Surely everyone will be at half-mast during the mourning period anyway, so they won't be needed?

So has Ireland been shrunk and made to join the UK in morning the Queen if it wants to be re-biggulated?

Or is the Isle to the left of Scotland meant to be Northern Ireland, and the rest of Ireland has been removed because otherwise it's inconvenient?

(In Heaven. Lustful Fox looks at Queen Elizabeth. She knows she is in trouble. She reaches into her handbag and pulls out a small electronic device and presses the button.

CUT TO:
The stately home of Jolyon Maugham QC KC, who along with his junior, Richard Grayson the third, are taking instructions from a client.)

Jolyon: So as I explained it is vital that you explain to me your timeline of where you were on the night of the murder, if I am to establish your innocence.
(Landine phone lights up red, silently.)
I'm sorry but an important matter has come up, please talk to the solicitor and we can reschedule our meeting.

Richard Grayson: Holy Interupted Consultations Jolyon, we will have surely lost the brief after that display.

Joylon: Perhaps old chum, but it seems like there is a higher calling coming through. One that can only be answered by Cricket-Batman and HOWZAT: The Bowl Wonder.

Curious what the official reason for this will be. With the other one having 'gently caress' in it they can argue offence as we have some pretty dumb vague rules in public swearing. But this one?

Interesting that my constituency is the 7th most anti royal place in the UK but is entirely filled with land rover driving 2.4 children families building extensions and shouting about youths in hoodies being up to no good.



Sheffield :allears:

Also my ceo announced a mandatory camera on policy for all meetings at work today across the entire company. So thats a fun thing. "it has come to our attention that some individuals are not using their webcams" fucksake. Is it 2020? This was objectively disproven to help anyone and is a massive fatigue contributor.

Gotta get folks in to the office to make use of the aeron graveyard by slowly making WFH worse and worse. Yay.

Oh hey Manchester Withington specifically is there, almost literally next to where I live. Hell yeah!

I was reading a thing about divinity and disgust within the foundations of civilizations

quote:

I first found divinity in disgust. When I began to study morality, I read the moral codes of many cultures, and the first thing I learned is that most cultures are very concerned about food, sex, menstruation, and the handling of corpses. Because I had always thought morality was about how people treat each other, I dismissed all this stuff about "purity" and "pollution" (as the anthropologists call it) as extraneous to real morality. ... But as I read further, I began to discern an underlying logic: the logic of disgust. According to the leading theory of disgust in the 1980s, by Paul Rozin, disgust is largely about animals and the products of animal bodies (few plants or inorganic materials are disgusting), and disgusting things are contagious by touch. Disgust therefore seemed somehow related to the concerns about animals, body products (blood, excrement), washing, and touch that are so clear in the Old Testament, the Koran, Hindu scriptures, and many ethnographies of traditional societies.

It makes sense that the key objects in the British animist tradition are The Bins and The Royals, and the disgusting binbags that mediate between the two.

Ha, I like "aeron graveyard" a lot. Although my office is full of the cheaper Zody chairs, which basically suck rear end. Plus, management instituted hotdesking at the start of 2020, so you have to recalibrate the fiddly chair each time because you no longer have your own desk, and if you leave for even an hour to have a meeting someone else can nick your spot.

No one has ever been able to answer my questions about how the new approach is compatible with workplace ergonomics, COVID safety, or productivity, but jokes on them because the 1000-person building now sits empty and they've had to mothball most of the floors. Cursed place, may I never return!
