Excellent post by David Rosenberg "the wrong sort of Jew" https://rebellion602.wordpress.com/2022/09/23/why-i-wont-park-my-anger-the-royals-the-jews-the-holocaust/ quote:Why I won’t park my anger – the royals, the Jews, the Holocaust Page snipe: 117 The term for a person who is for intents and purposes, "normal." They may not be totally cool or amazing, but are definately NOT the social outcasts that its opposite, 197, refers to. Antonym: 197 Comes from the course numbers of Washington University physics; 117 is general physics and 197 is "death physics" that attracts only the chess-club type. "Johnny is definately a 117." "Sarah likes math but she is cool too, she's more 117 than 197." Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Sep 24, 2022 |

6 years ago to this day apparently that the arch piss-boiler himself, your absolute boy Jermiminy Crombly was elected leader of the Labour party and began charging up the heart attack gun to take out Rafael Behr.

Unless it's something like a child dying i've found more laughter than crying at a wake, haven't been to one that had booze since i was a kid though.

Do you not normally hold them in a function room at a pub? How would you stop there being alcohol?

They're often in someone's home because the idea is that you keep watch/vigil over the body. So the family can have some say over whether people drink or not I guess. I've only been to one super traditional wake with the body in the house though. Others have been in the home of the dead person but they've been in the funeral home.

It's not a wake if you're not hanging out with the corpse, but it can still be a right laugh E: no, The Queue does not count as a wake

Quick question about the COVID booster thing, is there a distinction between “immuno-comprised” and “severely immuno-compromised” when I go to book it? Basically for the vaccinations last year I was in the group that got a text message invitation to an earlier session thanks to my coeliac disease, which is an immune-related condition but I wouldn’t say is “severe” in that regard. Does getting those texts mean I’m also eligible to book a booster now or is it only for a more severely compromised group?

Most wakes here take place in the deceased's home. edit: With drink driving laws and a decrease in alcohol consumption a lot of people don't bother drinking and sometimes they will specifically say that it's a "dry wake" (no booze)... especially if the deceased was teetotal. edit2: beaten like the russian army.

I got one telling me to book and I wouldn't describe myself as immunocompromised, just fat, so I assume they are offering them to a lot of people?

If you'd been invited before then you'd probably be eligible again, but I don't know for sure. My partner has rheumatoid arthritis and is on immunosuppressants so she's had, I think, three primary and a booster, so it seems obvious she's still eligible. What I would say is that there's likely to be significant surplus in supply since no-one seems bothered about getting it. Cos covid's over. So don't feel guilty about fudging it a little

Good enough for me, I’ve booked a session and I guess I’ll see if they tell me to gently caress off 👍🏻 There’s also an immunocompromised lass at work waiting for a text to get a booster so I’ll let her know it’s basically book it yourself this time around

I’m of the age where I am attending funerals of my parents’ generation regularly and it’s usually like this: there’s a ceremony (religious or not according to taste) where everyone gets a bit tearful and says goodbye to the deceased, then you stand around a bit, then you hit up the pub and all get drunk and open up about missing them and say nice things to more or less total strangers. Then at the end of it it’s a bit better.

It's more about the size and the boldness. My signature is illegible, but I don't sign it in a way that makes it look like it's been signed using a huge felt marker.

The Tories are the largest party, if their MPs support it because , which they will, then they have the mandate. Because if a government loses a supply vote then the expectation in the Westminster system is they will have to resign & call for an election & no Tory MPs wants an election as we head into a winter of freezing to death, they will support it despite some of them having severe doubts. Morally? Probably not but honestly what the gently caress do you expect when you vote for the Tories?
