As it happens I have a long-term illness from the opposite problem, being chronically underweight. Diabetes hasn't cropped up yet, though.

Not really, but pissflaps will die unless someone validates his idiot posts, and letting a grown manchild die would be too cruel even for me.

That sounds debilitating. I hope you're getting the best possible treatment.

The answer is no, but posting about posting is worse than even the most heinously bland shitpost slapfight. So uh,

All but one of my grandparents died before I could know them. The one I did meet smelled strongly of cigarettes because she was a heavy smoker. I never got chance to smell my other grandparents.

Soylent is a real food product now, made by some shut-in.

It looks like it tastes like wallpaper paste looks like it tastes like.

I think Pissflaps should try Soylent in order to give us an accurate comparison with wallpaper paste.

Old people smell weird but I am also not a fan of the smell of weed. Unsure how I would feel about the two combined. Maybe we should run trials.

Moore converted to Roman Catholicism following the Church of England's decision to allow the ordination of women priests.[27][28] His wife, a former English don at Cambridge University, chose not to make such a move and remains an Anglican.[29]

I was four in 1981, so I'm understandably late to this controversy but I wouldn't have called this...

... a donkey jacket. Do I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a donkey jacket is or is your man from the Telegraph just a giant penis that somehow learned to wear a suit?

It was the controversy/lie of that era, that Foot wore a donkey jacket to the service which was clearly bollocks. It remains as fact even now.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/nov/09/four-departments-agree-to-meet-george-osbornes-cuts-target

quote:

Four government departments have agreed deep spending cuts of 8% a year for the next four years, George Osborne will announce on Monday.
The Treasury and the Departments of Transport, Environment, and Communities and Local Government, are the first ministries to agree cuts in a spending review intent on slashing �20bn from the cost of government.
In a speech in London, Osborne will argue that controlling �4tn of government spending over the next five years was essential to guarantee national and economic security.
By naming the four departments that have reached a provisional agreement with the Treasury before the full results of the spending review are revealed on 25 November, Osborne hopes to put pressure on ministers who are still resisting his demands for cuts in their departments.
Negotiations with Theresa May, the home secretary, who is worried about cuts to police budgets, and Iain Duncan Smith, the work and pensions secretary, who is reportedly threatening to resign rather than accept cuts to his universal credit programme, are said to be proving particularly difficult.

So that's road maintenance, environmental issues, and local government services screwed then. 8% a year is a crazy rate of cutting - it means reducing expenditure by 28% in total. The idea that over a quarter of the money spent by a typical government department is just pointless waste that can be cut without consequence is insane.

I'm guessing this is the end of Natural England then. I presume most of the cuts to the Communities and Local Government department are going to be passed on to local councils?

its worth remembering that the tories are selective in which councils get the worst cuts and coincidentally they're all labour councils
