Buckfast isn't really something that gets marketed in Scotland, as far as I've ever seen. It's more just garnered that reputation as a drink that will get you buzzed on a night out…

Yeah but people get upset when you point the fact out to them, sometimes. Bubbles are what OTHER people inhabit, see. We're all special and unique free-thinkers immune to unconscio…

Thanks, I was needing to feel a little better about the state of my country's government right now and this did the trick.

I can only speak for UK contractors/companies, but most of these guys will immediately close ranks on you if you try and pull this. The guys at the lower end of the chain won't wan…

I'd imagine that's true on both counts, but with these things it's notoriously difficult to prove. You'd have to prove that the contractor knew about the damage, didn't do anything…

See, I used to make jokes about the Fun Police in this country. But it seems a lot less funny, these days.

"TECH GIANTS HATE HIM."

This is from earlier this year, so the debate may have progressed since then, but Sweden and Denmarks' concerns seem to stem from the way in which the EU aims to apply the tax. >“A…

I didn't even need to click the link to know that Ireland was gonna be one of the three. It's like they have a vested interest, or something.

Mossad aren't exactly known for being subtle. Just look at the way they took out the guy they mistook Ahmed Bouchikhi for. Sure, they got their man... along with his four bodyguard…

I was born after the Berlin wall came down, so I got to miss all the fun of living under constant threat of looming nuclear annihilation, but Threads still had a profound effect on…

If you only ever read one book on slavery and the abolitionist movement, it really ought to be 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass'. I can remember reading it for the firs…

By "people of Saudi Arabia", he's meaning the rich elites and the princes. I lived in that country for a couple of years. The wealth gap there is truly staggering.

Glasgow's got a pretty long and storied history when it comes to trade union and leftist movements. Not to mention the fact that Glasweigans are generally pretty straight-talking, …

Which is a real shame, all things considered. I feel like the author is latching onto some of the most extreme examples of the worst Reddit's ever had to offer and then holding the…

The author has clearly never ventured onto 8chan. Which is probably just as well, given how they found ye olde Reddit bad enough.

Honestly, I preferred the manga to the anime. Not to say that the latter is bad, by any stretch of the imagination, but it did get a bit wild and off-the-rails with it's final arc.…

There's some rumblings about this improving, but as with a lot of things in the UK the current government is walking a tightrope in terms of funding (they've got to keep a lot of s…

There's a pretty great manga series (and an anime adaptation, though it's not as good) called 'Planetes', that takes a pretty heavy focus on Kessler Syndrome and humanity's attempt…

>...in order to have a constructive discussion with the author. Yeah, I think I've seen a few of those. Nothing says constructive discussion like death threats.

I think it's pretty telling as to what sort of person I am, that I initially read the title as "How the 1,500 Hit Point Koenigsegg Regara" rather than "How the 1,500 Horse Power Ko…

Orkney and the Shetland Isles are actually some of the wealthiest regions of the UK, so it makes sense that they might be able to get something like this off the ground.

Yeah, I'm probably giving them the benefit of the doubt in assuming that they're being stupid rather than outright malicious. The same is likely true here in the UK, given that the…

I know Australians like to joke about how they have an Old Man Government that likes to pass legislation about things it doesn't really understand, but even by the lofty standards …
