  And then fitted flue gas desulphurisation equipment to clean up the emissions to burn the cheap brown coal that had the higher sulphur content, to make the emissions equivalent to the expensive Welsh stuff.

  I was always behind the curve of whatever the core game was on wow, so I was always trying to catch up to the guys who introduced me to it, never really had the time to do endgame stuff with them, because of having two little kids. By the time WOTLK dropped, I was PUGing a DK all the time because I was nowhere near the endgame where my buddies were. After that I became incredibly casual. Just questing the storyline of wherever I was. Dropped it and came back in classic. When Cata dropped on classic, with no era to play on with, and again, I was no where near cap the whole second time around I unsubbed. I have just rolled a PS and intend to casually bum around until my server falls over and I’ve maxxed out every char and class I want to.

  Never heard of or seen that, but it makes me think of the ‘magic roundabout’ concept

  I’m sure you replied to the wrong comment, but the other poster said it already, multiply by 14 to get the US standard way to describe weight.

  Because he uses butter as improvised lube and quite forcefully sodomises her, which is why I thought the cable port that looks like the arsehole on a dockyard cat, with an inset of Brando, was meaning, yep - buggered hard.

  It’s a reference to “last tango in paris”?

  Ford build nothing in the UK anymore, I could not care what their opinion is on this issue. Toyota on the other hand are being flexible, support working with whatever is current guidance whether well advised or not, and crucially: employ people in the U.K. building vehicles here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keir Starmer set to reject EU overtures to join revamped bloc as 'non-starter'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Started because of the 70s Three day working week to manage the rolling power cuts, miners strikes fuel crisis, then tortured by thatcher who was set to nuke the unions of the face of the planet. Blues hate working class, reds hate anyone who makes profits, and each are scared the other will do those 70s and 80s things again and again. Nevermind that Blair’s Labour was a middle right party, and nothing like the Red Ken memories of Labour past, and it seems like tories have moved out to the right while Labour have moved into their old chairs. I don’t know what SDP liberals stand for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young people ditching ambitions over UK cost of living crisis, research finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone can go, but there are fees. If you can’t afford the fees or the living costs you can get a means tested student loan. They copied the US model and the costs are slowly getting in that direction. I graduated in the early 90’s when grants were still a thing, but they froze them so they didn’t rise with inflation any longer and you could get ‘top up loans’ to bridge the gap to cost of living. I think I borrowed something like £750. But it was the beginning of the end of free higher education here.

  Still using an iPhone X abs the only things in your list that interest me are faster charging and LiDAR. But nothing to do with portraits; I want it for 3D scanning objects for CAD models for 3D printing. But I’d use it maybe a few times a year.

  I happened to be on the Homecare service, and I started an online chat with them to improve the discount and got sent the new hub for free. So it means I get a couple of years to plan my connected lights and hearing stern away from them without it being a today problem. Glad I never went beyond a smart lightbulb that was on special offer at the time with them.
