forkboy84 posted:I think the show jumped the shark when Deayton got busted for hookers & coke. He was a solid part of the formula & the refusal to even attempt to replace him & just lurch into the lovely guest host eternity was a shite decision. A decision which indirectly lead to Johnson becoming our current PM.

Guavanaut posted:He could have probably won if he'd called the election two years earlier, that's two years less of "unelected PM" bullshit from the press and one less global financial crash. We will obviously never know for sure, but I completely believe that we would be in a different world if he had just called an election immediately.

kingturnip posted:It's weird, the people who say they're not concerned about coronavirus at all always get really annoyed when get right up their faces and start talking loudly, spraying spittle everywhere Funny that. Almost like they're not concerned about other people getting coronavirus. It's like the people protesting hairdressers being closed - they're not wanting hairdressers open so they can work in them, they want them open so other people can work for them.

Ash Crimson posted:I think people might revolt/riot I think it'll take a good minute to get there though. Riots generally come out of existing protests, and if people are inside and not joining up for a protest it's hard to see how a riot will start.

The Perfect Element posted:That is an amazing tip! I've wondered for ages why Google hadn't aleady done this. My fantasy is for a OS satnav style thing so it can just tell it where you wanna get to and it will plot out a lovely walk... My satnav for my bike (MIO) does exactly this - you tell it how long you want to be out for and it’ll plot you a nice circular route, taking into account bike lanes and quiet roads.

On the change from “Stay at home” to “Stay alert”. BBC is just interviewing the likes of Sturgeon and Mayor after Mayor who are all saying “this is the first we’ve heard of it, we’re against it. Stay at home.”

Also golf and tennis are pretty socially distanced anyway. As long as (with golf) you don’t have someone who’s very close in between shots at least.

OwlFancier posted:Wonder if that will crash the arse out of the property market? Commercial property is fuuuuucked. Look at what happened post 9/11 for a hint, and then scale it massively. From the people I know who lease property for their businesses it's absolutely a buyers market when it comes to renegotiating terms. They're not even waiting for the lease to be up, just calling up and saying 'Give us new terms or we are just going to stop paying.'

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Why do people insist that because (apparently) Corbyn is 'worth millions' (where do they get this poo poo from) and Starmer possibly has a cleaner (does he? I've no idea) Labour doesn't speak for the working classes, therefore you must vote tory because DePfeffel and co do? I suspect Corbyn has a house in Islington which is worth >1m by dint of him having owned it for years. That would be enough to make it “true”.

But how will they ensure that people staying there from different households are social distancing? Oh  Silly me - the answer is ‘loopholes’, because of course it is.

It's awful, not awful in the 'terrible nightclub' awful way but awful. It was allegedly awarded the title of the second worst nightclub in Europe by FHM, back when that was still a thing. (The worst one supposedly burnt down). Subject of many an article https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/8qbzzg/i-went-to-klute-the-worst-night-club-in-europe

Pistol_Pete posted:I actually agree with Keir Starmer keeping a careful distance from this so far. It's real "never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake" territory. Tempted to agree in this case. As soon as he says something then the press can start to focus on him “why is kier doing this at this sensitive time” or whatever. This way labour are complete out of the headline.
