Off-Topic / What is a woman? [615]

Definitely not in the looks department.

Maybe so, Micron is a bit better in that respect (thoug( among the wives there's a definite winner and loser - age tends to do that). It's the content of the heart that matters too though.

And I'm not Labour hater. Just it doesn't seems likely judging from what I see around me.

Good to hear that, however it's worth remembering that they've only been in office a few months after 14 years of deliberate Tory mess. You won't see immediate effects, politics doesn't work like that, however step by step the country is returning to how it should be.

You did mention a town here once, long before you mentioned you were on the islands, I only remember that due to having been there the week before. Has a big logistics warehouse.. If that's where you are, you're unlucky due to the politics of the council. Where I'm based, solid Labour, it really is different and there are a few small but noticeable changes already. Loads more buses with a max £2 fare, a new market, a new town museum and a a few other things. A nice new council estate too.

What is the definition of a woman

You only ask so often because when you were still young enough to have a wank you only thought of guys with rippling muscles and a hot smile.

Looks like a high class brothel in Minsk.

Jon claims you came from Africa

We all do, ultimately. All our ancestors do.

And all our ancestors before that were things that looked a bit like a beaver (like you still do) and before that a sort of amphibian.

a pardon

A pardon for what, troll?

He's not been charged with or convicted of any crime.

It will be nice to see trumpet's dodgy 'pardons' annulled and all those rioters who stormed their own parliament building back in gaol.

And then the anti-vaxxers can be locked up die to all the lives lost among idiots who believed their nasty shìt.

Given that both the rapist trump and also bush2 used autopens on pardons, does that mean that Jim is pretending those pardons are invalid too?

as Labour are imploding a little bit more each day

No we aren't.

and has left the country in a terrible mess

You're confusing us with the useless Johnson, Truss and Sunak.

if a general election isn't called for soon

Why would we call one? The Tories didn't. And he has a mathematically undefeatable supermajority.

BTW:
- we're now starting to puncture the Channel dinghies and return unwanted migrants (which the Tories never did),
- we have signed trade deals with the US and India
- we have increased the minimum wage by 7%, benefitting 3 million British workers
- and made a £22.6 billion increase to NHS spending
- cut waiting lists for 5 months in a row
- started to renationalise the railways (rather than let foreign private companies rip us off)
- banned no-fault evictions and limited sky-high ground rents
- achieved the fastest‑growing G7 economy in Q1 2025: GDP rose 0.7%, outperforming all other G7 countries
- Saved 5,000 steelworkers jobs in Scunthorpe and Port Talbot
- started restoring fiscal stability, enabling the Bank of England to cut interest rates four times since the election

and....

The FTSE 100 has just reached 9000 today; a record high.

Whatever you're smoking, it must be pretty good.

Travel / Transport adventures in Poland [99]

I think Starmer and Miliband have blocked granting new licences for drilling in the North Sea. They

They're afraid of losing some of the more middle class constituencies to the Greenies.

What a lot of the public don't get is that North Sea crude is such high quality that it mostly doesn't end up as petrol or marine/road bitumen anyway; mostly kerosene and as ethylene/polyethylene which we'll still be using in a century.

We also import coked coal from South America and India and anthracite from Poland. Milliband should be ashamed of himself, in a constituency (Donny North) which has high unemployment and is literally sat on some of the world's best coal deposits.

Yet 'Just Stop Oil' glue themselves to the road surface (made of oil) with superglue (also made of oil) and film it on their phones (made of oil too).

What infuriates me just as much is the lack of gas storage capacity here. It leaves the UK vulnerable and dependent on imports

I'm the same. The tank farms along the banks of the Thames Estuary (and to a lesser extent Stanlow) are incredibly vulnerable. The Tories should never have privatised BP and ICI.

old cars from the European Union exported to Africa

You wouldn't believe the state of some of them.

Lady Starmer is definitely a woman. Although we shouldn't judge on superficial things like personal grooming, she does look great. Really nice dress too.

