You could also use "drummer for Marillion" to the same effect.

Is it Meryl Streep's brother? He used to run a health food shop in Cranleigh. Mind you, it's hard to dislike Meryl's work, so probably not.

I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

Why do you think AI, out of all technologies, will be the thing that would lead to this? Are you one of those people who now refers to CGI in movies as "AI"? (See also: people who call USB flash drives "dongles").

Fine, I will publish an article stating that, then I can cite it. Make stupid rules, find stupid loopholes. I could give you a list as long as the Nile of information that's on Wikipedia that is similar to this, but which has been left in. Let me know if you would like that.

I'm not specifically citing it as a reference in that way, it's simply a truism, the same way that if I said "dice are cubes" I don't need a specific reference, because it's an objective truth that anyone can observe.

Help ๐Ÿฃ

The government is finally asking if they should ban cages for hens in the UK. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ” Lobbyists are trying to block it, so we need huge numbers to show them that the public wants this ban NOW: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

I am happy to say that I am really enjoying my new job and everyone seems really nice. I think I have got lucky.

Or bloody Belbin. I hate Belbin, it's nonsense.

My new boss is a big Tolkien fan. He asked me if LOTR was my favourite franchise. I replied with "there may come a day when it's my favourite, but it is not this day".

I have a particular hatred for Wikipedia gatekeepers who literally won't allow anyone to change a page's content, even if it's correct. I have several times added the information that Toht is never mentioned by name in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and it's always gone within half an hour.

Er... Hump day only works with a picture of a single humped camel. A Bactrian has its humps on Tuesday and Thursday.

If the usage is monitored, why aren't they monitoring what it's actually used for? Are the management incredibly thick?

At this point, how is the Trump/Netanyahu combo ANY different to Vladimir Putin?
Unprovoked bombing of civilians. There is no difference any more. They are the same. It's sickening.

I have never understood the reason why Republic of Ireland citizens can vote in UK elections, but not vice versa.

The Vimes Boots theory. Poverty is expensive.

No, I mean McVities use of eggs in their products which contain eggs. Which some do, although not digestives.

I tried a VR headset for the first time yesterday. Today I realised (a) I find VR absolutely astonishing and fun, but (b) oh my god, I get terrible motion sickness from Flight Simulator. Literally lasts hours.

I could write for days, months, years.

I could read decades of sci-fi from the most annoying Golden Age authors.

I could peruse the most cringe things on TikTok.

And still, I could never come up with the deeply embarrassing things Sam Altman says on any given Tuesday

Was this in an NHS hospital by any chance? I may have worked with the same woman...

I would dispute this. Digestives are one type of biscuit where no supermarket brand is quite as good as a McVities. Although fuck McVities because they use battery chicken eggs, I believe.

I am against eating meat, but this is a pretty fair reason for this person.

And you know this was why you didn't get the job how? Did they tell you in feedback? Or could it be the other candidate was just better?

I rang in sick for work, not because I was ill, but because our cat, who has never once given me a second of affection, fell asleep tucked into my lap. There was no way I was moving anywhere.

This didn't happen. You wouldn't think you had a double urethra having gone through your entire pre-pubescent life with a single stream.

So basically you just had a mustard and Branston sandwich. The butter will contribute no flavour whatsoever to that due to being drowned out by the stronger flavours, only make it unpleasantly greasy. Try it without the butter, it will be even better.
