- Comment on Drivers ignoring roadwork closures to skip queues ‘wilfully putting lives at risk’ 1 week ago:
There were roadworks on the road near my house.
For a week, there was nothing there except traffic lights and cones. No holes. No workers. No work
The contractors were late starting and nobody bothered turning the lights off resulting in mile long tailbacks on one of the only roads in and out of our town.
This happened twice.
Maybe, just maybe local councils need to start holding road work contractors to account for the pointless delays they cause.
- Comment on Why weren't telephone lines and electrical lines not buried under ground? Which would have saved a bunch of money from upkeep and accidents? 2 weeks ago:
They are in lots of places. Most British villages/towns/cities all utilities are now underground. Its quite rare to see low voltage powerless now
- Comment on GOD TAKING DOLLY AND LEAVING TRUMP SHOWS THAT HEAVEN HAS STANDARDS AND HELL HAS A WAITING LIST 4 weeks ago:
He took the wrong 80 year old blonde who likes kids
- Comment on Are US cops (or sheriffs) able to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction? 4 weeks ago:
In the UK anybody can make a citizen’s arrest if it isn’t reasonably practicable for a constable to do so.
However it can only be for a crime that is indictable (can be tried at a crown court). So things like significant theft, burglary and assault.
A US cop has no additional rights to enforce the law than anyone else.

Just felt like you were
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 5 weeks ago:
Yes. I agree. I’m not sure why you’re arguing with me about it
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 5 weeks ago:
I’m not saying it is. Just that you can’t please anybody it seems
- Comment on This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits 5 weeks ago:
100% guarantee that if she did have armpit hair some other sad bastard would be making a post commenting on it
- Comment on How come Pornstars don't teach Master Classes? So the average joe or joness can improve relationships and get better orgasms. Who would be better than pornstars? 5 weeks ago:
I like to think so, in all seriousness it was quite useful. Really emphasised importance of foreplay and safe sex (including how to use a condom) which when the time came as a teenager was invaluable.

If you’re a Xennial its easy. Go back in time and search through your dad’s wardrobe. That’s how I watched it.

You mean New York cops aren’t taught to crawl through air vents or how to abseil onto ships from a bridge?
- Comment on Trans Pride Brighton secures £121,278 grant to safeguard community centre for next five years 5 weeks ago:
So if a building can do it for £24,000 a year, why did Farage need £5m?
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 5 weeks ago:
You must have been reading different articles then because it all seemed to be about him.
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 1 month ago:
I’ll defer to your knowledge on the matter, as one of the 99% who had no real idea he existed I’m not going to pretend I know more about what was happening.
But as a lay-person, I believe the matter deserved investigation and scrutiny from the University and exam boards. Not a trial by media
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 1 month ago:
I suspect 99% of people have never heard of him outside of academia.
At the end of the day he was just a university professor. He didn’t deserve what he got.
Rapists get better protection from the media.
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 1 month ago:
A private citizen hounded to death by the media.
If it could happen to him it could happen to any of us
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
People saying “woke” to describe things they don’t like is brilliant.
It means you know immediately whether or not someone is a moron and so makes it easy to avoid them
- Comment on Welsh Man Arrested After Standing on a Hospital Roof Dressed as the Grim Reaper 1 month ago:
He was arrested for causing a disturbance. You’d be arrested for the same thing if you acted like a dickhead at a school or in a police station.
I suspect he was probably asked to stop by hospital staff and he refused, hence the fine

This is just so fucking stupid.
MAGATS will love it if it means they don’t need to pay for woke teachers.
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing? 2 months ago:
I think they might be wildly different storylines. I think theres a brief moment in the wizard of Oz where Dorothy is captured by the wicked witch but I wouldn’t call it the prison story.
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing? 2 months ago:
I was talking about the film lol
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing? 2 months ago:
Its a flying monkey from Oz

Good. So no data centres.
- Comment on China ‘strongly dissatisfied’ with nationalisation of British Steel 2 months ago:
Well we just give them what they say its worth - zero. The value of a bankrupt company that we were bankrolling anyway.

I will never understand why people get so het up over this game.
But then wife beaters don’t really need an excuse
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 months ago:
The question is, why.
- Comment on With Tech growing so fast the humans can barely keep up. Is there a so called "paper trail" for things? Like in medical stuff. Or other things so you can track it back to a single person. 2 months ago:
Being able to log/audit/restore and rollback is a requirement for any system that hopes to gain ISO27001 certification and all the systems I work with in my field have that ability.
The paper trail on our safeguarding systems are significantly more robust than the old paper based alternatives.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 months ago:
I’m convinced that Americans are just inherently more violent/aggressive when compared to the citizens of any other developed nation.
Even without guns, their murder and violence rates surpass the UK/Aus/NZ/Canada (so all the anglo-nations) and all of Western, Northern and most of Central and Eastern Europe.
- Comment on 2026 UK heatwave estimated to have killed more than 2,700 people 2 months ago:
Same age range as the boomers who keep reminding us “bUt iT wAs hOt iN 1976”.
Yes, we know. It was hot, for a couple of weeks. Once.
