Reply | Ideas for a birthday gift for my, soon to be, 18 year old daughter
at 16:57 6 Feb 2025
I'm not in the UK, so was hard for me to gauge if £400 would be enough - I didn't think it would. I think I put in a radius of 100 miles from Ipswich and it listed 48 cars below £500 which did surprise me.
I forgot insurance is compulsory there? It's a choice in my country.
What do you think would be the min you could spend to get a car for a 1st time 18yo driver? |

You'll know her better than anyone here, but if stuck for ideas, I get it.
But if she's doing her driving lessons, more practical than a handbag or license plate would be an actual car for £400?
I've been out the country too long to know what the used car market is like in the UK - but this looks OK as a 1st car? (Assuming she does not already have a car.) What am I missing? 18 is the right age for your 1st car, and when I got mine.

Makes sense I guess, thanks. Well at least as far as anything can makes sense in the ludicrous business of transfers. I'm sure it used to be a lot easier before any of this buy back/sell on clause nonsense. |

"Sounds like he didn't want to go back to Villa in the summer but was forced"
Not sure if I'm missing your point, but am sure no player is ever forced - it would have been a choice. |

No - watching it once was hard enough. Feel terrible for the lad. You know he wants to impress and this will haunt him for a while no doubt. Saw a few shocking comments in chat during the match 'Go back to Iraq' etc.
Not cool - we should be supportive of any of our players that gives 100% even if they're not ready yet. I hope he one day silences his critics and becomes an important part of our team. |

You are easily the most dishonest poster here GB. You make this website so unpleasant at times I'd not miss it if just saying that gets me banned.
I can't think of a single day in the last week where you have not convinced yourself that someone is antisemitic and gone on dishonest rampages throwing around foul accusations. [Post edited 17 Nov 2024 9:25]

"The op will no doubt claim these actions were legitimate criticism of Israel."
Still doing your thing I see GB. Barely veiled accusations of antisemitism, despite the OP making no mention of the violence in Amsterdam whatsoever. Yet again, you've put a suggestion against what you are sure the OP must be thinking? You really should stop doing that if you want to be taken seriously.
You also seem to have drawn up conclusions as to who did what to who last night - maybe we should wait for an investigation or more details? |

Here's a thought:
What would you say - if the orange clown actually negotiated peace in Russia/Ukraine? Or - and it's a stretch - got Israel to enter a ceasefire? I mean - unlikely sure - but those are such important problems effecting so many people negatively, that we should celebrate the outcome even if we hate who got us there? |

I think there are subtle differences - for example gouging is usually related to price increases during emergencies . And - already (mostly) illegal.
So it just seems a strange and almost insulting way to drum up support from people feeling the effects of inflation. |

"But would appealing to them have endangered more votes?"
Maybe - and maybe why they tried to sweep it aside. However - if this was the reason, then I believe they miscalculated. I mean - how can so many people be complicit or unbothered by it? Somehow that would make it worse for me if true.
I think I phrased it badly saying "Gaza is the biggest issue". I really meant the biggest issue that was ignored, if that makes sense.
It's true that the economy was a major issue, and she tried to address that.
But - the line "We'll stop the price gouging!" just seemed so weak... I mean - ffs - that should already be illegal, not exactly a winning catch phrase.
I felt a bit of enthusiasm for her initially despite thinking they should have retired Biden earlier and held a primary. I also liked Walz initially, but damn, they got boring very quickly. They gambled and lost. Whitmer had a better chance of winning imo. Another thing that drove me nuts - when asked almost anything on policy - she avoided answers with "But trump..." Grr - tell us what you are, not what you are not. |

I agree - not the top three issues - and only a minority that feel angered by their foreign policy - but maybe just enough to scupper the election. |

I think that was a false narrative - but only time will tell. The whole "but trump would be worse" was dishonest and not as helpful to the Harris cause as the Dems thought it would be.
In many electoral systems, especially those dominated by two major parties, voting for the lesser of two evils can lead to a lack of diversity in political representation. This can reinforce the status quo and limit the emergence of new ideas or candidates leading to voter disillusionment.
Voters became disillusioned because their choices did not align with their values. This discontent can lead to decreased voter turnout, which may further entrench undesirable candidates or policies in power - and I'm sure is what we're seeing. Only an opinion, but one I know I'm not alone on. There are many many people on x, reddit, YT, IG and TT saying the same. Some false sure - some trolls sure, some foreign bad actors - but there are also a LOT of young people that have been seeing what is going on over there, and feel ignored.
Also:
1) Trump is isolationist and has already said today, that from now on the USA will come first and the only thing that matters.
2) A Michigan Jewish poll just the other day said that Harris is better for Israel's war effort, and why she should be supported (although Trump was seen as more friendly to Israeli's, is not seen as big a supporter of their war as the Dems.)
3) I believe the question has been swept under the rug in polls and is always brushed aside on CNN and MSNBC, but I see 1000's of Americans angry online about the issue.
4) How much worse could Trump really be for Gaza? Biden, apart from a bit of lip service has been aiding Netanyahu unilaterally - without congressional approval in most cases.
I really think the Dems fkd up this time with their arrogance - just like HC did. |

To me, it feels more like the Dems LOST more than it was Trump winning. I felt she was in trouble the moment she told anti-genocide protestors "I'm speaking now!"
She tried to sweep that under the carpet - and will continue to do so, but the Dems need to take a long and hard look at themselves. They should start by asking how rotten must an administration be, if they're able to lose to Trump?
I can see that many Americans are able to look away at what is happening there, and seem surprised that some are unable to look the other way. You'll hear nothing about that on CNN or MSNBC - and that is part of the problem. Look anywhere on social media to realise that sanctioned/aided genocide is THE major issue. |
