There was somebody else who works at the company I work at with the same name as me. I will often see my boss typing a message and it goes on for a very long time and then suddenly stops, that’s when I realise that right at the last minute she’s realised she’s messaging the wrong person.

I cannot say I find the experience overly distressing.

So it’s just an amp version of the gov.uk website? I assume so because after reading the article I’m no clearer on what the point of this app is actually supposed to be. Apparently I can customise it, a feature that I’ve got to be honest I’ve never felt was missing from the website.

I actually think the gov.uk website is really quite good. Certainly a lot easier than it used to be with all of the services and departments having their own website, I’ve never really felt an app is necessary.

I think that might be the most Florida thing anyone has ever said.

I don’t think I have ever seen a taxi driver operate their vehicle for more than about 60 seconds without committing a driving violation.

It’s like they think that it’s their job to drive stupidly. But the absolute worst is the way they park, they just stop the car in the middle of the damn road. But it’s all right because they’ve turned on their hazards.

such as a quick look at the sat nav, neglecting to signal, or any short-lived distraction – might result in prosecution and a driving disqualification.

I hate people that don’t indicate. Especially on roundabouts because now I have to wait for them to decide what they’re doing. How hard is it to flick a switch?

Anyway I already thought these things were driving violations, I don’t understand what’s different are they just now enforcing the rule?

Outdoor ones typically get made of material that doesn’t rust. But if it’s going to be inside they might as well make them out of nicer materials.

I’m pretty sure that most outdoor water fountains I’ve ever seen are actually made of concrete.

You get filters? I’m pretty sure ours is just from the main water supply I don’t think it goes to any filtering.

We had one of those at work. Sadly my campaign to have it stocked with vodka failed.

I still maintain it would have had a negligible effect on the quality of work. The boxes wouldn’t have been stacked as straight but other than that

It does explain the tendency of drivers in North Yorkshire to drive around tiny country lanes at 50 miles an hour.

Well no they discourage fast driving, and discouraging fast driving means there are less fast drivers, and therefore accidents are less likely.

I don’t understand why people feel the need to drive fast anyway, it hardly has any effect on your arrival time unless you’re travelling literally 200 yd.

If you’re going to drive at 40 in a 20 then frankly I have no sympathy, you’re an asshole and you deserve to be taken to the cleaners.

The combat vest is because they really really want someone to take a shot at them because that way they can actually be the victim they envision themselves as.

If she just wandered around on the street not wearing anything no one would know who she was and would totally ignore her. That’s totally unacceptable so out comes the combat vest.

Honestly I think alligators would be less of a threat. Frankly they are easier to run away from and they’re not that big on object permanence.

If you go into a room and close the door they forget about you.

Yeah they won’t even discuss it, we’ll just get the same boilerplate response we got last time.

Surely the opposite should be true. It just shows that countries cannot leave the EU because it is far too damaging to their economy

I don’t know how you would go about intentionally making them worse. In theory they have a premium mode but in practise the premium mode is the “function at all” mode.

The hostility from the EU about the UK rejoining (especially from France) tells me that’s not likely to happen.

The UK petition ends before the EU petition so my guess is that they’ll give us some canned response before the end of the month. In their heads that will end the discussion.

It was extremely clear what the previous petition was, it was just they weren’t interested in doing anything so they intentionally misunderstood.

Who? I seriously have no idea who you’re talking about.

I honestly think that the main reason this has kicked off is that up until about a week ago it wasn’t really advertised. I didn’t even know that it started the petition up again, I knew the original one failed because parliament closed and for some reason that meant the petition had to end.

The ego on this guy is just unprecedented. It’s Borderlands, most people can take it or leave it.
