Right wing Tory press have been proudly stating tonight that 'limited services' have restarted for Royal Mail international parcels and letters that require customs declarations. So I had to go to the Royal Mail website and read the official statement, and half way down the page there it is:  Those limited services are only for people in Northern Ireland, and only for sending packages to Ireland. That's it. That's the 'workaround' and 'limited' services that are being offered, and that's likely all there will be for a while. It's not been possible to send international parcels since the 12th fuctifino fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Jan 21, 2023 |

Whenever all the cool kids used to pile into the car and not bother with their seat belt and then stare as I dutifully put mine on, I reminded them my Dad was a Fireman and the stories I had heard. Seat belts save lives.

I think its easier for NI to do this as everything gets sent to Belfast to get sorted, and all Republic of Ireland stuff is thrown onto the mail train down to Dublin. So its all just there, don't need any cyber attack to gently caress it up.

An American pro wrestler died in a car accident this week and it turned out he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, and following the coverage in various places it felt like for every comment online about how the death is a tragedy and maybe if he’d worn his seatbelt he might have had a better chance (he was hit head on by another driver who also died but was wearing a seatbelt, so maybe not but still) there was someone else from  insisting that no, seatbelts aren’t that great, there’s also a chance that not wearing it could have let them be thrown from the wreckage safely, and so on.

How do you gently caress up a photo opp like that? Boris ran full-steam into a small child, flattening the poor kid in the process, and at least looked human doing it.

Career politicians are just so deeply inhuman. Look at me! I'm relatable. Fucksake. He'd be more relatable if he said "you know, I really like excel, let me show you my pivot tables" *alt tabs into giant table of ways to lock up the poor* "whoops not that one! Here!

Kieth looks more like the sort of person who would 'ride to hounds'. I can imagine him in a red tail coat, beige breeches & riding hat. My god, you can actually buy these things on redbubble!  Narrator: Reader, she doesn't.

History Comes Inside! posted:[seat belts] ...thrown from the wreckage safely... These people are lunatics similar to the flat-earthers. Have they given any thought to the logistics of how this would work? "Thrown from the wreckage" means you're exiting your vehicle though the windscreen at a relative speed of 100mph, probably leaving the lower half of your body behind, and coming to a stop 15 yards away having used your face as a brake. (I just made these numbers up to get the point across, in a similar way to these fantasists.) Wear your seatbelts you silly bastards.

Making the rounds again: this poo poo It's tempting to line by line dismiss it that pasta has a record in England dating back to the 14th century (possibly brought by Franciscans) or that herbal tea had a massive revival in the 20s with the modern herbalist movement or that Wales (and Cornwall and Ireland) have used lafwr/sleabhac in cooking since forever, but whatever refined Anglo palate wrote that probably thinks that Truro is that town in Spain where they found God's bedsheets so there's no point.

(I just made these numbers up to get the point across, in a similar way to these fantasists.) They are often the same people who think that more people having guns would stop mass shooter instances. Instead of it becoming a chaotic mess, each person with a gun is treated as having a Robocop style targeting system which allows them to only shot bad guys...in the balls. It's the same with seat belts. They just imagine being ejected from the car, brushing off some small shards of glass and saying "that was a close one."

The one crash I've been in, my seat belt kept me safely in my seat as the van rolled over and over down the embankment and we all walked away with some mild bruising. But I reckon being thrown around the inside of the cab like a bag of mince in a washing machine might have been even better.

I do remember in the 70s around Xmas time, there suddenly seemed to be a Very Large binman knocking on the door for the Christmas Box and if it wasn't big enough or didn't exist then your rubbish would be thrown all around your garden path for weeks on end. Sigh - oh for the proper Binmen.

Ironically, I’ve heard that Keith genuinely is a huge football fan, really into it and everything, in comparison to Corbyn who far more casually supports Arsenal. But because he’s such a weird robot man no one believes it, while Jeremy seems like a real person so everyone buys that he’s Arsenal to the bone.
