The absolute disrespect to Doggerland SMH

Not all heroes wear capes 🙌

I need to look that one up! My favourite 'I've done this just because I can' was using the deck to run an emulator (DS I think), then connecting a PSP as a controller/second screen and playing through that. Utterly pointless, but brilliant!

Look, I'm sorry, I was on the brew last night, I now realise that I shouldn't be spouting off with shit like that

Did you apply *common sense in the your choice making?

*not common

Are you saying the users of the sub aren't? Many times I've seen people pass over Clydebank as the place to be. The only rational explanation is a grand conspiracy of paid agents. Or Lizardmen. One of those. Absolutely.

If only there were websites dedicated to ranking and rating hotels and... wait for this... attractions too. You could go nuts and have an easy to use star system for clarity as well.

There are very few things you can't do on a steam deck. Things an absolute beast.

Used to work in a maritime museum and even we didn't know for sure. Definition there was that a boat could be carried on a ship, but a ship couldn't be carried on a boat. Makes perfect sense!

"Ground 'em up, mixed 'em into a gel. And guess what? Ground-up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill."

Oh man, to Youtube!

Dunno, had the good fortune to work/volunteer at both (seriously, the actual odds), and although my office view at Stirling was fucking stunning, one of the few things I miss is the view up that hill

Ha, small world! Can't promise you many cathedrals like Lincoln's up here (who can tbf) but the water is undoubtedly better than the goose shit green you get in Hartsholme lake 😂

Don't think there's anything wrong with doing that. Found it really useful to try and work out who might be buying your place: what's their deposit and mortgage payments going to be? Does that seem even remotely reasonable, or could you afford to either wait it out for better buyer rates, or accept a lower offer to move whilst the place you want is still going.

No bother! Where abouts in the Midlands are you coming from? I'm from Lincoln by way of Nottingham and York and even with those (mostly) pleasant experiences I won't be going back to England - people aren't kidding, this place hits different.

Bit of a grey area. Depends on sellers circumstances ultimately. Mortgage lenders will only allow you to borrow to the home report value so you can't go trigger happy, and home reports can be ridiculously arbitrary and varied depending on who's doing the survey. I sold recently and a house half a dozen up the street with same bedrooms, an extra bathroom and a brand new kitchen had the same home report value as me. Makes very little sense!

Genuinely astounded that I've never seen more of the knock on impact of HS2 mooted as a boon. More passengers on the route should theoretically mean fewer passenger trains on the WCML and more room for either regional stoppers or freight

Also the net impact of increased property values in connected cities. Not a tangible benefit to the average pocket, I'd grant you, but still a decent economic boost.

The OOC proposal isn't actually that mad... if they follow through with a massive commercial development area ala La Defense (Narrator: they didn't). The Japanese did it when they built the original Shinkansen, and now those stations are essentially secondary city centres in their own right.

You're probably aware already, but advertised house prices in Scotland are usually offers over - that is to say in a strong market you'd be looking to offer and pay at least that price, and sometimes a fair whack more. At the moment, with the market down, you might be able to go five or ten k below on 200k houses and still get them, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Edit: also worth using this: https://simd.scot/#/simd2020/BTTTFTT/9/-4.0000/55.9000/

Long story short, simd is an base line assessment of an area based on a whole range of things, but it'll give you a good general indication of if a chosen area is a cess pit or full of snobby cunts.

But wouldn't that make you a wizard or sorcerer?

'Never ask a man where he's from. If he's from Yorkshire, he'll tell you. If he isn't, well, you shouldn't shame him publicly like that.'

By allegation you mean a single edit of a public wiki which has now been taken down, which has been used as a base for a few Ai generated pages? Usually no real information is a pretty big clue that, ya know, it's not actually a thing.

If it was anything like that he wouldn't have had a that send off in a FB post, and the episodes with him in wouldn't be getting reairred/be on iplayer.

They did. But bombers were far more reliable. And numerous. And less likely to be attacked on the ground themselves.

Lots of people having a moment when they realise how small most of Europe is by comparison to NA (in particular)

They're not the famous white cliffs of Jersey??
