This will be a welcome move if it let’s people get better control of their energy. I think someone has posted on here about their smart home setup that allows them to monitor their green energy production and usage.

My previous house was a Victorian semi that had cavity walls. I phoned up about a green grant to get it done (as people two doors down had) and they wouldn’t believe me until they checked Google Earth. Had it surveyed and it would have needed a lot of preparation work to get into a condition that it could have been insulated. Ended moving and I am unsure what the new owners have done on that front - not flash enough to make their Instagram account about renovating the house which I have been advised not to read as they are horrible people with bad taste. Although I get the gist as it often gets commented on at parties, especially as a friend’s brother-in-law did the bathrooms.

That sounds like a real rollercoaster ride of a weekend!

Glad I locked in a 18 month energy deal but I am wondering if I should have gone for 2 years.

Can’t seem to get volume there, might as well go to TikTok for his Easter Chinese.

edit: And the St George’s Day video.

That’d definitely be cooler than the reality.

I was born in a European country much further to the east, escaped when there were soldiers on the street, ended up arriving in Britain not far from Whitby and have issues with sunlight, so…

(Your link is a bit malformed)

Ah yes, the Lemmy UI goes a bit sideways when you try and post a new link into existing markup.

I wonder if the police were right, and he had been (perhaps sexually) assaulted, but it was the 70s and men couldn’t quite talk about that, or something.

Ufology is interesting, but because it may be more about us than aliens.

That could definitely be a reason (my grandfather was gay in a time when it just wasn’t possible to be open about it and it seriously impacted his life) although the damage to his trousers is unusual. I suspect the temporal lobe epilepsy explanation is right and he may have stumbled into a barbed wire fence or thorn bush.

Flying rabbit obviously.

Cosplay Parliament.

When I used to go to mass, we’d be told we were eating the body of Jesus and drinking his blood. And they were not as delicious as lamb.

I like to think it landed gently in a cabbage field, only lightly singed, wondered what the Hell just happened and it continued on with it’s day doing rabbit stuff.

I do sometimes wonder if some of the weirder UFO encounters, like this, might have a similar explanation.

Liverpool. Contrary to popular belief, there are quite a few thieves about.

Really? I haven’t been to a supermarket without one in years. Perhaps it’s a Liverpool thing.

Explains my lack of Easter eggs this year.

Retail workers aren’t paid enough to deal with some self important asshole who thinks that screaming at people through a megaphone is their right.

That’s what the security guard is there for.

I was going to say it is up to the Mods to define the scope of a community but there aren’t any.

I’d suggest this forum is a different beast to an XFM community but you can definitely discuss his radio show here.

There’s this show that no-one is talking about: Adolescence.

Two episodes into Doctor Who and it is a mixed bag - first episode was bad, second was great.

Daredevil started strongly but Andor starts today, so I’ll be hammering through that.

there are also online tutorials which have prompted amateurs to carry out DIY interventions, with disastrous consequences.

You really can learn anything on YouTube.

I must admit, I was expecting it to be terrible but it is one of the Rock’s best films of recent years. Damning with faint praise but still praise.

Pull the other one, it’s got bells on.
