Nah that’s Dem, he missed off the U

Chicken Tikka Masala is Scottish

Nah sorry can’t buy that. You still go, you're still part of the church, if you are only selecting the bits you agree with, why bother? I presume the church is no difference in the US to here, there’s still a collection plate each service, do you stipulate when that money gets spent? Anyway, this is for the religion thread

You belong to a church that agrees with the Trump / GOP stance on Roe vs Wade

Religion being used for its intended purpose.

75-80% of the people have never agreed with anything in a western liberal democracy.

Beware the grandparent rule

A reaction to dropping in the polls, ramp up the threat and the rhetoric

If you studied my music posts you'd have realised long ago in was an O

I once flew on a Bulgarian state carrier (just after the collapse of the Bloc), I don't know the exact model but it was Russian (obv), you could literally see the rivets in the plane and some of them were definitely rotating. The aircrew just kept us plied with enough alcohol so it didn't matter (I particularly remember something they described as Red Champagne ), free cigarettes even (make it hazy so they cant see the rivets) and yes we hit turbulence too. That was nothing compared to the taxi drivers in the resort. I was convinced the Bulgarians had a secret plot to dominate the World Rally Championships and Borovets was the training school

Welcome to the ON-U Sound posse

I got my copy of that by buying enough cereal to get tokens to get a free chart album It's also the most flimsy groove jammed record I own and it plays just fine. These days it would be a double album with a gatefold sleeve on 180g vinyl

Not sure that has anything to do with left and right. The right are against it but I can find you many many left wing (some extreme) who are absolutely against it Yeah the right wing never ban anyone from speaking or receiving funding, hell there's even a new definition from the UK government on extremism only this week. This line is only peddled by disingenuous hypocritical politicians So people shouldn't identify as anything and organise on that basis? Black people shouldn't be allowed to organise protests about racism for example, what on earth do you imagine you're talking about? Also women have been organising and campaigning around sexism for a considerable time. This also isn't exclusively left wing, its just another right wing meaningless line, its bollocks

What utter nonsense. A group of people stormed the seat of government and some of them were clearly looking for Pence and Pelosi. There were less people involved and less people injured in the Storming of the WInter Palace.

Specifically sides C and D (because I wanted to listen to Silly Games by Janet Kay) Dennis Bovell - The Dubmaster. Career spanning anthology of one of the two best British Dub Producers and without Bovell its doubtful that Adrian Sherwood would have got started (Bovell showed him the ropes early on

I think the whole album is great tbh, full of absolutely legendary Jamaican musicians including Sly & Robbie, Tommy McCook and Bobby Ellis. But as is often the case it all goes back to Lee Perry. Without Scratch, Joe Gibbs wouldn’t have got started. I think my favourite from the album is this

Depends, is the alternative Tupolev?

BC Camplight - The Last Rotation of Earth Yes some large chap with a beard vandalised it just after I bought it at the gig It should also be noted that the band, selling their own album, presumably on sale or return to the record company, can afford to sell their current album from the merch stall at £20

Marché aux Fleurs on the Cours Saleya in Nice is worth getting up in the morning for Hard trying to find a photo that does it justice tbh but its really three markets, flowers in the early morning, switches to food later on in the morning and then a more touristy market in the late afternoon / evening, selling more arty stuff Even better, its surrounded by the bars and restaurants of old town Nice and its a stones throw from the Promenade de Anglais and the beach

I messed up the copy paste and can't be arsed going back. I got 4 on 1002

8th oil refinery in Russia spontaneously combusts this week

Took a -8 to bring in Toney, Bowen and Udogie giving me 9 players. Took out Haaland, Foden and Estupinan I was only going to take the one hit but decided I’m wildcarding next GW so that kinda changed my perspective as a -8 is only really -4 this week

No alarm, up around 6, make coffee, have a ciggie, put an album or two on whilst dicking about on t'internet, occasionally get up to change record, jump in shower about 7:40, get dressed, leave for work about 8:15, drive to work, get there before 9. Maybe do kitchen chores I’ve not done night before but they are usually done. Mondays and Wednesdays, I'll also make soup for lunch in that time but that usually amounts to about 15 mins total inc washing up, more than one small black coffee may be imbibed as is my want that day

Not really, half of them don’t even go to lectures any more, the lectures are on but they are also usually put online too so if they miss them they can catch up remotely. Then when you take “Reading Weeks” and “Exam Leave” into account it’s probably about 50/50. Home/Uni. Students are always going home for long weekends or to other Uni towns to visit mates from school. They also traditionally do shite all on a Wednesday afternoon (sports take place at this point), lectures on a Friday afternoon are rare. Arts courses are usually quite light on the lecture schedule, Science less so. There’s a whole bunch of different factors for different students.
