@TheGNPE The Internet needs to be upset by someone or they will have nothing to bitch and cry about! Besides Jim and Jerry are a replacement act to follow! 🤪
@garethicke I am really looking forward to getting a white feather sent to me, I wanted a really big gay looking one at that, just so I can annoy the pants out of everyone. Far better than a free wooden box from the government or a free cremation currently being offered by Putin.
@JohnCleese Pretty sure it was the Greeks who invented democracy! Russians just know how to bury royalty with hand grenades, probably why the UK does not like them.🤔
@LindaSayle I think they both sides are complete turds. Putin won everything he wanted years ago, can we stop pretending this is about freedom and not the gas and oil pipelines that run through Ukraine.
I have no fear of my smart meters killing me, I have yet to see them function. Second set of SMETS2 with 4g hub. I also have Emporia Vue, Solis Cloud and my Zappi Charger. These three do actually work. Ofgem and the DCC could learn a thing about how real smart metering works!
When Margaret Thatcher made England and Wales the only countries in the world with fully privatised water, the naysayers argued it was a terrible idea. Today, everyone agrees privatisation has been a roaring success.
It has delivered an impressive rise in customer bills which has coincided with an equally impressive rise in shareholder profits. These improvements were delivered through efficiency savings, such as not building any reservoirs since 1992 and forgetting about silly ideas like sewage treatment. Thanks to neoliberalism, turds are now a common sight at our beaches and marine life is not.
If that wasn’t impressive enough, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has confirmed the UK is officially the world’s dampest desert. Three-quarters of the nation has been plunged into drought, despite the fact it constantly pisses down. You are therefore banned from gardening and bathing your children so that data centres don’t go without.
No one knows why countries that contain actual deserts don’t experience the same difficulties we do. For example, Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a hose pipe ban. Unfortunately, we live in a place where the weather breaks everything. Sunshine? Drought. Rain? Floods. An inch of snow? The whole country closes for some reason.
The only weather the UK can actually cope with is grey and miserable. Any deviation leads to immediate national collapse. If we didn’t have such a brilliant water system, we’d be in serious trouble. But thankfully, our system is built to protect corporate profits, no matter what. Everything is secondary to that, including your ability to drink.
Thankfully, Andy Burnham is showing leadership on the matter. He is taking the emergency step of doing absolutely nothing. When questioned about nationalisation, the Prime Minister calmly explained that his donors won’t allow it.
In a bizarre coincidence, the system that allows them to personally profit is the only one that could possibly work. Sure, we could end up with crop failures and food shortages, but I’m sure things would’ve been worse if Jeremy Corbyn had got his way.
Obviously, this is not a systemic problem, it’s a technological one. Virtually all our rainfall is lost because we can’t make pipes that don’t burst. Water companies have absolutely no incentive to stop leaks and every incentive not to, but I’m confident this has nothing whatsoever to do with the matter.
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....
You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly, and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed…
All of us
Profits be for people…

@LarryJones I'm sick about hearing of COVID! Joking aside, I had it from the start and still have it and no vaccination what was the point, I was told I was going to die anyway!
Watching Masters of the Universe, Hollywood has gone too far with another classic! Everyone knows He-man was really about the blue eyed blonde elite hero and his followers!
@waltermasterson The Trojan horse is described in the Odyssey in tales told after the event, the Iliad however ends with Hector's death and it is not mentioned.
