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

The other thread is an imposter, they serve off-brand polonium tea bags.

Not much different than mine tbh, I live on the east coast in the US right under mountains, so it's constantly rainy/foggy/snowy with a few days of the week being extremely hot. Haven't done anything with my life in 24 years so I'd rather just take a chance and go somewhere new for a bit. Would be nice.

I hope we give those Russians a right kick up the arse.

Yeah it's pretty fucked that they put UK citizens at risk on UK soil but I can't imagine any sanctions that would be anything but a slap on the wrist

The UK and Russia have had sour relations for hundreds of years, but I doubt people expected they'd still be prevalent in 2018. I'm not a huge fan of Theresa May but I'm glad she's actually addressing this instead of attempting to skirt around the edges.

Its a shame because Theresa May actually looks somewhat competent when she talks about the whole Russia thing in parliament, she's clearly much more in her element when dealing with stuff like this. But she spends 99% of her time getting fucked by her party over brexit so you only ever see her being weak and confused.

I can't be the only one who feels like this sounds like a catalyst for something worse. The whole nerve agent ordeal I mean.

I just want to give fair warning, I'm learning French again so if I sneeze or accidentally get baguette on you please treat it as a biohazard warning and shower immediately.

7% rise in my council tax this year *sigh*

She seems too willing to allow people in her party to go rampant. Boris Johnson ranting about the type of Brexit he wanted just demonstrated how the power could swing in anyone's favour within the party. Though 'strong and stable' never came to fruition, a good sign of having a 'strong and stable' leadership is to make sure people don't contradict the message put out by your party. It shows division and fractures.

Basically her hands are tied with her own party, she clearly isn't invested in brexit as a concept but most of her MPs and the people that voted for her are. So she just kind of plods along looking befuddled while everyone walks over her. Because if she pushed back in any meaningful way she'd get replaced immediately. Stuff like this is much more her thing based on her prior experience.

Oh definitely. Regardless of her current performance, she wasn't a terrible Home Secretary and was miles better than Amber Rudderless. I partially feel sorry for Theresa May because I don't think she could have predicted the mess she was getting herself into. Is she an amazing person and politician? No. But she's clearly not the worst Conservative.

It just started snowing outside in the south. I was hoping to start growing my carrots this weekend.

Me in October: Man I love winter Me for the past 4 months: Man I HATE winter

I love winter but after Christmas it can just fuck right off.

Yeah it's so cold right now, I love snow and all, but please no more.

It was snowing before, but now that giant bright ball of burning nuclear fire is back, not sure what it wants.

It's a show of dominance. It can defeat the very thing that drives the country to a halt just by showing up, so naturally it deserve nothing short of a human sacrifice.

Yesterday I was in short sleeves when sat here at my pc. Today long sleeves and a hoodie. Light snow falling about not settling. Weather doesn't show snow here tomorrow and i'm glad as i'm done with this snow fucking my commute to work.

Love the NHS, hate the NHS Physiotherapy waiting times. Was referred to see an NHS Physio in January, earliest they've said I can get an appointment is mid may.

Salah is a fucking footballing machine right now, shame he's at Liverpool.

I hope he stays in the prem for a few seasons at least. He's a monster.

Oh man I can't believe how warm the past week was, now snow again? This country has weird ass weather

last week I put a snapchat up saying "spring is that u?" and I was getting away with a jacket seems the gods heard me and thought, ah sending gay snapchats are we mate? we'll put a stop to that

Aye m8 this is all your fault. I want some compensation. A coin will do just fine.

Drove home super slow in snow and ice again tonight. Can we pls go into spring/summer yet

Spring is here lads https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/659/986319f4-53a6-44f2-b4fb-136aa2d762b3/Screenshot_20180318-001859_Reolink.jpg

get your filthy mitts off my shekels

Those people who complain about it snowing and people going out and buying all the milk annoy me. It's not that people are buying milk cause its snowing, it's that stores can't get deliveries. At my store, we get around 8000 pints of milk delivered every morning, by the time the store closes there is maybe 300-400 pints left. If for some reason the delivery truck doesn't arrive in the morning, we have no milk till the next day.

Off to give blood for my first time now. Once I dug my car out... https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/659/66ab4417-dcea-469e-9a83-b9f950bcc3a0/IMG-20180318-WA0003.jpg
