Oh that Dennis Noel Kavanagh thread. It’s devastating. what could have been.

The permanent effects of the indoctrination of kids, the online threats by internet creeps and the UK police harassment to vocal women, so many women’s money and time and worry, the women’s sports, the women in prisons, the Girl Guides association.. the list can just go on and on

Leftover wine happens in our house. DH doesn’t drink much at all and sometimes I can’t finish it, especially overly tannic reds. It goes in cassoulets.

That's not leftover, that's assigned for a purpose.

Please explain "too much cream"?

I believe it's the mythical cousin of the equally mythical "Leftover Wine." Honestly, some people will believe anything.

There's still time. Stonewall could employ someone who would lead discussions, heal divisions, build bridges, campaign for LGB rights as well as T rights.

I hope she reads that.

She will have! I doubt it's in her nature to ignore stuff about herself.

Dennis is an absolute superstar.

That made me shed a tear.

I wonder what would have happened if Stonewall had had a Sliding Doors momement and had appointed a powerful person who campaigned against the many instances of homophobia that still exist.

Someone else had the same thought:

And now I'm crying. Literally. I currently have very leaky eyes.

oh what could have been.

MavisMcMinty · 11/07/2023 20:23

Please could someone do a thread-reader app request and post the link? If you don’t have a Twitter account you can only see the tweet that’s linked, no replies.

nettie434 · 11/07/2023 20:17

Oh my goodness! I feel quite proud now. That is an incredible thread which is actually so poignant as it highlights what might have been. It's much more profound than anything I could have come up with, unfortunately.

I looked back to when Ruth Hunt left and her notice period was about 6 months. She was there for about a decade before she left. However, her predecessor (Ben Summerskill) wasn't there for long. Before him, Angela Mason was the Director for about 10 years. In my experience, charities would prefer a transition period in which new directors/CEOs get a good induction but often this doesn't happen, especially if there are divisions within the organisation .

I wonder what would have happened if Stonewall had had a Sliding Doors momement and had appointed a powerful person who campaigned against the many instances of homophobia that still exist. Instead it has become Campaign Lite whereby there is too much cosying up to institutions that haven't actually served the LGBT+ community well (eg Barking murders) but are always ready to threaten women for placing a few stickers in public places or making the odd tweet.

SabrinaThwaite · 11/07/2023 19:50

Plus there is no new Nancy news to be found anywhere.

Nope. No LinkedIn updates either.

With old fashioned balance scales, not electronic ones

My first job, I had to weight stuff out to 0.01g using old fashioned balance scales. Had to use tweezers to add tiny little flakes of metal and not breathe to get the bloody thing to balance.

Was thrilled when the boss finally bit the bullet and paid ££££ for electronic scales.

Not everyone bases their conversations about a theme entirely around what appears on twitter. As far as I'm concernedthis cake talk has killed the thread.

Ooh sorry I forgot i also searched other parts of the internet as well. Couldn't find anything, but as you've arrived to admonish me im wondering where your something to add to the thread about info on Nancy is!

Boiledbeetle · 11/07/2023 19:17

It's only a small sample size, and I'm aware the attached shows which way I voted but 2/3rds of those surveyed think she was pushed.

The only thing she has tweeted about today has been a couple of tweets on the runner Caster and the Switzerland decision thing.

Other than that nothing since the I'm quitting tweet.

No, you weigh the eggs in their shells.

Hmm. That's conflicting information.

I have got a single pan spring scale, with a mechanical action, no electronic stuff to run out of batteries, or to go in a huff and die.
