Not a defence of Bladdybub and his weaponised  antisemitism , selective racism [denial] and all the eyerolling rest ad loving extreme nauseam, but that's clearly an ironic self-deprecating joke, marvelling to himself and joshing with a showbiz chum at how crap he is. It's not the bubble popping. He already knows.We don't kick Vicky for the bike-riding thing. Point is, we also don't kick penguins for their inability to fly, cos they're good at what they are supposed to do. Bluddyburp isn't good at what he's supposed to do.

As bad as baddiel is in most contexts he was genuinely entertaining on taskmaster in the same way its fun watching a westling heel get bodyslammed. The task were he was asked to write a song was amazing, he proudly boasted about his chart topping footy song then hashed out some poo poo in ten minutes that saw him take last place. His team tasks with Jo Brand were top tier too, a great double act of 'doesn't understand' and 'doesn't give a poo poo'. Incidentally corren mitchel had similar heel energy imo, i can't ride a bike either tbf but her smarmy poo poo wordplay getting the reception it deserved was funny as hell. The only reason i'm looking forward to the next series despite the lineup is that you get to see these people outside of their usual carefully created contexts. And sometimes that means you see a poo poo revealed to be a lot less clever than they present themselves and sometimes its like when that guy from the Chase also revealed themselves to be like actually really funny and charming at being crap when the gameshow format i'd seen him in previously made him out to be a tiresome poo poo.

I've had people have trouble with my surname even though it's literally a common noun and a type of bean* before but i really struggle to see how anyone would mispronounce 'diel' as 'bub' or 'burp'. Did he change his name or is the joke just poo poo? *yes i've doxed myself my surname is 'upthebackside' ofc.

I was curious about what he said in the Tiktok about the Trussel Trust so I popped open their legally required annual report and skipped the usual arse-fluffing pages to get to the financials   Looks like they're not exactly struggling for money? Although they were 'only' with £10mn spare for 2020.

Last year of working with charities has convinced me that the moment you find out the charity has a "financial officer" that's it, walk the gently caress away. That's your shark jumping moment right there.

I already regret mentioning the cursed man's name  On a different note, I found a box full of old videogame manuals in my parents' attic (mostly PC and NES)— is there a specific collector's site or anything I should use to give them to somebody who'll value them? Somebody on the Discord already mentioned checking if they're on the internet archive which I'll do first.

Eh, my aunt asked me to check out a charity she donates to in Australia and their financial reports looked a lot less suspicious - income roughly matched expenditure and they didn't have loving stock investments like Trussell apparently does.

I'm financial officer for the charity I work for reconciling bank accounts, reconciling international donations, authorising payouts to our partner projects (which is what the charity was set up for), doing gift aid claims, checking paperwork for gift aid is in order in case HMRC send the stormtroopers in, doing the spreadsheets etc. (It's about 10hr per week of my time. Rem of my hours is admin). I'm paid pro rata of FTE £24k. We have a qualified accountant for the formal reporting to charities commission but she is a trustee and is paid zero.

I don't think I mentioned this but my disabled son got robbed by the charity "FairPlay" this year and I'm just going to flat out post what they did because gently caress them. The social services framework is unicorn dust for charities doing day groups, charities on the list have to be inspected, follow strict guidelines including "be affordable for all". It is the list of all the groups a local council will pay for on a purchase order (contract) no questions asked, no paperwork, you call the social worker and they do all the work and handle all the money. With the purchase order, which is what most people with a learning disability who live with family members have, how it works is a social worker goes to a local area panel asking for X hours at £ and they say yes. You have to pay 1/3 or £148 whichever is less out of your disability benefits per month, social services cover the rest. Direct payment is where the person is given a personal budget which is always handled by someone else, it cannot be a family member you live with. There are companies who will look after your finances but will charge you a fee to do it. If the person is using a personal budget for day groups the 1/3 or £148 is deducted. Direct payment is a scam, you are allowed to claim £500 a year in gifts from social services for the person running your account. So if you use a company not only do you have to pay a fee to them they get a £500 bonus - for something that, for the vast majority of people, could have been done by the county council for free on a purchase order. I get this letter on the Saturday. Note the companies willing to do a talk.  On the Monday morning I have to warn them that he is going to talk about going to a different group because we won't be switching to a personal budget. I go to pick him off and there is this posh twat calling himself a "chief financial officer" waiting for me. He was looking out the window and came steaming out, they wouldn't get my son until he had spoken to me. He then spend 10 mins bullying me, now I'm a hardass in real life and this was a solid wall of harassment even for me. He simply wouldn't take no for an answer and kept on pushing these companies at me. My lad saw me out the window and pushed his way out. Last time we went near the place. Next day I find new group and call social worker who is apologetic, agreed with me and said he was talking poo poo when he said I was the only one who would have problem with switching, especially since the group no longer had any oversight or budget cap. She says it's 2 weeks notice but she will try and get them down to a week. Oh no. The contract they have with social services means they need 4 weeks notice. So now I have to pay £148 and the £90 in fees to the new group because you can only have one active purchase order at a time. These people are a scam. The building is given to them by social services, they are staffed by volunteers and yet they charge £1-10 a day in extras on top of the £64 per day they get from the service user. Then there is charity walks, national lottery grants and on and on. Where the gently caress is all that money going to? Because there is no way £64 was spent on my lad. Do not use FairPlay or anyone connected to it. Cunts.

All else aside... how does the party switch work? Like, 90% of labour would still need to want to vote for that, and the SNP can vote for it regardless of whether they are SNP or LAB. Does she think that switching to labour magically moves their seats into england???

Diet Crack posted:If you needed more reasons to hate this talentless hack of a country Eh, I'm convinced this kinda stuff is fixed. Even if something like gently caress the Tories was more popular, an exec with the final call on things would just push the button for "feel good pleb win" to push out whatever they felt was politically appropriate for the number 1. I mean, who's gonna verify the numbers aren't made up. Speaking of potentialities fixed. Watching these Christmas episodes of Bargain hunt (and that both teams actually won) have just made me realise how they're edited. The contestants, the auctioneer, the actual products being auctioned, the audience and the online bidding system never seem to be shown in the same shot together. They could (and maybe are) just makong it up as they go along. There's not even a post catchup with the bidder who bought any of the tat they're trying to flog.

I suspect that will be blamed on kids these days. Or just more likely as ever, people who think like that will not have their letters published in the papers or invited to talk at length on TV, because there must always be A Balanced View so even if 90% of the country were living a poo poo life they would find some bellend who is doing absolutely fine to make sure we don't give the impression there is an actual right answer.
