@alexfrco I never think it's great to scrutinise these things too closely. Trust and friendship bonds are very precious and should be fostered in as many directions as possible, without suggesting that any particular grouping is good or bad. These kids all have enough attention on them.

@HDanielSmith2 @MysterySolvents I'll go ahead in good faith although I suspect you are not open to persuasion

@HDanielSmith2 @MysterySolvents Actually I think there's recent research showing that a lot of homelessness is pretty much solved by .... giving people homes

"Blair won 3 general elections so you need to listen to him" yeah well Harold Wilson won four so I guess it's time for a 98% marginal tax rate on unearned income and price controls on milk.

@janeclarejones @paulmasonnews That is quite a flex from Helen Lewis. There were quite a few Mitford sisters to choose from including the sparkling Nancy, but she had to go for Diana.

@OpenAGIxd @dangbozo Are they eating these plants and plastic bags passive aggressively to show you how they've never ever been fed in their lives and are starving?

@Dayvield1 @vuse_lover They already do say Xander, and Alexander is where Sandy comes from

@RobynAnderson Are you a cat breeder or are you just rescuing and homing pregnant cats?

A customer at the library asked me a question I wasn't prepared for.

Customer: Excuse me.

Customer: Why does this machine require flesh?

Me: ...what?

Customer: This machine.

Customer: I am touching it, but it does not work.

Customer: Is because... flesh?

At this point I was trying very hard to figure out whether I had accidentally wandered into a horror movie.

Then she held up her hands.

She was wearing gloves.

Me: Oh!

Me: The touchscreen.

Me: Right.

Me: Yeah, it probably can't detect your fingers through the gloves.

Customer: Ah.

Customer: Okay.

Customer: Sorry to bother.

Me: No, no.

Me: That's the best thing I've heard all week.

She laughed.

The machine worked.

And I thought that was the end of it.

It was not.

Now whenever one of our library computers stops working, someone inevitably says:

Staff: It requires flesh.

Staff: The machine must be fed.

Another staff member: Who's volunteering?

So thanks to one perfectly innocent question, our library now sounds like a cult every time the self-checkout freezes.

@arsenalinside_ I can see this turning into one of those Laurel and Hardy sketches which ends up with Benny Blanco getting lamped with a huge Christmas tree

@JKPlanner @RMTunion Yes, it really is as simple as that

Our members are simply seeking to establish what the implications are of proposed wholesale changes to their terms and conditions.
That's not entitled, that's a fundamental and basic right, Emily.

@JKPlanner @RMTunion Hahaha, yes when I'm feeling a bit skint the first thing I do is go on strike 🙄 I think there's one key fact you're overlooking
