Not wanting to make light of this topic, but what is meant by ‘historic abuse’? It’s not like there’s another type?

It means that whatever it was (cough, noncing, cough) it happened a long time ago, usually at least 10-15 years ago, and often longer.

What the gently caress is up with those borders? Mainly in Scotland. Like, it definitely isn't council areas, it can't be shires because there's no Moray or Nairnshire, & the bit that includes Inverness is all wrong for Invernessshire. I'm confused. That or the map maker just made it up because who care about them teuchters?

Hello, dear
i remember at school the gulls would start circling the playground about 10 minutes before every break/lunch time, every day

i lived near the school and what's even more interesting is they seemed to know when there were and weren't people in the school because the first day of any holiday they'd be nowhere to be seen

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?
One time I was having fish and chips on Brighton pier with a mate, and this seagull was sitting on a fencepost nearby watching us. At one point another gull came along and the first gull flew away, letting the other one take its place for about ten minutes. Then gull 1 returned (it had a distinctive little mark on its neck) and gull 2 flew off to let it resume its post. Loo break I suppose.

Gull chat:

One time I was in Bristol walking along the edge of the waterfront stuffing a Greggs baguette in my cake 'ole when this gull swooped down over my head and literally stole it from my mouth where I was just tearing a bit off & there was about half a ham & cheese baguette there. I shook my fist at it and shouted 'fascist' at it to the bemusement of those around me.

On the contrary, I think you'll find that seagull was living up to Karl Marx's principles. From each according to their ability (person who can buy or make a baguette) to each according to their need (hungry seagull)

It's a bit mean-spirited, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the stories of people who looked at their expired passport and thought "It'll be fine to go on holiday with this", only to find out [shock] that it wasn't fine.

I've seen Bristol gulls swallow pigeon corpses whole like a pelican, they're maybe just on the verge of being full-on eldritch abominations at this point.

Apparently this is a thing.
But I just googled and apparently you should still remove all debris just not water-clean them.

A leaked strategy document seen by the Guardian in 2021 advised Labour to make “use of the [union] flag, veterans [and] dressing smartly” as part of a rebranding.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/mar/30/starmer-faces-discontent-as-labour-mps-criticise-election-flyers-union-jacks

quote:

Keir Starmer is facing discontent from Labour MPs over the dominant use of the union flag in election campaign material amid concern it may alienate ethnic minority voters and others.

Concerns were raised at recent meetings of the party’s black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) group at Westminster and also by London members of the parliamentary Labour party. There is also unhappiness among some activists who are reluctant to handle the material.

There was criticism from those at a meeting of MPs from ethnic minority backgrounds, including Starmer’s chief of staff, Sue Gray, and the chief whip, Alan Campbell, of freepost leaflets that were – as one MP put it – “plastered with union jacks”.

It's as if Starmer doesn't know that half the world calls it "The Butcher's Apron".

Labour may as well just rebrand themselves UKIP & get it over with.

Countertop may be less of an issue but it might excessively clean them that can cause things to fade off. Or it isn’t dishwasher safe.

It’s brilliant! Mine isn’t large enough to handle full-size dinner plates but it’s so nice to just have all the small plates, tea mugs, cutlery etc taken care of. Yeah my kitchen is very small as well so it sits in the corner next to the sink. I got one of these, largely because I didn’t want the hassle of plumbing the thing in (I fill it with a jug for each wash).

I actually upset my wife a bit yesterday as we were discussing this and she'd misinterpreted the story and somehow thought you needed 10 years left on your passport to go to Europe now, and I was just dumbfounded at how the story could be so badly mistaken. For the couple in the news recently, their problem was that pre-2018 passports have an extra 9 months on their expiry date, but the EU won't let you in if it was issued over 10 years ago (even if the passport says it's valid). So the error is slightly more understandable but anyone travelling with less than a year left on their passport really should be checking before they travel no matter what. And also renew sooner to get that sweet new passport colour, of course.

This happens so often - messaging getting misinterpreted. I keep seeing articles with people saying they're never coming to Wales again because of the 20mph speed limit.
The way this was portrayed in the media was as if ALL roads in Wales would be 20mph whereas it's only within populated areas, not on the open road (where people can still drive at 40, 50, 60mph). I even thought that it meant all roads until I looked in to it.
I did have another example but by the time I came to write it down it had gone again. (Wish you could replay the last minute of braincells actions!)

Anyone have any experience with anti vibration mats? I have a cat fountain upstairs that sends a low hum into the floor below it, so I put it on a flannel and it massively reduced the noise.

I bought some of these looking for a long term fix https://amzn.eu/d/dIUhUQG and they made it worse! They seem to amplify the vibrations. What the hell am I doing wrong? I figured maybe as it's so lightweight compared to a washer they aren't absorbing any of the vibrations, and the mats changed the frequency to have more resonance with the joist but what else do I do?
