Italian MP threatens parents forcing veggie diets on kids with jail

Re: A luxury life-style first-world choice

My lifestyle choices have no bearing on my original comment. Which is completely valid. It is a luxury choice.

Now where was I?

Oh yes.

Smug cunts.

A luxury life-style first-world choice

That's what vegetarianism is.

Smug cunts.

Why Agile is like flossing and regular sex

I've just had a look at their area. They have a piece of paper entitled "Things we want."

It reads:

"Socialising"

"Munchies"

"Team Avatar"

"Jabber"

How on earth would we carry on without them???

A lot of postits

We have adopted this Agile bollocks here. It has involved employing a lot of young, excitable project analysts whose jobs seem to consist of moving postits around a wall.

Meanwhile the rest of us quietly make stuff actually work in the real world.

Agile my arse

"Have you done that project plan?"

"No, couldn't be arsed."

"No problem, we'll just make it up as we go along and call it Agile."

Agile - no proper planning and instead of sitting down in meetings like normal people we all fucking stand up for two hours.

What's Brexit? How Tech UK tore up its plans after June 23

Re: YAWN

I should really have titled my post DOUBLE YAWN.

I don't mistrust foreigners. I voted against the UNION, NOT the PEOPLE.

A simple distinction none of you Remainers seem able to make.

Or I could play Remain Bingo.

It's like management bullshit bingo except you look for words such as "daily mail", "working class", "stupid", "little englander", "UKIP", "shocked", "horrified", "xenophobe", "racist"

I've got a full-house just off this page.

Re: YAWN

Thanks.

Brexit FOR THE WIN.

Yes, of course it was a competition.

YAWN

"IF" doom and gloom, "MAY" doom and gloom, "COULD" doom and gloom.

Which was basically the entire Remoan manifesto.

Which was why you lost.

The significance of headlines such as "Cameron considered last-ditch appeal to Merkel" seems lost on you. Unless you liked being run by Germany.

Less hiring, or fewer applications?

I wonder about this whenever this type of subject comes up.

For instance - women in powerful positions in business or politics. Are women deliberately rejected during the selection process or is it simply because the average woman is less interested in power than the average bloke?

Re: Paying for fuel

"preselect the amount of fuel you want to dispense"

Ok, just bear with me while I siphon out what's still in there so I can subtract it from the total capacity and then I can let you know.

Or I could just stick the nozzle in, fill up until stops and then pay by card. That seems to work and really wasn't crying out to be buggered about with.

UK.gov flings £30m at driverless car R'n'D, wants plebs to speek their branes

Re: We're not robots! Highways Agency & Avon and Somerset Police beg to differ.

70mph is a completely arbitrary, decades-old value that bears no relation to real world events - time, weather, traffic.

A friend has a new Merc with the 9G box. At 80mph the engine is doing 1350rpm, so the pollution/mpg argument is immaterial. Yes, in heavy traffic/bad weather etc. of course he should do 60, or 50 and the limits should enforce that. But quiet, clear, late, why not 80mph, as in some other countries?

Ever been on the M6 toll round Birmingham? Quiet, few cars, visibility for miles ahead. It is no more dangerous on that road to do 80 than to do 70.

I'm too old for this.

Well I'm only 46 but I know I could never relax enough to truly trust a driverless car.

Use Brexit to save smokers' lives and plug vaping, say peers

Vaping - it will never look cool.

I mean, how cool would Lauren Bacall have looked saying "all you have to do is whistle" had she been holding an enormous plastic contraption and surrounded by an opaque cloud of steam?

So there you go kids - fags, they're cool. Yeah.

You can’t sit there, my IoT desk tells me

Re: How mainstream will IoT get?

The thing is I might not want my fridge to reorder my meat cos I know the local coop sells it cheap on a saturday afternoon.

But I dont know exactly what I'll get each week so I can't filter it out of the preorder list.

How mainstream will IoT get?

Maybe when the 5 year olds of today are grown up, but apart from gadget junkies/tech nerds who actually uses it now?

The only IoT I can think I might possibly need is remote control of the heating, but even then as I'm not a soft sack of shite I'm able to bear a few minutes of a cool house without crying. I certainly don't want my groceries auto-ordered or anything like that,

Wannabe Prime Minister Andrea Leadsom thinks all websites should be rated – just like movies

Well, this kind of already happens

My parental controls on my home wireless block sites that someone has deemed inappopriated for children. I can add or remove URLs on these lists.

Work web filters perform a similar task.

So it's basically unnecessary - those of us who care already use some form of filtering, Those who don't won't care about ratings anyway.

Dell confirms price rise post Brexit vote as UK pound stumbles

Re: Is this what they mean....

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

I'm voting you down because it's NOT FAIR!!!

Er, yes it is.

Re: Is this what they mean....

Stop whining. You lost. It's called democracy. It's not best out of three. You are not Death vs Bill and Ted.

Re: Prediction

Yes, because of course we are all poor, retarded, penniless racists.

A bit of context on the pound from MSE:

"Before the EU vote a pound bought €1.30ish - it's now a little under €1.18. At this rate your holiday will be far more expensive than last summer when it was €1.43, a bit more expensive than the summer before but a touch cheaper than the year before that when it was €1.15 - so this ISN'T a historical anomaly."

Yes, it is struggling against the dollar, but it isn't the fact of Brexit itself that is causing issues, it's that we are not getting on with it.

Here is the story of my great, great Uncle:

Hugh Dalton was born in Croston, near Chorley on the 27th January 1890, the son of William and Mary; they had five children.

He enlisted in the Pals on the 26th September 1914, giving his address at 7 Church Street, Croston and working for his father who was a Blacksmith in the village; he worshipped at St. Mary’s in Croston.

Hugh Dalton came through the Somme battle in 1916 unscathed, only to contract Nephritis (a kidney infection) at Bethune in January 1917. He was admitted to 94 Field Ambulance and then the 1st Canadian General Hospital at Etaples on the 29th January 1917. He was shipped back to the U.K. for treatment, spending nearly three months at the 1st / 5th General Hospital in Leicester; he then spent a week convalescing at a hospital in Ashton-in-Makerfield, near Wigan at the start of May.

Hugh was eventually discharged from the Army on the 16th November 1917, giving his address as the Black Bull Hotel in Horwich. His record showed that he was awarded a pension of 8/- (eight shillings [40p]) a week for a year at the end of 1919.

In 1920, he married Mary Bromley in Bolton; Hugh Dalton died in 1963.

He was one of the lucky ones, he lived. Many other young people did not. No future for them.

So PLEASE, do not give me all this utter, total, absolute bollocks about your life being over, or you have no future, because of Brexit. The world is still open to you, Europe will still be open to you.
