General observation, or is there a specific reason this time?

It's more of a general, cumulative thing, but prompted by seeing something about Sunak claiming they'd exceed climate spending - only by changing how it's calculated to avoid missing a target.

You people with sleep issues, have you tried CBD? If you have and it hasn't worked, have you tried taking more CBD? It stops me waking up at 3AM and my body thinking it's time to get up then. Over time I've built up a tolerance so I make my own oil now from isolate and MCT oil.

I would love to but it's £60 a bottle, unless you get it online in which case jesus christ do not buy medicines from online.

This is why I get isolate from online and make my own. I was paying near £80 for 0.25g/ml, now paying £20 for 0.5g/ml. There are lab test results on the product page for the isolate from this place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9rieux_NutriSciences

But I just looked and Darkplace was around 10 years AFTER The Kingdom. (I'm talking about the Danish series/film 1994ish not a more recent offering)

It was a joke because the Darkplace show-within-a-show purports to be from the 80s but is quite transparently based on The Kingdom.

Also had NHS Fentanyl on that day.

Was that directly related to the colonoscopy? If so, what the gently caress, I've been shortchanged. All I got was a tiny bit of midazolam and the worst pain I've ever experienced.

but it would be nice if once in a while someone asked a simple blunt question instead using the question as a mini-speech.

I don't think it would, because direct questions don't get answers - it happens all the time in interviews. Direct, repeated, rephrased questions all get dodged.

I had to do it a long time ago. The landlord came round and did the inventory after leaving, said everything was fine, all good. Then when it came to deposit return they said that there were problems, after having said everything was fine. I disputed it with the scheme and said this, eventually landlord submitted no evidence and I got the deposit back - though it did take months.

In terms of TV appearances, aside from my adult appearance as a Jeremy Kyle audience member booing someone, I also had an amazing acting role as a child. In a perfect example of "wouldn't happen today", my aunt worked on a BBC disability rights programme called From The Edge and they needed some extras for a piece on discrimination. My starring role was that of a child wedding guest - my job was to sneer and laugh at a disabled man in a wheelchair. The man in the wheelchair was the director, who was not disabled, putting on his best impression of someone with special needs.


I once went in that Waitrose and saw the height of Cheshire twattery in a nearby unit - what would normally be called a "butty shop" described itself as a "purveyor of bespoke sandwiches".

We have some Shark cordless thing with "anti hair wrap" and two replaceable batteries. It manages to cope with us two long haired people and a constantly-shedding husky. I couldn't imagine using a cordless vac without replaceable batteries now.

Yeah I'm well aware that it's live broadcasts only, but that doesn't stop the cunts basically flat out lying about it. I just had the 2 year renewal form come up again and it pisses me off every year how many dark patterns are used in the form to try to trick you into thinking you need one.

The enforcement lot are cunts and it is this stuff that convinced me not to have one when back when I should have. Those days are long gone, though, since broadcast TV is poo poo.

How could you ever believe that they would deliver on any hypothetical Good Policy? In the time from you putting an X into the Labour box to the time they count the votes, Starmer will have already announced and then scrapped a dozen iron-clad pledges

They're a grown up party who have to make difficult decisions, though. Also whatever they promised they'd fund I'm sure they can find a way to do it with AI now and I'm sure it won't be a disaster.

I am not big on crisps but if these are offered I will always have them. They're loving weird and I don't know why they're so good. I am always in the mood for them.

The sandwich man who used to come to our office pre-pandemic had Levi Roots coconut curry flavour crisps and they were lush.

Sounds like the M&S katsu curry ones. I have no idea why they put coconut in it, can't say I've ever noticed it in katsu curry. The crisps were good though.

There doesn't seem to be any explanation as to where that comes from. I looked on the Yougov site and nothing there matches those numbers. Are they just made up?
