I though it was bad when they revamped queen street station and removed all the shops, but that place looks bleak, like Prestwick Airport bleak.

We're in a future where we can print ornamentation that would have taken Michelangelo a decade in an hour and refuse to do so.

They've also got in the habit of putting in benches at railway stations but every seat has a divider between them, because what if a homeless person took a nap? They also don't seem to be very kind to obese people from what I've noticed.

These have been in place at London Heathrow for years now, in an attempt to make anyone who is stuck overnight stay at one of the on site hotels.

So, to give them some credit, it looks like there are plans to add more inside and the outside of the station is still very Heras-chic. TOCs love retail tenancies and advertising because of the £££ they can get, so don't expect this space to remain spartan for long. However, here's a rendering of the inside of the building. Either this was planned by a disinterested work experience kid, or someone slipped a copy of THX-1138 into the design brief. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1227811097663615

We could print out a giant Guernica and put it on our walls. A $200m ish value painting. But we don't. That is strange.

Well Picasso did say it was made by Hitler so it'd probably upset someone and then Turning Point would come out to defend it and nobody wants them there.

what tory has any reason to be mad about losing an election. it's keir starmer you'll all be back in five years once you rearrange the furniture while nobody's paying much attention and yous find some boring guy in a suit to go all "greeeaaargh there's no money" when asked any question at all. need some money? idk maybe just sell ten or so of your rental properties who cares. and come on now you've all had five years in the commons. if you haven't used the tiny amount of power and influence you were trusted to use for the good of the british public to get some good contacts with a fallback job filling up a boardroom somewhere and going harumph from time to time then i've no sympathy for you. also no sympathy for you anyway because you're tories but still. wimps e: oh and when keir puts ten thousand guys in the lords so they do what he wants he'll probably let a few tories in too for pretend fairness. there's loads of great opportunities coming your way Angepain fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Dec 10, 2023 |

Endjinneer posted:Pantographs are actually mad complicated. The force has to be juuust right, and remain juuust right over the whole range of height travel of the pantograph. Too little and it bounces down off the wires, it arcs and things burn. Too much and it becomes one with the wires. IIRC when the French did their speed record with the TGV part of the preparation was re-tensioning all the overhead wires to give the pantograph the best contact it could have. Worth watching the videos if you're interested in trains at all. Angrymog fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Dec 10, 2023 |

I see the latest Tory gambit, as told to useful idiot Dan Hodges in some Westminster pub is to - Install Priti Patel as a caretaker PM Put Farage in the Lords Get Boris a seat at the General Election and somehow win a majority Patel graciously steps aside and Installs Farage and Johnson as Joint Kings post election ?????? Profit. Desperate , insane stuff but, well, just look at the last decade.

Nah we're just so hilariously corrupt that we'll spend millions on a big concrete shed with three seats in it and label the rest of the money as "Consultancy fees". https://twitter.com/jodcoll/status/1733804941393752234 It's almost as if THEY NEVER FIXED THE loving PROBLEMS EVERY CUNTING YEAR YOU DISGUSTING LITTLE CREEP. Going "Oh every time it rains they ask for more money to fix the holes in the roof" isn't the own you think it is when you categorically refuse to FIX THE loving ROOF!
