Yeah, my sleeping problem is my cats settle down one either side and pin me, and when I manage to turn over they walk up and down me, compete to shove their bums in my face and occasionally hiss at each other.

Marmaduke! posted:This is going to be a nightmare, I've offered a really good guy a salary of £36K (6 more than he'd put as an expectation and decent for science), and he needs to review his visa in May, guess we might all be screwed? Plus he has a wife finishing her masters, guess if she doesn't get a great job then that's another fail. They have a child too, how long until they say it has to be £38K per family member (including kids)... Hell, how long before it has to be 38k for citizenship and the right to vote even if you were born here? One weird trick...

Endjinneer posted:My experience is that NHS teaching hospitals lean heavily on the presumption of a genial "well they've got to learn somewhere" attitude to the student doctors. Which is fair enough, but sometimes it would be nice if they warned you there was going to be 20 of them watching. I've always been asked first if I'm happy to have a load of students look at the weird lump on my stoma or whatever I'm going under the knife for that time. I'm fine with that; a few more people seeing my innards isn't a problem. They're even in a medical textbook somewhere, I'm told.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Oxford spelling (also Oxford English Dictionary spelling, Oxford style, or Oxford English spelling) is a spelling standard, named after its use by the University of Oxford, that prescribes the use of British spelling in combination with the suffix -ize in words like realize and organization instead of -ise endings. I prefer -ize anyway; z should get more use. Re moths; I've had them in a bag of flour and they make it taste vile. We may be doomed to a bug-eating future but I'll avoid those thanks.

Merry Xmas all! Just ate breakfast, soon will clean the cat tray then have a nice walk through the woods to see if my friendly local petrol station is open for some coffee. Then my neighbours have invited me over for Xmas dinner, so the rest of the day should be spent with 2 nice ladies and their cats (and my cats too, should they decide to wander in).

Brendan Rodgers posted:It seems to me there's a certain amount of seasoning that tells a cat nose that this isn't food any more. Depends on the cat; I've got one who'll try eating anything I do and one who's deeply suspicious of the concept that human food is actually food.

BalloonFish posted:The "stability" of a vigorously enforced heteronormative nuclear family with strong traditional gender roles. Yeah, mum stays home and looks after the kids and the house while dad works a job that pays enough to support them. If they're not doing that it's because they're lazy and crap and why should the government support them in that? Work harder! Bootstraps, people!

Pistol_Pete posted:A Jacobean-style drama about a bunch of vile, power-hungry psychos feuding and backstabbing each other would be great, but we're never going to get it. Did you never see House of Cards? (UK version, dunno how well the US remake did it.) Though OK, Urquhart was just one vile, power-hungry psycho. Happy New Year, y'all!

Angepain posted:I feel like there might be some practical challenges to blackmailing people with images of child sexual abuse you filmed on your property and then decided not to release to the police until years afterwards, abuse performed by someone who can easily reveal your involvement if for some reason they feel like they no longer have anything to lose, but admittedly I do not spend a lot of time thinking through this kind of thing I suppose if you're a child abusing perv your line of thought doesn't go further than "oh gently caress I'll be in the poo poo if the press gets hold of that" and the only thing your blackmailer has to be careful of is not pushing you far enough that you're willing to burn your whole life down.
