Be Excellent To Each Other

Something something Donald Trump.

Surely it would have to be a fairly woeful marketing department that just sent that out verbatim. Isn't prettying up what directors send them part of their job?

My dad sucks at spelling and grammar - he still can't spell my wife's name. It doesn't make him a moron, it's just something he's not very good at, like I'm not very good at sewing or wrapping presents. Put the man in front of a broken object and it'll be working again in moments, however.

The lack of care and attention and made up words is just a symptom of an overall moronic outlook (see also current POTUS)

The whole article he vomited up reckons that HMRC have brought in the Criminal Finances Act 2017 to combat people moving over to dodgy payment schemes after changes to IR35 in April which is complete horseshit. He claims the changes are aimed at contractors (complete horseshit) and then proceeds to write paragraphs and paragraphs about how a contractor not paying their tax and NI could result in someone from an agency going to prison. Further horseshit.

Another choice extract;



I mean what the fuck does that even mean?

I understand not everyone is as big a grammar pedant as me and as long as the meaning is conveyed then that is probably sufficient for 99% of people. There was no meaning in any of this other than some kind of word salad from someone that doesn't understand the subject they are writing about and speaking to people day in and day out. His saving grace is the people he speaks to on a daily basis are mainly recruitment consultants...

We've got to give him some marks for trying to avoid using 'impacted' in that.

Haaaaaang on. I thought some while ago Mr Snappa had suggested that Kit was gay? Worst sleb gossip monger EVER.

No, he says he sees him and her hanging out at the local all the time.

You've got gays on the brain.

Stupid gays coming over here and stealing our wimin.

Worst forum searcher EVER

Quite. A fish is useless when judged as a bird.

.

Useless bird. Useless fish

.

Now you're talking

I did say a friend thought he was gay, simply going on the fact that she sold him the house and he lives with his brother. But that was years ago.

I’m so glad you wrote this. It made me on a day.

Yeah, you totally own Grim... at sewing

She does! The Grimlet's cub sweater is a travesty of wonky badges.

Now... if I ran the Cubs I’d ensure that the first badge all the cubs earned was the sewing badge and make them all sew their own badges on

Do you sew the Grimlet’s badges then, Grim...?

Mrs Grim... and I fuck it up equally.

The wonky stitches will be cherished when he’s older, I’m sure. I love the little signs of handiwork. There’s personality in it, and that you both help is just so Ah, this makes me happy. Good eggs.

Hitler's bell ends!

Ding-dong battle over Nazi church bells


Phew! Parishoners can sleep peacefully.

"Decided"? I thought depictions of the Swastika were illegal?

The implication from the article (and from reading the church's statement) is that they've only just discovered them following a controversy in another village.

Are they likely to give thought to a peal?

I think the case is plain. Hunt them down!

(Limited audience, that one)

How is the new Star Trek, is it worth getting netfix, to watch it

Get a trial to see if it's worth it.

Hey Mr Dave, why don't you Killing Floor 2?

Because I didn't when it started, and you're all far too good to even think about playing with now.

Absolute balderdash!

Get in! Get in!

It was good, but not absolutely amazing. I'd give it a few more weeks to air, then binge it, or just Yarr it like plenty of other people.

I see UKIP have ditched the pound sign (unwanted Italianism, after all) in favour of a lion with a huge mane. Not sure what this imagery says about them, as male lions lounge around all day whilst the lionesses do all the hard work, not to mention the whole pride thing.

Also lions are African. And Richard Lionheart hated this country. And was french.

Made a tactical error yesterday. Promised Josie that we would go up Blackpool Tower today (my first time too after 43 years of living down the road) then proceeded to get wrecked until almost three in the morning. This really wasn't where I wanted to be after three hours sleep:

Sweet Jesus, my legs were like fucking jelly walking around on that thing.

That gasp at the end of the first video. Sounds like you were gonna hurl

I heard Mikhail Glinka's 'Variations on a Scottish Theme' from his 'Greeting to my native land' suite for the first time on Friday and it was one of the loveliest pieces of piano music I've listened to in a long time. Available to listen for a bit from the Radio 3 website.

Spaceship.

And there was me thinking you'd upgraded your homebrewing efforts by a couple of notches.

Looks safer than the Rover.

Another mass shooting in the States. Vegas this time at a country music festival.

At least 50 dead.

Shooter is apparently a white guy so it's "not terrorism".

Mr Trump always waits until he gets all the facts before he passes judgement or starts tweeting about these things. Always.

Admittedly, I shouldn't really make light of this. The news reports I've read are horrific.

Nevada! A state with very little gun regulation. Everyone can carry one. You have to have a background check to buy a new gun, but private sales are legal, so that's pointless. You can buy as much ammo as you want. Yay for freedom!

And there's little point in being armed yourself for self-defence purposes when you're being shot at from the 32nd floor.

Not done that myself yet, keep meaning to.

FTFY

Why the hell do members of the public need automatic weapons? And how did this guy manage to get ten weapons and ammo into a hotel room without anyone noticing.

The most depressing thing was the bit at the end of Channel 4 News when Krishnan said the share price in the gun companies went up today as everyone would be going out buying more guns.

This BBC article from last year states that between 1968 and 2011, the number of deaths from firearms on US soil was 1.4 million people. More american deaths than all of the wars that they have fought combined. But, yeah, carry on. You get your handgun and feel safe.

I saw a video of a governor (of Kentucky, I think?) saying that introducing gun control won't make any difference because "there's already laws against murder, and these people were murdered."

Jesus fucking wept.
