Camrath posted:I just sat on the sidelines and drank whisky. :p I've been to a couple of dos where the dancing was all ceilidhs and for anyone with a dodgy knee or hip or just plain old unfit (including myself here), they're quite excluding. A lot of people spend their time sitting on the sidelines. Our CLP did one as a 'fundraiser' (lost £80 once the band and hall hire were paid - luckily one of the members stumped it up) and most people (including the handful of under 40s in the party) couldn't join in because of assorted knees, hearts and so forths that just couldn't do it. I said it was a bad idea! Pagesnipe: Rendezvous 4+2:02 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XG-tZRdTzQ With the lovely, late, John Wetton on vocals.

Posh people at ceilidhs are the worst kind of Scottish Tory GU types. The real thing is doing strip the willow with your shirt unbuttoned sweating pure whisky and causing minor injuries.

You ever wonder what amazing things you could get if you were just willing to sell out your fellow man and become a lick arse for the tories? https://twitter.com/Telegraph/status/1550051340172279809 A fun sized twix, a hot can of coke and some knock off sun cream, and I'll bury any bad news you want.

Good news everybody! Any striker can be replaced by an agency worker! I'm sure enough fully-trained temporary signallers, barristers, doctors, nurses, teachers etc willing to strike-break are available on tap through the agencies.... https://twitter.com/KwasiKwarteng/status/1550081224890351617?s=20 I wonder if the agencies that wrote to the govt a few weeks ago saying 'No' will change their minds now it is no longer illegal?

NotJustANumber99 posted:My ceilidh experience is everyone refusing to take no for an answer, completely unbelieving that someone might not want to take part, to the point where I just left. as someone who has had various flavours of social anxiety over the years I can confirm that one of the worst kinds of people are those who not only refuse to believe that a person could genuinely not enjoy an activity that they themselves enjoy, but who believe that being a total rear end in a top hat to the near or total stranger not wanting to do the thing until they reluctantly relent to make it stop is a helpful act. turns out if you let the person feel comfortable regardless and do not make them the main character of the entire room until they force themselves to go through the motions then they can have a decent time doing whatever else, and might even be able to do the thing of their own volition one day in their own time

Just saw an article titled "Mario Draghi resigns, plunging Italy into political turmoil" and all I could think was where are the articles about Britain plunging into political turmoil. He didn't even have any major scandals or anything, either.

Third government collapse in three years and Italy's on the verge of the post-Mussolini fascist party taking the reigns of power. So silver linings to our particular level of knee-high turdwater.

Anyone watching Pointless this week? Question's on the left, answer's on the right, number in the middle is the number of people out of 100 who got the right answer. 23 people apparently couldn't answer 'Next number after seven, begins with 'e', 5 letters'. They probably all vote.
