Unidentified missile heading eastwards from NK. I wonder how far east it has to go before the US can shoot it down and claim it was heading for them.

I can't go up from 266 I have a 260 shoulder armor that's tying me down cos I just can't get anything apart from rare gear for it.

To be fair, he was probably referring to himself.

Aye it is enjoyable. Although I'm getting frustrated that when I'm event farming, I end up totally alone on certain events. It's pointless to even engage with them at that point as while I may be able to trigger the heroic aspect, I sure as shit can't then complete it in the time frame. I think I'm now at the point where this method has potentially run it's course though. That link you sent me suggested that I should now switch to weekly milestones to level up.

Could he have done that by trading gear through vaults?

Haven't tried it yet since I'm only 263. Looking forward to it though!

If they'd come out and said that administration was a real possibility, I would have been incredibly surprised

Sorry, missed this. To be absolutely honest, Monbiot is the source of my disdain for Neoliberalism, so his content on that will look familiar. What I do find interesting is that he has arrived at the same conclusion as I have on narratives. That we are where we are because the prevailing one is flawed but unchallenged, and that a new one is required to make any headway, as irrational as the need for one ultimately is.

Some of them are still saying they should bring him back as of today. Cos he'd still "jump at the chance" apparently.

Was annoying. An initial 4 hour down time that became 7 hours. Hope that's not a regular feature.

I'm 256 now, barely got any play time in at all last night what with their maintenance problems. Was planning to do nightfall but couldn't one of the others I intended to play with had given up for the night by the time servers reappeared. I guess we'll try tonight. Looking forward to the raid, although I've a long way to go before I'm eligible to play it I guess! Had 280 in mind.

I like the metro but they need to finish the fucking thing and extend it to the west end. That sounds monumentally annoying btw Rents, unlucky.

Are you serious... how fucking pathetic is that. Google Translate ffs. Presumably no self respecting German translator would touch it.

Fucking hell... what a shambles they are

Fair.

I don't entirely trust Cable but ok. In general I think you have to consider that something has changed in society when once upon a time it was possible to have single earner households and now it isn't for the vast majority of people. It'd be interesting to see this discussed, although even if the EU has had a detrimental affect here, I would still say that it more than makes up for it elsewhere.

I was under the impression that mid level skilled immigrants had made a dent in earnings (plumbers, builders, etc). Makes sense as a supply and demand issue as well. The more workers there are, the less you pay. In fact I'd be interested to see evidence that it hasn't as I thought this was the only point that could legitimately be made in favour of Brexit. That said, our expectations have changed now, and I strongly doubt that low skilled British people will want the same jobs that their EU equivalents were doing. Moreover we'll lose more jobs in the long run if we're not able to come up with a rather stunning trade agreement.

Aye but would probably refer to it as the League Cup

Really helpful, thanks mate. Will keep all of this in mind.

Yep that's true. That fact alone will be staying his hand but I assure you he won't jeopardise other, profitable, investments to save it. Especially as there are no guarantees about any expenditure having the desired effect. Best case scenario now is that they get stripped right back and spend a few years getting things under control again. But if they run out of money and the bank starts calling, he isn't going to save them iyam.

From a financial point of view I'd take the £1k now. Given that I could invest that plus the £1k I'm not giving him, and earn more from them. From a sentimental point of view I'd loan him the extra money. Which of the two approaches do you think made Short a billionaire? And again, why do you think liquidating his shares to help Sunderland is something he would want to do? He is an investor. He won't be sitting on hundreds of millions in his bank account, it would be a waste of his money. Instead, almost all of it will be tied up in other investments. Why should he sell those for Sunderland? I would honestly be surprised if he has more than a few million stashed away in cash for a rainy day. And again, why give that to Sunderland?

You keep assuming he has the money though. He very legitimately may not. And as ewerk says he's been throwing money at then for years. They owe Short alone something like £100m don't they? Why would he think it'll go any better this time. I read he made his money from asset stripping. If that's true he'll know exactly what to do here, and he's likely heartless enough to do it. There's a thread on rtg now about how much impact falling attendances will have on all of this. It'll become a bigger deal as parachute payments reduce, that's for sure.

Ah ok. So to be clear, you can grind up to 280 normally but then need exotic emblems from raids to progress further? I think that's the bit I don't get, how do you get from 280 to 300 and what is meant by soft cap. If it's what I've set out above then I guess I do get it, but it's all speculation on my part.
