United Kingdom chat thread V4: lamb rogan josh, £3 meal deals, and brexit - General

[QUOTE=Jacko245;53177019]Edinburgh council haven't really bothered gritting any of the streets near my flat. I was pretty much just walking on ice all the way to the gym these last few days. The red weather warning wasn't as bad as I thought for the city centre though. Apparently some places in the borders were cut off entirely[/QUOTE] it doesn't really seem that bad now, espesh with rain getting rid of the vast majority of it. Places just south of edinburgh and what seemed like the entire region of Dumfries & Galloway got it bad; some of the A roads are so thin but open that they've had stupid high snow drifts blocking entire routes.

[QUOTE=Thomo;53178813]The way I see it, the council are the carry out the repairs on them so it must be their responsibility.[/QUOTE] next time i slip on a bit of ice because someone didn't clear the pavement outside their house, i'll remember this point of view.

Pavements should definitely be the local councils responsibility, there are people who are physically unable to clear outside their own homes. Sure, people who are able should be encouraged to clear the outside of their own homes, but it should be the councils responsibility to make sure they're properly cleared all the way.

The council clear the pavements where I lived in Scotland. Roads got priority but pavements were after

fuck all gets cleared here so every time I leave the house after it snows I either walk slow or fall on my ass never forget when I was walking to the bus stop during high school and slipped on a patch of ice, hit a perfect 90° angle mid flight and landed on my actual back. was nice of everyone to laugh when I could have crippled myself x

So what is the snow situation, has it all fucked off? Did i miss it all, I'm still here for three more nights. I'm looking forward to getting back to my own bed. Don't like staying in hotels much, I like my bed being in its own room. [editline]6th March 2018[/editline] And the bed here is a double bed with two single duvets on it. Madness I tell ya Oddly I miss my car as well [editline]6th March 2018[/editline] And eating out is nice, but it gets boring quickly on your own. I just fancy a dutty frozen oven food with beans dinner

Yep, back to being stabbed by chavs while trying to do your shopping at Lidl

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;53182474]Yep, back to being stabbed by chavs while trying to do your shopping at Lidl[/QUOTE] I know the feeling, up here in Salford it's a ballache putting the bins out your house and ALWAYS getting stabbed by atleast 2/3 chavs. You get used to it after a while.

Aye Salford has its villains [video]https://youtu.be/T2b2BwnjfEg[/video] [video]https://youtu.be/XDXFVTZCZwI[/video] [Sp]I love ideal so much, everyone should watch it[/sp]

I really really wanted to post this in SH or something but tabloid sources are banned. just because of how hilarious this is. [url]https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5732932/snowflake-students-dub-frakenstein-misunderstood-victim/#comments[/url] The pinnacle of journalism. Fuck me.

Aint read the article just the headline But wasn't that the whole fucking point of Frankenstein? That man is the real monster? I'm pretty sure that's why you learn it in school. I'm fairly sure I recognised that as a thick 12 year old in high school, who didn't even read the book properly and only remember bits of the adaptation Imagine actually being that fucking dense. Then imagine getting a job as a journalist

The worst thing about it is they probably do know what it's about, they're just taking their thick as pigshit, brexit voting, empathy devoid, racist readers for a ride [editline]7th March 2018[/editline] Fuck me i need to lay down

[QUOTE=Kiwi;53183259]Wondering if this is suited for Fast Threads or GD though. It would also give them clicks, which wouldn't work out so great.[/QUOTE] Pictures / Proxy Links

all I can say to that article is "pish an baws"

I've started watching Vikings on Amazon Prime. My god, it is [B]amazing[/B].

[QUOTE=Vault Hunter;53185108]I've started watching Vikings on Amazon Prime. My god, it is [B]amazing[/B].[/QUOTE] Later seasons get even, fucking, beefier. There's a couple of earlier seasons (mainly when shit gets too religious and there are these awkward spiritual hallucinations) which are really shit compared to the quality you expect, and I remember finding them real tough to get through. But it pays off, the most recent season is insanely good. Anyone ever worked as Tesco Security? Just got back from a 24 hour superstore, I was literally the only customer (4am). The security guard came down and used a computer near the tills and he was filling in some sort of identification sheet, I only clocked "tanned individual" as one of the checkboxes. Just curious as to what those are even for, was it some survey he was filling out just documenting the types of customers coming in?

It's probably the own-brand version of [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC_codes]IC codes[/url]. He was probably documenting an earlier shoplifter or suspected shoplifter, not you. Security is basically 'Observe & Report' (a shit film), not 'Protect & Serve'.

I loved the setting that it was filmed in, but the hallucination stuff just made me want to vom. Too much wobbly screen for my liking. [quote]Anyone ever worked as Tesco Security?

I don't ever remember Tesco wanting to document their customers when I worked there, and if he'd have thought you were stealing he'd have collared you on the door. Could just have been a jobsworth though, the security guard from co op actively follows me around the store and steps in my way "by accident". One time he did it while some chavs were stealing sweets, so I led him down the aisle (lmao).

Why are kids nowadays such little shits? Was coming back from the Gym and went and got some flowers before I forgot (It's Mothers Day Sunday if you have forgotten like it totally didn't) and this 10-13 year old fucking pushes infront of me in line with his sweets. Little Shit he was.

Kids have been little shits since the dawn of time. Including you, including me.
