This Lee Anderson fella seems like a loving prickquote:People struggling with living costs were "more resourceful" in previous decades, the Tory deputy chairman has said.

kecske posted:just planting veg and keeping chickens in the windowboxes of my third floor flat (which is also wrapped in kindling) I have a garden I do plant veg in, I quite like growing veg but I couldn't have chickens as my landlord wouldn't allow it. What also pisses me off is that you'd have people like Anderson saying "Well, if Corbyn gets in we'll all be reduced to growing veg in our garden so we don't starve."

Out shopping with the missus and she saw a stand with a crystal she liked so as she was buying it the guy starts talking about the "vibrational energies" that would help us in our home and my missus said "oh I don't believe in any of that nonsense, I just think it will look pretty on the mantelpiece." For a second the guy had the saddest look on his face, he was crushed.

In my early twenties I joined a ghost hunting group in Newport for a short time, I did this for the same reason I did a lot of things there was a woman in the group I really fancied. However, it was a really interesting experience, the guy who ran it was a physics teacher and was trying his best to make our "investigations" as scientific as possible. While we never did see a ghost or find any evidence of one I learned a lot about the history of various places in Newport which was very interesting. If you get a chance to do an investigation I recommend it, they're quite an experience.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Not sure when you were in your early twenties but did you hear about the Jenny Craig centre (in Newport) weird goings on back in the 90s? It does ring a bell. I wasn't in my early twenties in the 90s but my mum used to go to some diet club at Duffryn community centre and I think that was Jenny Craig. I think she talked about another centre being haunted. Jaeluni Asjil posted:The problem with any of this stuff though is that the people with the scientific skills to explore these matters are too scared to do so because it might affect their grants / funding etc*. and the people that 'truly believe' don't want scientific evidence - even if it might support them in some way - because they prefer to believe in 'magic' and having a scientific explanation would ruin it for them. There are a surprising amount of scientists that do actual investigations into ghost/cryptids/UFOs etc... however, they either don't care to publicise their activities as it's more of a hobby or people don't care as it's not exciting or sexy enough.

Albinator posted:Pages of entertaining stories, but nobody's answered the most important question: was bessantj successful in getting off with Newport Velma? God no, the first investigation I was part of was at a lovely pub called The Tredegar Arms in Bassaleg. Ten minutes in she put both her palms and her cheek on a wall then turns and declares "there has been terrible events here, the wall is upset." It didn't get better from there. She brought twelve crystals and placed them around the pub to capture the ghost as "ghosts are the vibratonal energy of the emotions of those that have passed" and she'd tuned the crystals into the correct vibrational frequency. I asked Phil (The head of the investigation.) why he agreed to let her come along turns out she was his niece.

Well she did say she was a vessel for the spirit of a 'dewines', something like a sorceress, and that the spirit was Rhiannon (her own name), the mother of Prydreri from Welsh myth. It wouldn't have worked anyway she could only be with someone who had the same aura as her. grobbo posted:sorry to say that "the wall is upset" is delightful, and I would like to see a children's book with this title that ends with the whole family giving the wall a colourful paint makeover to cheer it up.

I've been reading some of the #itwasascam posts on twitter and I can't believe how naive I was. not long after Corbyn was ousted I thought that he could have gotten past it if he had fought more but there was nothing he could have done, the campaign against him was so complete.

Diet Crack posted:"The Ministry of Defence has apologised after an investigation found Afghan applicants to a resettlement scheme were told they could only come to the UK if their documents were approved by the Taliban" People are right to hate us. I have a problem and wonder if anyone here can help. We have a mouse in the house, the missus bought several mouse traps and put hazelnut chocolate on them because she read that it's their favourite thing. We came down in the morning to find all the traps licked clean, she bought those devices that emit a sound humans can't hear but drive mice and the like away however, after several days it's still around. I'm not sure what it's eating as we've checked the food and can't find anything with nibbles out of it. I've tried to grab it a couple of times but it's a fast little bugger. Has anyone had experience of getting rid of them?

OwlFancier posted:Like, kill traps or some other kind of trap? I don't know that sound things work on anything honestly. The usual advice I have seen is to use simple snap traps as poison can lead to them dying in the walls or something which will stink, and live capture traps have dubious efficacy. This little fucker just walks over the traps. Maybe we've just bought poo poo traps. Might have to try different ones. EDIT: can't get a cat the landlord won't allow it.

kecske posted:basically you can spend every night for the rest of forever faffing about with peanut butter and live-catch boxes, attempt poison and wonder if that smell is a decaying corpse under the floor, or you can dehumanise yourself and face to sticky boards. until mice enlighten themselves to the truths of buddhism and overcome desire they are doomed to suffer. I think this is the answer. Going to order some and get to work. HopperUK posted:What does the landlord reckon you should do about the mouse? Haven't told him.

I remember my sister telling me about a lesson she had in junior school where she was told that if anyone, even a parent, touched them in a way they didn't want them to that was wrong and they were to tell another trusted adult. Of course in my young brain I thought this meant being smacked if you did something wrong. It was only later when I that lesson myself I realised that it was much more than physical abuse. We've taught children about consent even from family members for a long time.

I really hate fly tipping. I once had to spend ten hours clearing up some loving poo poo heads fly tipping because it was in front of a set of access gates. If there had been an accident the emergency services would never have been to get through the gates. How people can do that to any part of the country confounds me.

There really are people out there, powerful people that actually want to eradicate trans people completely. It's a real wickedness. Also I was in WHSmiths and when I came to pay the card reader ask if the cashier had told me about the special offers. It's just supposed to read my card not interrogate me about the drat employees. Disgusting practise.
