poo poo sucks. I miss grapefruit, was maybe my favourite citrus fruit. I didn't have it open but it was a nice treat a few times a year.

It wasn't that I would have it these days, but as a kid I remember it being the best thing to have for breakfast or diet and it being everywhere.
Maybe it was my mother who would take it all the time.

I would not describe ket as a fun party drug, or was I doing it wrong?

/\ Is MI;13 the series that had the punk Tinkerbell and 'John Lennon was a Skrull defector'? because if so yes. That said the panel says she's Cap Brit and that was definitely the vibe I got from the defending-London-Bridge-and-the-Sword-accepts-her story but fair enough, will not pretend to expertise on modern Cap Brit.

Handforth is situated in Cheshire East, a unitary authority area with borough status in the county of Cheshire.[18] Handforth falls within the constituency of Tatton, a strongly Conservative constituency represented by Esther McVey.[25] It is the third most affluent constituency in the UK outside of Kensington and Cities of London and Westminster.

It's not that it doesn't last, just that if there is no ongoing book featuring Captain Britain or Excalibur, then comic inertia is likely to kick in. So that when someone decides to use Captain Britain, it's likely to be the most familiar one.
Heck, those Avengers pannels were from 2018.
Since then I think Brian Braddock ended up showing up in an X-Men book as the new Merlin role. And his sister Betsy* was the new Captain Britain.
Since then a ton of stuff happened that I hadn't followed like Rogue became a lighthouse, mostly because Excalibre is the X-Men magic book now and not about the UK's superhero team.

*= Psylock is a deeply problematic character, but one who also is too popular to ever go away.

Jackie Weaver did in fact have no authority, and the vice chair who was present should have taken control. Read the standing orders.

Part of the reason it's funny is that parish councils across the UK (and, realistically, everywhere else in the world) are full of petty tyrants like the Chairman/Clerk/PROPER OFFICER who end up in positions of power because everyone else agrees with them as a mechanism for shutting them up.
The reason they got Jackie Weaver (from the local authority) in was because the Chairman hadn't arranged a meeting of that particular committee since April, and someone obviously felt that getting the involvement of someone from higher up the food chain would be an official way of shutting the Chairman down and actually moving forward with the regular business of the committee. As people have pointed out, Jackie doesn't have any real power in regards to meetings, but whatever powers that parish council have would have been granted to them by the local authority, who would be able to take those powers away if they wanted to. So presumably, if things had gone completely tits-up in the meeting, Cheshire council could have just dissolved the committee although that would probably have been more hassle than it'd be worth.

The other reason - for me - that it's funny is that while 66% of the participants are taking this deeply seriously, there are 1/2 people recognising this for some of the pettiest poo poo imaginable and just laughing their arses off.

Up to 100 UK children a week hospitalised with rare post-Covid disease

quote:

Up to 100 children a week are being hospitalised with a rare disease that can emerge weeks after Covid-19, leaving them in intensive care, doctors have said.

In a phenomenon that is worrying paediatricians, 75% of the children worst affected by paediatric inflammatory multi-system syndrome (PIMS) were black, Asian or ethnic minority (BAME). Almost four out of five children were previously healthy, according to an unpublished snapshot of cases.

This was happening last time round. Covid can kill anyone, the schools should never have been opened without cases being a manageable level to effectively contact trace/isolate.

Scary stuff. I'm assuming the disproportionate effect on BAME children just mirrors the disproportionate prevalence of COVID overall in the BAME community, though it's not implausible there's a causative link to something with a racial propensity like presence of sickle cell allele or something.

So doing the numbers 500k UK children are getting COVID a week, as of last month? Seems a little high.

Fatality seems thankfully low, but God knows what lifetime health concerns we're setting up for these kids
