What's a civil parish? I don't know, English local government is a loving wild mess of layers upon layers.

Literally so, if (like me) you need to show the various authorities in an area in a map. At least in my home country I can be certain that any part of the country belongs to a municipality, a province, and the national government and they all neatly fit into each other. Unincorporated land in the US is a fun concept too.

e: parish councils seem to exist mostly because nobody had the heart to fire them

Churchill was a piece of poo poo but he did serve in the military and did see combat. So trying to put him across as hiding from the war is a bit odd.

He even got stuck in himself putting down the locals in India.

Well yes but did he ever hide in a fridge?

quote:

Huw Merriman, the Conservative chair of the Commons transport committee, has said that Peter Hebblethwaite should resign in the light of his admission to MPs this morning that his company deliberately chose to break the law about consulting the workforce about redundancies.

quote:

"There are ramifications for that – personally liability for the chief executive who, I have to say, needs to consider his position. It’s untenable to come to parliament say you decided to break the law, you have no regrets."

Careful there, wouldn't want to set a precedent that breaking the law means you'd have to resign.

stop posting about grown men slapping each other for a bit. What's wrong with cheap, recyclable paper packaging?

Thinking about this puts me in mind of a fun* puzzle:

You're working the front desk at the Infinite Hotel. Unfortunately, it's been overbooked! All of the infinite rooms are occupied, when another guest arrives. How do you make space for them? Just move every guest into the next room number (n+1), and put the new one into room 1. Easy. Then, a coach arrives, containing an infinite number of guests, all needing rooms. How do you get these ones in? Move every current guest into the room whose number is double the one they are in right now, you've freed up all infinity odd-numbered rooms, assign each of the new guests room number 2n-1 in the order they come off the coach. Finally, an infinite number of coaches arrive, each with infinite guests - same question? I actually can't remember the solution to this one, answers on a postcard

*for some

I'm not a fancy math person but surely if your infinite rooms are all full then you are already housing infinite people, and it would not be possible for more people to arrive?

The only options in my ward are Tory and Lib Dem. I might actually vote lib dem just to spite the Tories, or I might just write JEREMY CORBYN on my ballot

I think I just bought a house, which is quite a relief to know that I hopefully won't need to deal with petty landlords and letting agents much longer.

There is a title condition thats states a maximum of one dog and /or cat can be kept on the premises, but lol if I'm going to pay heed to that bullshit on an ex council scheme.

What about, say, two dozen ferrets?

If they take Stonehenge to Russia then they can finally build that tunnel, or not bother with a tunnel really. And think of the savings in your heritage budget!
