I'm really glad I bought that Father Ted boxset second hand so glinner didn't get any money. Weirdly I don't find myself having trouble rewatching it given his radical terf meltdown seems so utterly divorced from the nature of his earlier shows, I guess because he made it before going completely insane.

Father Ted is ok to watch, its a great loving show made by brilliant people at the time.
Glinner also wrote for Harry Enfield, Alexi Sayle, The Day Today, The Fast Show, Black Books.
No one mentions any guilt association watching those.

On that note, Coronation Street had a trans character starting in 1998:

Now I didn't actually watch Coronation Street but from what I've read others saying it seems to have been handled quite well?

Yeah it was handled excellently if I remember correctly. My family was a big fan of corrie back then, used to watch it together.
I seem to remember her husband Roy just went 'yeah so what' when asked about it and that was it really.
Course they had some characters written to be transphobe, after all its a story in a soap opera and you have to have tension.
But it ended up no one giving two shits about it.

I don’t know why I’m putting this here other than to vent, but I’d appreciate someone telling me that I’m not being a dick by being unwilling to do all of this shite and spend all this money on a trip I don’t want to take and which feels just super irresponsible.

Not a dick. Except for not sending me crates of free fudge every week. Dick.

We have a potential new outbreak going to peak at xmas or soon after, and poo poo may get bad again if the NHS gets overloaded too fast.
Asking anyone to goto another country right now where they may not get back for a few months if travel restrictions are added is ridiculous imo.
Especially when you can't escape the place for your own head's rest during it.
Just tell them its not worth the risk spreading or infecting everyone else.

I haven't seen my mother and our dog for 2 years now going on next week, and she hasn't met her first grandkid who was born in March.

There's a segment of the population which can't receive vaccines and I'd guess they're represented in the NHS as well? Plus the army of NHS workers who do back-office stuff and aren't in high risk roles.
Occupational health in the NHS does routinely offer vaccinations like Hep A to high-risk staff though, so it's not like this legislation is closing some gaping hole in our healthcare defences. It's just a silly stunt.

I saw a stat on Sky News, theres 94,000 unvacced, 9% of the NHS staff.

Seems to be 'an even more naughty boy'.
Can't prove he was speeding, so those laws don't count.
And the lesser charge is 'be in charge while drunk/drugs' which is just a fine and 10 points max.
This charge gives him upto a year in jail.

But he's Tory, so gently caress all apart from a warning.

Christmas music is meant to be ignored.
It was only hyped up because the BBC had sole control of the chart and playing of it for 50 years nearly.
Decades on decades of B/C/D/E list celebs with loving christmas songs trying to score that one more pay out, that are only used for interrogations nowadays by the US.
Now its social media stars because no music company is willing to pump in the massive amounts of money they used to.

Is anyone else old enough to remember free singles/eps (same size as singles but 33rpm instead of 45rpm) given out with Kerrang etc - really flimsy vinyl.

Am a Gen Xers on the end of the range, and my first vinyl was from a cover of Oink! magazine which came out in the mid eighties.
It was made and sung by Mark Riley who was in the Fall for a bit, Mark and Lard on Radio 1, and now is on Radio 6.
Had to play it in my grandmothers house as they were the only ones who had a player.

My one moderately spiced take on Christmas songs* is that that song is bad and the only reason people bang on about it being good is because it's got a naughty word in it

*Aside from the fact that Christmas songs are great. I'm the one in the office who sets the radio to Xmas FM and glues the dial in place for December

It's the only christmas song that people actively listen to on purpose just to see if its censored or not.

Just need some Grime or Mumble rapper to make a good xmas song to replace Fairytale.

That's probably the only one that suits every event at Christmas.
From work event to pub night out.
It's a singalong song with no lyrics that will be dated or naff over time.
