The Perfect Element posted:Yeah, ever since I started having home working as an option, I pretty much never call in sick. It's easy enough to keep your head down for a day or two if you have a cold, especially if you whinge about it just a little... Yeah unless you physically can't work it just feels like a waste not to log on and do what you can (even if it's from bed). Gotta keep that Bradford factor low in case you need it later.

Not finishing a loaf the day you get it always feels like a waste of freshness. If someone didn't already come up with some sort of daily bread delivery subscription during lockdown they should.

OwlFancier posted:If he's been sick for weeks did he actually catch it on holiday lol? If he only tested positive the other day presumably he caught it in the hospital he was staying in. I can't imagine the holiday helped though since he would've been admitted with pneumonia pretty soon after they got back.

I don't know anything about him beyond the walking about which was good and fine. It's the country's celebration of it all that turned my stomach. The idea that the loving NHS should be funded by the elderly arranging charity drives. The fact that the government and every brand under the sun used and abused him for feelgood cheer points while sweeping every cut, failure and unnecessary death under the carpet. The family of posh cunts standing behind him for every photo op, enjoying their freebies and holidays. It's sickening. This thread sums it up nicely: https://twitter.com/mlothianmclean/status/1356636809170718725?s=19

I'm sure they'll find enough people doing it (preferably adorable children and olds) to fill a heartwarming news piece on BBC later tonight and show just how effective clapping is at bringing the country together.

Out of interest what sort of stuff has Burgon said that hasn't gone down well? I've only recently seen him speaking about the Manchester tier nonsense and he came across really well in that. I really would like Sultana but I dread to imagine the savaging she'd get from the press. Think what AOC gets now multiplied by a factor of ten.

peanut- posted:The mid 80s was when UK banks moved to a model of free accounts subsidised by punishing charges on stuff like unplanned overdrafts. Yeah our way usually ends up being pretty predatory. Though at least most (all?) banks have the option of blocking transactions that would push you into overdraft and incur a charge.

I've been doing the YouGov daily surveys for a little while now and they're just so loving bad. Most of the long form paid surveys are extremely confusing and full of questions that are massively open to interpretation. This poo poo today though: "Thinking about films and television made several decades ago that contain content that may be regarded by some people today as being sexist or racist, do you think such films or television can or cannot still be enjoyable?" It seems tailor made to generate a swathe of 'Brits reject PC censorship of classic blackface sitcoms' when everyone says old films can be enjoyable. Considering everything made before 2010 (and pretty much everything after) has something that could be seen as racist or sexist today it's incredibly disingenuous. stev fucked around with this message at 13:09 on Feb 5, 2021 |

I really like Off Menu but it's one of those that's far better if you just pick and choose the episodes with guests who actually interest you. There are quite a few I've not heard of so I don't get much out of hearing whether they prefer poppadoms or bread.

Jakabite posted:You not going on holiday isn't going to do poo poo - it's systemic issues that are killing the planet. Fulfil your dream, you only get one life and you won't feel any better if the world burns for having deprived yourself of the one thing you want to do more than anything. Yeah the idea of deliberately depriving myself of any travel for the rest of my life out of a misplaced sense of guilt is wild to me. It's not like most people want to go on ten long haul trips per year.
