Better than spending it giving tax breaks to the rich or subsidising companies that are destroying the planet.

Yeah cause leaving companies and the super rich to self regulate has worked so well.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s not in the public sphere but your private collection, so you do you chap.

In my opinion privately owned art of a high enough cultural value should either not be allowed to be privately owned, or if it is then it should have to be on permanent loan to free admission public galleries. But that’s not the case.

Not this shit again

But you wouldn’t text another iPhone. You’d WhatsApp the person.

That’s the trap the restaurant uses to get out of giving 10% off.

One of my cats does the same. My assumption is he was taken from the mother cat too young so never learned how to do things properly.

For the smell maybe try grain free food.

🤣

Didn’t work for me. How do you turn that on?

Fair. It’s hard to know sometimes if someone has English as a first or second language. People can be really technically good, but then not understand more subtle cultural things.

Never know maybe both of our comments will help some people.

It’s common in English to refer to a collective like a company or government as though it were an individual. I think it’s just a simple short hand really.

Eg “The whitehouse said today…” We know that the whitehouse (a building) doesn’t have the power of speech and that really means “a whitehouse spokesperson working in an official capacity on behalf of the government said today”.

Really the headline should be something along the lines of “what, exactly, are Xbox business strategists thinking?” But because of the common knowledge of how this shorthand works they can just use the headline they did.

There’s probably a fancy linguistic name for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines. - Pink Floyd

To smoke a fag in British English means a very very different thing to in American English.

I think you’ve misread it. Not that it’s that much better.

20 months sentence (though probably half of that will be custodial the rest on licence/parole)

3 years and 10 month ban then an “extended” drivers test to get it back.

X Window System (X11, or simply X) is a windowing system for bitmap displays, common on Unix-like operating systems.

Not great, not terrible.

Shit on it, RIP Paul Ritter

People often think of this as a Tory problem, but it makes Labour jizz their pants just as much.

The UK doesn’t do life sentences with no eligibility for parole. Every sentence will include eligibility for parole, with the maximum period for eligibility being around 25 years.

That’s not entirely true. Full life orders do exist.

That nurse who killed all those babies got one last year, that police officer who kidnapped raped and murdered Sarah Everard has one, Dr Harold Shipman had one, and probably most famously Mira Hindley and Ian Brady had them.

Should do the same with the congestion charge too.
