Possibly, although it's not like British racists don't hate the Eastern Europeans too. Its just easier for their tiny brains when the object of their hate is colour coded.
He's using waaaay too much chalk on that cue.
Wtf is "Leicestershire cheese"? Do you mean "Red Leicester"?
I was 30 miles from home when I realised there was a bee stuck in the car. I felt strangely guilty and drove all the way back home to let her out so she didn't get stranded with no hive.
Bee/was. But about 85-90% of bees are female.
We gave our recommendations to the county. How much attention was paid to that recommendation I don't know. It doesn't change how they treated it though.
I was a parish councillor for a while. The planning committee was so odd. They wanted an ex-army barracks redeveloped but fought every option hard. For small stuff, they were obsessed with anything blocking daylight. Everything blocks daylight somewhere...
Only if they all look and sound like 1970s Open University presenters.
"These are my children δy and δx..." #mathsJoke
We're talking about the comparison to wanting a partner without tattoos because it means they're under 18.
Right. So wanting a partner without pubic hair is considerably more concerning than wanting one without tattoos.
What absolute bollocks. If you want to go down this insane route, you'd be better off making a claim about pubic hair.
The worst photo on my dating profile is unfocused, dark, and slightly concerning. This opin is rated as accurate.
I'll give "him" this... it was less annoying than copilot is. I always assumed it was another refugee from Microsoft BOB. Clippy and Comic Sans. *shudder*
The worst kind of people* are the type who think that having a kid somehow makes their opinion more valid. * Terms, conditions, and hyperbole apply.
Union flags were more popular until they got hijacked by the NF and BNP. I'll let you come to your own conclusions about the St George cross.
Maybe it's because she knows they're a security nightmare and completely unnecessary for most people.
Doom debugging, its like doom scrolling but you just keep trying one thing after another to fix a bug and at some point you should really stop but you can't ðŸ˜
"...and this is our son, Robin Banks."
I feel like this is referring to something specific and I have no idea what...
No... Shirts go on the outside because there's more vertical space.
Ah, revenge, a dish best served in 305 years time...
Fuel is currently around 50% tax. Beer duty is comparatively low - typically less than £1 / pint. Some places charging nearly a tenner a pint is disgusting. I don't get price controls in an international market. If it can't be supplied cheaply enough, it just won't come here.
Odd take. Do you have the same opinion on the A428/A421 running from Cambridge to Oxford?
They're just a bit shite. One couple doing something like this is cute. 50 of them is weird. Hundreds of them is just unimaginative bollocks.
Good for you. All donating should be anonymous.
I get that this is hyperbole, but I feel like you don't know what infinitely means. Mind you... Drinking British lager at any time is a red flag for being a twat...
Not sure why this is a fess - this is respite. My wife gets whatever they call DLA / PIP this week. Took us ages to realise that we shouldn't feel guilty about spending it on non- medical stuff. It's there to help with ANY stuff she can't do because of her health.
Yeah... I don't think I've used it as an adult, which would mean at least 30 years. Seemed apt considering the context.
The scent of soap implies cleanliness, I get that, but chlorinated water? That's municipal attempts to deal with bacteria in manky situations. Or American chicken (which is much the same deal). The first sentence said female OP. The second screamed bloke who had his first stiffy at the pool.
Oh, in my house some twat made the recesses for the dishwasher and washing machine 70mm shallower than normal. Finding appliances that fit is a major ball ache.
Defending yourself against people attacking in numbers is Sudoku.
The set up was there and it didn't disappoint.
But, why? They were worse in every way. Even the French gave up on them.
I get where you are coming from, but seeing as how boomers are probably the most likely to bother making beef wellington, I'd blame this fess on just about any group other than boomers.
At a discounted rate by avoiding local taxes? Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how they shop.
I assume you mean wegovy. It's been in use for nearly ten years with no obvious complications. Note sure why you would assume it has a higher chance of causing lawsuit-worthy complications than any other drug.
Considering Ofcom are named in the videos as having "approved" it, saying Ofcom have confirmed it isn't correct is relevant. Same as The Gruauniad saying they never reported on it. There's no reason to assume the regulator would be lying about this. The Home Office, possibly I guess.
Are you really suggesting Ofcom are the ones that can't be trusted in this?
But it's so believable! Everyone knows that criminals *always* spend the first ten minutes checking on Jimmy the Hatchet's mother's diabetes and if Tiny Hands Donny is healing okay after having his ear shot off...
I hate it when a recipe doesn't state Celsius or Fahrenheit. Is that 2000c=3900f, or 2000f=1090c? These things matter, people. I need to know if my cup of water is going to be hot enough to brew tea. (Even saying that in jest hurt)
We've found the statistician. ;)
The original post was weird. This is weirder.
I assume you've sat on at least half a dozen juries to be able to make this claim as anything other than a reflection on the one jury you've been on?
Are you *still* annoyed about that book on cycling?
It's fascinating watching Labour do all the things they accused the Tories of doing. And the Tories trying to make it sound like they never would have done what Labour is doing and they were doing. It's almost like throwing stones from the opposition bench is easier than actually doing things...
Or, just do your fucking job or leave and let your colleagues find a replacement who isn't a twat. You were hired to work in the office. It's not unreasonable for them to "force" you to return.
Just so I know, are the fandoms assuming Butterfly and Covert Affairs are the same universe yet?
Auction can still be new, genius.
If you bought it new for £2k you won't have been able to sell it for £2k, let alone £5k. Not unless it was a vintage piece. You know that thing about cars losing 10% by leaving the forecourt? Diamonds are worse. Much much worse.
