Masterstroke by Boris, getting the poor woman locked up, waiting till all the fuss dies down, then get her released raking in the kudos (and oil).

We must not become addicted to Russian oil my friends, for you will resent its absence. Saudi oil on the other hand is great, have at it.

It's "Graham Linehan having a moment of self-awareness" levels of unlikely, but imagine a future where Iran can supply us enough oil we don't have to give a poo poo about Saudi Arabia? Or at least they don't have enough of a stranglehold on our body politic that we can consign Newcastle United back to the Phantom Zone?

The UK should not dispose of its waste by shipping it overseas.

Or dumping it in rivers, for that matter, we don't need fishman glinner abducting children to gender them.

The business secretary, Lord Mandelson, has failed to deny discussing aluminium tariffs with the Russian metals magnate Oleg Deripaska, who entertained him on his yacht in Corfu.

Maybe posting this link a lot on tweets by people who suddenly care about Kremlin money will hurt that oval office.

I've received my final bill from the corpse of Peoples Energy and it's £30. Phew, I was worried I'd get rinsed in an error that would be a nightmare to fix.

Funny thing is I switched away from them 2 days before the market shat itself, a move I call pulling a Jaeluni (the switch, not the shatting)

It only qualifies as a Full-Jaeluni if you had all of your calculations done in Lotus 1-2-3 and printed by a dot matrix.

Yeah, it's loving everywhere again, my CTO got it a couple of weeks ago and despite being triple-jabbed with no pre-existing conditions, he really struggled for breath for a few days and almost admitted himself to hospital. He didn't in the end, but it's so far from gone away it's pretty terrifying that we're all just pretending it's finished now.

Seeing a massive riot squad turn out to remove four people from an oligarch's third or fourth home reminded me that at Crufts this weekend, West Midlands Police wrapped up their crime doggo display with KRS-One's 'Sound of da Police' without a hint of irony, comprehension of what the song is actually about, or even apparently having listened to anything more than the first line of the chorus. As it kept playing I was waiting for it to be hurriedly faded out, but it took a good minute before that happened. As police dogs say, arf.

Yup. My bro and SIL, my best mate, even my therapist got it in the last week and a half (I narrowly dodged a bullet on that last one, I'd stopped wearing my mask at our appointments, stupidly)

Not gonna be not wearing the mask for a long, long, long time, I think.

Yeah, friend and loads of other people caught it at a funeral last week (she's treble vaccinated + boosted) but with all that hugging and whatnot at funerals that goes on, it spreads like wildfire.
My mum and sister are going to a funeral tomorrow and I've told them both to keep masks on and try as much as possible to avoid physical contact.

Talking to our treasurer too today, lots of her relatives have come down with it after a family do. She didn't go as she is in the 'very vulnerable' category.

A couple of people in the department have had it in the last week or so and had it pretty bad.

Uncle died week and a half a go (was a wankbag to everyone including his own kids so not a great loss but as family you have to go), and his wife is a rabid anti-vaxxer.
She was telling her own kids not to get the vaccine or booster, because you know, Bill Gates 5G, Soros Illuminati, and still thought it was fake when 9 grandkids of hers went down with it in one go a few months back.
So we were scared my mother would get it from the wake and/or funeral itself, but thankfully didn't.

Should you cut off a dog’s tail in one go? Or in slices? Thirty years ago, when I was running the Social Market Foundation think tank, we held a debate on liberalisation in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. Our star speaker was the American economist Professor Jeffrey Sachs. And it was he who brought up the dog’s tail.

British Veterinary Association posted:

Tail docking should be banned as a procedure for all breeds of dogs, unless it is carried out by a veterinary surgeon for medical reasons (eg injury).

Puppies suffer unnecessary pain as a result of tail docking and are deprived of a vital form of canine expression in later life. Research published in Vet Record found that approximately 500 dogs would need to be docked in order to prevent a single tail injury.

Hmm maybe the answer all along was "you shouldn't do either you econ school ghouls" :hmmyes:

:siren: UKMT Solidarity Fund Monthly Update - 15 March 2022 :siren:

Just a quick one this month. We're still going, and to nobody's surprise we have experienced a recent uptick in requests relating to heating and electricity bills. Thanks to your ongoing generosity, we have been able to absorb this quite well and continue keeping goons on their feet/fed/warm etc.

Committee Elections

You guys clearly think the current committee is doing a stellar job, as there were no new self-nominations, nor any objections to the existing committee members continuing for another year. Thanks everyone! We will endeavour to live up to your trust.

Charitable Status Application

As of today, we have finally submitted our application to the Charity Commission. We are awaiting their response within the next few days. I'd be surprised if they don't come back with any queries/change requests, so it may still be a slightly drawn-out process, but we'll keep you updated on that. Once it's all sorted, we should be able to accept PayPal donations again, and also we should be able to claim Gift Aid on your donations which will be a-ma-zing!
