'The Watch' should be deriled and ignored imo. It's the standard 'wait until someone talented dies, get their IP, and poo poo out something terrible out to gleam fame and money from the famous dead person' method of TV/movie scumbaggery. The Watch was in production while Terry was still alive, with Rhianna Pratchett and their own company working on it. When they signed over the rights, they were ignored and had no input whatsoever. It's not a labour of love or homage. It's a quick cash in.

Gove is a master of hiding and camouflaging himself from what he has done. He's one of the few, prob only one, that stuck up for the £365 million bus lie that even Boris and Farage ran away from like Use Bolt. He is/was in charge of customs for a while, when they were meant to get ready for Brexit or hire enough on the grounds workers for it. But the average rando on the street would think him as one of the good tories.

big scary monsters posted:I was going to say. Weird high ground to take that you're happy to work for a man who is personally a hugely reprehensible piece of poo poo and lies with every breath he takes, and to further the goals of the party filled with people like him (among them personal friends of Savile), but you can't possibly stand for a throwaway insult that isn't even really all that far from the truth. The Saville thing is just an excuse to leave. There must be something really bad Boris has done that is not known yet. Be it drugs at the parties that the Met are trying to cover up, or they know they are hosed next election.

Friends was a weird one for me. It used to be THE thing to watch, living in a student flat of 8 at the time, and all of us would come down and watch the newest episode religiously. Then a few seasons in something in the brain when ping and just saw it as the same five jokes over and over and over and over again. Hated it since as with most US sitcoms from that time. If I ever go on an on the spur killer rampage, it will be just after watching Everyone Loves Raymond.

ThomasPaine posted:Maplin seemed aright when I went in a few years back, I wonder how they went out of business while lovely companies like curry's are still going. Who's going to bloody curry's in 2022? They went out of business for being a lovely company. There was one just beside my work, and all of being computer geeks would check out the place if we needed anything. It was great if you wanted small item poo poo that you didn't want to wait for a week via Amazon, like network cables. They were then caught increasing prices in September/October so they could then reduce them back to the original price at christmas and claim it was a sale. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Feb 6, 2022 |

fuctifino posted:This is how retailers pretend to show savings. Every business does this, as in it's standard practice. A national company has to have just one item in stock in a single branch listed at the higher price for a month. Then the following month, all the other branches are flooded with stock and those items are advertised with the false saving. I did not know that. I know that Curry's were caught having a 'we will refund the difference if you find it cheaper within X miles' and the X was always just short of the nearest competitor. All other places within the radius was Curry parent company owned, like said before PC World, and Dixons. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Feb 6, 2022 |

Mine was an Amstrad CPC 464, with colour monitor. First every game played on it was Oh Mummy. Then Harrier Attack. Borrowed Elite to play from a friend, and was smitten by it. Loved that game. The cassette tape copying industry was alive and well and thriving in my town.

Dick: The MET finds no evidence to start an investigation. Boris: Thanks Cress *wink* *Gray Inquiry actually investigates and finds damning evidence* Gray: About to release it in 5...4...3... Dick: poo poo HOLD UP NOW WE NEED TO INVESTIGATE! Dick + MET: Oh poo poo what do we do, we said there was nothing but now there is. *pic showing boris, bottle of bubbly and tinsel* Dick: Boris, what do we do here?

Nenonen posted:I thought I'd discuss this still a bit further. Yeah, its language that is the barrier that defines most tribalism identity. People have been going to other countries can continents for thousands of years, but teaching a second language to kids only really started a century or two ago. And only then to the rich kids. And your brain finds it hard to learn languages after the age of 12. So adults get stuck in their way with their only language. So you went to France, but your kids only speak English, so they stay with their family and other english speakers. You don't get to learn about France's history or how good the place it, only how England was.

Comrade Fakename posted:When I was in sixth form our college’s union went on strike because they’d had 12 consecutive votes of no confidence over the college’s principal, all of which were unanimous against him. Anyway, my maths A Level lecturer was in a different union that didn’t believe in striking, considering teaching to be a profession like nursing that was too important to risk a strike. She informed us that on the strike day, the class would be held as normal, and if we didn’t attend we’d be marked as absent. So, she demanded that we cross a picket line in order to go to maths. In NI here there are at least two teacher unions, and for some past strikes we would go in and just some teachers would be in, the others have empty classes The good days where when all your classes had teachers who were off. happyhippy fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Feb 17, 2022 |
