Tshirt? A postcard surely!

Anyone else read this in a forlorn Sir Andrew Aguecheek kind of way? 😂

Sorry brain is slowing down - unpack the initials pretty please 🙏

God I need this so badly

I’m probably late to the party as I just woke up in Australia but I manifested in my sleep last night and am now who I always have been.

SD = Seán Doherty/BFF
RM= Ruth s? can't remember her surname sorry of Outburst who wrote a letter possibly at the behest of MD
Laura MacMahon =friend of RM

Sorry yes.

So Ruth McCarthy who wrote the email on behalf of Outburst.

Is best friends with a barrister called Laura McMahon

Who was the KC representing the NI government in a legal challenge from a TW that Sean Doherty defended on an assault charge. The TW was housed in a female jail in line with the NI gov policy.

ETA - originally went to a male jail and then mounted a case for a judicial review

You manifested well. Your Highness

I thought those were their basic work manners as in 'I don't waste time on people like you... (imagine sneer) There are the elect and those who deserve to burn in hell and they don't waste time, effort or sympathy on the second group. In fact, they keep a box of firelighters handy to help the flames get good and hot. (Apologies to all the various professionals who fight the odds for the people they're supposed to help. You are valued and appreciated and not allowed to admit that you know what I mean.)

Does anyone else watch Dr Who? If so, do they remember The Meep? They didn't have pronouns. They were the definite article. I rather fancy that, especially the bit when cute and fluffy said 'oh, to hell with it and grew fangs.' In our household, that is now called channelling our inner Meep.

All this talk of Brownies reminds me of doing my "Hostess" badge in the 1960s when I was 7 or 8 - judged severely by the ladies of the church who used me as free labour at a Christmas do (I even had to wear a little pinny).

I learned some useful skills ....
Making pots of tea
Being sent to the house of "dragon woman" to learn how to make peppermint creams and how to stuff marzipan into those sticky "Eat Me" dates
How to fold napkins into a "Bishop's Mitre" shape

I trained as a proper silver service waitress and am proud of my napkin folding skills. I daresay I should be Vice Chancellor of something. Maybe a catering college.

😂 I didn't take to it at all! I was a wild little beast of the field. I was in the Girl Guides later though, that was fine.

OK. I'm going to trump every story about getting to University for the first time. My Dad and I rocked up in the Hall of Residence car park and looked down at the little people carriers and Chelsea tractors that the other students had arrived in. Our vehicle was a giant in comparison: a Swedish V8 4WD delivering 530hp with 14 forward gears. Actually, it was a Scania 144 tractor unit pulling a refrigerated drag full of pork carcasses and my Dad was just dropping me off on his way but it was quite the entrance.

Our Brownies was dire. We spent the first few months embroidering mats to sit on and then I got a washing up badge. Then one day my Sprite friend took umbrage at the Pixies sniggering at us as we two (it was the flu season) danced around the toadstool and kicked it up into the air in a fit of rage. All the pennies went everywhere. I laughed immoderately and we were both rapidly ejected, such a relief, it was excruciatingly boring.

I honestly don't know how I stuck it out, what with the daft Snowy Owl and Brown Owl basically getting her housework done everytime anyone did a householders badge, tho we did have to bring our own socks for the sock washing, for which I am retrospectively devoutly thankful.
It might have been for the singing, if there was singing I'd put up with all sorts of boringness.

Yep! I don't think anyone can top that! 😘

I think we can vote for the terfy bunnies again.

Thinking how long it took me to go from thinking this one chap who says he's a woman seems ok, though a bit sad and vulnerable and therefore probably all the others are (around 2014), to a more neutral position, I don't think anyone who has undergone institutional brainwashing will get to a neutral stance in the course of one tribunal, even if they try not to have any biases.

I went to Brownies, my cousin went to Majorettes, I was mad jealous.

Wonderful!

With all this chat about Brownies, I went to Brownies in Forrin Parts where we had none of this wet elves and sprites nonsense.

The most useful thing I learned was how to lay a fire, which has stood me in good stead. Unlike my efforts to get a deportment badge, or whatever it was called. I had no natural talent in that direction, and not much inclination to make an effort. Pyromania, on the other hand...

No, I just liked the way it rhymed. 😀

Well hold on a min. I've watched religiously Holby, Doctors and Casualty for years. Reckon that qualifies me. I know the signs.

What sort of Wicker Man shit is that?

Were they trying to traumatise you?

My computer screen? 24 inches. Why do you ask?
