Lots of people would argue that the UK police “went to shit” sometime after the sixth of March 1984

Much as a 12oz steak won’t weigh exactly twelve ounces when served to you after cooking them a 2x4 piece of wood was nominally that measurement prior to the kiln drying process.

Genuine question: re point 5. Is this some kind of joke? Political affiliation reflects one’s level of marksmanship? That’s an absolutely wild idea.

About 65,000 tonnes of munitions were dumped on Britain during WW2 by the Luftwaffe - they did more than break a few windows with all that.

Personally I feel his hat is unnecessarily large and the ensemble doesn’t completely balance as a consequence.

There was a king called “Cnut” - English/Danish name.

On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?

I see no problem with this headline - when the narrative shifts after the next inquiry Reuters will report what that says as well… and will keep a trail of the shifting story that the IDF / Israeli government try to spin.

There’s loads of internet radio stations with no commercials… and no dj’s neither. I just Shazam the tunes I really dig and go to eBay. Discovered a tonne of good acts this way.

Queuing. Talking about the weather. Having a pint or a cup of tea at any opportunity and for any reason. Being slightly repressed/reserved. Not actually being British ( most of them identify as something else first - Cockney, Bangladeshi, Welsh, Yorkshire etc. )

The British army are/were looking into synthetic alternatives…

Have you met all of them?

I didn’t even notice I was 196-ing when I commented.

If Ada and the comm are explicitly anti-tankie I’d be neither surprised nor disappointed. Fair enough. I’m happy to browse .ml but really have no problem understanding why other corners of the fediverse / Lemmy avoid them. Not that all .ml uses are Tankies but, yeah. Blahajists have enough shit to deal with just by existing… best of luck to them all. 🫡

Lots of non-white Welsh people too.

Nice to see the word “tankie” used in its proper context; for once.

I like how you think. Why waste energy fighting your enemies when you can set them on themselves?

I swear one of my mates buys books as ornaments…

I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

Shout out to Ren whom I genuinely believe to be a generational talent - someone who has the potential to alter the course and content of popular music going forward.
