If anything they had too many clothes on.

On the way to work I passed a house that had a sign in the garden that read "Lib Dems Winning Here" so it's nice that the Lib Dems have won a garden.

I voted for the Lib Dem fella in the Councillor by election as he was the only candidate that came round knocking doors and actually answering questions. Also had some decent aims. As I was walking back home my neighbour two doors down told me he also voted for the Lib Dem as he was "the only white person on the menu." So I got to vote the same way as a racist, which is 'great' :(

Eh, racist people vote for the right people by accident all the time. At least he didn't say he was voting Labour now they've gotten rid of the "anti-semantic" muzzie-lover from before.

Oh he can't vote for Labour because of their love of muslims and PC culture. Also something about Starmer only eating French bread.

Welsh Labour hold Newport East in the Senedd and increase their vote share. 9,229 last time round 10,899 this time round. Good to see the UKIP vote collapse 4,333 last time round 368 this time round. Turn out was only 38% though.

Isn't she British? Where would you deport her to?

She is! It was a dumb tweet, because it could easily be interpreted as: "Why not deport Patel; she isn't properly British anyway ('cos she's brown)."

Suspending him's a dumb over-reaction though.

I don't think he's a racist but it isn't a good look. "She should be deported from her job." or something like that would have been better.

I don't work near a computer so I cannot post during work hours, unless I finish the shift very early and get home in time. Then it's being paid to post and sleep, the great dream.

Apparently Wales one of the world's top recyclers

quote:

In 2017, environmental analysts Eunomia named Wales the third best recycler in the world - behind only Germany and Taiwan.

England recycled just 45.5% of its waste in 2019-20, with rates as low as 19% in some local authorities.

Recycling rates in Northern Ireland (51.3%) and Scotland (44.9%) were also much lower than in Wales.

A recent survey suggested almost three-quarters of people in Wales saw recycling as a positive social norm, with those living in rural areas also more inclined to recycle. Could it be this?

Which is nice.

I always notice when I go back to my parents that they can recycle far more things than I can and that the advice they get on what is and isn't recyclable and how to best prepare stuff is much much clearer than what I get in England.

When my mum went to Jersey to help my aunt recover from an illness she was shocked at how little recycling they did. She said she felt guilty when she had to throw so much stuff out.

The localised English usage that irritates me most is when Welsh people say "now in a minute"

One I've been hearing more of lately and quite like is people from the Rhondda describing someone as "a beauty." Not meaning they are very attractive but they are stupid or annoying. For example if you were on the motorway and someone in the middle lane was doing 50 you might say "this guys a beauty, ie."

So in No poo poo Sherlock news, Dacre was found unsuitable for the Ofcom job. Unfortunately Johnson has decided to rerun the whole process and have another go. I assume the interview board will be packed with lackies first.

Tories just doing what they want with impunity.

Remember when that old veteran got a yogurt on him and the the whole of England went off like it was the worst thing to happen and then it got found out that the only wars he did was beating some Irish civilians?

Maybe that was the milkmen too.

Was that the one that had a bit on his shirt around his torso and it was obvious he did it himself?

Called my mum earlier and she asked "Do Newport County have any coloured players?" (They're in the League Two play off final.) When I said they did she said "They'll be getting abuse if Newport lose." I think I should go round and take her laptop off her :ohdear:

Did she follow it up "they'll be getting abuse, from me"?

For a moment it did seem like she meant that she'd be on twitter giving out. Thankfully she has no idea how to use most of social media, most of her Facebook usage is just smile reacting to posts.

Morecambe are managed by an old Ross County manager and apparently have the lowest budget of all the league teams so I hope they win.

Although the old manager was a bit of a bellend, he did take us to the Premiership for the first time off the back of an almost-unbeaten season (one loss, in the first game of the season)

Morcambe have the lowest budget? County pay their players in fag ends they find on the street so I'd hate to think what Morcambe use. But they won so they can be happy with that.


Good. Shut up and gently caress off.
