You mean the same civil service that was against Brexit from the start, still tries to justify it being a bad idea? Amazing. You even didn't include the paragraph prior to your quote: "It's also clear UK services exports - su

Brexit was around the same time as COVID, so hard to split the two. >> It's also way higher than it ever was back when Britain was monoracial. Yes, but the immigration model has changed. It used to be "let the best and brigh

I remember when Tony Blair was elected and Gordon Brown proudly proclaimed "An end to boom and bust economics". I don't think many people realised this would be continuous bust with no boom ever.

Someone is going to have to, but currently as much as immigration is raising the UK population, GDP per person is declining.

In the UK, the one bird I love overall for its song is the blackbird. Best bit of the dawn chorus and the first one of the year lets me know Spring/Summer is on the way. I think everyone in the UK thinks fondly of robins, and has negat

That's the good thing about conspiracy theories. Hard to falsify.

Thank you for giving the current state, post recent elections. Rather than a selective memory, perhaps you could recall when people were getting booted off social media and fact checked for daring to claim that COVID could have been man mad

Fair enough. I don't think I heard anyone mention it after the millenium though, other than "It's legacy, get rid."

In the 90s, the only two databases you really heard about (at least in my industry, banking) were Sybase and Oracle. Where is Sybase now? I'm not a dba, but Oracle was effectively the default, and it worked reliably and did what you ne

The geese we put to bed every night, and let out in the morning so they are generally locked away when a fox would come. A friend of ours has about 15 geese and pretty sure they have lost goslings to foxes. They good at deterring delivery d

We do take our geese to the vet. They don't have names, but they live for 40 years. Not sure why that is a factor but it definitely is.

>>You yourself have probably already developed that skill to some extent and might be able to identify “strange” behaviour is specific individual chickens. That might be hard to do with a flock of 20. If they were pets the calculation

I think it is the distinction between "livestock" and "pets". I would also be very surprised if any vets ever managed to treat a hen successfully. They tend to hide any illness until very sick.

by gadders 2y ago
There is some paperwork now in that you have to register your flock. I dread the day though that we are told to kill our hens because of an outbreak. It was bad enough keeping them undercover for one winter.

I've had chickens for probably 15 years now, starting with 3 and ending up with about 20 (mixture of hybrids, pedigrees and rescued battery/farmed hens) and 2 geese. This happens a lot with chickens. Chickens are a gateway drug to

I think the description I gave is consistent with the one used when Democrats get the "majority" of the vote. You can sealion the definition as much as you like, but it won't make you right. The result feels as much the will

Also ironic to nit pick about Trump not having a majority and then quote a poll that queried only 2800 people.

Pointless pedantry. I think you know what is meant by a majority in an election. He won the popular vote. I'm obviously not including toddlers etc in my statement.
