There’s a reason why Ding Dong the Witch is Dead almost made it to number 1 the week after she died.

I don’t get it. If you’re an immigrant who’s already made it to the EU, why would you want to go to England in the first place?

As a Brit, that’s better.

Jokes aside, here’s a couple of reasons I can think off the top of my head.

1. English is really common for people to speak as a second language. More likely to be drawn to a country where they have some chance of being able to communicate.

2. they may have friends or family already here (maybe who’ve chosen the UK due to point 1). People are far more likely to go somewhere where they already know people.

No.

Must do as I can see the post. Maybe there’s some kind of technical issue that causes the delay. Maybe reach out to the admins of . world?

UK. But it’s actually a German company. Everywhere I’ve worked has been pushy about you using your holiday though (managers obviously don’t want it to hit the end of the year and suddenly everyone wants to use it instead of loosing it) but the 75% almost as soon as it renews is the most extreme example I’ve come across.

It’s actually below the lizardman constant.

In 2013 a Public Policy Polling poll found

four percent of Americans believe lizardmen are running the Earth", which Alexander attributed to people giving a polling company an answer they did not really believe to be true, out of carelessness, politeness, anger, or amusement

My holiday year renews in April. If I’ve not got 75% of mine booked by June they moan at me everyday until I get it booked. I’m pretty sure that if I don’t book it up the policy is that they’ll just book me off (at times it suits them of course).

Sounds like your country has really shitty workers rights.

At my work if I don’t book at least 75% of my holiday days by like a month after renewal my boss starts to really moan at me.

The meme must be an American thing.

I was in my mother’s womb when Chernobyl was melting down.

Not a boomer, but as a Brit - the grey squirrel is an invasive species which has pretty much driven out the native red squirrel from most of the country. They also cause damage to trees through bark stripping.

A book.

Should we ban pubs from having car parks? Since the exhaust fumes are quite toxic.

No, but we should ban the sale of new ICE cars (and in so doing begin a complete phase out) for those reasons and because they’re damaging to the wider environment.

Oh, look we are.

Apparently this shift in strategy worked, since the company is still here.

$3,000,000,000,000 understatement.

Looks like around 8,000 Michael’s were born in 2023, so probably about another 4,000 so far this year. I’ll not sure at what age American’s start mutilating their children’s penises though, so I guess some of those might already be done.

Why would you use Google photos as your gallery if you’re not using the backup feature? It’s like the only reason to use it over a different gallery.

Women are a bit of a massive back to the max and the whole thing is the one I was thinking of you and the kids and the kids and the kids and the kids and the kids and the kids and the kids and the kids and the kids and the kids and the

You know I was going to put that first but couldn’t getting the spelling close enough for predictive text to pick up and didn’t want to randomly say “genital mutilation” to my phone while sat on the bus.

As others have pointed out, 40 year tech still beat current tech.
