If you enjoy a game, it's a good game.

It doesn't matter what anyone else says or thinks. What matters is that you are enjoying yourself.

Watching Captain America: The First Avenger.

So weird seeing part of Manchester in the film doubling up as Brooklyn in the 1940s.

To this day there are still bits of the set dressing (posters etc) that can seen on some of the buildings.

I'd say that if at 20 years old you already have enough cash to hand to max out a Cash ISA, your future is probably alright.
Josh Hall, 20, is 'worried' about how the cash ISA allowance cut announced in Wednesday’s Budget will affect his long-term savings plans

Having rewatched it, it gets worse. He bemoans that everyone who has kids can claim child benefit and receive it even if they don't actually need it.... But I guarantee he wouldn't say that those pensioners who get the state pension but don't need it thanks to their private pensions and accrued /1
This "Conservative activist" is the prime example of the selfishness and disingenuousness of the Right wing. He refuses to listen, and keeps insisting that he knows best.

If I ever met this man, I'd break my personal vow of pacifism. He deserves a good kicking for his nastiness.

35 years ago, Ocean was advertising its generally excellent ports of Pang with what looks like fabulous Bob Wakelin art. Loved the original arcade version of this. A real classic.

If you've paid "millions" in tax, you've earned many millions more than you've paid in. An extra few grand a year shouldn't "ruin" your retirement at all. So I call "bullshit" on this guys claim.
Just cancel your Netflix subscription and stop buying avocados. You'll be fine

If you're UK-based, 18+ and -75, have no criminal convictions or bankruptcies and aren't a cretin, please consider applying.

It's 18 days volunteering a year, with training and basic expenses. It's typically a role filled with the elderly and wealthy, so it skews rightward and that needs fixing.
Right, made the start to becoming a Magistrate. Just have to wait on a date to visit court and learn about everything, then pass background checks.

Biggest problem will likely be that I'm a Parish Cllr, or that my family are full of prison officers, specialists and professional witnesses.

As suspected, it's a steaming pile of shite.

When self proclaimed "Christians" say helping the poor is "unchristian", you know it's just another cloak thewy wear to garner support.

Errr, I'm pretty sure Jesus spends a lot of the stories about him in the Bible helping the needy and striking out against the elite.

Or did I read a different book?

Always interesting to see our niche little hobby space described to the wider world. Barring frequent mentions of a game called simply “40,000” this is pretty well done!

I don’t really get the whole Black Friday thing, but I will just remind those of you who are shopping today that #books make perfect gifts.

Black Friday? Maybe Black Metal Friday!

Definitely feels like an Emperor/Mayhem kinda day.

There is literally no good reason for anyone in the UK to have to live in poverty.

The reason that people so is the greed & avarice of the few. The 1% who want to hoard wealth that they couldn't possibly ever spend in their, or their childrens lifetimes. It's literally hoarding for the sake of it.

It really makes me sad and angry that there are those out there who view spending money to bring CHILDREN out of poverty as a waste of resources.

We live in a wealthy, "First World" country. No one, least of all CHILDREN should be living in poverty. And if you think they should because "reasons"...
