Doesn't have to be. As Fish said, you can get it cheaper if you avoid school holidays (English schools), so I would think you could get it cheaper in Scottish holidays. The cheapest weekend is the one after New Year which is quite a good way to avoid the trauma of early January (as there are plenty of indoor activities). Foreign holidays are another thing that have shot up in price anyway. We're simply getting poorer as a country relative to everybody else. In 5 years, we will on average be poorer than the Polish. The poor in this country are much poorer than in Poland already.

Absolutely nobody cares. No sireee. Nobody is obsessed about Mags wearing replica tops, absolutely nobody.

Bridget on C4 right now. 3000 new or expanded nurseries, using the private school tax and the cons pledges already made (and reneged on).

Might add, I'm fairly sure their pledges like 2.5% GDP for defence aren't costed at all. This may not be the best line of attack for the cunts who have given us the highest taxes since WW2 whilst also somehow managing to destroy services.

Just caught the end of a party political broadcast by the Conservative party there. Basically the whole thing seems to have been quadrupling down on their tax lie. This is almost mackem levels of obsession at this point. It did make it a bit more clear it was 2k over 4 years though. 500 quid a year (obviously less in lower tax households), or 10 quid a week, per household. Maybe a cup of coffee each. I mean, is this the best they have, really? I'm really happy for them [Labour] to meet their pledges for this amount. I read somewhere that tax has risen 13k over the period these cunts have been in since 2019!

Nothing racist about this whatsoever. PC woke gone mad.

I do that now with family and it's north of £100 even in a modest place. Had some nice eggs benedict and coffee this weekend at a local cafe, was £16. The cost of eating and drinking out is the mot noticeable thing recently I think. We've got a decent household income, but can rarely afford to eat out. Holidays are another. Feels like you are just working to survive and this will also eventually fuck your mental health.

This is true. But it is a symptom. The more important truth is the Conservatives have utterly fucked the country over. Everything is worse, everything is broken. This is now people's lived experience, every day of their lives. The Conservatives cannot bullshit themselves out of this any more, it won't work. This is the root cause of why they are fucked, doesn't matter what the ideaologies are of their usual voters.

Think you've got 6 years to act like, not sure if having a witness is necessary but you'd need to have taken a photo of the offending cable to ascertain if it was breaching H&S rules or whatever legislation applies. Not advocating you should have done anything unless it was a blatant hazard, but then again if you're paying out of pocket medical fees (let alone the pain and suffering) then maybe it would be justified (guessing the cafe would have indemnity). Anyway, hope it sorts itself out and one of the toontastic illuminati can give some sound medical advice.

Sorry to hear that, sounds horrible. Haven't got much advice, other than my understyaning is long-term physio is unlikely to be beneficial. Did you take any legal action against the cafe?

Ahh right, I didn't know they actually nested on the Baltic itself. Would seem fair enough to only permit this outside nesting season I guess. Just before the season kicks off would be better. Or preferably, as has been said, just not bother.

Reminds me of one of the very few stags I attended. One of the lad's "tricks" was to say to a buxom lass "I bet you 50p I can make your tits jiggle without touching you". When the lass said "Eeeeeh, I bet you can't" he'd reach out and with both hands and grope the poor lasses tits. Then say "You win, here's 50p". I hope one day he gets his comeuppance.

The cunts. Only strategy is to ignore the question, lie, double down on the lie, triple down on the lie etc. The sooner they go extinct the better.

I'm trying to see a pattern there but struggling.

He should just give up the politics and go straight to off field stand up. And say what you like about Trump, I have never heard Keith Starmer address this key issue, have you?

This is too funny to go unread so I have fixed it for you.

Just watched a bit of it. Couple of thoughts: The only reason I knew about it at all was because of the link to the mackem thread on here, so not exactly well advertised. It looks cheesy as fuck, glad I did not attend. I would like to see one of the drone displays however which look quite spectacular on video, but I don't think they did that? I don't get the issue with the kittiwakes*. They choose to nest on a relatively recent man made structure, below a road with thousands of vehicles passing overhead every day and above a vibrant tourist hot spot. This was at the Baltic, some 500 metres away. If they put up with all the normal chaos of the quayside, I fail to see what difference this makes. * And although technically not sea gulls, still avian cunts.

You can see how fucked off tourists get like. They arrive for a nice day out on the quayside, walk to to the millenial Bridge, look at Google maps and say: "Wait, what's this? That promotional material we got from the hotel lobby this morning implied that the Baltic was in Newcastle. But looking at this map, it actually resides in the metropolitan Borough of Gateshead! Which was once in County Durham! I'm absolutely fuming about this misrepresentation Barbara. "

They do.

Seems like a mistake. It's ironic isn't it? After our own disastrous spat of pupularist right wing politics, we look like we might steady the ship and return to the centre. Just as the rest of Europe turn right. This doesn't feel good.

It'd be fucking hilarious if after this Tricky Dicky is still voted out. He's high on my top of the cunts list.

The original tweet appears to have been deleted, so I'm not sure what it's about, but the responses are as hyperbolically insane as we've come to expect. What? Normal.

Never mind that, did you find the picnic table?

Evans/Houllier ser up.

A new low? I'm not sure how real this is some people on the thread say they have seen it in rl, but surely not?
