If I knew where to get a half-decent jam doughnut in Nottingham I'd go elsewhere! https://www.doughnottsofficial.com/ (they are very very not worth the money)

Just catching up on the whole chips debate, if people want to settle this once and for all the owners of our local Chinese chippy have gone to China for six weeks and I have their keys and burglar alarm code. Six weeks is long enough for a proper empirical study, right?

A woman on the tube berated me for giving a fiver to a beggar and then hopped off the train at Farringdon to “make a report” to the one loving copper working the underground today. I thought you Londoners stayed out of other people’s business?

That’s what I thought! She was wearing green converse, had a tribal tattoo on her arm, and some ungodly red colouring in her hair - all signs of some kind of foreigner in my opinion.

I’m driving down to Exeter today because a charity called the Exeter Leukaemia Fund selfishly has its hq in Exeter rather than, for example, Nottingham and gently caress me it’s a long way. I’ve been driving for two hours and I’m only halfway there. I managed to listen to radio 4 for nearly twenty minutes before realising I’d prefer a podcast about d&d, or a talking book about the Second World War, or just silence. My dad still listens to radio 4 every day and I’m definitely seeing where the brain worms sneak in.

The woman in my office who calls her son a little poof, or gayboy, or human being (to his face) today was letting everyone know that gay men are more likely to be pedos aren’t they, she’s not being horrible, it’s just a thing, everyone knows it. Last time I called someone out I got told off and when I said “I’m not listening to that poo poo” got told it’s not my place to correct people, we have a complaints process. Soooo.... made the formal complaint, and then got up and left. My “not going to listen to that poo poo” was never formally addressed so I’m treating it as my current position on the matter. I’m cross, but I’m also home by three and drinking a beer in the garden. Not sure how I feel about all this, or how it’ll play out next week. Cam, sorry to hear about your friend. Hope she joins us here.

I am going to a funeral today, and am currently in BIG TROUBLE for suggesting a 22 year old man should have more organisation for his own grandfather’s funeral than knocking on my door three hours in advance and asking if I’ve got a black jacket he can borrow (I don’t). The youth of today, honestly. Some people. This country.

OwlFancier posted:A lot of people don't deal well with death. No it’s 100% that he’s a lazy useless prick who is totally unprepared for his mum having more poo poo going on this weekend than having to dress her adult son. Also I was just filming my dog investigating a giant pickled gherkin that has mysteriously appeared outside my house overnight and happened to catch a tesco delivery driver messing with her satnav as she pulled away from the kerb. I was already composing the complaint letter in my head when I realised I was about to take a swing at tesco and achieve nothing but getting some lass fired. Keep an eye on yourselves folks, you might accidentally be a massive self-righteous oval office without realising.

Yeah sorry, put on edge by him complaining that “his loving mum didn’t even sort his clothes out” and that my wife and I offered to take him with us two weekends in a row to get sorted out for today. Don’t turn down offers of help for almost a fortnight then start making out like its your mum’s fault you’re not ready. Add in that he didn’t bother to visit his grandad for the last three years of his life and I’m standing by “he’s a prick”. STILL TOOK HIM INTO TOWN TO BUY HIM A JACKET DIDN’T I

Despite the last minute scramble for clothing my brother in law behaved himself and hugged his mum and only rolled his eyes a little bit when he discovered that there’s a thing after the funeral that he’s got to go to. On related matters, does anyone know how to do a keepsake box or something? My family don’t go in for this at all but my wife does and she was super close to her grandad. I’ve got the order or service, a copy of the eulogy, a photo of my wife and her grandad together, and the gift tag from the last Christmas gift he sent her before he succumbed to dementia. If anyone with an artistic turn of mind can suggest what I might do with these things or point me towards a company that does this stuff as a service that would be amazing.

Diet Crack posted:You can find some decent suits and jackets in op shops. I’ve picked up loads of good stuff for £5 and you’re supporting a good cause. You also tend to get proper wool suits rather than the polyester poo poo which is awful. Well he’s got a nice one now that I totally don’t mind getting for him, I was just pissed off that he passed over two opportunities then tried to make out like it was his mums fault he wasn’t ready this morning. I was fully on board with needing to hand out ties and help do them up - who wears a tie these days - just expected they could sort themselves out with, for example, trousers. Anyway his plate at the wake was seventeen sausage rolls plus a bowl of monster munch so I’ve warmed up to him a lot. thespaceinvader posted:Ideally, make the things not just be things about the funeral.

Looking for some help arguing with an ultra-centrist libdem here - does anyone have an up-to-date counter to "so why are Labour bombing in the polls if JC has played it so well over the past week"? I don't think I've seen any polls for about a fortnight.

OwlFancier posted:I'd say that we definitely don't debate ITT, we argue/discuss stuff but we absolutely don't debate. Yeah and that's how minds get changed. There's a few opinions I've held that on reflection were very bad and wrong; people in this thread saying "hmm, these seem to be the opinions of a oval office, you might want to look at them again" is a good thing. I don't actually believe these centrist types believe in the importance of decorum - it's an easy out when you're losing the argument (which they normally are).

jammyozzy posted:Hi all, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with a work hours issue my mum is having? I can probably help with this if you want to PM me a copy of the contract. Look for a clause along the lines of "failure to deliver to one aspect/term/clause of this contract does render other aspects invalid" or something like that. She's contracted to do 20 hours a week and didn't (which I would strongly argue is on employer rather than employee), but that is irrelevant when considering future weeks where she is also contracted to do 20 hours a week. Edit: sorry, misunderstood - thought he was saying she needed to pay the time back. I'd need to see the contract and see how the terms around remuneration are worded.

A guy at work loves Dark Souls and raves about it, got the board game and all the extras to go with it, and after two attempts to play (one at work, one at home) he put all the models in a shelf to look at and put the game bits in the attic and tried to forget about it. Not a good game.
