I'm no expert on construction but it seems like it'd be a whole lot more effort to take all the windows out of their frames individually than it would just to smash them while in place and other than that all that seems to have happened is someone spilled a tin of paint and pushed over a cabinet, if that was really someone getting back at their landlord there'd be poo poo (both metaphorical and literal) everywhere and a load of damage to structural things like walls and doors and also to the appliances

Interesting. not in a pub/bar which is open to the public but I wouldn't be surprised to see poo poo like this happening in uni/halls bars IME universities are more than happy to pay lip service towards responsible drinking and then look the other way when it comes to drinking a dirty pint out of an old wellington boot on your birthday

Mebh posted:In uni we had a whole crate of holsten pils. It was disgusting. We tried many ways to make it palatable. Including mixing it with cadburys drinking chocolate and milk. Which we decided was OK. our local pub quiz used to give out a crate of 24 Carlsberg for the top prize, which we won with semi-regularity it got to the point where we each had multiple crates of Carlsberg sitting unopened in our houses, because who the gently caress would drink Carlsberg if there was any kind of alternative available

Oh dear me posted:If people thought some testing would be done, you can't argue that they're wrong because some testing has been done. However often you try. "testing will be done but they'll fudge/ignore the results" is not in fact the same as "testing will be done because that's how vaccines are developed" just FYI talking about how you wouldn't take a covid vaccine because government/big pharma bad was antivaxx bullshit then and it's antivaxx bullshit now

goddamnedtwisto posted:I don't think screeching at people that are showing a healthy skepticism of a government and an industry that considers human life to be a very distant second to NUMBER GO UP that they're identical to the people who think Bill Gates is trying to mind-control them with nanoparticles activated by 5G is the winning argument you think it is, mate. All the people who talk about "healthy skepticism" of every other vaccine on the planet absolutely are part of that group, though, so what exactly's so different about any potential covid vaccine that makes the "healthy skeptics" normal rational people?

Fly in early to Heathrow, pop along the M4, be in for the day or sometimes two, fly back in the evening. Apparently flights were so cheap, it made sense for them to come in that way. a friend of mine works in IT for a multinational bank and they have contractors there who "live" in Spain during the weekends and in a Travelodge during the week
