Our obsession with not electrifying the lines is beyond me. The transport cost is so much less when putting electricity through wires to a moving train compared to filling a train with massive batteries or carrying dino juice.

I can finally turn my heating down! I feel like a bag of domesticated coconut.

In my country liberal appointed judge

In France, like every other sane country, judges are not political appointees.

The Judiciary has statutory protection from the Executive. This is explained in literally the first sentence on the English-language wiki page:

Thanks, so it's cleaner rather than clean. Makes sense.

Genuine question, how is burning something considered "clean" energy?

Btw, those three tax examples would not be stopped by the manifesto commitments on not raising income tax, national insurance, or VAT.

Yes, definitely.

Sure, the crux is how long is eventually. We may need that sooner than we previously thought.

It's not as straight forward as asking permission, but you should read about Trident as a missle platform.

To say the UK has a genuinely independent nuclear deterent is not as clear cut as you'd think. But that's not the same as being absolutely beholden to the US.

That all said, we really do need to swap to the french missle system, but that will take time to retro fit the subs.

What I remind myself is that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. It's perfectly OK to say that after a long day your brain is soup and you just want to chill for the evening.

It's also fine to say that your tired, but will come out for one or two and then leave, and then do just that. Obviously if you find yourself having a better time and enjoying it you can stay out.

I find that adults respect other adults more if you are upfront about your own boundaries. You also don't need to make excuses, try to have the confidence to be straight forward and say you're tired and will skip this one, or whatever.

...but today, on International Workers' / Labour Day, what is your excuse to not join up?

Graphic by Equity, the UK Actors' Union.

 

Self-aware silly wrestling is my favourite type of wrestling, and this was the pre-show match before All Roads Lead North a few months ago.

To paraphrase a poet, you can keep your 5* classics, I just want big meaty men slapping meat, and draining cans.

 

This may be the most wholesome wrestling thing I've ever seen.

 

Get your picks in, and show how off the mark you are!

"First you steal my glorious idea to lash Cody.

Now you try to cop art from my ex.

I’m a fan.

But please Leave me be, Dewey."

 

Before the world ended, the future King of the Bums decided to pop over to a small mining town north of London to fight the resident Sick Boy, and beat the absolute shit out of each other.

This is from North's December show, and is absolutely incredible.

Do yourself a favour and watch it.
