I ended up saddled with a Patterdale terrier and she's been far better at keeping rats down than a cat ever was. No playing with them, just a quick shake and it's all over. Far more active about it too, thought I'd lost her one day only to hear her crying inside our compost bin, she'd tunnelled up and into it to kill the rats in there but couldn't dig her way out!

bit late on this one but you can tell he's wrong'un because he's listed his bachelors postnominally and also his membership of errr the chartered institute of journalists (which does not require you to be a journalist), the british computer society (which will have anyone with an interest in computers) and the institute of directors (which doesn't require you to be a company director)... and then listed them all postnominally as well!

no shade on any of those organisations but basically you pay couple hundred quid to be an associate member and that's that

I enjoy how all the people who are usually like "Red China has a social credit system where you're banned from riding the bus if you don't praise Chairman Ho Chi Minh fifty times a day, I will never carry Labour's digital ID on my freedom as an Englishman!" are straight onboard with docking 'benefits' for 'anti-social behaviour'.

A social credit system is when they're subject to it, asbos are for other people. Same with all applications of the law and carceral system.

I'd argue he's worse sometimes. "Sensible journalist Isabel Oakshott argues we should burn all refugees in their tiny boats, and then use the ashes to make diamonds for the King's new hat.

And arguing against her is crazy lefty gay man Owen Jones, so you'll be frothing over with boiling piss imagining what he might say instead of listening.

I obviously remain neutral by agreeing with the opinions that sound right to me, which just happens to be Isabel because I was too angry to hear anything while Owen was speaking."

Yeah listing postnominals is pretty suspect anywhere*, but especially lol at those. I'm pretty sure I got AMBCS for free with my degree and then lost it again because I didn't pay the membership fees.

Also need to add the oxens and cants as appropriate, but none other for some reason. Always wanted one from the University of Oklahoma, so I could have U.OK (Hons) in my postnominals.

Grand-Maman m'a raconté
(Les éditions des amitiés franco-québécoises)

Hello, dear

i recently took part in an online deliberative town hall meeting chaired by simon hoar (whore) and there was an MP from the DUP, SLDP and Alliance. I was pretty surprised by how detailed his ideas were about constitutional reform in NI. it would give me the laugh of the century if Rishi pulled the rug from under the DUP's feet and reformed the NI institutions so an assembly can be formed with power to nominate a depty FM passing to the third largest party (Alliance - who DUP hate arguably more than the shinners these days) loooool

Did not get Hons, I was bad at universitying. But did win the Latin prize in 4th year, perhaps I should put that after my name.
