Nah, quite a few places were "we don't give a poo poo".

tbh same applies to quite a few legitimate psychological disorders.

While that's largely true it's worth remembering that Section 28 was only abolished in England and Wales in 2003.

e: the same year as the start of the Iraq War, for perspective

I don't know which is worse - that it wasn't repealed until 2003 or that it was implemented as late as 1988! There was a 20 year period when homosexuality was legal and it wasn't forbidden to talk about gay people in a positive way in schools (it may have been vanishingly rare but it wasn't literally illegal) and then we decided to regress from that.

quote:

Brexit deal mentions Netscape browser and Mozilla Mail

References to decades-old computer software are included in the new Brexit agreement, including a description of Netscape Communicator and Mozilla Mail as being "modern" services.

Experts believe officials must have copied and pasted chunks of text from old legislation into the document.

The references are on page 921 of the trade deal , in a section on encryption technology.

It also recommends using systems that are now vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

The text cites "modern e-mail software packages including Outlook, Mozilla Mail as well as Netscape Communicator 4.x."

The latter two are now defunct - the last major release of Netscape Communicator was in 1997 .

Also wtf who is buying all these live eels??

It's amazing that the British managed to gently caress up cooking eel, one of the most delicious fish, so badly that they are convinced it's a garbage fish. Just don't cook it like that! You could be eating delicious eel for every meal but you insist on being the worst loving country in the world that can't do anything right.

poo poo, that was only a year before Denmark allowed same-sex civil unions. Guess we haven't been entirely in lockstep with the UK in terms of politics in the last 50 years, even if there are a lot of similarities.

You think that's bad, wait till you find the references to princely states!

Have you seen the rest of British cuisine? loving up eel pales in comparison.

Although the "what if breakfast, but actually enough calories for two entire days" approach is pretty solid

There's plenty of restaurants in NI that serve delicious smoked eel, usually caught the same day since once of Europe's largest eel fisheries is less than an hour's drive from anywhere in the country. It exports hundreds of tonnes a year to Germany and the Netherlands. They're so good they got protected geographical status in the EU so eels from other fisheries can't be passed off as the genuine article.
