I’m proud “our country” has some top tier stone circles and peat bogs and practices the traditions of cheese wheel rolling, stinging nettle eating and gurning but could do without the xenophobia and desperation for empire

I think the big argument against let it rip planning reform is that most of the private developers want to build absolute arse. If all you want to do is have big number for report, then yeah, cardboard box semis in a swamp with no school or bus stop will do that for you. But it's shit.

See what we did was refused to invest in the train network for decades because Tories hate trains for some reason. Then we realised we had no capacity so we had to raise ticket prices to manage demand by pricing people off the trains. Then we said "only rich people use it."

Is it the sequel to Lesbian Vampire Killers?

It really is just like a large segment of the press got a script and despite how things have played out are refusing to deviate from it. He's deeply unpopular within his own party so unless they ban other candidates he can't win and he's going to lose his seat! How is this still going?

Also, it doesn't make sense as a reason because busking is a nice thing to have near residences.

Watching its surging lap-bound fingers cross the table.

Spilling a beer is the adult equivalent of losing a balloon.

Stale sweat, tobacco, cleaning agents

Incident by Norman MacCaig I look across the table and think (fiery with love) Ask me, go on, ask me to do something impossible, something freakishly useless, something unimaginable and inimitable Like making a finger break into blossom or walking for half an hour in twenty minutes or remembering tomorrow. I will you to ask it. But all you say is Will you give me a cigarette? And I smile and, returning to the marvelous world of possibility I give you one with a hand that trembles with a human trembling.

Came across this MacCaig poem by chance and bloody hell, amazing

Ah yes, I'd forgotten the Mexican flag is the same colours.

Is that not Italia '90?

Palk, the time is 2300h,have you had your anabolic French toast?!

Hercules Nutrition and Training, a team of Indiana-based personal trainers and coaches, posts videos about how to boost testosterone alongside recipes for anabolic French toast. Much of their content focuses on “24/7 accountability,”

It's not even the wildest phrase in the article, which I've just looked up, which goes to "anabolic French toast".

Purse pilchards.

😁

It's riffing off the 'why does the left have nothing to say to get young men laid?' discourse.

Why does the left have nothing to say about seagulls?

Why hasn’t the left got anything to say about my kids arguing and not going to sleep.

The other way around!

gulls are a protected species, sadly

Reminds me of aural sex.

A farting lyric, if ever there was one!

Agreed. The nice thing about the results was the approximate parity in estimates.

Yes, especially if you only got a single shot as the question implies.

But then, if it was run so that everyone got their single shot sequentially the keeper would get tired. I'd enjoy a theme park equivalent where you bought a ticket and queued round a stadium for an afternoon.

Some smart retired firefighters I know refer to "mitigations that matter" when they talk about these interventions. That signals a world where everybody has a class A roof, all gutters and vents are screened, everybody has good zone zero, but homeowners aren't replacing siding and windows.
