It’s not the most user friendly option, I agree, but definitely refillable.

I’ve never seen a “disposable” lighter that didn’t have a gas filling hole.

Are you going to apply the same rules to pedal assist bikes? Or are you planning to single out e-scooters only, like tfl did for some reason?

Acoustic bikes? What kind of witchery is that? Do you sing to unlock them or do they play music while you ride?

Technically correct, but your comment makes it sound like the military is actively commissioning movies, which is not the case. When Hollywood wants to make historical or war movies, they have few options:
- Buy the equipment - one military ship or airplane can be more than the whole movie’s budget.
- Prop/CGI - may look bad and doesn’t guaranty to be cheaper.
- Get all the gear for free, loaned out from the military (including training and specialists) - but they get to edit and approve your script.
I wish there were more options for independent and critical movie makers.
- Comment on Which IELTS exam is necessary for work visa in UK? 4 months ago:
You need the IELTS UKVI (general) test which is provided by the British Council specifically. It’s the same exam, but stricter facilities. The ‘normal’ test won’t be accepted by the Home Office.
- Comment on Reform UK pulls to within two points of Tories in latest YouGov poll 5 months ago:
I don’t know if it’s your reading comprehension or you’re just confused, but I urge you to re-read my comments - I’m not trying to convince you of anything, you clearly made your decision and it doesn’t seem to be based on any empirical evidence.
You made some bold claims though and I’m here to challenge you on those.
- You claim to be a “leftie”.
- You voted remain.
- You want to reform FPTP and immigration.
- Apparently reform are the only ones to hit all the boxes.
So my answer is this… If you vote Reform, you’re not a leftie. If you vote Farage, you’re not a Remainer either. There are other parties who want to reform voting and immigration with better track record, actual councillors and more humane policies.

Why would I vote for libdem? Because they want to get rid of FPTP and fix immigration, your main two important issues. But it seems like you’re adding extra steps now…
Anyways, reading your other comments here, you’ve confirmed what others already suspected - you don’t really want to fix the root issues of immigration, you’re just a xenophob.

If those are your main issues, how are they any different from greens or libdems?
- Comment on Reform UK pulls to within two points of Tories in latest YouGov poll 5 months ago:
Assuming you’re not trolling. Can you please expand on what good points do you think they offer?
