People who try and bribe kids with money. Ugh, Joe Tate, you devil.

The over-use of the word “icon” when it comes to describing soap characters. Bernadette Taylor isn’t an icon, man. Come on. She might not be bumping chess-pieces with Ted during those wretched first-few months of 2018 and Clenshaw may have tapped into her potential more than former EPs but she is not an icon. She’s no Angie Watts or Phil Mitchell.

On that theme


The overuse of the word NARRATIVE !!!


It was very rarely used but nowadays its used all over the damn place especially in news items

A pub’s ability to accept card payments being at the mercy of the strength of their Wi-Fi is incredibly annoying. I’m not the sort of person who often carries around cash unless there’s a specific reason for it. It’s so inconvenient being told “cash only” when you’re not anticipating that in advance.

Binance’s long-arse re-verification-process. I’ve given them everything and their response is either that the picture I took isn’t clear enough or that it’s photocopied. It just makes no sense, and I’ve been having issues converting USDT to GBP to withdraw into my account for the longest time anyway. I just can’t be arsed with them no-more. Useless site.

I initially read that as Beyonce’s long arse

Medication coming with advice not to drink alcohol. The only time that’s really necessary is in the case of certain anti-biotics and certain benzos. You don’t have to become teetotal and give up a huge chunk of your social life’s vitality (if that’s you) in the name of some medication that’s actually a lot more forgiving to alcohol than a lot of pharmacists and GPs feel like they have to point out. You don’t have to give up on having fun like that in the name of medication. All the pearl-clutching and fluff just isn’t needed.

…well as you say, there are certain medications when alcohol is added that can have an adverse effect but I guess the recommended no drinking is for the best effectiveness of the medication…and just in case someone suffered side effects through mixing alcohol…

Yeah, some people are particularly sensitive to the effects of alcohol when mixed with some other drugs but expecting people to give up alcohol together (even on Christmas Day) all in the name of side-effects they probably won’t get (maybe not even a hangover in the first place) is just too pearl-clutchy for me and not applicable in the majority of cases. It’s better when healthcare providers state the actual risks as they are, without fluff. Sometimes the medication doesn’t even work well enough for it to be worth the sacrifice of having to stick to over-priced J20 and tap-water at the pub.

I say all that as someone who’s fundamentally very anti-hypocrisy when it comes to the divide between alcohol and other (often far less inherently harmful) drugs but at the same time I’m very far from teetotal. No medication for me, as it stands at the moment, would be worth me completely cutting out alcohol, especially when it’s not actually strictly necessary. It’s like trigger-warnings on ITVX. A sensitive minority might appreciate it but most people know what to expect with these shows in all the decades they’ve been on-screen and wouldn’t bat an eyelid. I think it’s the same principle behind informed consent, that people could be told what the actual risk is in individual context, not just the worst-case scenario. The way alcohol’s so deeply embedded in British culture especially, for better or worse, just makes it impractical and unrealistic for people to be expected to give up booze in the name of medication when it’s not absolutely necessary.

…realistically I think that it’s probably realised that most wouldn’t abstain from alcohol completely but I guess that it’s given more for disclaimer purposes…?…if they didn’t recommend it and state that the combination could have a health impact or reduce/void the efficiency of the medication etc…?..then the companies would become more libel if they didn’t state these things…?…(…I’m thinking…)…

The fact that regular subscription isn’t enough for Cassandra Mack’s channel anymore. She’s now got an insiders’ club-requirement for certain videos, no-doubt a fair bit more expensive.

Every time I choose to read your posts just reminds me of why I have you on my ignore-list. I obviously didn’t make a mistake. You, Benjamin (in all his pedantic foolery) and Alf really don’t do yourselves any favours in my book.

Misogynistic men who take the Biblical passage about the husband being the head of the wife out of context and extend it in-general, even to women who are older than them. Marriage is one very particular context. The Bible doesn’t endorse wannabe alpha-males with ego issues, whether or not the bit about marital headship/neck-ship is even taken at its word.

Not an irritant or really an issue at-all but when it comes to cooking jollof rice, using aluminum foil to trap in the steam (when the want arises) is still the default. But parchment paper’s actually healthier, and as far as I can tell gives off the same results. I’d rather use parchment paper and (occasionally) uma leaves than foil, to be quite honest.
