- Comment on Firebombs thrown at supercars outside Birmingham wedding venue 2 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 2 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 I loved doing this as a kid 1 month ago:
I used to do that but I’ve noticed as I’m growing old, my phosphenes (those shiny squiggly things you see when you rub your eyes) aren’t as colourful and fun as they used to be :(

- 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.
- Comment on Royal Family to get a 94% surge in taxpayer-funded income whilst 'it's subjects' must expect less 2 months ago:
I’m not (and never will be) a subject yet the taxes I pay go towards the monarchy. How I wish there was a way to opt out!

It’s no wonder, my 8 year old PC’s PSU blew up last month when we had those 2 hot days, I can’t imagine the state of their equipment.

I do a reverse hot water bottle, just pop a half-filled hot water bottle (or just any plastic bottle) in the freezer, it’s delightful to hold or use as a pillow.
