How to tell the difference between a fox den and a badger set. Insert your arm up to the shoulder. Rotate your arm through 90 degrees. Withdraw your arm. If your hand smells awful, it's a fox den. If your hand is being savaged by a maddened pig thing with giant teeth, it's a badger set.
Seems a good time to post this, after the Fascists March yesterday. And the Fascist Reform UK Party Conference By The Great Micheal Rosen

We can do that. Audi. Blue badge holder space blocker. Can't even park in it. Utter cunt. #YPLAC
Philip Dunlop@mojonaut.bsky.social · 4d agoNot in, but beside the blue badge space. No blue badge. Selfish cunt. I’ve raised the issue with this Lidl store several times (my wife is a blue badge user). They’ve done absolutely nothing, so a shaming on the internet it’ll have to be @yplac.bsky.social #spéirgorm
"It was at this point that an oyster went down the wrong way and blocked my ear canals, meaning I missed the whole conversation where I agreed to a foreign donor illegally giving us £500,000..." 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 From the other place
"Now, little boat", Helen said sweetly, "I'm a professional mechanical engineer with many years' experience, which is why I'm going to give you one chance to start working properly again before I thump you with this hammer."
Yippee! It’s already £12,570, Bob’s having orgasms as if they’re planning to give us an extra ten grand - it’s only £2,430. They take us for fools.
I appear to have a vhs copy of Red Heat. But not a vhs player.
I always sign off emails by saying, 'With thanks and best wishes'. If I just say, 'Best wishes', it means I'm a bit annoyed. If I type, 'Regards, ' it's my way of quietly saying, 'Fuck you, you arrogant little twat'.

It's only terrorism if it's from the Environmentaliste region of France Otherwise it's just sparkling "legitimate concerns"
Marie Gardiner@mariegardiner.bsky.social · 5d agoWhat the hell is going on here and why isn't this terrorism rather than 'a protest'? All men, all in black, all in masks, storming a ferry port. No more info on it yet but if this is the small boat nonces then they're even thicker than I thought. These are big boats mate they're just far away.
