I suspect much of the swing to Reform can be accounted for by them getting out the people who never usually vote, at least not in local elections. Based on what I've been reading this morning, most areas seem to be showing a significiant increase in turnout, in my council (Dudley), turnout is up...

They've definitely been prepping for that on social media. I've seen numerous Facebook posts the past week from Reform supporters and Reform branded groups telling people to take their own pens instead of using the supplied pencils at polling stations in order to prevent their ballot papers...

Just Labour and Reform here in what's historically a safe Tory ward.

One area I've found AI can actually be good for is explaining what a block of code does in plain English, especially useful when you've inherited someone else's code and need to troubleshoot.

I use AI at work a fair bit when I'm having problems with Python code, it has it's uses but can't be relied upon. Where the problem is a rookie mistake like incorrect syntax, AI is incredibly useful and generally reliable, for complex problems it's far more hit and miss. As an example, if I...

Also: Dorridge instead of Solihul Four Oaks instead of Sutton Coldfield Whitlocks End instead of Shirley Historically you could possibly make a case for: Hednesford instead of Cannock Longbridge instead of Northfield And further afield: Poole instead of Bournemouth (for loco hauled cross...

Which would be especially painful for Hearts as it'd be their 3rd time losing the league title on that basis. In 1986 they missed out on goal difference, in 1965 on goal average. More galling is the fact that if goal difference had been the deciding factor in 1965 and goal average in 1986, they...

It could be a colourised B&W photo, not uncommon for the process to exagerate bright patches and the colours do look very vivid generally.

But can you register if you're just visting the UK, if not it is in effect a tourist tax like the NYC one mentioned earlier. When we were touring California a couple of years ago we bought a fair bit of food and drink from CVS where there was two tier loyalty card/regular pricing, but to...

Sainsburys still do them, at least a dozen different types of loaf, and they seem to be pretty good sellers. By 9pm (when I usually shop) there's generally only a handful left, if I want a loaf I make a point of going closer to 6pm. My local Tesco goes one better worse and splits them across 3...

And that actually underplays how woeful Spurs are atm. In the past 13 games it's: 18 - West Ham 18 - Forest 17 - Leeds 4 - Spurs and for added context: 11 - Wolves 8 - Burnley

I don't think it was just HSTs. IIRC the smoking coach on the WCML Inter City loco hauled services in the late 80s/90s was also coach B.

While you could make an argument for calling them ideological wars (though I'd say they were just plain old wars of conquest for territory and resources), it was a political ideology, religion or lack or religion wasn't a factor.

The fact a number of senior Generals and Admirals were sacked by Hegseth a few days ago (I'm going out on a limb and suggesting it was because they couldn't be relied upon to blindly follow bonkers and/or outright illegal orders) doesn't bode well in that regard.

As an aside, since the move to squad numbering, has that ever happened? Most clubs will have players assigned shirt numbers 1 to 11, often (but not always) playing in positions traditionally associated with the numbers so it's theoretically possible.

As already mentioned, that wasn't on the ballot paper, and if leave voters were really thinking that, it only reinforces the stereotype of the average leave voter not being too bright, being happy to trade the partnership of equals that is the EU for becoming the compliant lapdog of the US.

If it's a fairly long winded question, in those circumstance I'd start with something along the lines of "Hi, are you available atm, I've an urgent query about X" The person I referred to in my last comment does it for every teams message, regardless of urgency or subject.

Yes! Someone in my team at work has the annoying habit of doing that.

They missed a trick there in not pricing it at 125p :lol:

I like the idea of owning a classic car, it's reality of regular tinkering to keep them going which puts me off. Setting that aside for a moment: Jensen Interceptor Rover SD1 Ford Scorpio - yes, the mid 90s frog eyed one Citroen DS
