I had previously unquestioningly assumed that people with bookcases like the one pictured had vast or at least better than average general knowledge, but I've since learnt some of them have the kind of knowledge gaps you'd expect from a council estate kid who stopped attending school at 13. Maybe that's what happens if you engross yourself in fiction.

>>19656
I wasn't aware that supermarkets lent you food and reserved the right to come into your home and take it away from you for any reason.

>>19657
A lot of people have bookcases for aesthetic purposes. I'd wager that I haven't read even half of what are on mine, but that's because I buy them faster than I can read them.

Traktor is the industry-standard DJ software. You can download the previous version (Traktor 2) for free. The Traktor Kontrol S2 is probably the best affordable DJ controller at £219; it has all the essential controls you need, a built-in audio interface and a free license for Traktor 3. if that's too rich for your blood, you can get a basic two-deck controller for under £100. You don't need a controller to just try out the software, but mixing without one is a massive pain in the arse. There are a gazillion tutorials on YouTube.

You'll also need some tunes; if you don't want to be a dirty pirate, Beatport is probably the best place to start building a collection.

I remember hearing a radio interview once where they interviewed one of those women who do phone sex for pay. And she said one time, an older chap called her and asked her if she could help him figure out how to wank himself off. This was before the Internet, or at least before the elderly warmed up to it.

Anyway, apparently the chap said that his wife had died a while ago, and that she was the only person he was ever intimate with since they got married in their teenage years.

The poor lad was so dependent on his late wife that he never even learned to properly wank himself off.

>>428709
That sex must have been mind-blowing.

>>428721
That or she forbade him from doing it.

>>428722
If a man wants to wank, a man wanks. There are chaps climbing the Machu Picchu trail who are doing it and there are ten years plus Gitmo detainees indulging as well.

It doesn't seem to cache much more than a still image of the webpage, as whenever you go to an old tab it needs to refresh the page anyway.

>>7636
You haven't read the case, have you?

>>7637
Yes. Rangers employees had their remuneration paid into a trust, which they'd loan back to themselves in the place of income subject to PAYE. The judgement is of the view that the loan payments were really emoluments; although inheritance tax was mentioned I do not see a specific judgement in relation to this.

Furthermore, as pointed out several times, paying money yourself (or having your earnings diverted) into a trust and borrowing that money back to get around income tax is not the same as borrowing money from a trust that you are not the settlor of. Borrowing your own money back and borrowing money that came from someone else are two very different things.

>>7638
>Borrowing your own money back and borrowing money that came from someone else are two very different things.
In theory perhaps. Not so much in practice, which is what the judgment is getting at. The paper structure goes out the window, and what matters is the net effect in the real world. In one case, someone has money they were intended to receive put in a trust and "borrows" it with no expectation of paying it back, and in the other, someone has money they were intended to receive put in a trust and "borrows" it with no expectation of paying it back.

>>7639
>someone has money they were intended to receive put in a trust and "borrows" it with no expectation of paying it back.

Except for the will saying that the money was to be put into trust rather than going directly to them, that is.

>>7640
Ah, yes, the will, which was changed after their death by the beneficiary in order to say the money was to be put into a trust. This is functionally no different from the creation of the EBT. It's just a subtly different set of legal fictions to cover up the same reality.

>>428361
"They were" as opposed to "he/she was" has always seemed sinisterly final to me as if you're referring to the subject in an obituary.

You say that as if you didn't just use Limmy's obituary joke anyway. I assumed this person actually was dead.

>>428362

One thing that really puts me off is the incessant churning out of ever-new vocabulary and pseudo definitions among those types. So now it's gatekeeping, in the past it has been anything from microaggression to cultural appropriation. All of them not necessarily invalid concepts (except for microaggression, which is a fucking joke commonly perpetuated by people who can't deal with even the most mild baseline harshness of everyday life), but certainly words that were overused to death and lost much of their meaning in the process because everybody would just shout them at this, that, and the other.

Still can't find the "now he gets it" sketch from Limmy's Show on YouTube anymore, so annoyed it got taken down.

Sage for not really caring about this thread.

