a pipe smoking dog posted:Go back in time and tell the thread that if they support Clegg instead Brown it's going to end with Liz Truss becoming prime minister. She was an officer of some kind in young lib dems wasn't she? Given the zeitgeist I'd expect at least someone in the thread to be aware of her at the time. Also wasn't there someone who said she looked rather good looking. Was it pissflaps or someone.

bessantj posted:That's the cost of the standing charge? Disgraceful. This reminds me that I keep getting letters from Scottish Energy addressed to VACANT VACANT and telling me my prepaid meter needs money. I've been paying direct debit to a different huge provider for a long time - ever since I moved in - and have only a standard non-smart non-prepaid meter. Also my name is not VACANT VACANT. I didn't really care about it much to be honest thinking it's a scam, but maybe it's a different scam of some kind where they are trying to pin a balance on me somehow for someone. Who knows. I know the previous tenant had the same DD provider too. Their support lines are utterly hosed so I can't be bothered to care.

What I don't get is how that place is the price that it is, given how far away from central London it seems to be. To the point where it's more accurate to describe the location as "how very close to the edge of 'still technically London' it is".

Answers Me posted:I wonder how many shitposters are going to get fired and/or arrested next week Makes me wonder if the Chumbawamba song I listened to as a teenager, which has been mostly scrubbed from the web despite having an album named after, named "Farewell to the crown" which contains appalling words like "right between the eyes" would cause a lynching. I'm certainly nowhere near a brave or callous man enough to try. Even the deliveroo guy delivering my subway footlong was a bit teary-eyed. I hope the above post has sufficient sombreness and decorum to pass the muster.

I don't get why they are okay endlessly showing us their gates and aircraft steps but won't show any of the royal fam. I mean I do get why, but it's not very riveting. It's no American 9/11 coverage to be sure.

Mega Comrade posted:Welsh football? Now you're just making things up. I'm curious if I should have one if I watch TV for genuine technical reasons during WFH for a major broadcaster - I expect they definitely have a business license and nobody said anything (&they also offer tv/isp to us for free, which I don't use because I don't want them looking at my Internet use) but it does make me a bit nervous. Maybe I should ask, but not sure who. e: Also I'm afraid the answer at lower management levels would be "are we not paying you enough" and result only in manager annoyance, but they definitely either have a business licence or are exempt somehow.

From articles specifically about the Truss team vision of them it seems like they will just be places with lower tariffs and taxes, possibly with some reduced employment rights as well. Still deeply worrying mind you. It might be neutered into nothingness once it hits parliament and the papers though.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Firm responsible for the Horizon fiasco where bad software led to sub postmasters being falsely accused of theft leading to jail and in at least one case suicide have given the contract to run PNC To be fair that's just Fujitsu, they do a lot of things and that software was written ~25 years ago. That is a lot of time in computer terms. I wouldn't necessarily buy Japanese business software regardless given how cumbersome it has reputation for being, but I don't think the Horizon debacle has much bearing on any of it.

I think the worst part is the rent, I do live in a small studio alone, but across bills and rent I'm spending about 70% of my after-tax income on it. That is not a joke. And I earn substantially more than 32k. Things are tough if you don't have a house, far more so than if you do but only earn half as much.

This means that wherever you go and whatever you do, you have to be ready to give unimportant but well paid jobs to the useless dipshit you were at charterhouse with. Most importantly though you never appoint anyone you consider better than you, because they WILL take your job. Also she started out as lib dem and then switched to Tory to get elected.
