  • Tesla wins licence to supply electricity in Britain

    Jump

  • As long as humanly possible, they're not getting a penny out of me.

    I say "as long as humanly possible", because they have the money to supply electricity at a loss for several years, to undercut and then buy out all the other energy suppliers... but I'm hopeful that won't happen.

  • Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question

    Jump

  • There's a chance that someone once uploaded a picture of some boobs on it or something, so to "protect the children", our beloved glorious leaders have blocked us from a big chunk of the internet.

  • Migration minister fails UK citizenship test question

    Jump

  • 20/24 (83%), native Briton.

    Some of those questions are stupid though, on terms of day to day knowledge on Britain.

    If it was actually going to be useful, it would include things about:

    • Letting someone go in front of you in the shop queue if they've only got a few things and you've got a basket full.
    • Which football teams are "scum" according to supporters of other football teams
    • Which one of PJ & Duncan is PJ and which one is Duncan? (Also known as Ant and Dec)
    • How to apologise for things, even even they're not your fault
    • Why Piers Morgan is a twat
    • What things you can have a "cheeky" one of i.e. pints, Greggses, sausage rolls, Nandoses, and girls (if you're MP Lembit Opik).

  • Bevdan Bridge and troll

    Jump

  • I love it. Make some new folklore for the region :)

    If you do more of these, definitely post them, I'd love to see some more.

  • This is great - I especially enjoy the mix of observational drawing and imagination within one picture.

  • Helps me relax ;)

    Jump

  • That's a very ordered doodle! I enjoy the variety of "sections" within it, different patterns and sequences and rules all overlaid on one another. Lovely.

  • Relaunched digital ID will make it easier to access services, minister says

    Jump

  • Oh fuck off with your fucking IDs again and stop pretending they're for anything except oppression and surveillance.

  • Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own

    Jump

  • [...]organisation representing musicians Large Corporate Record Companies who bought the rights off someone[...]

  • I read it, but I'm going to try and forget it as soon as possible.

  • Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own

    Jump

  • They're an extortion racket for large music recording labels, who generally fuck over small music venues and individual musicians.

  • Meet the community group taking on 'absentee landlords' to put empty building in hands of artists

    Jump

  • Sounds like a great project. I wish there was something similar running in every city centre. Our city centre is full of empty buildings being hoarded by "property investment companies".

  • PC processors entered the Gigahertz era today in the year 2000 with AMD's Athlon — AMD hit marketing gold with its 1 GHz Athlon, beat Intel by a nose

    Jump

  • I'm taking it as indication that you're Wario.

  • Failed drawing

    Jump

  • Weird, it looks almost exactly like this inage from the new one:

    Though it wouldn't surprise me if they've reused the same pose from an earlier film though - anyway, my point was the facial features seemed to match the older Ash quite well, compared to his very narrow face and square jaw in the 80s.

  • Rules

    Jump

  • I think there's some imposters on that list, else I'm stuck trying to work put how I'd pronounce "danger" with three syllables.

  • Our cat thinks she's a dog

    Jump

  • Not definitely - our three weren't allowed outside until their 1st birthday, but since that (they're almost 4) they come and go as they please during daylight hours (we're in the UK where this is normal). All three still play fetch, but only with specific types of toys.

    One fetches fluffy toys with feather "tails", one fetches sweet wrappers or bits of paper and one fetches old cat collars (which is very useful - if one loses their collar, he normally picks it up and brings it home for us). Collar-fetcher and wrapper-fetcher get bored a bit quicker these days, but feather-toy-fetcher will play fetch for ages.

  • Failed drawing

    Jump

  • This looks like it's from the newer "Ash vs Evil Dead", so part of the issue is that he looks "less like himself" to people who'd recognise him from the films in the 1980s and early 90s - he's 25-30 years older, so his distinctive chin etc just isn't that distinctive in the source photo.

    Jump

  • So very right. Forcing myself to "do fewer things" and go to bed earlier, and give myself the chance of getting enough sleep makes such a difference. Of course, it helps that I'm old and boring now, so going to bed early isn't missing out on anything fun :)

    It's very noticeable how all my misfunctioning is much worse of in underslept or underfed.

  • Shitty attention to detail

    Jump

  • Yes, "in extreme cases, over a litre per hour" of diarrhoea.

    One other thing to take from this is when you read "so-and-so died of dysentry" it means "so-and-so shat themselves to death".

    E.g.

    "1596: Sir Francis Drake, vice admiral, shat himself to death on 28 January 1596 whilst anchored off the coast of Portobelo."
