  • So how would you handle this?

  • Because statistically most pole dancers are ladies.

  • The amateur requirements were primarily a method to keep the poors out of sporting events. The vast majority of those who could take the time out to properly train for an event were rich enough to not need a proper job. Allowing professionalism has opened up the playing field to the most talented - at least in theory.

  • Sen. Mitch McConnell hospitalized after experiencing 'flu-like symptoms'

  • What in the everloving fuck. I had some kinda specific symptoms one weekend, I called the doc on Monday, he said come in this afternoon (must've been a bit worried, getting an appointment normally takes longer, I don't want to misrepresent this).

    I went in, we had a chat, he said come back tomorrow for a blood test. I dutifully went in for the test and went home. 8PM that night I got a call from an out of hours doctor, they said get yourself to A&E (emergency room). More bloods taken, I was triaged and admitted (which took about 36hrs - was a heavy time, I wasn't super urgent).

    Spent the next 5 weeks in hospital, I now have a life long condition which necessitates a lot of pills that I've been taking for a few years now.

    Total out of pocket cost £0.

    People still try to claim the US system is superior.

  • Lord Mandelson resigns from Labour Party over Epstein links

    Jump

  • I'm not really trying to argue the point on the level of achievement - that will always be subjective. More to address the point on why local heroes don't get above OBE and to raise the absurdity of the dual use of peerages.

  • Lord Mandelson resigns from Labour Party over Epstein links

    Jump

  • I think we should, to a degree, separate peerages from KBE/CBE/MBE/OBE/BM - they're not political and there are (so far as I know) specific criteria that need to be met to achieve the various levels (for instance someone doing something locally will by definition never get anything higher than an OBE, because a CBE requires significant achievement at a regional or national level).

    Peerages are a bit weird, senior politicians/lawyers/academics etc getting appointments makes sense because they're the upper legislative house and to a degree we want some level of political nous in the parliamentary body. However they're also given to the likes of Andrew Lloyd Webber presumably as a reward for his achievements, which may or may not be deserved, but also mean he can be shipped in if required to vote on legislation.

    Separation of "honours like" and "legislative like" peerages would be a good idea.

  • You remind me of Clarke's third law, even in my own head this sounds a bit waffely but at the point one of them can fool all of us all the time how do we distinguish it from intelligence or something.

  • Heads up on pyrolytic self cleaning, I've learned since buying mine that it's commonly referred to as "self destruct mode" by oven designers as it is not uncommon for it to damage electronic parts, seals and the front glass of the oven, produces carbon monoxide which it will dump into your house and firefighters recommend against using it as sometimes it just goes up in flames.

    Most of the time it's perfectly safe, but has the potential to go wrong just about any time.
