True, @DarthDimi
The UK Government would commit a sin in this move (had they've done it).
When they take their cues from Bond villains...
The Tories were once upon a time well read and respected people who wrote books on policy and other matters. Great men like Harold Macmillan, Lord Hailsham, Rab Butler and Sir Alec Douglas-Home were the last true blue Tories in my opinion. After that there was the rise of the meritocracy and with it mass privatisation ("selling off the family silver") and modernisation under the guise of Conservatism. As Enoch Powell once said in 1974 the descriptor "Tory" wouldn't apply to many members of the Conservative front bench, even less so post-Thatcher. The days of the One Nation Tories who were sympathetic to the working class are sadly over. It seems to me that only lip service is paid to that concept nowadays. The Conservative Party is no longer dominated by the old ruling class of the shires but by a super-rich cabal in league with the City of London.
That fits quite well as the biggest Tories are generally older people. ;)
Good one, @Dragonpol!
.....and for the second time POTP is selling kiddie porn : that Traci Lords sgd photo is likely pre-18 thus illegal
I think my blu player came region free , its a Phillips i believe.....either that or some simple codes i found online
Thus spoke an orange... =))
What’s worse is the game cheats and I know what to do
like in Caverns I need to be able to get through the objectives with nearly all my health in tact so I can basically make a mad dash to the end I got to the room with the radio and then suddenly bond has no idea how to aim and thug number 32 decides to be Rambo and there goes my bloody health and the next few times I try thug number 3 is able to shoot me through a wall!!!!!
Jungle Natalya only wants to help when she wants to so I either have decent health or decent ammo but not both
I could go on but man if I ever beat this stupid game I will never play it again
That sounds like a great idea for the post-Covid world.
I'm afraid of this really, and what do you think is their point of making these things?
Me too. I suppose it could be to develop biological weapons or perhaps some less nefarious reason such as research into viruses. Still, it's worrying considering what we've come through over the last three years.
Great set-up for a Bond film, btw. Weirdo industrialist builds/buys/has arctic research station, turns out he wants to use it to extract either some ancient strain of the plague to weaponize or old nuclear ordinance, some of which is also frozen out there and might get exposed in the next few decades.
I've never noticed it, I'm trying hard to find it, but all I see was the mountain.
Wow! Thanks @NickTwentyTwo
Never noticed it before, for how long and how many years I'm eating Toblerone.
It's a great game for my friends to make guess.
It's a very secretive design hahaha.....
That's sad, especially that the bear thing is something that I've just newly discovered.
Everything seems to change these days.
True, and it's a genius move from Toblerone, but is this bear just added to that mountain, or it's really there since?
That is something I really hate. Flaws in an internal system are noticed but not fully examined. Then some bureaucratic procedures automatically come into play, sequences of pre-planned steps that may lead, as in your case, to a cold eviction notice. Consequence: sleepless nights, stressful situations, time wasted sorting things out. Bills one supposedly never paid but did, papers one supposedly never sent but did, traffic laws one supposedly broke but didn't, places one supposedly visited but didn't... and then days, weeks, months or years of back-and-forths trying to set it all right.
I hate bureaucracies, whether big or small (like one landlord's personal bookkeeping). They are so convinced that their spreadsheets, filing systems and rulebooks are perfect, they automatically assume that we did something wrong, when half the time it's their mess. And since they let computers process everything, they have even lost the skill to figure out how to solve things like decent human beings: with a simple conversation before you send harsh warnings or critical notices.
So @FoxRox, you have my sympathy, sir! I am with you 100%.
Thank you, all very well put! I’m gonna not stress it, but makes me wonder if it could happen again come next time to get a lease. I can almost guarantee there’ll be another new landlord by then, as this one is already my third since moving here. I love the location and setup but there is zero help from management.
@Venutius
That’s like technically how you could be fired for nothing in at-will employment jobs too. Luckily I’ve never had a boss that horrible yet! Absolutely crazy though, yes. Mad mad world!
I think here a landlord can evict a tenant without cause but it’s like 6 months notice? And while realizing it is a living situation for the tenants, the landlord owns the building so I can’t really see why they’d always need a reason… maybe they just want to use the building/space for something else? It’s theirs.
Two months is pretty egregious though.
It's the same sort of thing with "zero hour contracts" which when first introduced were trumpeted to help single mothers etc. back into work. In reality, they have had a negative effect on workers and allow employers to legally give no hours to their employee when they so wish as well as being able to deny them the hard won benefits of holiday pay etc. Again, it's something that should never have been countenanced in the first place but presumably lobbying by employers has an effect on government policy.
