    I won't argue with that

    Well stopping for passengers takes time - buses have schedules to meet, you know!

  4. Your logic means someone can come take whatever from whoever as long as they are bigger. I'm not sure I'm down with that.

    Why do you hate America?

  5. Most drivers can't drive.

    I don't know, if active comma avoidance is, available for your vehicle but if, it is you, should get it.

  7. "I would rather shovel sludge in sewers then work in sales or marketing"

    Great. So go do it.

    You mean go do them. Because apparently he's going to both sequentially.

    I'd do them in the other order, personally.

  8. Equality of outcomes is usually determined on an individual basis.

    Ah, so that explains why I'm exactly equal to me.

  9. That isn't justified when science is telling us that it's mostly social, with only a tiny and often insignificant part being biological.

    Is science telling us that?

  10. There is much debate over how much boys maturing a little later than girls is due to biology or social influences

    I'm failing to see how social influences could control hormone production.

    What's next? The Great Red Spot on Jupiter "shouldn't" be there?

    According to some reports it's shrinking, so you might be right. In more ways than one.

  13. Version 2.0 allows users to sync data, including bookmarks, passwords, autofill information, and history. Vivaldi uses its own servers to store the data

    Fuck that. Why can't I sync it to my usb drive?

    Without frigging about at the OS level, I mean.

  14. Firefox works if your OS is more than a year old, so that's one.

    Did you see the recent episode of Question Time from Dewsbury? I grew up not far from there and frankly I'm thinking about developing a Scouse or maybe Brummie accent to avoid the stigma of being associated with such a bunch of thick ignorant cunts.

    But froth froth sovereignty! Froth froth get behind the leader!

    The fact that we haven't had that since the yanks told us we couldn't invade Suez seems to pass them by. As for getting behind the leader, that's what lemmings do.

    There are some interesting things though, particularly the emphasis on goods rather than services. The UK is largely a financial service economy so that will effectively heavily boos the goods side relative to the services side.

    I don't see that. It won't make, say, our carmakers any better than they already are, but we could still lose huge amounts of jobs and the related tax revenue from financial companies moving - which is already happening.

    Referring back to QT, there was a woman on the panel who was the first to say it publicly AFAIK - what the people voted for is irrelevant it if it can't actually be done.

    As to all those deals we'll be able to do, India (one of the most protectionist countries there is) told her to go pound sand last year and she's been reduced to trying to flog weapons to those lovely Turks and Saudis.
