The Off Topic Topic

My understanding is that this is quite common in UK, and it is indeed a pain in the ass to look for employees, because you have to wait for a long time for them to come over even after they accept your offer.

Will see what they'll tell her today.

One reason this whole thing smells fishy for me is that they are planning to switch the site for 24 hours operation. Who knows what other surprises they have up their sleeves that they first want to make sure people have a harder time leaving.

The model prince's mother, now only a countess after the divorce, has released a single. It's heavily inspired by MØ and predictably horrible but I like that they're diversifying.

Final indictments for the UDI trial are in:

- State prosecutor asks 25 years for the former Catalan vice-president, 13-17 for those deemed to have had a leading role in the referendum, all with rebellion charges. The rest get lesser charges or fines

- The State Attorney drops rebellion for sedition, which doesn't require violence ( just riots), and asks for roughly half the prison time.

The State Attorney directly represents the Madrid government, while the State Prosecutor represents the State and is the "regular" prosecutor.

Personally I think the State Attorney is closer to what it should be, me not being a lawyer and all. Trial is expected to start in January.

Trying to decipher my UK driving licence, no something I look at from one decade to the next, so hence doubling confusing.

I appears I can legal drive trucks upto 7.5 tonnes along with an upto 4.5 tonnes trailer, not sure I'd be confident to drive something like that nowadays.

The motorbike section is also a bit odd, along with being allowed to ride small motorbikes, I've got an A category, which on the face of it allow all sized engined bikes, but on closer inspection has a note (79 tri), which I think means I can ride any size trike, but not any engined motorbike.

I'm sure you don't need a license to drive a tricycle.

It's the UK.  You need a license just to own a TV there.

Incorrect.

You need a license to use a TV here

Yes, I remember looking at some UK licenses and thought they put that rather oddly.
