Miftan posted:Pretty much. Two month's notice and that's it if done properly as far as I'm aware. The issue is that I don't want to be a massive loving rear end in a top hat and kick people out onto the street with 2 month's notice Having had this happen to me twice in a row within 3 years when I lived in Abingdon, I appreciate it.  (I wonder sometimes how truthful landlords sometimes are when they claim they want to move back in...)

Qwertycoatl posted:When I went, there was plenty toilet paper left but the stock had clearly been massively depleted. The pasta was all gone except the weird expensive kinds though. Same, but the massive bags of rice and giant tubs of ghee were fully stocked. The name brand feta had been cleared out but the ASDA Smart Price salad cheese was plentiful. I blame middle class white people.

goddamnedtwisto posted:250,000 people (give or take) attend football matches every week. That number of people pass through Waterloo Station every single day, and out-of-town shopping centres attract numbers that the FA can only dream of. To be fair, isn't it prolonged exposure to someone infected, eg next to you in the stands for two hours, we need to worry about, more than just walking past them?

goddamnedtwisto posted:Weird thing around here is that all the big shops have empty bogroll shelves but all the little ones have tons. I'm assuming there's going to be some fascinating psychological papers about this at some point. Similarly, Barking Asda has been totally bought out of rice - even the 10kg sacks in the World section - but my local Egyptian-Turkish-Bulgarian shop has plenty. Also things like paper towels and yeast etc. My theory is that all the Hyacinth Bucket types are now just about panicked enough to buy the rice with the scary foreign writing on from the supermarket, but going into a store run by those ethnics is still a step too far. More fool them. I have 5kg of rice and a bunch of red beans and they do not, some of which is in the slow cooker as we speak.

I'm absolutely not bothered about HD (I can't tell the difference between SD and HD) though I suppose that is standard these days. I do want to be able to connect my internet up to it and watch catch ups! Another option is to buy any old TV and something like a Roku streaming stick.

forkboy84 posted:See, I just replaced my UK news follows with watching US financial TV. Mainly Bloomberg which is very sober & sad but also I'm watching CNBC right now & there is some guy called Jim Cramer who is amazing. Watching this makes it impossible to take it seriously, he literally has a board of big red buttons that he pushes & make comical sound effects. And is a "serious" financial news host. He also speaks so fast that he must have just huffed an awful lot of coke before going live. He's been around for agea and yeah he isn't 'serious'. He literally had to fight off a lawsuit by admitting he's an entertainment persona not offering legit financial advice.

Endjinneer posted:FFS. 168. The British Rail class 168 is commonly referred to as the "clubman". After the civil war, gangs of soldiers from both sides roamed the countryside pillaging. Clubmen were armed gangs of local citizens who grouped together to defend their communities, often with clubs or other crude weapons. This is a habit we may soon have to reintroduce. During, actually. Clubmen were 'we don't give a gently caress about kings or parliaments just gently caress off already'.

You know...I'm actually glad (sort of) we lost the election, now. Can you imagine the shitstorm we'd have right now, and for years to come, from all the usual suspects if this was happening under a Labour government? Just like 'Gordon Brown spent all the poonds' after the global financial crisis but times a million. People would associate socialism with mass deaths for a generation. We might have dodged a bullet, there.

peanut- posted:I don't understand how this could possibly be true given the current rate of positive tests is about 1 in 10. It would surely require a significant proportion of the people being tested to have already had the disease and completely recovered from it, within a ~4-8 week window prior to the test taking place. The common currently used test can only tell if you currently have it, iirc. Recovery in 4 weeks doesn't seem unreasonable?

goddamnedtwisto posted:CoG plans were only ever makework for the more neurotic class of civil servant, even the most "limited" war would have put us back to medieval levels of population and technology no matter how much planning we did and the people at the top knew and accepted that. There's even an interpretation of the lack of stockpiling of things like Iodine that they didn't *want* survivors, or at least want people to survive any longer than they would have, because injured people need more resources than uninjured ones and we were basically going to have to get every single calorie by hand. I mean, we are a tiny island, with nukes, pretty much right next to Russia, and a potential and actual Airstrip 1 for the US - they still have a bunch of bases here even today. Look up the nuclea planning for potential WW3 scenarios - basically the whole of the UK was going to get nuked, end to end, with 4 minutes warning at best. We would have been hosed. Only place potentially worse off is West Germany.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Also FRG would actually have been *less* hosed than the British Isles because the Soviets had a purely counter-force (targeting concentrations of armour and known nuclear weapons sites only) rather than a combined counter-force and counter-value (large logistical centres and deliberate targeting of civilian populations) strategy planned for them. They were of the opinion that FRG would surrender quickly once the nukes started flying and wanted to minimise the amount of fallout dropping on them in the prevailing winds. I was factoring in the tactical nukes that the Soviets would have been piling on in Germany within about 5 minutes of war and before escalation to strategic strikes, tbh. Being the actual battleground for WW3 was still not going to be A Good Time for them.
