Failed Imagineer posted:Already had an old gammon who looked like latter day Shaun Ryder threaten to kick my dogs head in for barking at him, so I feel like my few hours in NI is delivering in spades My first day in NI a few years back, I met my sister at a pub quite early in the day and one of the old fellas definitely muttered oval office at me when I ordered a diet coke at the bar.

Mine will be about 6 weeks after my first. Given the original trials were done on a 4 week gap, this is better than expected. Also I'd already booked Monday off work and the jab is this Sunday so looks like no sickday for me!

kingturnip posted:The BBC are trying to blame the host broadcaster for trying to get footage of Christian Eriksen being almost dead on a football pitch, rather than admitting that they could have cut away to the studio or literally anything else if they weren't massive loving ghouls. Wishing him a speedy recovery and not too big a fine for having to miss press commitments (unless that's only a tennis law).

Actually I'm reliably informed that the reason people won't vote Labour is precisely because of lefties not supporting Starmer supporting the government. Support Labour: vote Tory.

In my case our warranty is tied in to having a serviced boiler, so for at least 7 years since we got our new boiler (in 2017, predictably soon after moving in) we'll be continuing to pay the £40 annual service charge. Meant that a bunch of minor repairs this year were all free that otherwise might've cost hundreds.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Someone was egging me on to stand for town council and I said noone will vote for me because I have a good solution to the dog poop and fast cars problems which occupy the minds of most of the denizens of our town: watchtowers manned by snipers every 200m to take out owners of dogs who don't pick up the dog poop or to take out drivers of cars with noisy engines or who drive at more than 20mph around the streets. He thought I was joking. Forget the town council, you'll be in Starmer's shadow cabinet if he hears you saying stuff like that

Comrade Fakename posted:https://twitter.com/mr_considerate/status/1408724904237797380 I like how she decries friends denouncing her via twitter but then mistakenly also notes they have actually - repeatedly - told her they disagree with her. Can't even get her own story of personal oppression straight. And what a world we live in, where people stop being friends with someone just because they find their views to be hideous. She'd probably get on well with Rees Mogg too.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I was really pissed off with Channel 5 in about 1998 when they cancelled Xena half way through series 4 leading me to spend over £300 on the entire 6 series boxset of VHS. Now you can just download the lot for free. That's the last time I buy a boxed set! Wow, I haven't seen the term "boxed set" used to correctly describe a literal physical boxed set in so many years, it brings a tear to my eyes. Now it's just used to describe a show being on Netflix or whatever (often even when they don't have the whole show).

I love the beeb take that it's okay that Saj visited a care home t'other day because everyone there is double vaccinated. You know, like the guy they're talking about who has caught and likely spread the plague. Any of the million who are getting pinged this week that isolates, is a total mug. But then we all are aren't we?

Soricidus posted:I haven’t been pinged and Im going to be isolating anyway. Taken the week off work, plenty of netflix to catch up on while I hide and wait for the dust to settle To be fair it's what we should all be doing, except without taking holiday, ie general strike. If our opposition had any spine they would at least walk out whenever they're in the same chamber as the PM/Chancellor but that won't be happening. Even Don Hodges has more spine.

Lady Demelza posted:A colleague is very excited about the new build house that he's bought, which isn't actually built yet. It's an eye-watering sum, based off a photo of some wasteland and some swish CGI of what the house might look like. He's so happy and I'm biting my tongue because everyone I've ever known who has lived in a new build has had problems. One of my colleagues moved into his new build a few weeks ago, and he's already fighting a losing battle against damp. 5 dehumidifiers, that can't be normal? Two other workmates are moving into the same development in the coming weeks. F F F

Jel Shaker posted:they’re going to try to start blaming a junior minister, which gives the impression it’s some 20 something intern on their first day but in reality it’s a 50 year old drunkard careerist Well its Zac Goldsmith who is absolutely as bad as anyone could have guessed, these idiots don't seem to understand that even if you do delegate a role and some wazzock fucks it up, it's still the responsibility of the person who did the delegating. But on this island England, Zac will put out a press release saying he delegated it to an even more junior person, so that we might finally have the head of the true culprit (the cleaning lady, perhaps). I did have a look on twitter, the bootlickers say it's not Raab's fault and it didn't matter anyway (I think it's clear they're saying the interpreters don't matter). Bonus points for the one dedicated account saying how hard Raab works, but I think they're satire. They do like ending their posts with clown smileys, hard to resist the urge to tell them to stop signing their tweets...
