England is in the midst of the Hundred Years war with France and considering I’m ~193cm and the average height of a man in England in the 14th century is about 171cm… looks like in getting my arse drafted and shipped off to France, to act as some kind of intimidating presence. That is until I have to swing a sword, which my body, that’s used to sitting in an office looking over excel spreadsheets, absolutely can’t do, so I get bum rushed/hit in the face with an arrow and die.

That’s the most likely scenario.

Worst case scenario, considering I don’t speak middle English or Latin, I’m treated as an enemy and locked up in a dungeon somewhere.

I don’t think there is realistically a best case scenario

So not a truely European replacement for Amazon.

Bol was great while I lived in NL, but now I’ve left, I’m struggling to find a good replacement

I just scrolled Facebook, and out of the 44 posts I came across 10 were from friends or pages I had liked. The rest was sponsored slop, or “you should follow this person” type posts.

No wonder the social interaction is down, when less than a quarter of posts I come across are from the reason to have Facebook.

I’m not friends with corporations, so don’t push me their shit.

Prime Facebook was 2007 - 2011/12. When they started algorithm-ing friends posts, that heralded the end. I don’t care that I haven’t interacted with friend XYZ for a long while, I’m still interested in seeing their stuff equally as much as friend ABC who I interact with daily

I thought Bol only serviced Belgium and Netherlands?

TIL

Ahhh, OK, thanks. I saw the +1 and assumed that was the American dialing code, like how UK is +44

I assume because it’s coming from an American number?

I’m not 100% sure though

So was he promoted or fired by the man upstairs?

No idea tbh

EU should freeze the funds intended for Hungary, and then see how quickly their tune changes

Jesus

Privatising the profits, and getting the tax payer to fund the upkeep… name something more Thatcher-esq

Thanks for clarifying

Uk has a weird system. The government owns the tracks and rails, but private companies own “the stock”, aka the physical trains.

I think GBR is the parent company that owns the rail. I could be wrong, but this is what I remember from looking into it a few years back

Now do the same with water and rail companies

FIFA isn’t the only one guilty of this. Eurovision also have the same double standard. Russia banned from competing straight away, meanwhile Israel weren’t banned last year, despite much complaining.

Then again, Eurovision’s main sponsor is an Israeli company.

That’s penne, not a noodle

Thank goodness it’s not just mine

3 days into the be school year… it’s that a record?

Thanks for the video, very informative
