WAIT WHAT?! today? aww shit i need to buy that

Thats all any of us can hope, because if he was being honest and truthful during the campaign, then dooms day predictions could be accurate

Depends how you want to scrape the barrel for a silver lining, atleast we know who the idiots/racists/biggots are now and can plan accordingly for the 2020 election

The irony that today in Normal (non american) calenders is actually 9/11..... Is that snow outside my window the first snows of the nuclear winter?

I could sit in reserve if you need a raider, i'm on call for Gritting this week so i can't for certain say if i'll be available - i've been out the last two nights in the evening, and potentially will be through the night later this week

Could you not get a post at another engineering firm? Lots of them do day releases to university to do degrees, so do a lot of the local authorities - speaking with personal experience Leeds City council has taken on people who've done part training elsewhere and taken them throguh to HNC/HND & Degree and even allow you to do a Masters (at your won cost) and are very helpful at getting you to incorporated, chartered etc

So its UNdemocratic to allow the PM under delegated powers to make this decision without parliamentary (ergo electeced public representatives) oversight? in more laymans terms

Id disagree with that last bit, i'd argue its at its very heart a democratic right that our elected government review any proposals )isn't that what what brexit was about? giving the power to parliament to decide what we do? not one central power?), rather than the unelected stand in leader in isolation get to decide on a private term deal with our first knowledge of it being when its in and unchangeable? Giving the control of massive decisions to one single leader has not worked well in europe in the past, in this very country allowing Blair to defacto decide on war is vastly hated because the truth only cam out after Bringing any negotiations before parliament allowing the elected MP's to decide on it is entirely democratic They could even demand the terms be put up for referendum on if we accept and leave or shut up and stay, which again would be a democratic process. Democracy at its heart is a group of people debating and deciding on a course of action, not allowing one person to decide for us, that an autocracy

I fear trump will win Simply put he has ran a perfect (in the evil snese) media campaign, deflecting all questions on his past, his disgusting attitude toward women, managed to convince the Head of the FBi to publicly announce damaging information at this stage, breaking the Hatch act, which has resulted in a shift in the poles all whilst not publically mentioning the russian connection and managing to coopt supporters minds to one single thought - but what about those emails? Its almost akin to the Nazi's it was the jews mind altering propaganda We are screwed, a man who cannot control his own rage and acts like a baby throwing toys out of the pram will control the worlds 'best' millitary and an arsenal of nukes to send us back to the Cretaceous–Paleogene period

Very true, right now they can promise the world and then admit the truth later blaming it on a spiteful Europe - this rulling means we know up front and i'd suspect it will not be of any benefit to those wanting to falsely claim brexit will be amazing. Its funny only yesterday did i see my cousin (who's become increasingly right wing, perhaps due to neighbours from hell who unfortunately are provided a house on state handouts and are foreign) post a daily mail article on the town of Saville in Yorkshire - where the census revealed 49 of several thousand residents were white, the rest were made up of immigrants - mainly of arabic/indian decent He shared it with the comment of "Brexit was meant to change this" I don't have a facepalm gif that does that justice..........So Brexit, that severs us from Europe and prevents free movement of Europeans through Europe........will stop middleeastern immigrants who already come from outside the EU............... And thats all neglecting the details that the example of Saville is scewed because it was a small industrial town with a small population that encoruaged immigration for factory workers from the industrial era to the 70s to provide a work force. Arguably its an immigrant town because it was expanded to be one I really hope the Labour, SNP, Green and Tory remain MP's band together and make this as difficult as possible, blocking brexit or demanding a 2nd referendum - frankly the Tories will likely win the next election, they have nothing to loose only to gain

Not directly but MP's could demand that they agree ont he condition of a further referendum and i really doubt a second one would be won by brexiters, a lot of people i know voted out have already changed their minds

No unfortunately not, they knew who it was and that they'd done other robberies but the CPS felt there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute Thankfully i've a thick skull so no cracked skull

I'm a pessimist and right now i'm thinking just how bad this post could be recieved

1) What's your dream job? Games developer! i even went to University and did a BSC in Computing (aiming to speciaise in Multimedia programming the sub course on programming for films, Tv and other media), got to the gap year when we were to do a placement and even sent out letters to a few places (including Rockstar Leeds, didn't hurt to try) However life screwed me, I worked in McDonalds and whislt working one night it was robbed and i was hit round the head a half dozen times with a hatchet - "thankfully" the hammer like end and not the blade. Long story short i was off work and Uni for the best part of 3 months, missing my end of year exams. The uni was understanding and i could resit that year the following year The following year came......and they'd dropped the multimedia specialization leaving the choices of databases and web design, with no alternate course to move to, to continue doing what i want and the prospect of paying to do something i didn't want and then doing another costly course to get where i wanted i took the uneasy decision to drop out. so i dropped out and..... 2) What are you actually doing? I got a job for Leeds City Council as a trainee Civil Engineer, they paid for me to do a Civil Engineering course, 5 years of Training later and i was a qualified civil engineer spending my days designing on AutoCad. The downside to which being having 70% of my time spend doing paper work, answering public correspondence (mainly asking for unreasonable things?) or meetings. Its a job which i can enjoy, the design work and problem solving can be incredibly rewarding, the special projects which i've worked on planning (like the Tour De' Yorkshire) and impressive to add to CV's and its quite easy to do additional training to deal with other engineering sub sets - architecture, flood risk management etc 3) Did you ever envision yourself in what you're doing now? No Not in a million years. I always thought i'd end up designing on computers, but designing civil engineering works wasn't on the radar. To me i wanted to develop games or work in the film industry doing CGI (Jurassic park really had an effect on me). Back then i knew the public sector was hated and not appreciated due to the persistent media campaign to set working man against working man as a distraction to the real issues. Even now i hate admitting where i work, it starts as a joke but there is truth in it, but people always go "oh are you responsible for..." and proceed to moan about the public sector, road works, dog mess, bins, you name it

Sorry i've not been around today, i won't be around on the PSN tonight either

I say merge them! I would post more in general chat if i remembered, mainly on breaks at work and see threads i want to post in, but i don't have the time sometimes so i subscribe to them............and forget about them.

I'd say he does look like Suder from Voyager Or Reg Barkley? (lots of trek)

@Eddage, @Shorty and @Map @DriftKaiser@Zell Are will still raiding today? @Sheikah said he'd take Drift's slot if he couldn't do it (suggesting 9pm), and i know @MilaGi was also wanting to be in reserve if others can't gotta be honest i've had a rough day so if its not on i'm going to just get rat arsed, so no pressure on anyone

Grass Ghost? oh holy hell! i love ghosts! man i was going for Litten because i like cats, but rowlet dies and becomes a ghost? shiiiiiiiiiit might need to get on the trading system and get one of each The water type becoming a fairy redeems it lightly, but it still looks shit

I usually do something, but this year nobody is doing anything and my girlfriend refuses fancy dress so i can't convince her to go anywhere - had an awesome plague doctor costume idea too

I held off on the HD remakes because they were on the PS3 and i've transitioned to PS4 now, thinking i could see a PC release or PS4 release, so i'm very happy now

9pm is fine with me

If it was Aloan Meowth it would be more black cat.....

I still play but its not as fun given we seem to never be getting tracking now! we've had three updates since it went and its not even mentioned now! the game will be dead before its restored

Exactly! how many portable games consoles have used any disk media? and worked? its lazy barrel scraping journalism
