Just had a horrible moment where the head of retail at a large childrens charity told me we’re turning into a “snowflake nation” with people moaning and crying about nothing. He’s a white guy in his mid fifties so fits the profile somewhat. Have you seen this morning about making Tinkerbell black, he said. “THEY WANT TO loving GROW UP” “THEY WANT TO COME AND WORK IN MY OFFICE TRYING TO IGNORE A BLACK AMBULANCE PULLING INTO THE KIDS HOSPICE” “loving Tinkerbell, they can gently caress OFF” Phew. Wondered where he was going with that!

If I capture someone who’s come here on a small boat, can I keep him? I can’t see any other way to interpret it!

happyhippy posted:I know this isn't related, but thought I would share Also not related, but I found out yesterday our local crazy-but-nice guy who lives in a caravan in the woods used to be some kind of broker for insurance deals when large companies merged, on a six- figure salary. He hit 40, decided he’d had enough, and now works as a gardener, supplements it with a bit of weed dealing, and says if he was looking at having to get a “proper” job he’d just slink off and die in the woods instead. Never had such respect for a man who thinks covid was a hoax and Joe Rogan knows what he’s talking about.

Every single thing about this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. And with that damning indictment of my comedic taste, could I possibly ask if anyone would be prepared to read a sitcom pilot a friend and I have written? It’s been edited by a proper script editor so it won’t be mechanically a chore to get through, can’t necessarily promise the same for the plot and so-called jokes. I’d be massively grateful for a volunteer who’s prepared to both read it and give me some critique.

As a mid- forties guy living in derbyshire, everyone my age-ish calls them fags or tabs. Not that it comes up much these days. I found a full pack of fags at a motorway services last week, and described it as such to my friends. Didn’t even occur to me until later that I maybe want to excise that from my vocabulary.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Surely it's only Americans who get confused by the term? Must we modify our language because of Americans? I kick myself everytime I use the word 'movie' instead of 'film'. In the sitcom I’ve written (and several kind people from this thread have recently received a pilot script for) I went through and swapped out every instance of “TV” for “telly.” It was a good way to tell if it had been me or my writing partner actually putting the words in. He’s fifteen years younger than me and honestly, we can barely understand one another sometimes.

All these complaints about weed smells when the Xmax Starry/Xmax v3 Pro are things that exist and can be had for cheaper than 3 or 4 packs of fags.

Barry Foster posted:Man I hated the Starry, it would get clogged up so easily and was a huge PITA to clean The trick with most vapes and definitely the Starry is to take all the ‘stuff’ out the head and replace it with a little bit of gauze. If it stops bits getting in your mouth, and you can clean it with fire, it’s all you need. By god I miss skinning up though. I loved rolling joints so much. Edit: what a snipe! Have a pic of some fossil turds I found in the village stream yesterday.

Cartridges for weed vapes, really? I’ve never seen such a thing. The instructions often talk about “dabs” and I have no idea what that is either. I fill mine with bits of an actual plant one of my neighbours grows in a suspiciously whitewashed greenhouse on the allotments. Edit: or buy it from the madman who lives in the woods of course. The normal ways of getting weed.

Camrath posted:It loving sucked. They did not. When I was at primary school they did an assembly about “everyone’s different, don’t make fun” and brought all the “different” kids to the front. There was Richard the haemophiliac who couldn’t go out at break, Mark with horrible scars on his neck and chest from a hot water burn as a baby, and Steven, who was black. My friend Ailsa was called up because she had red hair, but demurred. I’m sure there were more. I’m also pretty sure it made things immediately and directly worse for all the children involved.

Looking for some advice - a colleague has been with the business about six months, she’s having a horrendous run of bad luck - wisdom teeth, covid, a bunch of other things which means she can’t work effectively. She’s gone onto SSP and is really struggling with, for example, food and mortgage. I’ve helped her out as much as I can but is there anything she should or could be applying for? I’ve just told her to call her bank to see if she can suspend mortgage payments.

Chap and his wife occasionally go past in a little scrap-built buggy thing, rattling and banging along pulled by two hairy little swamp horses, look like they’re having the time of their life every drat time.
