It's ultimately meaningless, but I did feel it was kinda nice that all this focus came down on someone who, to look at her, was the platonic ideal of a sweet little old lady. Just looking at Charles he looks like exactly what he is, an inbred, out of touch aristo oval office who wouldn't even acknowledge you if you were on fire. He can't even pretend he has a sense of duty to his wife, never mind the country.

Makes me think of the characters from Goodness Gracious Me whose whole thing is insisting on their Britishness despite being middle class Indian couples. Didn’t fully get it myself until I met my wife’s dad who despite being a proud Trinidadian has also absorbed all the British traditions around loving the monarchy, insisting on table manners, complaining about there being too many immigrants, etc.

I know a guy of indian descent who embodies all our finest British traditions.

Because bi means two and exactly two and if they're going to keep inventing all these new sexes then I'm constantly going to have to keep updating which two I pick instead of chilling the gently caress out and being attracted to whoever I'm attracted to.

Or we could admit that words don't always cleanly reflect reality, but still get used as a shorthand, like with bicarbonate. But they will never because of the

My mum has an interview at a toy shop next week and they've asked her to "bring in an object that represents your personality" for the interview. I've never worked retail so I've never had to participate in the sort of nonsense these interviews force you to do so I had no idea what to suggest when she asked me. Anyone got any advice I can steal and give to her?

Just seems to add an extra avenue for someone to be nervous about to me, I'd probably spend a billion hours thinking about that and nothing else and completely gently caress the interview when that takes up like 1% of it and they ask me some question I've not thought of but I am atrocious at interviews, all the jobs I've gotten I thought I'd utterly hosed the interview irrevocably and I've never gotten one where I thought I'd nailed the interview. I'd think you just want someone personable who can empathise with someone buying toys and suggest stuff if they get asked what might be good, but I suppose companies just need to try and add some "innovation" to what should be a simple thing.

Hopefully she gets it, she really enjoyed her last job which paid very well for retail and she still keeps in touch with/goes out for drinks with some of the other folks she used to work with so she actually had decent co-workers it would seem. Shame the place closed all of its shops in the UK really.

This sounds like it could just be a wanky way of saying "your favourite toy"
