…move along, nothing to see here *whistles nonchalantly* Various things. Very much personal account, I haven't figured out how to do professional social media accounts yet

Oh no, another bad apple from this barrel. I'm sure if we throw this one out and don't check the rest, they'll turn out to be all perfectly fine.

Hmmm, I moved from the UK to Poland, so am a migrant, and I never did A-level English. (In fact I was in the Scottish system, but that's a whole other thing.) So, am I getting turned away at the border next time I try to come to the UK?

Oh no. You are That Guy.

Truss is vile and crazy, obviously, but she's so ineffectual at pretty much everything, has anything she's done since leaving office had any effect (good or bad) at all?
Cameron is less comically crazy, but I suspect he's successfully inserted himself in consequential places and done more harm

I think Cameron coming back like that at all was more than enough from him…

Seems like the actual unhinged opinion would be "Ulysses is a great book, I loved it!"

He's… mad about… you using an app? And thinks Tim Berners Lee gives a flying fuck one way or the other? For some reason?

Look, OK, I don't even particularly like tea, but this skeet is a hate crime against British people and all of humanity, and…

[Damnit.]

Not necessarily the main point, but has he not updated his photo in 9 years?

We just got the panto every christmas. If you think pantos are bad (or even if you think they're good) you're not prepared for them with 500-1000 bored school kids who don't really want to be there and are only marginally grudgingly grateful this is better than 3rd period Geography.

Definitely "weeg"/"woog" (strong north/south dialect divide between the two)

Don't be crazy, we only have work done the month we're on the Riviera in the summer, so we'll never need to interact with the workers directly.

At least, I assume that's how it goes with people who can afford flats like that.

I hate that "theatrical" and "stagey" are viewed as negatively as they seem to be.

Potentially hot take: The everything bagel is just bad. Any individual topping can work fine and is valid, but putting them all together results in a jumbled mess. Make a choice and commit to it, damnit.

Cream cheese and lox on a bagel that's only just fancier than plain, probably sesame by choice. Twist of lemon. Scallions only if the bagel is mediocre.

But I'd ruin it by not knowing it was called lox, which I only found out reading this thread

Presumably he'll be up for burning copies of the Bible and Torah too? Right?

Also, I'm not familiar with the case, but presumably the charge is for some specific hate offense and not burning of a book per se.

So… folks in the US are now getting paid for getting their drugs? Huh, I might go live in the US then - I know how much my drugs cost, and 400% of that cost is definitely enough to live on!