>>428348
Yet again reminds me of that chapter about Randy, his then-girlfriend and their 'friends' in Cryptonomicon.
Especially the part when they broke up.

>>40782

I googled "child Anne Widdecombe" and this came up.

>>40774>>40772
Just checking we're all on the same page, does that face just scream "mental illness" ?

>>40799

The face is the only part of her body that doesn't to me.

>>28740

I'm not complaining at all, I'm using it solely in retort to someone accusing me of not understanding because their pain and sadness is greater than mine. I really don't care how you feel about it or 'get' it because it doesn't matter. What I care about is the wallowing OP et al. about how people can't get them, when there is really no need to.

>>28738

People who actually don't resent people don't feel like saying "your dad was a fucking orthopedic surgeon". You clearly do resent her, it is kind of like the way no one who isn't a racist saw the harm in Danny Bakers royal baby tweet your thought pattern betrays you in that that even occurs to you to matter. You have arrested development, either realize it doesn't matter and move past it and adapt to your new culture, or stop dating uptown girls and go back to your industrial town and have a honest sneer.

>>28745
>You have arrested development, either realize it doesn't matter and move past it and adapt to your new culture, or stop dating uptown girls and go back to your industrial town and have a honest sneer.

This is a false dichotomy. It's going to matter because it's a part of me -- you're telling me that my choices are either to never bring it up or go back to my hole and 'sneer' about it. Is it not possible to talk about the first twenty-odd years of my life without making others uncomfortable?

>People who actually don't resent people don't feel like saying "your dad was a fucking orthopedic surgeon".

This is /emo/ and I was venting. I'd never actually say this to her, because I know it would come across that way. What I'm expressing here is that I want her to acknowledge that her life experiences aren't like mine, that there is a world of shit that is invisible to her because she had protections; not that she should feel bad for having a bit of cash and a stable upbringing, and definitely not that it somehow lessens her achievements. Just getting her to acknowledge other life experiences exist would be a start.

>>28741
>>28743

Again, I know having a dad with a decently prestigious professional job doesn't make you 'landed gentry' or a member of the elite. It doesn't fully protect your kid from bullying, or a relative getting cancer, or you getting sick, or any of life's other general hardships. It's just that all of those things can and do happen to people who have fuck all, too -- and it's more likely to bring about additional difficulties for that reason.

And again, to repeat myself, I don't want a pity party about how hard I've had it up until now. I just don't like feeling alienated and alone as a result of my success.

>>28748
You seem to really, really want to talk to people about your formative years. That's not very middle class. It's done, survived it. Got buggered senseless at Gordonstoun or one of the minors, played a bit of rugby. Here we are.
It's possible the reason that people seem uncomfortable talking about it is that they'd be slightly uncomfortable with anyone, and your non-pattern-fitting tale is only adding 10% or so.

>>28748
>This is /emo/ and I was venting. I'd never actually say this to her, because I know it would come across that way.

But that's exactly the point it occurred to you. If someone pisses me off I don't immediately think "bloody laplander/coon/chink/white people" because I don't consider race a defining factor, but to you, the job of the person who spunked inside the person who crapped you out is a defining factor. Whether you suppress it or not, you have the thought pattern of a class snob.

>This is a false dichotomy

Well lets look at your options
1. get someone to understand the pain and sadness they have no frame of reference of.
2. stop treating it as something you need.
3. find someone who satisfies that need.

You've tried nothing but 1, and it hasn't worked, your options are to accept that (2) or find someone who treats you how you want to be treated (3) or to keep doing 1 even though it hasn't done anything so far, and will probably damage the relationship.

Ah, hang on. You're feeling all middle class, alienated and alone?

Not sure what you were expecting, but reforming the entire middle class into an over-sharing episode of Are Jezza might take a while. No fucker talks to anyone except when so hogwhimperingly drunk that it'll be forgotten in the morning.

My mum always sings it as "autoglass repair, autoglass replacement". Now when I hear the proper jingle it doesn't sound right and I have to add "-ment" in my head in order to finish it off.

I love the fact that they obviously couldn't find a real pothole anywhere, so they dug a nice and square one just to film that.

