I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it

My wife kept saying we should get a Dyson, but I wouldn’t contribute to the cost so we bought a Henry.

He’s not getting a penny my money.

Surely it’s the cube pub?

There are services in the UK where they come and clear the house for free. They take the risk on the value of what is in there.

It’s easy. W is a vowel in Welsh. It sounds similar to ö in German and it can be modified as ŵ to elongate the sound such as in the word dŵr which means water.

Wrwgwai or Wcrain (for example) are the natural way to spell those countries using the Welsh alphabet. Its a highly phonetic language believe it or not.

What happened to Giant Bomb? I used to listen to it many years ago…

Does nobody here wear shirts to work?

Fascinating, and what about Basque?

Jess christ… this makes me want to poke out my eyes!

It’s too hard! Can you tell us?

All true. A few problems facing increasing renewable penetration:

Lack of grid capacity. The national grid operator (REN) has stated there is not enough capacity currently, or in the planned grid expansions, to meet the countries renewable targets.

Rising opposition to projects. Many projects are facing strong local opposition, for example the the 1gw project in Santiago do Cacém which has seen strong resistance from local organisations set up to oppose it.

Environmental protections. They are important and needed, but Portugal has very strong laws here and it is a big obstacle to renewable development.

Cork trees. Cork trees are worshipped, its even difficult to clear sapplings that are of no value or importance. It makes large swathes of land uneconomical for renewable development.

Despite the above, which (except for cork trees) aren’t unique to portugal, the country is doing well. It will be interesting to see the stats in the coming dryer years, as you say.

Depends on the definition intended, but other adjectives could probably describe it better.

Yes! I had totally forgotten about the instant pang of shock and anger I would feel when that happened.

I could see 3 out of 4 of them but I’m not colour blind…

Approximately how many men did you have to bum before you found the taste of cigarettes awful?

Problem solved!

It was horrible to watch. You make sensible suggestions in your post, I just think breed bans are the sort of knee jerk reactions that politicians love because it looks decisive and isn’t a difficult decision. Unlikely to achieve anything in the long run, the mastiff in this video isn’t even the breed that is getting banned.

The issue needs to be investigated, understood and properly addressed.

I’m not going to get into the dangerous dog breed debate. In my view it isn’t a coincidence that there were lots of warnings about the mass breeding and purchase of puppies during covid leading to a lack of socialisation and neglect, and what we are seeing 2 years on.

The dog ownership landscape changed during covid, quicker than any regulation could keep up.

It’s far from guaranteed, but it is a risk. The bigger problem is that national discourse has been dragged so far to the right that the alternative party (Labour) won’t be the breath of fresh air that we so desperately need.

I suspect there will now be a criminal investigation into manslaughter charges against the management. There was a lot of concerning evidence around your point during the trial but it is a process. The innaction that facilitated these murders sound like an absolute shambles.
