My home town doesn't have an official firework display, but people don't seem to skimp on their own fireworks. Good 10 minutes+ of continuous fireworks, plus the ships in the harbour sounding their horns. Cat DGAF.

Happy new year you buggers! Let's hope 2019 is a better one. 2018 certainly felt like it lasted a long long time. Thanks for the threads and discussions over the last year, I lurk but I enjoy. Wishing a better year for all of us.

Grateful to the thread for being an English language source of socialist ideas/books/etc. for those of us never exposed to them growing up. Also for illustrating that what most Americans 'know' about Ireland/N. Ireland is woefully out of date (thanks KustomKarKommando).

Who's ready for some 'Brussels new gaga regulations killing are fisheries' craze BBC News - Fishing: New EU rules could have 'grave' impact on UK industry The main actual complaint (aside from the fact that fisheries won't be able to fish as much) being that the new rules cannot be enforced due to a lack inspection boats. e: I mean yes it limits fishing even for non-endagered species if the fisheries can't avoid catching too many of the endagered ones, but that does rather seem to be a good feature.

Ursine Catastrophe posted:time for some free market innovation to selectively catch the right fish I don't see how that's anyones but the fisheries problem, and they can selectively catch fish to a reasonable extent already - as per the article: quote:The committee was told this would be particularly problematic in "mixed fisheries" where it would be hard for boats to avoid catching a fish species for which they have a very low quota. Which implies that other fisheries can in fact control what they catch, by fishing at different times, depths, using different methods, in places where the endangered fish aren't common, etc. All that's really changed is that they can't get rid of the excess catch legally without recording it. Sure some of the fish might survive getting caught otherwise, but a large number do not, and currently as long as they are discarded before the ships dock the fisheries can catch as many endangered fish as they want.

I want to avoid catastrophising but I sat here trying to make predictions or resolutions to get me through and I just dont see a happy path forwards here- My daughter finished the bacon before I even woke up, theres no chips or hp sauce left either and by the sounds of it the cat literally just puked on the bathroom floor. Happy loving twenty nineteen!

Long time East Anglian lurker here, I have a political anecdote - I work at Lidl and I was on the checkouts, this guy was buying the mail and as I was scanning it I automatically read the headline out loud. Of course it was something fairly terrible, about migrants I think, and it was pretty awkward for both me and the guy buying it. I was struck afterwards that if you're embarrassed to have the paper headline that you're buying be read aloud around you, maybe you shouldn't be buying it. That is all, happy new year I guess.

When you read the headline, you're meant to tut and say something incredibly racist. If it's about migrant crossings, the DM response is to say "Let them sink" Because you didn't react this way the guy making the purchase instantly recognised you as a snowflake trans bisexual ultra-leftwing Corbynista Marxist Korok, and he thought you might be one one of his tenants in his slumlord empire that spans 20% of East Anglian homes - he couldn't risk you recognising him and bringing up the fact you have no running water for the forth week

Spent new years eve home with the twins who fell asleep before nine and I went to sleep an hour later when the SO got home from late shift (and had to get back up today at 6am). There was a snowstorm outside anyway so firing fireworks would have been pretty pointless. Not that we buy any, we just watch other peoples. Pretty boring evening, at least there was chips (crisps) and chocolate digestives.

My sister moved to Basel with her boyfriend years ago intending to only stay for a year or two. Now they're married and have just bought a house out there. I couldn't understand it back then but I'm starting to feel a wee bit jealous...
