TET: I Have Such Poor Eyesight I Can Date Anybody

[Luxew]

WHOO! NEW YEAR'S EVE!

Calm down. No need to spray people with champagne yet.

[Gairvuu]

What's the technical limit?

500; we still go over it.

I would have thought it auto locks

[Soldati Senza Confini]

It is a self-imposed limit though. We have spilled over several times in the past.

What's the technical limit?

There's no technical limit.

The reason why it's only 500 is because a thread going over 500 makes a unnecessary load onto the server, and as such mods are very vigilant it doesn't go over by that much.

WHOO! NEW YEAR'S EVE!

CC!

Happy New Year beforehand

Solda!

Same to you buddy!

[Tagmatium]

Yep.

I'm quite a clumsy person.

Would you join a party with these views? :flat 20% income tax for people and corporations alike, with all loopholes /stacking tax breaks removed. Sects of nationalised industry (i.e fork factorys), PR voting,proportional welfare spending (with 100k per 1k citizen?) between constituent parts of the UK (Scotland, England, etc etc) indifferent to Scottish independance, Willing to promote new technologies such as fracking, nuclear fusion research and hydrogen power.

Probably, to some extent.

I'd like to see things like power, water and gas nationalised, perhaps alongside the rail network. I would also be for significantly larger investment within the rail network, if only to take the strain of the nation's roads by reducing the amount of heavy goods vehicles on them.

Oh, and probably something like driving licenses for cyclists. Too many of them seem to be either entirely ignorant of the rules of the road, assume it doesn't apply to them or cherry-pick the bits they like.

Yeah, that was not the comprehensive list of my ideals. Vat would no longer exist either. By setting fair taxes, hopefully more people will pay them, and by removing tax breaks for corporations, we should recoup the income.

*dumps a champagne bottle on you*

It's just that I like going into Boston for it with my sister.
We've enjoyed it the last few years.

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé, (bis)
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras
Égorger vos fils, vos compagnes !

Aux armes, citoyens,
Formez vos bataillons,
Marchons, marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !

[Tagmatium]

Be that as it may, I suspect there needs to be a level of self-policing - community policing, if you will - to attempt to scale back on the RPing and spamming within this thread and its inevitable successors.

moderation is inconsisntent of this. sometimes they ask for self policing, sometimes they say let us handle it.

Isn't that the same thing?

Nah - in all likelihood, they'd continue to do what they do now.

Dodge them like motherfuckers.

The only reason they can do that though is loopholes through tax breaks, because they work differently , I.e £6600 off tax if you do X and 66% off tax if you do N, which stack meaning it's possible to pay virtually no tax.

my bad, i changed point of view

...let them handle it

Not only that but also 60% corporation tax is silly. It's only there so it LOOKS like the government is doing anything. Fucking daily mail pressure groups, the cause if all our woes...

The Little Englanders are effectively plotting to destroy the UK.

Every single action being done by our government is meaningless,short term, and a bitch to repeal. Just to appease some middle class, middle aged twat in leistershire

More like the Home Counties, really.

But then if any government these days really tried to enact any long term reforms, it would make them look like they were doing fuck-all in the short term and therefore make them lose the next general.

Both cyclists and drivers need teaching how to act around the other. I'm a perfectly respectable cyclist who only occasionally forgets to indicate because I'm tired or distracted by some thundercunt tailgating me. That said, it is true that a lot of cyclists are also thundercunts.

And it's funny you should say that about the railways - the Government is trying to find buyers for the East Coast tail line, which I believe is the only remaining nationalised rail line. It made consecutive losses before the Government bought it, since when it hasn't made a loss at all and made a £209m profit last year.

You know your country is bad when your seriously considering founding your own party, repealing every law, revising everything, changing name and changing the election system entirely .

I wake up and I'm still not banned. I'm highly disappointed.

First time anyone has ever said that...
