Clearly the reason he's done it. He knows that if he says that, Starmer will immediately copy the position.

Shaking someone's hand while touching their elbow (ok he missed a bit) is supposed to indicate sincerity and warmth. And Macron's body language (hand in pocket while shaking hands) apparently means: quote:A third mistake is to shake hands with your other hand in your pocket, on your hip, or behind your back, as this can indicate a lack of interest, confidence, or respect. To avoid these mistakes, always stand up when you shake hands, move around any obstacles, and keep your other hand visible and relaxed.25 Aug 2023

If someone touches your elbow during a handshake are you allowed to touch their elbow? Or does that risk leaning into the "hug-not-hug" nightmare confusion scenario

Danger - Octopus! posted:See also: cuts to GP services meaning people can't as easily get (or are discouraged from trying to get) the checks that will catch early signs of all sorts of problems, or can't get the followup appointments they need to deal with these so are left with long-term sicknesses. How could etc I literally just deleted a post i was gonna make complaining about this very thing with my GP. Sent an appointment request because I've had covid for 2 weeks and starting to develop chest infection symptoms like the ones I've had on and off for the last year. Infections that got me a couple of rounds of antibiotics, an inhaler and an appointment for asthma test in November the last time I came in. I also mentioned that I was waiting for results from an xray I got for my last chest infection a few weeks back. The response I got was: "Thank you for your recent eConsult request. I'm sorry to hear about the ongoing covid symptoms. It is quite common for these to go on for several weeks, it often can take a long time to resolve. I hope you feel better soon. Kind regards, dr Fobemoff" I've had this particularly doctor before (she's the on call doctor you get if you don't specify someone) and she pretty much always just says things are fine, go home. I just wish I could remember the name of the doctor who i saw last time as he actually kept track of my records. He also said some disparaging things about one of the other doctors who had hosed up some tests for me previously. The kinda stuff that showed he actually gave a poo poo you know. He even rang me up once a week while I had the infections to see if my condition was getting any better and if I needed more antibiotics or whatever.

Eh, technically, they've shut down/taken over the CLP because the discussion of said paedophile reflects badly on the party (because he was supported by those loyal to the leadership) and it just so happens that the decision about candidacy for next year's election was due at the same time. Labour HQ will have gently caress-all explaining to do when their chums in the media gloss over it.

There's a figure of £550m for foreign aid in the middle east that I found with a cursory search, so it looks like she wrote the wrong numbers down in the wrong place. Or she was drunk. Tory MP, so it's a 50/50 of incompetence/alcoholism.

Thanks to the poster who pointed out covid jabs are now available. Got both COVID and flu shots yesterday. Now if only I could stop wanting to feel like I want to die as I lie here shivering, unable to move either of my arms.  Far less bad than either the flu or any form of covid mind, which everyone seems to be coming down with at work again now the weather has turned. Small consolation and random garden report , I have harvested all the chillies I planted now and there shall be much pickling and tasty curries. The poblanos didn't grow big enough this year as I need a much bigger pot, but they're bloody tasty, and I made possibly the tastiest curry I've ever made by combining home grown padrons with a Madras to make a sort of Jalfrezidras. Do recommend! Not too impressed with basket of fire chillies, pretty plant, high yield, underwhelming chilli. Padrons, Birdseye and Poblanos all totally worthwhile in the UK. Everything else died. Also tried growing a few exotic herbs like perilla leaves , first 30 seedlings failed even in heated trays apart from two which a cat then ate.