I don't know how important to biodiversity flying ants are* and I'm not going to ask you to do anything in particular other than please consider the fact that you're just making the place hostile to life while you're doing it.


*I bet they're good food for the birds at least.

Honestly don't think I've ever had a problem with loads of flying ants. Do you lads live in the Bible? Is Beeston in Ancient Egypt?

>>428680

Bugger the ants if it means my parents' driveway has to go on being wonky.

But seriously, there's enough of them everywhere else in the back garden already. I don't think it's going to put any kind of dent into their survival as a species or the biodiversity on my parents' property if I repave around 1000 square feet of brick and make it ant proof. And by waiting until after they've flown out, it should ensure that they had the opportunity to go on starting more colonies elsewhere. So they can do without the few nests that happen to be under those bricks.

As it is, my parents' back garden is home to nearly a dozen bird species that my mum has counted, as well as lush grass areas where weeds are free to grow, and all manner of trees and bushes. It's really a well-kept jungle. There's even a pair of song thrush nesting in that one apple tree, which, although they're not an endangered species as such, is somewhat rare these days.

So again, bugger the ants under those bricks.

>>428682

Yeah, if they're making themselves at home in "unnatural" places (human-built places) then odds are there are more of them than there would be in a natural environment.
Still, good to keep it in mind.

>>428679

>Anybody know if I can just fill up the sunken-in patches with playground sand as I repave the areas?

You really want grit sand, which has a coarse texture that provides good stability and drainage. Playground sand is likely to have a finer texture, which could present problems down the line with subsidence or poor drainage. A 25kg bag of grit sand should cost about £2-£3 from your local builder's merchant; coarse sharp sand will do the job, but building sand is too fine. You'll also need some jointing sand for brushing into the gaps in the laid paviors, which is a) kiln dried so it flows easily and b) has very high friction to lock the paviors together. This is a bit more pricey at £4-£6 a bag, but it's worth the extra.

>>22964
>I've tried making some kind of automated steak farm where I lead the cows into a water current that leads to lava-hopper-chest combo but is there any way I could, say, have a minecart chest instead and have it bring the chest and its contents to my storage?

>>22971

>>22964
Are Ender Chests vanilla MC? If so, that might be your solution.

>>22964

There is, but you'll need to use a hopper minecart. That can collect the beef and deliver it, maybe run it off a Redstone clock so it delivers periodically.

WHY
If you're going to do this please don't do it anywhere near spawn

One of the key points of an embassy is that people can tell the candid truth about what the government there is like. The problem here isn't that he said anything wrong, he didn't he told the truth as he sees it, which is the whole point of his job. The problem is that Trump is the kind of petty fuck who wouldn't allow him to do his job properly after this.

>>19642
But the problem isn't just Trump, the problem is the servile Tories who were making exclaimations in the glory of Trump. This could have been an unfortunate incident, but instead it has become a tragedy. One that announces to the world that the UK is this easily bullied and browbeaten, and for doing nothing more than telling the truth, a truth evident to anyone who's looked at a headline or two in past three years.

I never hated the Tories before this year, I never liked them much either but there we have it. However, they have made every attempt available to them in 2019 to undermine, shame and hobble the United Kingdom, and not for any misguided ideological reasons, but out of sheer arrogance and self-interest. If I read a headline that every single one of their MPs had collapsed dead in parliament I don't think I'd even bother reading the article, I'd just knod in acknowledgement and move on.

>>19643

Goodnight, Sweet Prince.

A&Es could close or be forced to operate without enough staff because of pension rules, doctors have warned.

Experienced consultants are cutting their hours or refusing extra shifts to avoid an effective 100 per cent tax rate brought in by complex changes to pension taxation. The issue is exacerbating workforce problems in the NHS and is likely to hit patient care, experts have warned.

Under rules introduced in 2015, anyone earning more than £150,000 begins to see a reduction in the £40,000 that can go into a pension tax free each year. It tapers down to £10,000 for those earning £210,000 or more.

