@Bungo935502@drhingram Oh yes, I'm *sure *that their objection to MOD accommodation being used is that it's not good enough for them? Never been to Bicester, so I'll take your word for it, and assume the other part of the objection is that the local amenities are not suitable for their needs?
@Rajivgoyal2000 Men of a certain persuasion humiliate themselves by not being able to exercise self control when in the company of women. 'I am weak, so you have to hide yourself from my view to protect yourself from me'. Real big man stuff, that.
@PierreJouet@Glinner The sitcom The High Life, which he co-wrote and appeared in with Forbes Masson, was okay, actuallyfunny. It also starred Siobhan Redmond, who is always worth a watch.
@Kryfold_Sky On Sunday afternoon, I purchased a single carrot 'loose'. At the time, it appeared wholesome - and dry. Stored as normal at room temperature. Went to use it last night and it was slimy. And the flesh looked as if it had been frosted.
A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know…
It has not “peeked” your interest.
Nor has it “peaked” your interest.
…It has piqued your interest.
You are not “phased” by something.
You are fazed by it.
If you’ve had a long day, you are weary.
If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary.
It is “due course”, not “do course”.
“Per se”, not “per say”.
And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost.
Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping.
This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙
@drhingram The examples from YT I've used today are the Leicestershire : Essex match on the Leics CC site and a nice young man (dangerpus predator to Sir K and his acolytes, of course) who posts entertaining and educational videos on playing pipe organs in remote country churches.
@QcWynter@james1071 Oh, and right now, I'm using YT to watch the Leicestershire : Essex Rothesay Cup match via the FoxesTV site. Something I'd have been ecstatic to have had available fifty+ years ago, rather than our rather grainy telly screen. But you know, YT universally bad.
@QcWynter@james1071 This morning after the clock radio had inflicted our glorious leader's latest offering on me, I watched this, the creator being a former organ scholar at Oxford. Great watch for Music GCSE students? Too dangerous to contemplate, according to Sir Keef. https://t.co/LXwMHrxjhC
@gettagripfolks@BradfemlyWalsh Finding shell in the 'prepared egg component' (iyswim) of my meal is one of the things which makes me gag. However calcium deficient I might be, there is no way I'd be trying to correct it that way.
@Aguirre115622@BruceD16659@MartinKnight_ My first car was a P (Mk.2 Escort acquired 1980 with rust holes in weird but fortunately non-structural places) and I'm fairly certain that was a 1975 reg, so T would be from August 78.
@caffeinosis@ROZAR999@Penelope_10x Might actually be 100% cotton, the 'minimum 50%' bit being the amount from the named project. Actual content labels have to be specific (couldn't be e.g. 'about' 50% x, 'about' 30% y, 'about' 20% z', but the origin of x, y or z could be mixed). Don't think this was it, tho...?
@Jothegingernut This reminds me of the 'short' YouTube decided to show me yesterday of a young woman desperately trying to get at least her face clear of green body paint she'd applied, before the school run ('Hi kids, sorry I'm your mum...').
@JaneSymons1@MrsNickyClark When we had cats, we would refer to ourselves as their Auntie and Uncle. Much as I loved them, I drew a line at being The Cat's Mother.
