Well, we are lucky here in that unless you live in a real rural area, most of the time you can get rid of your car and live just fine. I walk everywhere, sold my car a year ago and never looked back. Everywhere here, at least south coast, is walkable for pedestrians. All grocery stores do home delivery. Trains are going through strike action constantly it seems, but they do exist and work fine most of the time, bus network is actually good in my area.

I have an almost unbroken pedestrian walk for a full 20 miles stretch - and that’s just walking past the main towns, not including time in them. And these towns contain buildings from the 1500s - didn’t have cars back then, and a load of the old town layouts are still present in my area. No cars were around back then, and they’re just as walkable now.

Not like America where jaywalking exists and you literally can’t walk anywhere in car-centric places

Edit: didn’t even mention the other thing we have here - bike hire, everywhere. I can bring up the app on my phone and see where the nearest bike/electric bike/electric scooter is, walk there, tap its panel with my phone to unlock and off I go. I do that when I’m being lazy. I’ve just checked and there are six bikes available down my road in the nearest bay.

When the older generation who steadily support them through everything finally die off.

He isn’t.

Anecdotally, EVERY Tory voter I know in my life has now switched or given up. That is my parents, family, close friends, and my friend’s dad who used to be head of a large conservative council here in the UK in the 90s.

Actually, he’s not voting at all. He’s abstaining with the view of 'theyre all the same now". Which makes no sense, but it’s better than a Tory vote in my mind.

My other grandparents are, oddly enough, labour voters despite being even richer, and even donators from what I last heard. It’s a weird place to be in, between both extremes.

He needs to get in.

I’m still dismayed by the ref result, but he needs to get in first and then enact change. This is gonna take time, and it sucks.

Aw fuck

Please stay away from Nintendo.

My grandad is a hardcore Tory. There’s no changing the guy, he’s 83 and stuck in his ways - and ridiculously rich.

However - he did say one thing this week, which is he disagrees with this policy change. He has no idea why we are now moving backwards when everyone else is moving forwards. I mean, it’s not a unique issue when it comes to the Tories but cars is finally one he can understand on a personal level

I have a medical licence for 21% THC cannabis flower (to grind and vape) from Sapphire/curaleaf. It’s, without exaggeration, saved my life. Healthier than ever before, and it’s even completely eliminated my need for any other medication and id also credit it with my giving up alcohol fully.

I can actually live a normal life now. It’s cruel to have it illegal when the killer that is alcohol is everywhere.

Life of Brian isn’t uncommonly known by anyone, it’s still widely regarded as the greatest comedy movie ever made. That’s no small feat after 50+ years, considering it is just as brilliant now as it was then.

If you want more uncommonly known Python, go for Meaning of Life (out of the three main films it’s the odd one out).

Yep and then once more familiar with Chris Morris it’s time to watch JAM. Still the weirdest, most unsettling yet hilarious series I have ever watched.

And what about bottles of alcohol, toiletries and meat to be sold at the local pub?

Well yes, of course they couldn’t do anything. I used to run a large convenience store before leaving retail for good around 15 years ago - I know the score. But it didn’t stop ruining their day, and making them feel helpless.

The issue is the knock on effects. One of my staff members back then had her ribs broken in one shoplifting attack, and that was unprovoked. Police never caught the guy.

I was actually in my local co op last week (edit - time flies, no, it was a few weeks back now!) When a group rushed in, literally ransacked the place - openly filling up their bags, then brazenly quickly walked out. Absolute cunts.

Staff couldn’t do anything. Said it’s happened numerous times before. In this case it was a lot who were parked up on the local field before being evicted and moved on.

Even if they leave, they still have to pay a percentage of their earnings to the US government in taxes each year. Regardless of the country they’re in, or if they ever plan on returning.

Only way out is to rescind citizenship I think

Holy fuck lol

“how it was reared”

You lost me there. These are breeds with an inherent nature to kill and maim. They’re freaks, mutants, and now thankfully to be banned.

Nah mate, these dogs are fucking disgusting freaks. I’ve been chased by one before - quite frankly, I don’t give a fuck what your research says.
