That looks terrifying. Those poor people, I hope everyone got/gets out, whether by land or sea.

Annoyingly, I recently threw away a free Smartie SIM, or I would have sent it to you.

I do have a Three SIM in a router, but the credit on it has probably expired so probably easier to get a new one.

Ofcom reckons you have ok Three coverage as well, you could try getting a SIM (eg: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/shop/plans/pay-as-you-go/sim-only) and seeing if the coverage is any better.

Ask around eg at the CoOp?

Oh, hell, didn’t realise it was still going on!

Is himself in the same situation? If not, what’s different?

I would say try a different network, but EE might be the only one with decent coverage there.

Good luck!

Bulldozing the smoking rubble was a nice touch.

He’s on form today!

The question of trans inclusion in sport was a very difficult one, and it was difficult because the simple and clear answer, which had worked well since time immemorial, had been decided to be the wrong one.

This suggested that the question must be far more complex than it appeared to be. For this reason, people were encouraged not to ask the question at all, because they were obviously asking the wrong question.

Instead, scientific papers were written around the issue of why it was completely fair to allow transwomen to compete against women. This was a much easier question to answer, because all the scientists had to do was find data that suggested it was fair and ignore data pointing to the opposite. This is the very core of science.

Thought of you when I heard that on the news earlier!

I wonder why!

Such a weird story. I can’t decide if it’s more likely that she poisoned them, that they eat them regularly and have some sort of natural / acquired immunity, or what.

Hebs, how did it go? All ok?

I see your point, but my experience of corporate away days is sitting in hotel function rooms listening to presentations, occasionally doing cringeworthy team building / get to know you sessions, not laser tag and visits to the zoo.

Calvin Klein has featured models with lifestyle mastectomy scars. Dr Martens released a ‘queer joy’ DM boot illustrated with a ‘trans man’ with mutilated breasts. Celebrities have promoted breast-binding, a slightly less life-impacting way for girls to hide their apparently shameful breasts.

So this is one of the great divides of our time, then – between those of us who believe teenage girls should be left alone to experience all the flourishing and challenges that come with coming of age, and those who believe that if a girl doesn’t like her breasts, then a man in a white coat should surgically remove them.

Took me a while to figure out how that worked! Wow!

Oh, Jesus. The daughter was there for this.

And a shut-in of twenty years. Once again, Japan is ahead of of curve but doing things a bit differently.

society must accept me, unconditionally, I will not change for society.

(Note the skinniness of Japanese shut-ins.)

I was asked about taking a puppy mill bitch and would have if not for Dog’s own issues. If I had a dog who would not only cope but positively help, I would take Josie.

But I think you knew I would say that, which suggests you know what you really want to do. You could be a wonderful home for either dog, but you could make far more difference for Josie.

Good luck, whatever you decide!

No, it’s definitely just how she is. I dread to think how it will be if/when she starts to lose her marbles, but she has good genes for that.
