  1. What do you expect when the owners is such a word removed? What do you expect when the prices are so low? The hospitality industry is short of staff, Weatherspoons is shorter than most, no one really likes working there It attracts certain types, serving them all day would depress the hell out of most people It's a vicious spiralling circle of shit staff / shit punters You get what you pay for
  2. peoples learning the bagpipes are bad neighbours
  3. Posted because it contains the actual batch numbers of the Indian Manufactured AZ Covid Vaccine in the thread. Typically my mate's brother breaks the story and I discover my first dose was Indian. Got planning on going to that abroadia anytime soon thankfully
  4. It' wasn't even a snapshot, that poll was a skewed guess (sample was too low) at the behest of the Daily Mail
  5. Refuse to drive him then until he develops some taste
  6. What is actually ridiculous is.... Royals
  7. Another aside of this, someone earlier in the topic was putting a lot of weight behind the Survation Poll in the middle of June that suggested a 6 point lead for the Tories and that Survation have their polling spot on Maybe we'll have that one put to bed now too
  8. Imagine the Governor General of Australia supporting New Zealand
  9. It's fair comment in the context of the position. Wales is technically a principality not a country and the Ceremonial Head of State for the Principality is the Prince of Wales, Prince William will become that person as soon as his Gran dies, it really won't go down well if he's supporting England then
  10. Did he own a Camper Van?
  11. This doesn't stand up to scrutiny, The seat has not been trending towards Labour at all, since 2001 the vote has generally been in decline apart from the 2017 outlier 2001 - 49.4% 2005 - 45.8% 2010 - 41.5% 2015 - 43.2% 2017 - 55.5% 2019 - 42.7% 2021 - 35.3% If you add the George Galloway votes to the Labour Votes you end up with a percentage higher than any of the above. In that timeframe the Labour vote has never really faced a challenge until yesterday. The Tories however have nearly always had Ukips / BNP / Yorkshire Tea Party taking decent chunks out of their side of the vote Viewing it the way you have is the way the Tories are spinning it. It isn't true
  12. Labour win by 300 odd votes, which will be described as narrow etc by the media but in reality it's a great result as their vote wasn't split last time and it was this. The Tories vote was split last time and wasn't this. Based on the last results figures and who was standing this time, Labour shouldn't have won this. But I doubt you'll see it reported that way
  13. Not really Starmer's fault that though, nor yours. We live less in a functioning democracy now than we did even last year. People aren't talking about Starmer because lots of media outlets seem to be operating on the principal that if you can't say something bad about opposition politics, it isn't worth saying
  14. Yeah you go on wanting to rule the world, meanwhile I'll just stab my scrotum with a sharp object as the sound of my own pain is more relaxing

    Ice rink

    Why have you tattooed your cat with a picture of yourself?
  16. Womens outfield footie is getting OK to watch tbh, then someone has a shot and you realise the goalkeepers havent remotely caught up with the outfield players skill levels. There are better keepers in mens pub teams aged 50 with 42 waist shorts
  17. That is great news, as is any small Indie music venue getting saved from devilopers

    Eye Floaters

    I've had them since I can remember. Like everyone else has said, you just get used to them
  19. Viewing figures would dispute this Granted it's not popular amongst the VT massive but out there in the living rooms of the UK this cack is popular
  20. I assume the employer will be paying compensation if he's been employed long enough to be entitled to it.
  21. I really don't think it was lose your job behaviour. Nothing threatening just a bit drunk, wanting a selfie and pushing personal boundaries too far. No threats, no violence Public embarrasment should be enough. They didn't really do anything that deserves such a life changing punishment The press framing the pair as "Yobs" hasn't helped either, that has totally different connotations to what was actually in that video One for the unpopular opinions topic I guess
