Strom Cuzewon posted:I find Boaty McBoatFace genuinely hilarious, but the claim that it's some uniquely British piece of humour is just loving bizarre to me, and I'm fairly certain I've seen other countries sabotage polls with silly names and claim it as something unique to their humour. What culture doesn't love silly wordplay? I would say it is sort of British in the way its satirizing the tradition of boat naming. What should be named a majestic or inspirational title, to honor someone who died doing a great service, or something like a city or place name. Silly wordplay can ruin things. It turned Mock the Week to poo poo.

All UK media is bizzaro like this atm. Go watch Sky News right now, wait for the bit about schools. and watch them interview 7 year old kids on a beach about the schools returning. Absolute madness.

Jakabite posted:It’s not just watching someone be a prat though - characters like Brent and Partridge are caricatures of the those types of men and I’d bet most people can see reflections of others in them. Just after The Office got big, the BBC did a real documentary about a real life Brent called The Armstrongs. Here is the full series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pss6RPtENPI There are parts that are surreal. People accused them all being actors.

Tesla was right posted:The UK Stand-up comedy circuit has a huge problem that most of the acts are cis straight white men who ignore when one of their number is a sex pest, in addition to the default comedy set being "My girlfriend/wife is annoying". Out of curiosity, who are the sex pests and where are the accounts or news about them? I can believe it happening, just never heard of any UK comedians doing it. US sure, but none here.

Some items on Amazon UK already have stopped being sent to Ireland directly. I have one account, but I buy stuff for my family home in NI, and my current home in the Republic. So I can show what a friend in Ireland had this happen to him. He would order some kimchee noodle cups as he loves them from the amazon.co.uk site. Last bought just before christmas. He was looking to buy more, but seems they just stopped. Here is what I can see on the page: If I ship to my NI home:  And to Ireland:  And if I click on the Buying Options its another 20 euro charge.

Reveilled posted:"Elequis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment" Holy poo poo. Can't wait for those ads once they've killed the NHS. That's the same drug I was given for a heart problem I had back in June. Basically my heart was beating 140bpm all the time, so they were going to shock it. But cant shock it for 6 weeks due to a possible clot already in the heart. So they put me on that for 6 weeks to thin the blood gradually. Sounds like its a poo poo instant blood thinner, but it has it uses in some situations like mine.

Reveilled posted:Oh, yeah, absolutely, I don't mean to suggest that it's not clinically beneficial, but I'm willing to entrust the decision on whether such a serious medication is "right for me" to the health service. It's just bizarre to hear "significantly less major bleeding" in an advert. I get what you mean. I wonder if Americans know like a list of drugs for each part of their body or function. And do you think any has gone to their doctor and asked to swap over their current medication to the ad one, simply on how the ad looked.

Subway may be hurting in Ireland at the moment. Here in Cork City, my local Subway has a sign up saying 'some ingredients may not be available due to Brexit'. I asked about it, and they said this was wasn't affected but were told to put it up just in case.

https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-eu-diplomats-idUSKBN29Q0U3quote:The BBC reported that the Foreign Office was refusing to grant the same diplomatic status and privileges to EU ambassador Joao Vale de Almeida and his team as it gives to envoys of countries, on the basis that the EU is not a nation state. Just watched some Brexiteer gloat this was a great strike against the evil EU. But can't the EU turn around and say the same thing as the UK is not a nation state itself?

You organize the party at the local hospital car park. That way you cant be fined, and just wander in and out of the hospital you have a easier risk of getting it. Just look out for the coughing people and sit beside them and start huffing.

Our helldesk guys are so paranoid about us using anything that may allow remote code injection we end up using excel for a lot of small tools. Leading to what would be reasonably quick javascript/python stufff taking minutes as poo poo loads and processes on excel. And they won't make our tools as that would mean they would have to maintain them and so who's paying for that? Some of our excel tools are 10 years old.

Apraxin posted:Not gonna inflict an actual Mail link on the thread, but in their reveling over the EU vaccine u-turn today (another brilliant vindication of Bulldog Boris's Brexit Blinder), they actually call it 'Boris's Falklands Moment'. All the Gammon Youtube channel commentators are over gloating about it too. Farage did a 1 year brexit anniversary vid today too, and the comments are either bots designed to incite or there are some really oblivious people.