Breaking the limit triggers a penalty tax rate. However, while high earners in the private sector are able to adjust their pension contributions, the way NHS pensions are structured means health service staff cannot. Their tax bills are based on factors including the calculated increase in pension pot value, rather than simply earnings, meaning that all NHS staff earning over £110,000 — a third of consultants — are potentially affected. Doctors report receiving huge unexpected tax bills after they have worked extra shifts or received a small salary increase, often based on good performance, which effectively means they have worked for nothing or even paid to work.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/doctors-pay-to-work-after-change-in-pension-tax-rule-pjk76kbsk

It's almost as if the government should stop tinkering with pensions and leave them alone.

>>7501
>Waiting lists for routine surgery have risen by up to 50% in England because senior doctors say they cannot afford to work extra shifts.

>Consultants have begun refusing to work beyond their planned hours after receiving unexpected tax bills, following new pension rules in 2016.

>NHS hospitals said delays are becoming increasingly routine as a result. The Department of Health said it aimed to solve the problem with more flexible pensions.

>Consultants who earn more than £110,000 a year faced new limits on how much they could contribute to their pension from 2016. Complex rules mean the charges can be unpredictable if they go over the allowance. But those near the threshold have have few options to avoid the impact, other than reducing their hours, quitting the NHS pension scheme or taking early retirement.

>>7609
>>7501

I don't know why they are focussing the coverage of this on consultants. It's much harder to sympathise with people who earn so much.

It's affecting bread and butter doctors and nurses much more considerably, because they don't earn so much in the first place.

I park in the "reserved for on call consultant" space at the hospital I work at, because fuck the consultant, he earns enough he can pay for a bloody parking ticket.

>>7616
If he's on call doesn't that mean he'll only be there in case of emergencies?

>>7616
>It's affecting bread and butter doctors and nurses much more considerably

As above:

Under rules introduced in 2015, anyone earning more than £150,000 begins to see a reduction in the £40,000 that can go into a pension tax free each year. It tapers down to £10,000 for those earning £210,000 or more.

The way scheme like the NHS one operates means you won't know if you've breached the annual allowance until well after the tax year has ended, at which point you can either pay the tax bill out of your own pocket or have it knocked off your pension at very punitive rates; a consultant working 24 hours per week would end up retiring on a higher pension than a consultant working 48 hours per week.

>>19617
Huh, this tallies with my personal experience. Rich Indians I've met living in north London are well-spoken, while laplanderstanis I've met, well, everywhere have broken English.

>>19616

Although >>19617 is a good post they have left out several key events as motivators.

1) The largest migration of black immigrants to the country was from the "Windrush generation" which is where we purposely incentivized for manual laborer to come over from the Caribbean.

2)A large number of Indian Migrants were linked to the British Raj in some way so bureaucrats, various people related to the state. And those who had some level of existing integration with the British rulling class.

3)A large number of Chinese immigrants came over when Mao started culling the intelligentsia and bureaucracy.

>>19631
We also had another wave of Chinese immigration around the handover of Hong Kong. Again it was mainly the liberal intelligentsia who saw the writing on the wall. The reason the elite classes in Hong Kong are now pro-Beijing is that they've effectively been hollowed out, which in turn has made it easier for the CPC to rig the system. The legislature is like the Lords and Commons rolled into one, with a mixture of elected and appointed members. The pro-Beijing faction has never won an electoral mandate, and has instead been able to maintain a majority by manipulating the numbers and packing the benches with appointees.

I'm not surprised. £2.50 I paid last night for prawn crackers.

>>19631
I feel the need to add to your points that Bangladeshi and laplanderstani immigrants also tended to migrate towards the industrial centres of Britain. The result is they were hit especially hard by de-industrialisation and the effect continues as ethnic groups tend toward lumping together.

Obviously the solution is to breakup ethnic enclaves and probably let in more Asians as they're an okay sort.

>>19640

We do need to have a word about this.

Your average generic curry house/shit kebabs/shit pizza takeaway offers free delivery over £10. All the Chinese takeaways round here want £3 for delivery no matter what. And that's after they're done charging you £6-7 per dish for a generic stir fry in various different sauces.

They're robbing fucking bastards.
