just eaten an entire pineapple (peeled and sliced, I'm no animal) and immediately fallen asleep on the sofa 😂

the numbers go up very quickly from 53 onwards... I'd be now terrified to step out but these numbers include sofa deaths as well 😭

these seem to be it? www.actuaries.org.uk/learn-and-de...

1.115% is a terrifying number at my age.. pretty sure there were at least 100 of us at parkrun. is there an easy way to find actuary tables for the UK?

not sure I understand annual death rate. is that starting from age X, the % of death in later years? or is it if I take 100 people that age then that % of them will die this year?

I'm not keen, I hate these places and would rather not see them anywhere.

hmmm, interesting use of imagery ...

And do we need another pizzeria?

FFS, betting shops are no longer restricted to the less salubrious areas? Right in the middle of Chester, all glossy maybe but still a gambling den 🙄

what a brave new world... Older(ish) Frenchman is drinking (0%) beer from a pint next to 3 young (ish) lads in football kits,who are sharing a bottle of white in long stem glasses....

a pint glistening in the sun

lucky me bagged the sunniest table on the corner 🌞 😎

happy birthday I guess ?

JFDI Just eFfing Do It: an extremely reactive process initiated “from the top”

halfway through this job I had to add this acronym to our glossary as it kept coming up during planning meetings.

electronic ink?

nah, embrace the persona, add black jeans and some shiny bit of white plastic you can wave around excitedly while shouting "the future". then take your revenge on kid and husband by forcing them through expensive and unnecessary upgrades

are you wearing a black sweatshirt maybe?

Me: Whhhy do I have to do this training every year?! I’m not a fucking idiot!

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom:

ditto, as a Frenchman, it's taken the Reform crowd to get anything that looks like proper corruption. And as a they are ugly AF, you never get a decent sex scandal, or secret families.. pitiful

ta, I'll have a read later.

expand on that last bit please,we're not talking about the bristiah royal family are we, too early yet, plus more german than greek no?

All of our TAs are 1) wonderful, 2) underemployed, 3) value flexible work, 4) experienced and trained to deal with most aspects of SEN, so yes, definitely worth exploring, maybe even bob in a few local schools and ask them to ask around

Made the mistake of putting my hearing aids on this morning before bobbing in a coffee shop. there's an annoying woman on the other side of the shop, using a phone on speakers, and that squeeky sounds falls exactly in the range that actually gets amplified.
Pretty sure nobody else hears it that loud

screenshot of some text: If I bronze. Some short, why did that all God? I always take the one I don't really want to be staring at crotches for the... ****, we should.

here is a snippet of the transcript of a handover presentation I've recorded yesterday...
and for the record the bit about staring at crotches is accurate, and makes much more sense in the recording

aka Nazi bar philosophy

arrrggg once again my lack of knowledge of ancient civilisation is messing up my comprehension of this timeline. was the iliad an old text by that point, or the latest best seller? what were the cultural relationships between the Egyptian and Greek civilisations? what about the Romans?

at the same time? as in "no, the kamasutra's cartwheel is not to be taken this literally, that effing table is really uncomfortable!" arguments?

replace 'female' with 'white' or 'christian' and let us know how your headline and article stands the nazi test...

jeesus I wish they could open new bar without this 'concept' drivel 🙄

Tweet by “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth: “The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.” Below there is a video of the announcement for his many, many illiterate fans

Behind Hegseth’s big stupid face, a painting can be seen.

The painting is of George Washington crossing the Delaware. It is by Emanuel Leutze.

An article from the National Parks Service: Smallpox, Inoculation, and the Revolutionary War Boston National Historical Park During the 1700s, smallpox raged through the American colonies and the Continental Army. Smallpox impacted the Continental Army severely during the Revolutionary War, so much so that George Washington mandated inoculation for all Continental soldiers in 1777. Just fifty-six years earlier, in 1721, Bostonian doctors and clergy introduced the procedure to the American colonies. Without the vision and determination of these early Bostonians in normalizing inoculation, Washington may not have made the decision to mandate inoculation for the Continental Army. Though it was a controversial action, many historians credit the medical mandate with the colonists' victory in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the United States of America.
