Hello, dear
who the gently caress encounters care workers doing the most essential and undervalued work in society and gets into a stew wondering if they're going home to a family in their free time

I'm reminded yet again of my 90+ year old ex neighbour, who once confided in me that she voted to leave the EU because, in her words: "I'm fed up struggling to understand all the accents of these foreign nurses and doctors."

People like this walk among us. People like this also vote.

My mum has been slowly getting more subtly racist the older shes gotten. From "but aren't they cold?" To "but why do they have to come here?" To the most recent a few months ago while reversing her car some not white gents walked behind her causing her to tut and say they were "looking for camels" which I questioned and she got very snippy saying "it's just a phrase, it doesn't mean anything!"


It's not a phrase I could find.

I just think paranoid delusions grip most of our elderly. Mostly due to the news they all still consume on a daily basis.

Oh and she does nothing but complain about all the non white care workers in the hospital and the non white cleaners we have. Yay.

“Looking For Badgers” was a euphemism once used by an MP who got caught by the papers in a wood cruising for some rough trade.

There's probably one of those grid diagrams for it. Orange is the form or whatever, chocolate the medium and mint the flavour.

I've never had a bloodshot! Sad to hear I've missed my chance to get the true experience. I'm planning on going for dinner there in a couple of weeks, me and now-husband went there for our first date so every few years we go back for our anniversary (19th this year!). I will finally try the bloodshot this time.

Yeah the foods decent. Me & my missus love the stuff but if it takes about 2 pints to get rid of the choking taste of paprika from a 25ml shot they're doing something wrong. Sure they have a variety on the shotlist that doesn't have it in, I'll check if we're walking by anytime soon, I don't drink in Soho as much as I used to.

I always read that as "rule by khakis" as in the even more disrespectful variant of 'tan' popular in parts of Africa to refer to people who are probably At It Again. And I guess that also works out in this instance if Sue Gray and Kier Starmer are running it on behalf of the security services free opinions of the British people.

As opposed to "rule by car keys" which is swinging

Mint ice cream is poo poo but sometimes it turns out to be pistachio instead, which while already amazing is improved drastically by the whiplash of depression to joy that the mint to pistachio pathway provides.

I used to love mint ice cream and I had some a few weeks ago and I hated it. I'm blaming the HRT.

Bought the chocolate orange with mini eggs. Couldn't get the orange but found the choccy bar. Can confirm it's good, tastes exactly like m&ms but inside out.
E: also mint ice cream is one of my favorites only beaten out by Pralines and cream, Dulce de leche, Belgian chocolate and pistachio.

Schools will get greater powers to ban mobiles

Mobile phones will be banned in schools in England under guidance issued to head teachers today in an ­attempt to minimise disruption and ­improve behaviour in classrooms.

The nationwide rules will give ­backing to teachers in prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day, including at break times. Pupils who breach the ban face ­detention as well as having their ­phone confiscated for as long as the head teacher deems necessary.

The guidance also gives teachers the power to search rucksacks and the legal protection from being sued by parents for loss or damage to confiscated devices.

It's going to be legal for teachers to steal phones :toot:
