Is Mermaids still a good charity to donate to? I need to get rid of some beetles and fancy woodlice and will do so for a donation in lieu of payment.

(if anyone wants some beetles or fancy woodlice maybe drop me a line or whatever)

Taking hard swings at the SNP is interesting.
It was in his 14k-word beige paint swatch; pretty much the only thing he showed any spark about, because far more important to the Establishment than ending poverty or having working public services is preserving the Union. Where would they go grouse shooting and park nuclear submarines otherwise?

Presumably this is where they put it, or alternatively it was sent back in time and the village is named after it :v:

Not sure I've ever heard him called Rob before. Sounds wrong. He's Rab.

Anyway, good that Gamesmaster is keeping up its Scots quota, & Rab is considerably less obnoxious than Dominik Diamond.

I agonised on that because I know him as Rab too but his twitter handle is Rob and he's called Rob in that tweet so decided to go with it, possibly with an unconscious worry that it was cultural appropriation for me to call him Rab.

In this case the solution was him not being a cop anymore because he had multiple allegations of indecent exposure against him, one of them a few days before the murder.
But lol at the police investigating themselves.

that wouldn't have stopped him going out and murdering a woman, though

at the very most he'd have had to use a fake ID rather than a legitimate one

I'm surprised that it wasn't the other way around, it's always been Britain that's tried to use UK for things (domain names, olympics, international branding) and ISO/Ireland/everyone else that prefers GB.

We use Team GB for all of our Olympic and other international athletics, and the ISO doesn't impose the two-letter codes, they're chosen by the member standard organisation unless there's a clash. The UK domain name thing was literally because we were the first ccTLD and Jon Postel and whoever was in charge of JANET just went "Yeah, .uk I suppose". There *is* a .gb ccTLD which IIRC is used for exactly one government-owned domain.

Also Sandford it took me a while to parse it that you were not threatening to send mermaids your woodlice if people didn't give you money to stop you.

I thought they meant that they were just going to give all the woodlice directly to Mermaids. Which, while it's a very kind thought, may not be appreciated as they cascade through the letter box.

Keith with the incredibly strong play of outright admitting he’ll lie to anyone about anything to gain power and you shouldn’t trust him as far as you could throw him. Let’s see how it plays out with the electorate :smithicide:

Perhaps Blair, realizing that there's no support for his own return to leadership, has opted to possess Keith and run the party through his new spirit vessel instead?

Are you a woodlice expert? I keep getting the little guys in my (rented) bungalow. I think there are various gaps in the building fabric they come in through, any tips on dealing with that? Sealing the gaps isn't gonna happen but is there something I can spread around that they don't like?

Being goons we're full of great advice if you do it non-metaphorically too, just in case you ever need help with that.
