My drama teacher at school, who I ended up knowing in London years later was at drama school with Christopher Eccleston and she knew his people. Anyway she says he was super quiet at times in a deep way when he was figuring our the part, but would stand up for anyone and was absolutely wonderful to work with.

Yeah Eccleston owns and it's a shame he only did one season tbh Vice President for Life of the Independent North (second in command to Sean Bean so he'll be in the top job inside a week probably)

"Jeremy Corbyn was in the 'ra" was probably attack number 3* behind "and he's also a raging antisemite" and "simultaneously voted against every EU treaty but won't do Brexit" in 2019, so I'm completely unsurprised to see some "case for Britain (in Ireland (that bit of Ireland that's Britain (it's sometimes called Londonkerry)))" talk from him. *  e: Actually he might lose some of his Joe Biden advisers over it, lol.

That's the official UK stance as required by the Good Friday Agreement, which you'd think would be a teeny-tiny bit important for Mr.Forensic Lawyer. Britain committing to be a neutral facilitator of Northern Irish self-determination was a really huge deal in the path to peace (not least because it was an implicit promise to stop funding and equipping loyalist militias), and a Labour leader dropping that commitment on the weekend ahead of The Twelfth is ludicrously incendiary.

Can I just point out that I've been saying for years that Neil Coyle is a oval office of the worst sort within Labour. So to find out that he's asking Parliament to investigate Corbyn is no surprise. He was almost certainly the source of at least 90% of the Evening Standard's endless barrage of 'Labour MP condemns Corbyn' quotes 2015-2019, and is such a style over substance fuckwit that he once went canvassing with the Evening Standard with his infant child strapped to his chest to show what a great modern man he is.

They have the forces of the deep occult on board Well maybe not the deep deep occult, but at least the Pillars who have strong opinions about a sausage roll, and can possibly even summon a Duke of the Lesser Key who commands line dancing.

This one pisses me off the most. I can't quite accurately word it, but the implication in the title is that this is a guy boasting about being able to manufacture faults and flaws where there are none, bringing down someone trying to do good. And then walking away from having done that thinking he's not a total oval office.

Weird question but I can't think who else to ask. Does anyone here know a decent place to get work trousers? I spend a bloody fortune on replacing mine because they all wear out in the gusset cos I'm a great big thunder thighs and I also need to be crawling around a lot at work. They all go in the same place and I'm wondering if there is like, a proper make or design that is more hard wearing? Hell even ones that have a proper gusset would be nice rather than the single seam down the middle of the crotch.

There are brands where they are designed to be rugged, and they guarantee the item for life, they even repair it if possible, if not they replace it. But they're extremely expensive. You can find this kind of stuff by searching for "buy it for life" which is also the name of a subreddit. This is basically the Vimes boots theory of economics, you could in theory wear these for the rest of your life. For example these are £295: https://www.filson.com/uk/pants/alcan-double-front-pants.html#sku=20174631-fco-013845731 Or these "100 year pants" for £495: https://www.vollebak.com/product/100-year-pants-granite/ Brendan Rodgers fucked around with this message at 10:07 on Jul 10, 2021 |

Not sure if you mean "work trousers" like Snickers construction gear, or just regular trousers that you go to the office in. For the latter, I too suffered with crotch blow out until I switched to just wearing dark stretchy skinny jeans from Uniqlo, which seem to hold up and are cheap to replace. Still on a search for boxer briefs with long legs that don't ride up constantly. Years of squatting has done nothing but give me frustum-shaped thighs that gently caress up my whole wardrobe E:^^^°° lol godamn, thank you!

I can get away with construction site ones so I might try dickies, the lifetime ones are a long way out of my price range and I'm leery of spending money up front on the promise they will hold up their end of the bargain. Especially as I often get stuff spilled on them that leaves permanent marks so I don't want to walk around looking like I crawled out of a sewer.

Gusset is a funny word. For squat thigh peeps I've found Gap's athletic fit stuff is a god send, although they're expensive and are immoral consumption under capitalism

Pick up some of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32993849682.html I got laminate flooring put in upstairs at home and quickly found kneeling on it was a no-go when doing stuff, a pair of these absolutely save the pain. They're probably available on Amazon for a bit more £££ if you wanted them sooner than a month.

Trousers which douse your crotch in a lithium fire and seal around both legs making them impossible to take off.
