winegums posted:SNP is a wide church. There are those in the SNP who are little Scotlanders and just want us to close the borders and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist. However there's also the group who think that Scotland's political leaning are just too far removed from the rest of the UK to make a difference. Despite us being quite left wing overall we are ruled over by right or centre-right parties year after year. Scotland has voted with the majority party in every post-war General Election bar two.

EmptyVessel posted:Ehh, close but no. Buckfast was invented by Benedictine monks - several monastic schools have long histories with making strong wines and beers as everyone here probably knows. This is complete and utter horseshit. Buckfast Abbey didn't even brew tonic wine until the 1890s and it wasn't until it was licensed out by the Abbey in the late 20s that production went above 1000 litres a year - two thirds of which was sold at the Abbey gates. Buckfast is the drinking problem of choice in the Central Belt because it's cheap as dirt and has more caffeine than Red Bull. That's it.

ThomasPaine posted:I don't understand why a southern English drink is so exclusively linked to deprived Scottish areas though. Sure it's strong and cheap, but it's rare you find a bottle for sale in poor bits of Newcastle or Manchester etc (or even London) which you'd think you would if they were the only factors at play. If you base your drinking choices on anything other than bang per buck it's going to be what you see other people drinking, which was at the time more likely to be local brands. Underage drinkers from bad areas are also more likely to see people drinking in the street than indoors. In Newcastle and Manchester a teenager wanting to get blitzed could go into an off-licence and get a pack of a cheap local brand like Newkie Brown or Boddies. The big local brands in the Central Belt during the period when the neds discovered Buckie were pub ales like McEwan's and Younger's, which you wouldn't find being drunk in the street, and spirits that were more expensive than they could afford. E: regarding the cost of Buckfast, it was jacked up a few years ago to try and take it upmarket. hookerbot, you may be able to get a few bottles of plonk for the cost of a bottle of Buckfast, but plonk is not a bottle of double-espresso Jagerbomb. Also wine is posh. Jedit fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Mar 8, 2015 |

Sorry for the double-post, I wanted to separate business from pleasure.Zephro posted:Late to the party here but large swathes of Japan use bottled LPG and they don't seem to have a problem with fires, so it's probably fine. I analysed liquid heating fuels prices a few years ago and found it was always cheaper to top up as you went than to empty the tank and buy with bulk discount. Here's a chart of kerosene prices from 2009 to date:  (Note that everything after September 2013 should be roughly 5.5p/litre higher, as that's when they stopped folding supplier margins into the base price.) There are small seasonal drops, but on the whole they are outweighed by increases in the base price of oil.

After all the campaigning and righteous fury that he put into right to die it feels like a betrayal of his beliefs and who he was if he got taken out before he could make that decision.

No, gently caress the pair of you. Pterry didn't want to die; he wanted the right to choose death if life became too hard to bear. It never did, and for that we should be glad - not wishing further pain on him and anyone who had to watch him decline for the sake of a political point.

Kegluneq posted:That's nice, except you actually complained about people politicising his death; something he did very vocally himself in life. No, he politicised his life. The focus of the Right To Die campaign is that each man's life is his own possession, and so he should have the right to relinquish it if he wishes. For some people that point comes after the point where they could take matters into their own hands, and that is why the RTDs feel it should not be a crime to spare someone further pain if they have made their wishes clearly known. E: Let's lighten the mood a bit.
