Getting aerated about the fact that you can kill prostitutes and ‘get away with it’ in GTA is a bit like getting aerated about the fact that you can kill prostitutes in real life and get away with it.

Isn’t getting aerated about the second thing is a perfectly legitimate reaction?

Three bottom of the range Mieles in my family. All worked perfectly so far.

Shut up!

No!

Maybe invest in a franchise

Terrible idea! Franchisors will squeeze every penny out of you. I don’t think most franchises would exist if it weren’t for the sub-minimum wage labour of the franchisees.

To be fair, these watches appreciate in value and are really bought as an investment.

Do they really all go up in value?

hitting and killing a 75-year- old widow

As an aside, if you think about it it’s a bit weird that they chose to identify the victim in terms of who she was in relation to a man.

That’s a good idea.

Also, v funny xc-sc!

The brother is not being an arse; he’s getting married where he wants to get married. He doesn’t have to do that somewhere suitable for his nieces/newlywed. The guilt trip is coming from the mother. OP just needs to MTFU and say “no, I’m not going”.

Do you have to stay in Glasgow? Could you not get an onshore job that’s not in Aberdeen?

Your accountant couldn’t GAS if you get whacked by the Revenue!

Hang in there, MrO.

I’m in the same boat as OP’s wife. It’s something that makes you stand out but it’s not so good imvhe. The times when I’ve been booze-free I’ve been much calmer and have more energy. It’s very hard for social situations esp work though. Stress/anxiety is my reason/underlying cause.

Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro, Corbyn.

Was reading an Honest Jihn column ages ago where some punter was complaining about brake problems on an Audi. HJ told him it was his fault for living in Jersey and never giving the disks and pads a decent blast at speed.

John Lewis was doing Airs £75 cheaper than Apple!

That appears to feature the evil pig so I’m afraid the fatwa against Peppa also covers her lupine apologists.

5 years for this scumbag…

You can slag off most classifieds sellers as much as you want because they don’t come on the main or bike forums anyway.

They’re a weird size too! 34w/30leg/skinny fit

compared to how my wife’s company treats them , bonus, presents and a meal , son in law £500 bonus and he’s only been with his company just over a year

Chin up, OP. You’ve obviously married well and brought your son up to be smart and useful so that employers value him. :)

My MIL will also be bringing her partner, who is a bin man, will open cans of fosters at breakfast time, enjoys watching CBeebies and comes out with gems such as ‘this time last year it was christmas day’ (an actual quote, he said it with no irony)

He sounds like a good guy to pair up with some of the yammerers.

I don’t talk much. I need people like him to keep the chatty Cathys entertained.

Not a murderer.

14 years is the max sentence. If he didn’t plead guilty at first opportunity (he had a jury trial) I have to agree I don’t see why he didn’t get the max. There were plenty of aggrevating circumstances (from what one can see from the brief article).

Typical leftie bullshit from the Institute of Directors. Why don’t they go and live in North Korea if they like it so much?

The “bus driver uncle passengers screaming” joke is an ancient Bob Monkouse gag (and he probably got it from somewhere else). The “tattooed on my forehead” joke is all over the Internet (with American brands).

I have to say I did like the hamster wheel joke at the beginning tho

Crowd work is legitimate comedy but from what OP remembers it sounds like real old-fashioned dross.

he people who don’t make much profit, so the tax changes will have a big impact on them, will be selling their properties. Which will restrict supply, which will push the price up of rented accommodation.

…but will increase the supply of houses for sale, which will depress sale prices, which will cause some people to buy instead of rent which will cause rental demand to fall which will cause rents to fall AND the lower purchase prices will cause some people to buy to let which will increase supply of rental properties which will cause rents to fall, which will cause some people to rent instead of buy which will…

It’s a dynamic and complicated market with all sorts of oddball human “noneconomic” behaviour. You can’t just say that x will cause y and then everything stops.

Heckles, except as you leave, are taking a knife to a gunfight.

Heh – they’ve had more practice than you and they have a microphone!

Details of other sources that also don’t substantiate the Wikipedia article?

That’s easy. Here’s one: http://www.htpcbeginner.com/install-kodi-on-amazon-fire-tv/

Sorry, I didn’t realise that article was the crux of the issue at this point in time

You asked a question; your own source answered the question in plain English; you then suggested your source implied something it doesn’t; it doesn’t.

I don’t know what the point of all this is when you won’t even read the sources that you yourself cite.

That article completely omits to mention the supply bill failure which actually precipitated the deadlock in the federal parliament (although the G-G’s actions are now generally regarded as formally constitutional but entirely undemocratic).

The UKUSA…Due to its status as a secret treaty, its existence was not known to the Prime Minister of Australia until 1973,[14] and it was not disclosed to the public until 2005.

Except that source [14] doesn’t say it is a secret treaty, it says it’s a group, and it’s an offhand reference in a Canadian article that uses a YouTube video as a source. Not for the first time, the source doesn’t say what you want it to say, and it’s bobbins in any case.

As 100 days passes, do I detect a very slight softening of the media stance towards Corbs? It’s most unsettling. Like a crocodile that submerges 50yds from where you are swimming…

You’ve got to build them back up a bit before you knock them down again.

So Special Branch knew several politicians were abusing children?

That’s not what the article says and nor it is a reasonable inference from the article.

What we do in the shadows is a very funny film on netflix

Annett’s documentary came out in 2006, the same year as (but after) the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. The agreement in turn was the out working of a 1996 report that also contained a recognition and apology for the schools. Th agreement then led to the creation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission which recently published its report.

It’s just not true that “Kevin Annett…made the documentary which led to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognizing the horrific genocide carried out in residential schools and calling for an apology from the Pope”. If that’s the authority the child-snatching monarchs allegation rests on, it doesn’t stack up.

I’ll never buy so much as a Marathon from Safeway again. Last time they crushed my Watneys Party 7 so it spilled all over the back seat of my Austin!

Get over your own internet ego trips

As ego trips go, posting a pseudonymous short comment about a sports show on an Internet forum is pretty modest. It’s not like he invaded Iraq or anything. :D

Kevin Annett, who made the documentary which led to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recognizing the horrific genocide carried out in residential schools and calling for an apology from the Pope, also included the allegations in his documentary.

Trudeau was just elected. Harper apologised for the residential schools on behalf of the government and people of Canada in 2008.
