For years I took "pull your socks up" literally. I assumed everyone else also found the sensation of socks riding down intensely irritating & distracting, so of course pulling them up helps you concentrate and perform better.
Why did the Queen call him 'Mister Bond' in the London Olympics opening bit? She's his superior officer not a supervillain and they're both on duty so it should be 'Commander Bond'.
I think about this even when I'm watching Star Wars.
The original argument was "cis women risk being disadvantaged by trans women taking reserved positions/resources" and we've arrived at a parliamentary speech saying trans people are a threat to women's safety.
❌ Delay after delay after delay ❌
The Secretary of State used every excuse under the sun - impact assessments, consultations, purdah, now after every excuse has been used, she chose to lay the code of practise on the last day before recess…then a no show on Monday…
⏰ The appalling lack of action, failure of updating #NHS policies a year after the Supreme Court Ruling & lack of communication protecting our women & girls is unacceptable
Even cases including the #Darlington #Nurses saw the Labour Government do nothing to protect them
This cannot keep going on, women & girls want & need action from this Government.

@BoredomParadox Tbf I don't think they'd even need paying. Probably just "Hey, you know that big investigation work you needed to do? You're good to skip all that and go sit in your car playing candy crush for the rest of the day."
@UndeadCantDie Is the Sith CIS control known in-universe or just to the viewer? Did most pro-separatist laymen just see their leadership decapitated by spec ops, army surrender, the victor declare himself emperor and the govt pass more & more fascist legislation for a decade?
@Normanjam67 IMO they shouldn't be free, though. It should be managed in-house and charge an amount that covers the cost of maintaining & operating the car park only. Long-term and disability concessions etc. can be considered.
@duncankinney Tinfoil hat: This was always part of the deal for Musk helping Trump with the election, but they're having to rush it through because Trump's closer to incapacity than they've let on.
@SirSnipeyy I assumed Gorn just bluffs why they're a man down. He could easily intimidate junior troopers but the commandant & his staff could be tricky. Much riskier, but not impossible.
@Attalholic People also ignoring that the ridiculous cost of living rises have been a significant factor during the project. What did they want the council to do, stop when they were already halfway through and leave the roof stripped off...?
