Looking forward to the sympathetic Guardian article about locals who will literally never be able to afford a house.quote:Amid reports about devastating shortages of affordable housing for local residents in popular holiday areas in recent years, Hunt decided to make the ownership of FHLs less financially attractive, hoping this would persuade landlords to either sell up or switch their holiday homes to long-term rentals. Chancellor, what are you doing about affordable housing? Well I am hoping that a minor adjustment to some tax rules will persuade landlords to change their behaviour.

Cumbrae is literally a 10min boat ride to the mainland and 45 mins from Glasgow on train. Perfect for a granny flat.

Overheard in a toilet at the pub earlier, three middle-aged, presumably, men: "Stop blocking the sink you bloody... transgender." (laughter) "Mate you belong in the ladies." (heavy laughter) I'm still trying to reconcile what's going on here. Like, it's both an example of inexplicable transphobia but also affirming the premise that femme presenting people should be in the womens toilets? A very strange experience 0/10 would like something less confusing please.

(I read one the other day - it was weird. The terfs live in a very weird place).

I'd guess in this case it was the other way around, some guy washing his hands properly with soap rather than fingerprinting piss all over the bartop, therefore obviously has a vagina because 'lad humour'. They'd be calling him a 'fairy' or something instead 15 years back. (But of course according to terf logic it's trans acceptance that is homophobic.)

I don't think that lad bantz makes any sense either linguistically or conceptually. It's like painting a very horrible picture with the shape and associations of lanugage but not the actual meaning you need when using it normally.

I wasn't aware that person was ID'd, but lol either way I went looking on his twitter account to see if he'd posted any recent stuff about Tice or Reform, and nothing jumped out before I gave up scrolling. Has Gullis said something in an interview? Or has Tice heard something said in private, and is firing a warning shot? When scrolling, I did laugh when I saw people keeping the seagull meme alive https://twitter.com/christhebarker/status/1774033830657011946

In no surprise to anyone - Amazon are awful. I bought a fancy office chair back at the end of December. I tried it out and decided mid Jan to return it in the return window because of course £1100 for a chair is nonsense and it was not that comfortable. Thr chair couldn't be disassembled without a specialist tool so the box was a bit bigger than when delivered. UPS repeatedly refused to pick it up so Amazon told me I needed to do it myself. The larger box size meant it got to freight shipping and Amazon recommended AnyVan. £250 later AnyVan drives the chair to the Amazon Dunfermline address I'd been given where it is rejected as they don't take large parcels. I contact Amazon but despite AnyVan charing them 50 quid a day storage and many promises to escalate the case it takes a week of daily calls to finally get through to someone who has an alternate address (many people suggested sending it to Dunfermline again). That is provided and after paying another £700 to AnyVan (storage & redelivery fee) the item is finally dropped off in the middle of Feb. It takes until the middle of March and many emails to managingdirector@amazon.co.uk to get the original £1100 refunded but they're still refusing to give me the £950 delivery fees. They ask for information, I provide it and then they ghost me for a week or claim nonsense like I've been too slow to ask for the refund. I assume it's time for me to threaten legal action? Being a teacher I've now got my Easter holidays and really really want that money back.

I'm not personally sure that "yes I was hosed up in a brothel at 4AM but you see the devious foreigns wanted me to be there" is a very good defence. Like you're still there of your own volition.

Sad Panda posted:because of course £1100 for a chair is nonsense and it was not that comfortable. What was the chair out of curiosity. Spending a lot of money on your office chair is actually good advice if you spend a lot of time in it. High quality office chairs cost £800+ but usually come with insanely good decade long guarantees and will easily last double that if cared for. However if you are patient you can often find them second hand or refurbished from outlet stores for £300-400, sometimes even less from marketplaces from people who are selling off the chair work gave them not realising what it is.
