Russell Group unis are only a big deal on mn.some of the RG are distinctly average

Agreed. I didn’t know what a Russell group uni was til I joined here and discovered I actually went to one!

Lucidas
Yes!
Claiming that your friend's aunt's neighbour ignored (insert medical / child safety / covid/ other specialist topic guidance here) and everything turned out ok is not substitute for academics and experts who have completed peer reviewed research on the topic.

My DC are brilliant and were advanced as toddlers
My DH likes his hankies and boxers pressed and his socks folded - and that’s fine
Cooking is a life skill
It is not difficult to have a clean and tidy house
There is not much wrong with capitalism
Margaret Thatcher was an absolute hero
Make up and highlights are fine
Pink is lovely for little girls
There is nothing wrong with a woman making the best of herself
Red meat is a fantastic treat twice a week
There’s nothing wrong with ensuring your DC have pretty much what they want and it doesn’t make them spoilt
Nobody should pay more tax than they have to
Teachers and nurses need to be effectively performance managed like other employees
Drs are not God and should treat other humans as their equals
God exists

All these men who must travel for work. Actually no,he’s volunteered and he’s avoiding you and the kids. He likes pretending and acting that he’s a single man. He bigs up his significance, he is not indispensable, he just tells the sahp that he simply must work late, travel,attend a conference. Truth is he likes the freedom,the banter, acting to all intents & purpose like a single guy

I get controversial opinions, but this is just a weird thing to say. What about sailors? Travelling salesmen? astronauts? Roadies? Truckers?

@ChestnutStuffing for some reason @HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee thinks you must only have these occupations if you are single 🤣🤣

What about sailors? Travelling salesmen? astronauts? Roadies? Truckers?
⬆️ Lol You’ve just listed the cast of village people

@freakyfairy, you do get the thread is not about you or your touchy sensibilities
I don’t need to justify or explain nor do you need to engage in handwringing and Whitabootery

[quote noirchatsdeux]@Cheeeeislifenow Yes about the covid restrictions. I spent 3 years in a rural village in Bangladesh back in the late 70s, between the ages of 9 to 12. I had approx 1 year of home schooling in that time (not by my parents, an actual primary school teacher who was paid to teach me and my two brothers, because my parents gave up trying to do it after 2 hours). No friends, no hobbies, no television, no internet, no fucking nothing. All we could do was read and listen to the BBC World service.

Somehow I managed to survive and (eventually) ended up going to Oxford. I want to scream each time I hear this bollocks about how 'damaged' and 'illiterate' children will be.

Still better than being dead.[/quote]
Totally agree. I do understand parents’ concerns but the child’s life needs to be considered first. This dreadful situation will not go on forever. Children will be educated again. We must not put them at risk for the sake of a few weeks/months, even a year. It terrifies me that children’s lives may be lost.

Wait, there was a salesman in the Village people?

Anyway, you seriously must be taking the piss on this travel for work thing.

Divorce damages children particularly if the parent(s) move on to new partners.

What about sailors? Travelling salesmen? astronauts? Roadies? Truckers?

🤣🤣🤣 but also making a point that bands, orchestras, musicians, actors etc they all travel too...

@happybabyunit

Trans women are women and many of them are women to look up to!

Eating in front of the TV is fine!

How's that work then?

A Corbyn govt would probably have managed CoVid pandemic better. Would have used local resources and not spent £22 billion outsourcing TTT to private companies.

@GuyFawkesDay

Teachers work bloody hard.

Amen to that.

All drugs should be legalised, everything, cannabis, cocaine, heroin. The lot, Government should regulate the business model. The lack of regulation leads to adulteration of those drugs. If they were legalised then the criminal aspect would be removed. Great tax income as well.

agree. give people freedom for their own decisions abd they'll eventually make the right ones.

This ones a shocker: i hate cats.

I have The Daily Mail App and look at it every day. It’s a load of bollocks news-wise but I enjoy it and the fury of the comments sections.

Until major companies throughout the world change then recycling our waste is a waste of time but makes people feel virtuous.

Bread sauce is delicious. Well mine and my SILs is anyhow.

I don’t mind friends and Family popping in (non COVID times).

No is absolutely not a complete sentence. It just sounds bloody ignorant by way of an answer to a request.

I like fleecy tops.

Being lazy isn’t a crime.

Watching tv is ok for kids. There are some excellent programmes.

Fairy lights and twiggy things are perfectly valid home accessories and look cosy.

Most people are good and not out to make your life unpleasant or difficult.

The fruit and veg at Aldi and Lidl are usually tasteless and shit. Well at the ones near me anyhow.

It’s not acceptable or reasonable to wear earplugs because you have noisy neighbours.

I hate cats too. Furry coughing bastards

@HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffe you must live a very small, insular life to think that no one NEEDS to travel for work. I'm just trying to expand your mind...but ok

Well I went to pour another wine then came back to this thread and noticed it had taken a weirdo 'village people' turn 😂

More whitabootery @freakyfairy
You must be feelin v touchy to keep,protesting and trying to change my mind

@RedToothBrush I hate cats too! 🤢
