We were glad the college had a bar, it felt a bit like Outsider Suspected Reds would not be welcomed down the local. It seemed a bit "Property Prices." Fancy. V pretty.

Fun fact, while #BBCQT is in Bishop's Stortford, there used to be a trade union training college there. Went on some courses there in the 90s.

Is it a list it's a list isn't it

We had similar the other day, with a Nadiya cooking programme that had subtitles from the Scottish wildlife programme Landward.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

I had a friend in Leeds who was once burgled by her neighbour. When she next went on holiday, she assessed the house & concluded the only place he could possibly get in was via the Dormer skylight on the roof. She subsequently affixed an A0 poster with "FUCK OFF DUNCAN" written in large print.

FFS. Sam McBride there on my tellybox, "We can't make the world how we want it to be."
Why the fuck not?
We made it <this> way.

Well that's a pain in the arse.

Remember how we just went through a multi-week newscycle where Democrats and liberals were lambasted for their "violent" political rhetoric, which included Fox hosts claiming that only one political party was demonizing their political opponents as evil? And how libs needs to lower the temperature?

Trump 2.0 is so much worse than 1.0 it’s hard to really grasp.

No Kings, No Violence: On the Ongoing Misrepresentation of the Left Portlanders deploying inflatable animal costumes, a brass band, mass ukulele renditions of “This Land Is Your Land,” naked bike rides, and other tactics in their ICE protests are undermining the Trump...

Feature filmmakers love left-wing violence plots. Secret gun-toting guerrilla groups, shootouts, car chases, hunted fugitives, and the rest work well – for movies, whose only job is to hold our attention for a couple of hours.

The "protecting women and children" crowd will be all over this... any minute now...

Degree level english: Useless. A waste of time.

I will be executing one of Santa's elves every hour on the hour until we have assurances that this shit will stop

Quite a few of the asylum seekers we support are actually taking Welsh lessons but none of the English people I know who live here have either started doing that or actually seen it through in any way.

"please bring this document with you on the day of your test. this is a confirmation letter for your life skills test. YOU TEST DAY INFOMRATION"

seeing as we're all talking about the proposed language requirement changes for visas: here's the email my wife was sent for her B1 test in 2018. imagine spending about £800 in total across 3 tests, and you're met with

"YOU TEST DAY INFOMRATION"

Yeah that jumped out at me too. Ashtray in every room. Fuckin mingin' really

Nah those are written directly on the wall. Young people, honestly!

Actually now doubting amyloid was even the right word...#BrainSmush

Trying to blame hormones instead of amyloid placques 😬

Mate my graduation was last year and I STILL feel like being a student was a lifetime ago. My brain is smush nai.

Queens SU was loads better. Around the time that was taken I lived up the Shmoke too. I loved that canteen actually, good veggieburgers as well.

Jordanstown too. That's in the Welfare Office bc a (still) bestie was Welfare Officer at the time.
Was at Jordanstown my first year when I went back again, it wasn't any less grotty this century but didn't even have a bar by then!

Me in a previous era. In the UU student union about 1994. Finally left UU with a degree rather than a hangover 30 years later 😄
