That’s… completely mental.

Dawn, the plot thickens! Shows that we shouldn’t be so quick to judge.

Having said that, if I was having this conversation in a second language, I wouldn’t be so intransigent about it.

I (in the UK) say “prize” if it’s something you’re winning, and “prise” if you’re trying to open something with a crowbar.

Put them on the metal bit on the side of the sink (not in it), then later once it’s cooled put it in the bin or food waste bin depending on if the bags are biodegradable. No smell, and the sink remains fully in service.

I feel like I’m missing something here, did they not see the big building called “Abbey Road Recording Studio”? It’s probably the most famous recording studio in the world and I believe they occasionally do tours and events.

It’s because they’re all shit at politics. Any leader with an ounce of charisma and courage would at least be able to get us back into the single market. They all argued vociferously against it when the vote was happening. Then after a 52-48 vote 9 years ago they still can’t muster up the courage to change something.

It’s like the self-imposed fiscal rules: they could get rid of them overnight, but they’d need to make the case for it, and have a plan for how to use that new freedom. But they’d rather throw up their hands and complain about all the obstacles in their way.

I’ve got a lighter story to add to the thread. One girl in my school apparently wrote a letter to the parents of one of her friends, saying a bunch of stuff about her, slagging her off etc.

Nobody outside her group of friends knew (or cared) about it, but the teachers decided to hold an assembly about it, not mentioning any details but saying “if you know anything about this, talk to us”. Of course the Streisand effect came into force and we were all talking and speculating about it. I’m still not fully sure of the details, and I find it crazy how the teachers decided that this drama between friends needed to be blown up into a big Incident.

KKR will “help it deal with its mountain of debt”. How nice of them to not expect anything in return!

Idk what to tell you. It’s a word with a meaning that you can look up in the dictionary. Sometimes people use it wrong. But I’ve explained what it means and I can’t be arsed to argue semantics.

That’s your issue with it? Seems like splitting hairs.

So is being scared of Muslims.

It’s similar to the word “homophobia”, i.e. an irrational hatred (and fear in some cases) of a particular group. What’s the problem with having a word for it? It’s not like it doesn’t exist.

The thing is, the ICC already has an arrest warrant out for Netanyahu. who else are they waiting for?

You can still find Unreal Tournament servers now. I checked it out recently because I used to play loads of UT back in the day, but everyone on there is so skilled I assume they must have been playing non stop for the past 25 years.

Sounds like you were the one being a troll in this case.

It’s based in the Netherlands but the parent company is American.

I have one friend who got divorced. It was difficult for him since it was during COVID and their 2-year-old daughter was involved, but now he’s thriving and super well-adjusted. I think some people just refuse to come to terms with things beyond their control (namely the people in the pic).

Absolutely insane article. It sounds like he thinks putting British troops in Ukraine will push Russia back out of the Donbas. They’re going there as peacekeepers, not to “secure a decisive victory”.

Why is Thames Water commissioning studies about people’s immigration status? Stop pissing about and fix the pipes!

Yeah it’s real - people can have a seizure despite having no prior symptoms, and a scan won’t be able to tell you they’ve had one unless they had it inside the MRI scanner. Unfortunately that’s what makes it a plausible get-out-of-jail-free card for causing death by dangerous/distracted driving.
