- Comment on Leaving your engine running in Wales could cost you £150 14 hours ago:
I hate idling cars with a burning passion because the noise is bloody annoying. My neighbour had the worst irritating habit of spending at least an hour chatting in her car with the engine running from 11pm to well over midnight. Right under my bedroom window. Drove me absolutely mad (pun kind of intended).

I know a quote from the regular human bartender Jackie Daytona when I see one!

Alright well let’s squeeze in good old Flight of the Conchords while we’re at it!

Not enough Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou or Mark Proksch imo.

Excuse me there’s a mistake What We Do In The Shadows should be at the top of list thank you.
- Comment on ‘Ghost patient’ policy wrongly removing at-risk people from GP lists, doctors say 1 week ago:
I don’t get the bit about patients on repeat prescription marked as inactive, they have to request those prescriptions, thus interacting with the practice in one way or the other (app or phone call). I have to make a request every 4 weeks to get mine, unless some people are on a 6-monthly repeat?

- Comment on Firebombs thrown at supercars outside Birmingham wedding venue 5 weeks ago:
‘sort of operation’ I wrote, I’m aware that supercars aren’t SUVs but they are yet another egregious, offensive wealth display like huge SUVs are. So ya know, eat the rich and all that jazz.
- Comment on Firebombs thrown at supercars outside Birmingham wedding venue 5 weeks ago:
I hope no one was hurt and that it’s kind of a ‘slashing-tires-of-huge-SUVs’ sort of operation.

Nononono you fool, we just need to increase the amount of adverts everywhere, make them more colourful, loud and invasive! (/s just in case)

Just make sure you do the float test before eating them because it looks like they’re past their best before date by a few years.

Dammit we did so well to recover from last year’s drought and here we go again :(
- Comment on Blow to NHS as Royal Mail raises prices for bulk users by a third 2 months ago:
Exactly, you’re spot on. We decided in the end it was not the best use of our members’ money so we pivoted to self-serve, but it does highlight the unfair monopoly that Royal Mail has on letters.
- Comment on Blow to NHS as Royal Mail raises prices for bulk users by a third 2 months ago:
Yeah true, when their systems aren’t malfunctioning (they sent me the same letter 4 times in error when my local trust moved to a new system, despite having opted in for paperless correspondence, but that’s another can of worms).
I meant letters in general though, could Joe Public use any of those 3rd parties if they want to send, say, a few large letters? I recently tried to do a diy grassroot campaign with my union, we wanted to send badges to our members but the cost of stamps was prohibitively high and we could not find any 3rd party that would do it for us. And we didn’t want to open a business account for what’s likely to be a one off.

The truth comes from the font of knowledge herself - thank you grandma.
- Comment on Gran sells home to pay back £115k she stole from Norfolk charity 2 months ago:
What, having great grand kids or stealing money? Both sound like a lot of faff I don’t have that kind of energy 😂
- Comment on Gran sells home to pay back £115k she stole from Norfolk charity 2 months ago:
Why do they insist on telling us she’s a great-grandma, is that supposed to elicit sympathy for her? She’s a person who used her position of treasurer to steal money, full stop, the fact that she reproduced does not bear any weight in the story.
Anyway that is such a shitty thing to do, but thankfully the vast majority of treasurers across the country are trustworthy and manage their funds well.
- Comment on Blow to NHS as Royal Mail raises prices for bulk users by a third 2 months ago:
Correct me if I’m wrong, but there isn’t alternative for sending letters is it? So essentially they have us by the balls.

- Comment on Making public transport fully accessible ‘could boost UK economy by £176bn’ 2 months ago:
It would be nice to make public transport accessible just because it’s the right thing to do, not to try and extract money out of disabled people…
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I can’t think of an example right now but I absolutely cannot watch French films with English subtitles and vice versa because I spend too much time raging at inaccuracies. Or I get caught thinking about how I would translate something myself and I quite literally lose the plot.
I get that translation cannot always be 100% accurate to account for cultural differences for example, but sometimes it’s just plain wrong.
