They sell all sorts of things in the women’s toilets at Bournemouth station.

Was it tony Bliar who got round a hosepipe ban by using the hosepipe to fill his water butt? I’m sure it was some politician anyway.
- Comment on Record 128 people cross Channel in one small boat 2 weeks ago:
Deliberately disingenuous then.
- Comment on Record 128 people cross Channel in one small boat 2 weeks ago:
I can’t tell if you lack the ability to infer things or you’re just being deliberately disingenuous. Obviously in this fictional scenario, with mainland GB taken over by a hostile regime, the CTA will be suspended. And given the population disparity between the island of Ireland and mainland GB, it won’t be long before the number of refugees exceeds what Ireland/NI can accept. So no, you’re not going to get a legitimate way in anytime soon.
So the question again is, would you rat out your mate Barry because he’s, according to your logic, a bad person?
Would you happily live in a refugee camp in France indefinitely, when you have the chance to sneak into Ireland to live in a house with family, and you can speak the language?

Lack of corruption! Have you been living under a rock?
Okay, how about this. You and your mates are on holiday in Australia. You see on the news that zomg! Britain has been taken over by the Shakiras! It’s now under Shakira law!!!
You try to get a flight home, but the flight terminates in France. The shakiras threaten to kill or imprison anyone who tries to get into Britain.
Your mate Barry pulls you aside and tells you a bunch of them are going to get on a dinghy tonight to Ireland. Ireland has already said no more refugees, but he knows a way to smuggle you in. You’ve got some cousins there, you can stay with them and maybe find a job.
You’ve got the choice. Stay in France where you don’t know anyone and can’t speak the language.
Or take a risk and get the dinghy to Ireland where you can speak the language and have family and have a greater chance at getting a job.
Would you stay in France because it’s “safe” and condemn any Brits trying to make it to their family in Ireland? Would you rat out your mate Barry because he must be a bad person for wanting to live somewhere he can adjust to more easily? For wanting to have family or friends to support him?
- Comment on Most popular baby names for boys and girls in 2025 revealed 2 weeks ago:
I really don’t understand why Olivia is so popular. It’s been topping the charts for years and yet I’ve never met a single Olivia in my life. None of my nieces or nephews have had an Olivia in their class.
Also, I’m surprised the Deform lot haven’t ranted about the boys chart yet.

The media won’t stop reporting on this guy every time he so much as farts. Radio 5 is his propaganda machine.
But maybe the tide is turning. In any case, he’s definitely getting tetchy. Hold his feet to the fire, he will melt like the greasy little frog he is.

Same, but it was Teletext, not Ceefax. My dad got me and my sister tickets to Barbados for £400 return. So first they shipped us off, then when we came back, they shipped the older two off. But they got to extend theirs to four weeks and they got to boat over to Trinidad and Tobago. Still bitter about it.
I got my message on Backchat once and that’s how I found out my friend in Year 12 also read it haha. She recognised me even with a pseudonym.

Five Mil Froggie is gonna claim they’re bullying him by not ganging up on him.

Finally, Earth will become great again, and hand dryers will be properly located.
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 3 weeks ago:
Wow, so they actually did it. Bully for them.
Binface vs Frogface.
Worst case of Binface losing still means Five Mil Frogface having his finances investigated.
Who knows, if they find enough dirt, it might even turn into a criminal investigation, given the laundering accusations.

Can we bill the MPs to pay for their lunchtime drinks fully out of their own pockets, then, instead of having it subsidised by us?
- Comment on UK workers all face the same problems. Why not join together? 4 weeks ago:
You would not believe how hard it can be to get retail staff to join a union.
With women, I got a few to consider it, one was up for it until she realised she had to pay a tenner a month. My male colleagues, not one wanted to know. I don’t know why they are so against it. And mind, this was in a job where the store manager was a bully (physically assaulted me, a short weedy woman, twice. One of my biggest life regrets is not reporting it while we had the cctv footage) and we had multiple staff just walk out rather than deal with his verbal and emotional abuse (head office protected him because he brought in the profits).
I just don’t get why most people are so against joining a union.

I was up till half 4 and it was just thunderstorms for over an hour, still going when I fell asleep. I don’t think I’ve seen so much lightning.
- Comment on How the social media ban could reshape how all of us use the internet 5 weeks ago:
Yes, we got dial up in the mid 90s and using your real name online was a big no-no.
I filled out their consultation form and made a point that parents needs to be equipped to keep their kids safe and talk to them about online dangers. Parental controls are the way to go. Schools also teach about cyber bullying and online dangers.
It’s one thing to show your ID to a sales assistant. It’s another to hand over a copy that you have no control of once it’s online.

- Comment on NHS staff battling wave of food supplement disinformation 1 month ago:
It’s crazy how some people think medicine is just “take this pill” and nothing more. I had a severe blood test phobia, so bad that I even delayed getting cancer symptoms checked for a year because I was so scared of the needles.
When I eventually got it checked and my gp said I’d need a blood test, I went into a panic attack. He prescribed me three lorazepam. One for the morning of the test, one for just before the test and one “just in case”.
I didn’t take them because I know I have an addictive personality.
Another GP told me to self refer to the local talk therapy. After three sessions I went from crying at photos of blood tests to being able to get a two practice tests done with my therapist and then the actual test. Without getting dizzy or throwing up like I did as a child.
Medicine is and should always be about what’s best for the patient, not “here just take a pill.” Is anyone really going to say that I should have gone down the lorazepam route? Also the amount of times I’ve had SSRIs pushed on me when I didn’t need them. Once when I was 13 because I had autism related mutism. Instead of pushing my mum to get me assessed, I wasn’t even told that I could be autistic (aspergers back then), which is a big contributing factor to me being the basket case I am today.
This is not me deriding modern medicine, just pushing back against the argument that pills should always be the answer. Long term solutions are better than relying on quick fixes.
