I don't like the idea of MPs having private meetings with corpos at all. Unless it's discussion of something that would be a national security issue, I don't see why any meetings shouldn't all be on public record

Playing the original multiplayer was loads of fun! I hope this one is as good

If you see someone stealing food, no, you didn't.

I really think there should be some sort of disincentive to purchasing vehicles this large, increased taxes, insurance premiums, extra testing and licenses etc.

The main problem really is their height, if you get hit by a regular car, you're usually flung over the top, if your hit by one of these, due to the height of the bonnet you're probably going underneath it, which is going to be worse in the majority of cases.

I could understand owning one if you've got a big family and loads of dogs and work on a farm, or even if you're just a big fan of of off-roading, but if your massive 4x4 thing is clean and usually has less than 6 seats filled, you probably don't need one.

As a cyclist I have an extra grudge against them because they're so wide they never leave enough space when passing, more than once my bike has been forced into a pothole because I didn't have space to go around it. That and most drivers just fucking suck, I had a guy drive straight up onto the cycle path in front of me the other day because the road wasn't wide enough for him to do a 3 point turn, but he didn't look and nearly I nearly smashed right into him.

I shouldn't have to dodge 4x4s on the fucking cycle path. I'm still a little angry about that. While I'm having a moan, put your dog on a fucking lead, I've almost hit 2 dogs in the past month, one when a dog ran out into the road, and one where they ran out into the middle of the cycle path, both times because there weren't on a lead and their owners were paying no attention. It's really not my problem that you chose to have a dog nowhere near a park, the cycle path is not a fucking dog park.

The problem with Amazon is they will list and deliver any product under the sun, the organisation as a whole should have been forced to split by the Competition and Markets Authority years ago, but it wasn't and now they basically have a monopoly on online sales. So it depends on what you're after. Groceries? Try a supermarket like Tesco. Books? Try Waterstones. Electronics? Currys (awful though). Weird cables and adapters? Maplins still have a website.

I also had a look at Qobuz, but their tagging system is terrible, as a bandcamp user I'm kinda spoiled when I can look at and follow all the weird subgenre tags, Qobuz has "Metal" but no subgenres, and there's a whole bunch of "Metal" that just fuckin sucks, which makes discovering new stuff very difficult.

Teachers basically raise the next generation, they have a huge impact on the subjects kids become interested in, education is one of the most important things in society.

Teachers should be paid more, and they should be able to have a 40 hour work week, not 60 hours like most do now, and they shouldn't have to be buying the equipment they need to do their jobs themselves.

National Education Service please!

In the UK, not a fan of tea or coffee. I rarely use caffeine at all, but there are some days where I'm falling asleep at my desk and I need something.

Any recommendations?
