Payndz posted:The self-contradiction of this made my head spin. At the start: "There will be a Brexit deal with the EU! It is inevitable! Even Boris Johnson will see that!" At the end: "This deal will be atrocious! Pro-Brexit Tories will oppose it, and Labour shouldn't vote for it because it will damage Haircut Leader!" I'm not seeing the contradiction?

The usual email hasn't arrived (yet) but if you sign in to the government site you can do it. Presumably the requirements are the same as before and if you haven't been filing self assessments for long enough you're not eligible like before?

So debenhams goes under taking 12k jobs with it (although wikipedia suggests they employ almost twice that and bbc does seem to mention theyve already cut 6k jobs) from an annual revenue of over £2billion. The UK has a round 12k fishers (~60% Scottish) catching £0.9billion of fish a year. I guess fishing has lots of associated businesses, maintaining boats etc and some specialist skillsets but still it seems like... maybe some priorities need a looking at when it comes to protecting jobs.

Looking up this dude's accounts, theres three directors of his company, him, his wife and presumably his brother. They shared 200k in dividends last year. They weren't struggling in Europe, they were thriving but just had to try and take a little more.

justcola posted:whenever the BBC discusses Doctor Who they always say that people were watching from behind their sofa - how big are these cunts houses you can go behind a sofa? Its interesting that the phrase is explicitly linked with doctor who in particular rather than just generally scary TV. With doctor who going back to the sixties I suppose it could be that the families with TVs were wealthier and had larger houses? But I think maybe also that the TV was a less dominant feature of the home at that point, both culturally and physically. So families might temporarily draw out a sofa into the centre of the room for the family to watch a particular show on a much smaller tv screen than today's larger ones that occupy pride of place in many lounges across the country. Or it could just be a handy saying.

How is saying refer to them as "Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page" any different to saying:Guavanaut posted:The nice thing with actors is they perform under screen names all the time so you can talk about past roles without deadnaming them just by saying "starred in X under the screen name Y."

I'm going to be a bit flippant because I dunno what else to do. Does it seem a bit like Elliott feels obliged to keep a very similar name to his former deadname for societal/professional reasons? Did people less in the public eye do that? Like I always thought having a kid, the cool bit would be naming them whatever I want so definitely if I'm kind of giving birth to myself all over again I'm gonna choose a name without inhibition rather than one that's so closely tied to the name I'm escaping. Apologies if escaping is the wrong word there.

its a funny one isnt it. Changing the way we've recorded the past. Theres an element of cancel culture stuff playing in there maybe? I really have no idea here and anyone that tells me I'm talking poo poo then yes absolutely. Again, scared of seeming glib here, but George Lucas got to change alot of stuff about star wars so i reckon we could chnage dead names as peoples credits. Although equally his adjustments weren't without argument.

My parents want to visit at xmas. They will be coming from abroad by car/ferry so have to quarantine. My dad is too tight to pay the 125quid each that the tests cost that get let you out after 5/6days. However Gatwick offer a 60quid test for passengers. My plan is to buy them the cheapest flights I can find, looks to be a single to Dublin which gets the tests all in for 77quid each and just chuck the flights. Its all against the rules anyway I think as theyre only allowed to stay here for the special xmas break bit... but they also have to quarantine here for 2 weeks so...

Nutapii posted:So your plan is to have them drive from the ferryport straight to Gatwick, which is minimum 2 hours after 2 hours on a ferry + waiting time + time to ferryport, to fake getting on a flight to get a test that can be done quickly for cheap rather than the longer, slightly more expensive one... so they can have a rough bit of certainty that they probably didn't have the virus in the time before they rocked up to an airport and walked through departures and arrivals on the same day, and then drive up to yours, as presumably staying in a hotel would start the whole chain again. Not quite. You have to take the test on the 5th day of quarantine. So we would have to go to Gatwick specially. Which is a bit dodgy. The test is done in your car in a part of the car park so not getting out or anything.

stev posted:We're supposed to be going back in March but it'll be ultra-flexible. A bunch of people where I work moved away from London at the start of the pandemic so they wouldn't be able to work in the office anymore anyway (and I guess are willing to gamble that they won't lose their jobs as a result). Yeah same. My brother's office in Bristol shut and he's left town. Another couple of friends checked and got ok'd to leave London forever and have bought in Kent. If enough companies have said gently caress it then that diminishes the other's arguments for staying... It's no longer where everyone is.

Squeeze as much business in as possible before Brexit kills everything I guess. If the deal turns out to be unsuccessful do you have to serve the quarantine period later?