If you think a Premier Inn breakfast is "posh" then you really need to get out more. Bacon doesn't only exist in the forms of "warm jerky" or "congealed fat transportation device". (No Brooklyn 99 "name of my sex tape" gif?)
If you reclassify landings as "low grade crashes" then you get more crashes, but the survivability goes WAAAY up.
Oh god no. Marti(n) would be sucking on a post-coital gaulois before he asked Mme Lorraine Baines what her name was...
Gary is very grateful for the £325, three iPads, a personal massager, and a kilo of finest Colombian. He says hasn't found the card though.
Kid I went to school with was in the 2019 Tory leadership battle. I refuse to be old enough for that to be a possibility. My main memory of him was him winning the 100m, crossing the line running backwards as he jeered 2nd place.
I would say that humiliating the fuckers might stop "celebs" agreeing to this bullshit. Then I remember all the celeb shows that are purely based on humiliating then...
Unless your cat was an adult male lion, I think people will notice the difference...
It's not often I have a defense, but this time I can blame Wikipedia for how it's written out.
*Treasonous Colonials' day.
Don't pretend we didn't all do similarly stupid and pointless shit as kids. We just didn't record it.
Never heard a contented rock/city pigeon. The "oooh-oooh ooh" noise wood pigeons make is wonderful for the first few minutes. After six hours it definitely gets on your tits.
When computers first started using them, they were effectively the same thing - a font was one glyph set, at one size, weight and style. At least on the web we refer to them as a font family which (if done properly) contains files for different weights and styles. Not sizes though.
*Cancellations board
Obligatory "oh wow! She did the same to me too" comment.
"outdated tunes" makes it sound like you'd be happier if they played newer music. If I ever hear an ice-cream van playing "Baby Shark", I *shall* hunt you down...
Not sure this is why they called left handers "sinister"...
If they're in a shed, definitely, although British cattle don't spend a huge amount of time inside. But if they're outside... Have you ever had a beach ball on the beach? How long was it before it made a bid for freedom, heading for foreign shores or a group of bored cows?
Hold them by the ears and dunk them in a milk churn?
Minimolism *short* be a shirtier weird, like vowel control
"Everyone will know where Liverpool and Leeds are. Worthing? Best put the county. Those thickos though... Best put the county AND the area of the country..." A true Diss...
This is possibly one of the weirdest opins I've seen this year.
Wait til you find out that Jupiter doesn't orbit the sun...
Of course, this is a percentage of those arrested not a percentage of those being violent or a percentage of those attending. They're likely similar, I do appreciate.
At least her version only involved urine. Most watersports involve dodging shit, condoms, ecoli, three versions of the plague and (worst of all) the type of people who own speed boats.
Why does this feel so wrong but a sausage roll is apparently acceptable?
Unless it sells battered sausage, I'm not sure what the relevance of this is...
The way you've just dropped "pork cake" in there as if it's perfectly normal suggests you are from (*quickly googles*) America and you have just lost all rights to complain about British cooking. Then again, if you'd said candied bacon...
Metal bowls didn't fix it, but it definitely improved things.
I wish Postville Newfoundland was more famous.
TIL... No idea why, but I thought a parsec was a light second. It's actually about 3 light years.
Not where I thought that was going. Ours had feline acne, which meant the beautiful white fur under her chin got a black coating on it. We had to regularly clean her chin with a toothbrush...
Sorry, you mean people actually use that?
The fact that QR codes are blindly trusted isn't the fault of QR codes. That's like blaming ISO for pornography.
This is either copying an old joke, or confessing that you acted out an old joke.
Most of them I can ignore. The mini battenburg though... Those fuckers just evaporate. It's the only possible answer.
This depends how big the rounding is. If it's a few pixels then it can be almost invisible but somehow gives a more polished look. If it's 25-30% then yeah, it can be a bit wasteful. But there's a whole range of options between the two.
Whatever they want. CEO, probably. But not entrepreneur. That's something you are called by other people. Anyone who calls themselves an entrepreneur is invariably a twat
To be fair, they never said it was less bad than porn. Just that it wasn't porn.
Can we go further? "Each country should be restricted to 2 professional football clubs [...]" In reality, most professional sports would be better if they were all amateur anyway.
Founder only works when it's a big company and you're not just the CEO but the first employee. I hate it, but I hate it less than I hate people who call themselves an entrepreneur.
No, that's not what I'm saying. People can go wherever they want. As I said before, I'm talking about policies. A country shouldn't be relying on the fact they can poach people from other places, fucking those countries up as a result.
Or do you want to talk about people rather than skills? Just off the top of my head, I know Japan, Italy and Spain all famously have villages that are dead or dying because the younger generations left for more money. Many rural UK areas complain of similar things (although to a lesser extent).
Looking at skills (and because the NHS data is easily available) 9% of nurses in the UK are Indian by nationality, and 7% are Filipino. Want to guess how big the surplus of nurses is in India and the Philippines? I'll give you a hint - both countries claim they have a major problem.
You've got to love the emotional maturity of someone who replies and then blocks you.
And your argument is what...? That you're too stupid and lacking in empathy to understand that FGM is fucking horrific?
I know you're talking about immigration. There were about a million £10 poms over 30 years. I'm talking about rich areas taking advantage of poorer ones - young skilled people leave an area for better pay and the area they came from suffers badly. It happens nationality and internationally.
I'm not forgetting it. This is about policy not individual choice. You're talking about a country needing to lure skilled individuals away from other countries for it to survive.
