But how can they slap? Self reported

That’s one serious mofo of a hash brown if so Looks more like some kind of sausage meat creation to me, though.

What’s the deep fried cube top right? And WHY is there rabbit food next to the tomatoes?

Totally forgot that Cole played for them.

That’s a terrible thing to say about Jar Jar Taylor.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce8gr62ym4ko Article asking whether killers, stalkers etc should have to live in specified “restricted zones” after release, as opposed to the current system where their victims have a restricted zone imposed around their residence which the perpetrators cannot enter. I have skin in this game, as my brother’s killer is due for release in a year or two. A small exclusion zone, centered around my mother’s home, is part of his pre-release conditions. Since she has now passed away, I asked the parole liaison whether this would still be in place, since I also live within it. It will, which I’ll benefit from since I also live within it, but my older brother wont as he lives elsewhere. Reading this article, I did not realise that exclusion areas could be county sized. I wish I’d known this, as I’d have asked for North and South Tyneside to be the exclusion zones for our case, which would have covered my mother, brother, and I. The point of the article though, is to flip the effect of the exclusion areas, and put it on the offender, putting them in a restricted area outside of which they can not go, as opposed to having an area around the victim which is “safe” but the offender is free to go anywhere else, essentially restricting the freedom of the victims movements. I can get behind this. I know my Mam was happy that she wouldn’t ever see the killer in her day-to-day movements (within the exclusion area), but did still have concerns that she might see him in Town. Not a concern for her anymore, but I know that if I or my brother ever see him in town, there’s a strong chance of bother. I’d much rather not have to worry about that. The human rights issue, of restricting the offenders choice of where to live/move etc, can get in the fucking sea, tbh. Offenders have their movements and choice of residence taken away when they are sentenced. For murder, they are released on licence, which means they are still under sentence and can be sent back to prison if they break their licence conditions. Thoughts?

Arguably their best player in decades, who they now don’t like because he chose to manage South Shields over them.

Brutal. True, but brutal.

The first physical evidence of Roman Gladiators fighting Lions has been discovered … … in York, which has no Roman arena. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8v2063r19o

Remember when we met that night in the taxi queue, and I turned the tables on you? “ It puts the lotion on its skin…”

Cheers man, good if you to post that. Regarding my niece, we were asked to use their new name about two years ago, when they were 15ish. They dress as male, but in actual fact it’s more non-gender specific- jeans, band shirts etc. They keep their hair short. I still refer to them as my niece because other than being asked to use their new name, that’s all the info we’ve had. I use they/them because I don’t know what else to use, and niece because as far as I’m aware there isn’t a non-gender version. My Mrs’ family are all onboard, but just don’t ever talk about the stuff I’d like to know- just the basics, would they like be referred to as he/him, she/her, or they /them? Niece or Nephew? I suspect if things follow their logical course, the discussion will be had, but I’d have preferred it done so we don’t inadvertently upset them.

I’d forgotten your sis is trans mate. That whole experience must’ve been challenging for everyone concerned. One of my nieces is probably going to transition soon- they have already asked everyone to call them by their (male) name of choice, and once they reach 18 I’d imagine the full process will begin. How long did the transition take in your sisters case, if you’re ok talking about it?

Is he the bloke that got Bournemouth excommunicated?

I happily defer to Mr Mrs D. when it comes to fake penis knowledge

Genuine question- a post-op trans man, can they pee out of it? Also, I’d say that grasping the Etiquette of Urinal Use and Placement of Self Therein would be much harder for a trans man than which cubicle to use for a trans woman.

Answering my own question. In 1292, after a conclave lasting two years without choosing a pope, a Benedictine hermit called Pietro de Morrone sent a letter saying if a pope was not chosen quickly, divine retribution would fall on them. The leader of the Conclave immediately declared Pietro as the Pope, and the conclave ratified the choice with no exceptions. Upon being told of his new job, Pietro ran away and hid, refusing to take up his new role. Eventually he was persuaded to accept and became Clementine V , and his first and only papal decree, immediately upon taking up the role, was to introduce the right of resignation for popes. As soon as the decree was passed, he resigned

I’d be interested to see how quickly I could get in the news if I started a “ Make All Toilets Unisex” campaign from scratch on social media. I’d give myself two weeks. But I won’t, because I can’t be arsed.

Does whoever is picked have the option to say “thanks but no thanks”? Has that ever happened? So many Pope questions, so little time. I reckon if they introduced one new rule- “ anyone can ask to be pope, but if you aren’t chosen you die”, it would speed things up and let them burn their little bonfire way sooner than now.

I’ve given up on Death Stranding for now. My time for games is currently less than normal, and I just don’t have time to wait 10 minutes for some moody nerd to tell me a character’s name. Then play for 2 minutes. Then watch for another 10-15 to find out that the newly named character lives “here”. I’ve battered my way through Far Cry 4 and Primal, currently 2/3 through 5, and I’ve got the remainder cued up. Open game- do a few missions, skin a few bears, find some stashes. Sweet

I’ve thought this since the whole debate began. It’s such a vanishingly small proportion of the population, yet it’s been front page news for several years now. It’s much like immigration tbh- as you point out, it’s a thing that will have very little direct impact on the vast majority of people, so I can’t fathom why so many people have such strong feelings about it ( I know why- because their media of choice tells them it matters). Meanwhile, worker rights have been decimated, the NHS is on its last legs, and I’m about to apply for a second mortgage to buy next weeks shopping and nobody seems to give a fuck.

Dear other businesses who come on spamming the fuck out of the place. This is what you should be doing. Good luck with the business mate.

That’ll be the fluoride
