I thought that is kind of what Quakers are?

I think if any Australians see you you are in deep trouble!

This could be a slippery slope for me ... I don't even use a torch

Have been using the Sync reddit app daily for years after paying a couple of quid to remove ads whenever I did that. Felt like a steal then and expensive now so, on balance, I'm comfortable having paid the ad randsome. I feel better knowing it all goes to the developer for his personal efforts.

What do I know better?

I don't really like this take. The death penalty isn't cultural and people who oppose it are free to vocalise it. Singaporean culture is great because it is a unique melting pot of many different cultures, the death penalty is a legal matter and isn't drawn from the composite cultures of the people that live there.

you can't disagree with the results

It's the third hanging this week for drugs offenses so it would seem that the policy isn't completely effective

the people there feel it is a tradeoff they are willing to live with.

They may be willing to live with it, but i wouldn't presume that they are in favour of the policy. Singapore is a one party state and rated a 'flawed democracy' in The Economist democracy index. Frankly, Singaporeans aren't consulted on the matter.

who the fuck are you to tell those people how they should rule their own country?

On a micro level, who the fuck are the authorities of Singapore to take another person's life.

Tenacious D only UK show was there. It was a good show and worth the effort.

Paid to park at the Holiday Inn Express if anyone wanted the info. Worked out well.

Cricket is great and it takes a lot of time to get under the skin of the sport and understand the intricacies. It's also easy to take the piss out of because of the slow paced nature of 5 day test matches and the funny jargon.

Sounds like he was either being a little bit gatekeepy because he couldn't be bothered to explain the rules or he was a bit sensitive to having his sport ridiculed... or maybe he was just being polite and turned it off to socialise

Does reading this comment count as me doing my own research?

I used to love browsing /r/rugbyunion before leaving that platform. It is out of season at the moment but with the world cup a couple of months away, does anybody have any ideas on how we can use the run up to the WC to grow this community?

Severance is the show I will always recommend to anyone else that will listen. It's fantastic.

Parking at the o2 (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by Serpent@lemmy.world to c/london@feddit.uk

Does anybody have tips for parking at or near the o2 for an event?

My wife is heavily pregnant so we would rather drive in but venue parking is pricey and on their website they are warning about traffic due to roadworks.