Brigitte Micron however (a schoolteacher who had sex with a pupil) just looks like a small-town transvestite auditioning for an amateur production of Whatever Happened To Baby Jane...

Tik Tok should be banned.

Probably since it's Chinese owned, however they don't like to ban things. Twitter and instagram bring no good to the world either, especially twitter.

I couldn't agree with you more

That guy has literally praised the Nazis.

he is the most useless PM I can remember

Did you miss Sunak, Truss, Johnson, May, Cameron, Major, The Milk Snatcher, Heath, Douglas-Home and MacMillan?

What don't you like about the current one who has a supermajority and will be in office for the next 9 years?

lot more huffing of aerosols

I'm a few years older and very much from the glue generation. Sid.Vicious was still alive when I started there.

UHU? Don't mind if I do!

wouldn't have been an OTC

Are they called cadet corps instead? Simon Raven writes about them.

Thinking about school, there was only really one teacher her I liked. He was very conscientious but only there formless than a year before suddenly leaving and never being mentioned again. He was later jailed for being one of the country's most prolific nonces with activities spanning decades.

Is Marlborough fully co-ed now? It

Not sure, The school I went to was somewhat different, When I was there it hit the front page of the Daily Mail with the headline "is this the worst school in Britain".

No OTC, no houses and definitely no copies of Jorrocks.

kicked out of there for dealing coke

Our maths teacher, Mrs Hobson, used to give us cigarettes as a reward for pupils who stayed quiet during the lesson and didn't chin each other or destroy anything. Two other teachers there (one male, one female) married pupils within weeks of them leaving school.One teacher was fired for throwing a kid out or PF a second floor window and the RE teacher was sectioned for taking all his clothes off and running out of the school during g the lunch break.

It burnt down in the end. The alumni from my time probably include more future murderers (I'm not joking here) than future graduates. Even when I was there, some of the 4th and 5th year girls were turning tricks in town, The school actually had a mother and baby unit, and this was 40 years ago.

No coke or even weed sadly in South Yorkshire pit village comprehensive schools back then, but plenty of glue.

It was geographically close to and similar in appearance to the school in Kes only far far worse, But hey, I survived more or less and have done reasonably well now the trauma has receded.

I'd quite have fancied a public school, that sort of self confidence that people get from them. That and an actual education as well and teachers with degrees or even opposable thumbs.

Then you need to visit south western Turkey more closely to Greece, there people are staunchly anti-Erdogan

I've visited often including recently. In that region it tends to vary from town to town. It's the same in Istanbul where most people oppose him (and the billboards are biggest).

It's a bit like PiS with their voters being less-educated people in small towns and who are religious or at least pretend to be.

portray pictures of Atatürk when they want to protest against Erdogan.

Ataturk images are everywhere, in every classroom and in every public building. I have one on my wall. The billboards in Turkey tend to have Ataturk at one end, Wrdogan at the other end and pictures of engineering infrastructure projects in the middle.

What a grim concept

It's a lovely hymn.

The second it eyes economical troubles it goes mad

Very correct, They feel they have a right to run things to their own benefit and can't really handle it when that goes wrong.

Turkey is a ex-grand player dreaming of returning to it's past grandeur

More than just dreaming. I go there at least six times a year, including this week, Every time, there's something big and new. Sadly they've started having. Illbiards everywhere with Erdogan's ugly mug on as if he were Franco or Gaddafi.

And the human anthem is kumbaya?

Not as far as I know.

The nearest things to that are the Internationale and Ode To Joy.

Poland needs to developed it's own framework similar to Turkey, Iran and Germany

Germany tries to either invade and kill everyone or to economically colonise other places, Turkey is at the crossroads of the world with vast resources that the almost landlocked Poland doesn't have and Iran is a pile of syf.

Poland isn't Switzerland and has even disappeared off the map before.

ussian Slavic brothers.

They aren't Slavs, though, are they.

Not that this should matter.

And the people they colonised in Siberia (and have not yet decolonised from like every other decent country) have more in common with Native Americans than any sort of European.
