Don't listen to this, give it a good squeeze like a big bit of bladderwrack you found in a tide pool.

If you squeeze hard enough, it's just like bubble wrap!

edit: what a lovely snipe. 557: approximate Labour majority at next election given an extrapolation of current Tory popularity trend.

Worth reading this very enlightening series of tweets from someone who attends that mosque, re: Hookhand

He was banned from mosques, and timed his appearances outside them to make it look as if he had support, to attract impressionable people to his cause.

Abu Hamza was the guy with the hooks, not Anjem Choudhary.

I seem to recall that us having external testicles is something to do with temperature control, keeping our balls cooler than the rest of our body in order to protect the sperm. So a shell might run the risk of boiling our baby-juices.
Related fun fact: Elephants do not have a scrotum, their testicles are internal.

That's all I have to say about that! Enjoy spending the rest of your day thinking about elephant nuts, later suckas :c00l:

Specifically 16" hydraulic corkscrews optimized for violent rape. Duck vaginas are shaped like labyrinths to try to prevent violent rape. Male ducks are brightly patterned so you can shoot them before they do a rape, then cook them with orange sauce.

Opened the windows on my way down the seats this morning only for some old git to get up and shut the fuckers again.

And then spend the rest of the bus ride complaining that it was too hot :psyduck:

There also Prospect, but i don't know if that's considered a "correct" choice.

Prospect aren't affiliated with Labour, but when I was looking to join a union, a colleague gave them a strong reccomendation, so i went with it.
Not had reason to use the services as of yet.

I did originally try to see if there was a shop steward on site for any unions, but nobody seemed to know of one.

You see people dressed in loving nothing in winter and like it's the Battle of Stalingrad in the middle of summer. How.

Also are there mobile air conditioners that don't just blow warm air back at you? I have this box unit that you pour water in but it's as useless as a soluble boat.

Was it one of those dumb coats that look like boiler insulation? Because I've seen more than one person wearing those dumb looking things around my area in the past few days.

My theory is they're too stupid to realise they're boiling themselves to death. Natural selection is finding a way.

Unless its actually pumping the heat elsewhere its gonna be next to loving useless after awhile- the apparatus you have is great for about 20 minutes but then all you have really done is pump a bunch more humidity into the air, and as soon as that warms up- viola, you are living on satans ballsack.



My summer survival guide involves keeping southfacing window blinds/curtains shut, and using a big gently caress-off floor fan to cycle air through the house.

Sweaty in bed? BEACH TOWELS MOTHERFUCKERS pull up the fitted sheet and lay down a beach towel or two under it, or hell, just lay on it unless you are the princess and the pea- it will wick your sweat far better than some bullshit cotton sheeting.


Still having problems? beer and olives, and/or ice cream. Don't forget to eat some more salt if you are necking loads of water too, some people may recommend isotonic drinks or rehydration sachets- I say get to the chippy .

if you add water its evaporative swamp cooler bullshit, however the basic/cheapest model "proper" air con units that pump heat are windowbox units, and I cant figure a reason to put an evap one there unless its to cargo-cult the appeal of a "real" one.
