea of Russia invading Ukraine as fantasy.

Quite a thread.

No ID so not allowed in (after already staying there a few days). So they get HIS luggage from his room and chuck it out too. So no ID but they give him his luggage?

Also I hadn't heard about Premier Inn also kicking out a blind woman previously because whoever was on duty said her guide dog was fake.

Lol, that's when the bank's been informed that there's an active criminal investigation against you and your account's part of it: they're not allowed to tell you; only to say stuff like: "I'm sorry sir, but we can't process your transaction at the current time."

Yes this explains why kids to crime it's the parents deciding to be bad. Also they generally happen to be from lower income backgrounds but not sure what that has to do with it. Maybe god is punishing them for not being worthy. Yes that sounds right

WTF - Octopus have just dropped £200 'alternative fuel payment' into my account! I am all electric and have had the £67pm subsidy (one more month to go) to make up the £400. Pretty sure I'm not entitled to this!

Ed

On further investigation I found this:

quote:

From today households across Wales who don’t use mains gas for heating will start receiving £200 towards their energy bills as the Alternative Fuel Payment (AFP) scheme launches. Most will get the £200 AFP automatically as a credit on their electricity bill but some customers will need to apply for the support.

I don't use mains gas for heating, I'm all electric!

What a nice surprise!

It's not her house.
At least it's not her house until the divorce. Which all she has to do for that is invite a friend over, leave the room, and by the time she has come back with Bourbon Creames, she will find her friend and her husband in flagrante delicto.

I imagine it'll be as much his home as your house in skyrim, in that he might occasionally visit it to drop poo poo off but will spend 90% of his time away 'adventuring' [cheating].

I had no idea who he was. Of course he's another nepo baby

quote:

Stadlen was born to Sir Nicholas Stadlen, a High Court judge, and Frances Stadlen in London. He is the grandson of concert pianist Peter Stadlen and Hedi Stadlen, the activist and musicologist, both Austrian Jews born in Vienna.

He attended St Paul's School (of which his maternal grandfather Thomas Howarth had been High Master), and later graduated from Clare College, Cambridge, with a first-class honours degree in Classics.

It's a shame the China thread is completely dominated by anti-CPC fundamentalists. Fascinating country and I used to like posting there, but anyone who doesn't literally think the communists are actually Nazis gets probed immediately.
