Guavanaut posted:Ed Sheeran seems to have embarrassed himself even further by scabbing. What a oval office. And I thought he'd never find a way to annoy me more than releasing his lovely disposable records on vinyl, clogging up the production line so stuff from labels who kept the medium alive only gets released months after the CD sometimes.

Have to oil them every 3-6 months to lessen the damage done by spills, but there's still warping & discolouration around the sink. Just more effort than you want to put in.

Private Speech posted:Funny thing is I've never seen anyone bullied by conspicuous consumption or lack thereof in Czechia, where uniforms are basically non-existent. It's the later. But also just teens are feral monsters, they'll always find something about someone in a other social group that's different and really just go for it. Different colour of hair, cheap brand of shoes, wrong taste in music, whatever. Which is why the uniform thing is nonsense, if you all wear the same uniform they'll just find something else if they are inclined to bully

"The Met Office has said temperatures could be 4C hotter than the Spanish island of Ibiza and British temperatures could also be warmer than Ayia Napa in Cyprus (30C) and Athens in Greece, where it could be 27C on Thursday." Fortunately a more pleasant 20°C up in the far north but it's always a good and healthy sign when it's warmer in Melton Mowbray than it is in the Med

ellspurs posted:They seemed to have found him somewhere in Chiswick: It's honestly a very poor show, didn't even make it out of the Congestion Charge area. Feel like he'd have done better if he got further from London. Go somewhere on the east coast & steal a boat, then you're on the continent. You'd probably need to do it quick but I feel like a minor disguise you'd be fine on a bus out of London. It's either that or you stay local & stay out of sight for a week or two until the media have moved on to other stories & thus you increase the chance of not being spotted by members of the public.

Fun and not totally predictable story from The Guardian Voter ID in England lead to racial and disability discrimination, report finds The authors found that “polling clerks are more likely to fail to compare a photo ID to the person presenting that document if the person is of a different ethnicity”. They also highlighted the case of Andrea Barratt, who is immunocompromised and was blocked from entering a polling booth after refusing to remove her mask for an identification check. The report says: “Their decision in that instance was … clearly discriminatory (and potentially unlawful) because they denied Andrea Barratt the right to cast a ballot purely on the basis of circumstances which arose as a direct result of a disability.”

Mega Comrade posted:People were screaming for the Staffordshire bull terrier to be banned a couple years ago. Now the number of incidents linked to them has fallen despite their ownership numbers barely moving. Its now the Bully XL that has caught the Daily Mails eye. I've been bitten more by annoying little yappy dogs that were bred to chase hares and foxes for toffs than by pitbull and similar dogs. Honestly, a lot of people shouldn't be allowed to own dogs, because they are too lazy or cruel or stupid or whatever. The breed is less the problem than the people. Although I'm all in favour of banning the musician Pitbull

Almost as if there's an entire sub-forum for people to talk about dogs & other pets. So to at least try & take the thread away from what will end up being an 18 page, 3 day long diversion where everyone talks past everyone else, I see the HMV bid to take over half of the Wilkos stores has been turned down, so that's the workers hosed. And also Lord Agnew has come out and said that when he was a Minister during the May years the Treasury refused to front up money outside of the standard Education budget for the schools that desperately needed to replace RAAC. What a farce.

Landlords (not even all of them, just the loving AirBnB parasites) are truly oppressed by being made to fill in some paperwork before the end of this month, which they have had loving ages to do. And whom amongst us can forget the great Odessa Pogrom during 1905, with over 400 Jewish residents killed by the onslaught of paperwork, & over 1,500 Jewish owned businesses destroyed by angry bigoted crowds of bureaucrats forcing them to close for not filling in the appropriate forms.

The Office of Environmental Protection are concerned ministers have broken the law and foolishly expect something to happen about it, loving marks. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/12/ministers-may-have-broken-law-over-sewage-dumping-in-england-says-watchdog "...an investigation suggested the government, the Environment Agency and Ofwat may be failing to comply with environmental law and allowing raw sewage to be discharged by water companies more frequently than the law allows."
