- Comment on Met Police chief gives phone firms deadline over thefts 5 days ago:
Kill switches for stolen phones means kill switches for all phones.
Who is in control of the kill switch?
Given that people store banking stuff, train tickets etc on their phones, it means you can be left penniless and stranded if the phone suddenly stopped working.
- Comment on Tesla wins licence to supply electricity in Britain 5 days ago:
As long as humanly possible, they’re not getting a penny out of me.
I say “as long as humanly possible”, because they have the money to supply electricity at a loss for several years, to undercut and then buy out all the other energy suppliers… but I’m hopeful that won’t happen.
- Comment on Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question 6 days ago:
There’s a chance that someone once uploaded a picture of some boobs on it or something, so to “protect the children”, our beloved glorious leaders have blocked us from a bug chunk of the internet.
- Comment on Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question 6 days ago:
20/24 (83%), native Briton.
Some of those questions are stupid though, on terms of day to day knowledge on Britain.
If it was actually going to be useful, it would include things about:
- Letting someone go in front of you in the shop queue if they’ve only got a few things and you’ve got a basket full.
- Which football teams are “scum” according to supporters of other football teams
- Which one of PJ & Duncan is PJ and which one is Duncan? (Also known as Ant and Dec)
- How to apologise for things, even even they’re not your fault
- Why Piers Morgan is a twat
- What things you can have a “cheeky” one of i.e. pints, Greggses, sausage rolls, Nandoses, and girls (if you’re MP Lembit Opik).

Oh fuck off with your fucking IDs again and stop pretending they’re for anything except oppression and surveillance.

I read it, but I’m going to try and forget it as soon as possible.
- Comment on Meet the community group taking on 'absentee landlords' to put empty building in hands of artists 1 week ago:
Sounds like a great project. I wish there was something similar running in every city centre. Our city centre is full of empty building being hoarded by “property investment companies”.

Those ghosts that have been following me about and harassing me?
Going to eat the haunty little bastards.

Yeah. That old lady spending £3000 a month on gems for “Royal Candy Blaster Treasure Blitz Origins” is the gaming industry now. :(
- Comment on Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges 3 weeks ago:
I think the news media needs to stop pretending he’s still (or ever was?) a comedian.
- Comment on Would you reboot the router for a Scooby Snack? 3 weeks ago:
There’s a sort of white rectangular bag behind him. To the right of it is a large penile object on a string.

Yeah, I was being silly :)

Jeffrey Combs the actor.
- Comment on NHS waiting list at lowest level in three years 4 weeks ago:
That sounds awesome, but I think it’s a bit of a postcode lottery for this stuff - and some of it varies from GP to GP in the same area. Ours got rid of their useful online booking system and most of their website to revert back to “phone along with everyone else at any time between 08:00 and 08:01”.

- Comment on Home renovations 4 weeks ago:
Excellent answer.
I suspected the same, but metrically.
- Comment on Home renovations 4 weeks ago:
Technically true.

How thin would your floors and ceilings need to be for this to be real?
- Comment on Another Biscuit Island Banger 4 weeks ago:
Surprisingly, there is actually a wiki page on the matter:
Wikipedia.org - Taking the Piss
Roughly covers the following:
1- mocking someone
- making a joke at someone’s expense
2
- saying/doing something unbelievable
- doing something unfair
- taking more than your fair share
“Are you taking the piss?” is pretty similar to “You’ve got to be joking, mate!” or “are you fucking kidding me!?!”
- Comment on "It's going to be a very long goodbye" - Peter Molyneux's last game will be Masters of Albion, but that's not necessarily as simple as it sounds 4 weeks ago:
He genuinely did some quality stuff in the 1980s and 1990s. Populous (1989) and Powermonger (1990) were genre-defining, and in their era, were amongst the best games available on the Atari ST/Amiga.
He seemed to have a run of innovative classics - Theme Park and Dungeon Keeper were quality…
…and then at some point he just started promising things he couldn’t deliver. Black and White still turned out pretty good, despite the broken promises…
… then in the last handful of years, he’s worked hard to destroy his previous reputation by churning out overhyped shit.
- Comment on Former Daily Mail editor tells hacking trial allegations are 'preposterous' 4 weeks ago:
“Dacre admitted wanting to clear his name, but also said he cared about the “honest and dedicated” staff at the paper.”
Honest staff at the Daily Mail? Must mean the office cleaners.
- Comment on Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK 4 weeks ago:
Yet we can still buy “Milk of Magnesia” for poorly tummies.
- Comment on bit rude, innit? 5 weeks ago:
It depends on where you live, but generally you leave stuff out the front if you want to get rid of it (fridges, freezers, ovens, mattresses, sofas etc) - either officially, by arranging a “bulky goods” collection from the council, or waiting for someone who wants/needs it to take it. Large appliances generally get picked up by “rag and bone” men who weigh the metal in for scrap.
Remember that a large chunk of urban population don’t drive at all, and the majority that do drive small vehicles for short journeys - so not many people can take stuff like that to a recycling centre themselves.
- Comment on bit rude, innit? 5 weeks ago:
I think you’re overestimating the amount of nice, sunny days available in British weather :)
