Guavanaut posted:This is where it starts to come out that most of UKMT actually meets at pheasant shoots at the weekend. If pheasants end up in our freezer it's through accidental opportunism, not shooting thankfully. Or at least not shooting on our part, our part of the Highlands does have something of a barter economy when it comes to food. Coming home to a huge sack full of mostly still alive prawns at the backdoor as payment for photocopying is a weird, if tasty, occurrence.

Fox hunting is insanely boring but if you ride it's just about the only thing you can do that isn't some derpy poo poo like dressage so all the horsey people converge on it like a nightmarish swarm of fetlocks

It also involves regular vet checks along the route to ensure you don't gently caress up your horse by overdoing things. Of all the horsey things people I know do, it seems the least ridiculous. The horse vs human marathon is pretty dumb, though.

Oberleutnant posted:Last winter I was in my office at the castle and a bunch of nerds from one of the shooting paties just wandered into the quadrangle and started blasting at pigeons on every roof - despite being surrounded on three sides by occupied rooms and offices. I think I might've posted a photo I took. Should have reported it as a terrorist attack in progress

It's poppymania on the tabloid covers today. Is this new or have they been doing it for years and I'm just not very observant?

So glad I'm not even in the country for this year's poppyfest. I have huge sympathy for the millions of poor sods sent to die bleeding in the muck at the whims of rich men and tyrants, but sticking a bit of paper in my lapel (or bellowing wordlessly at those who don't) while the government ramps up to the next round of soldier death doesn't seem like a great way to honour them.

SurrealityCheck posted:As a historical thing, it's worth noting that the "celts" didn't really exist. There were a zillion hetereogeneous small groups (who looked notably different) hanging out in the UK when the Romans arrived and started actually documenting things. They even commented that they all looked different! Baz Cunliffe is very disappointed in you.

It's actually a 'gently caress Blair' story so they're 2/2 recently! It was just funnier to use the thumbnails so you couldn't tell

Scottish Labour votes to ditch Trident renewalquote:The Scottish Labour party has voted overwhelmingly to abandon the replacement of Trident nuclear weapons, adding to pressure on the party’s Westminster leaders to review its pro-nuclear defence policy. The Graun seems to be having a harder time finding the 'lol Corbyn' angle on this one, at least.

I guess a big part is the lack of overlap between the people with the skillset to do such a thing and the people where the motivation to carry it out exceeds the risk of doing so. There have been quite a few incompetent bombers (Glasgow Airport, London July 21st, and the ginger power guy spring to mind) but the people with the knowledge often aren't in those circles. To get a knowledge guy and a motivation guy together you need a countercurrent movement that accepts such strategies. In the developed West those are probably comprised 90% of police and government plants spying on each other.

Pretty sure since the JFK/LHO shitshow there's been a massive change in the way that secret service guard their targets. The list of assassination attempts on Barack Obama is massive but the most damage he's received was when he smacked that fly cold dead on the back of his hand, and that's self-inflicted.

I think I saw an article about some suspected islamists getting arrested and charged with plotting an attack after doing "hostile reconnaissance" (ie looking at stuff on google street view) a while ago, even.

I live near a place that breeds pheasants for shooting and every couple of years the saboteurs break into the place and let several hundred birds loose into the woods. You can always tell when they've done it because there's a noticeable uptick in the number of male pheasants strutting around and freaking out. Sadly the birds are incredibly stupid and often end up decorating car bumpers.

EmptyVessel posted:Baz Cunliffe is very disappointed in you. He would not go as far as what I just wrote, but he would agree that they were a heterogeneous bunch even if he thinks the term "Celt" is still useful! His specific conception of the Celts as a cultural rather than single tribal group is in and of itself quite different to how people conceive of it - Celtic emerging as lingua franca, for example.

I didn't even know I had muscles in some of the places that hurt. Like I said, full body exercise. There are very very few sports (viz: none) that exercise as many muscle groups as much as often as intensively. You'll be fine in a couple of days, it's just a lack of conditioning.

The best part of the Assassination threats against Barack Obama wiki page is the huge poo poo-eating grin he's got in the picture they used.
