Banging your cousin - Council

Quite.
One must uphold a modicum of decorum during any activity.
Surely one just opens one's smoking jacket to reveal the necessary appendages and let them get on with the business of extraction. Then your hands are free to drive a cab, sign papers, read a journal or perhaps smoke a cigarette.

It could be made illegal with one quick law, can't imagine why it's not made

I remember seeing about this, and a comment from someone saying it was ridiculous to diagnose it from artwork, where artists would try and create easily identifiable family features to make the lineage more obvious.

I'd be interested to see how much of it is real and how much is stylistic influence from an artist.

Almost, I don’t smoke.

Wouldn't make a difference in some communities

Actually the Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities.

I've seen women/girls really getting married and they are bed bound, hoisted, cognitively impaired, relying on serious 24 hr care- and some lad gets flown in to marry them. These girls couldn't tell you what day of the week it is, let alone consent to marriage.

That said I seemed to spend all of Friday last week dealing with white English child sex offenders and also several families whose children have been removed from them due to safe guarding issues (I will spare the details).

one bloke I interviewed- the crimes against his kids were shocking. I seriously do not know how I didn't drag the piece of scum across the table and beat him to death. well I do know, but how/why these people exist and walk amongst us, goodness knows.

but he needs housing, bless him, because he's getting targeted on the estate. Good. stay there mate until some meat head does you in properly. which they will. Council justice. never touch the kids. It's all about the chillllllllllldrrrrrreeennnnnnnnn innnit.
It's brutal reading stuff like this, and you're performing a job I don't think I could.

I think I've got just a hint of sociopath in me, and whilst I can and do emphasise with people - I just don't feel their pain, I just want to get it sorted and dealt with as quickly as possible.

My lad had his appendix out a few years ago, he was in awful pain, but I wasn't, so I just carried on doing what humans do, breath, drink, eat, st, make snot and fart and joke and try and make everything a little easier for all the people around you before we die.

5 hrs in A&E with him today over an elbow injury.

I have massive respect for people that work in these environments, the frustration must be beyond belief.

@austinsmirk - Can you tell us a few good stories?

Probably been mentioned (several times over) but went to a toby carvery the other day, fking hell now that is council x100.

Sweaty looking people queuing up for a mountain of food with some slices of the driest meat you've ever seen at the bottom of the heap.

I particularly liked the little scam the bloke in front of me had, which was to buy the smaller carvery (saving £2), he asked for pork and beef and just as the server hands him the plate he says 'and lamb'. Server looks at him as if to say, well I've carved the allowed amount of meat, only for the bloke to say 'and lamb' again but in a more aggressive voice hehe

fking trodden in food literally all over the floor, properly animal hehe sauces and gravy all over the counter.

However i did have a mountain of food (legitimately ordered btw) myself, so much that after eating it i felt like i had taken drugs and was having a bad one, really messed me up for a good hour afterwards. Good value though i will say that, but very very council!

You're a bad man TD. Laughed so hard at that, the cat jumped off the sofa and ran out of the room.

Give me a top quality sunday roast at a family run pub/restaurant that's been doing it for decades, with the same chef, for basically the same price, any day of the week (well, any Sunday, but you understand what I mean hehe )

I visited a Toby a couple of months ago because it was handy and I was in a rush. The food was... acceptable. Just.

The clientele? Positively bovine.



But then I've been known to very much enjoy a rack of Harvester ribs... so I'm standing on very shaky ground.

quick tale.

Jan- snow thick on the ground. our roofers are trying to sort broken tiles. everything is covered in ice. it's bitterly cold.

A little angelic girl comes out to play in the garden, in the snow.

she's got summer sandels on, a summer dress. she's going blue with cold.

Paul, our roofer shouts down " hey hey"

she looks up- so cold, her snotty nose looks like she has icicles hanging down from it.

"yes mister"

"go inside and tell your mum that she's to put a coat and boots on you".

she goes off. there is shouting and banging.

she comes back out. still wearing the same clothes.

"hey mister"

"what"

"me mam says you're to F&&& off".

I have a foreign relative who comes to the UK on a regular basis. He's absolutely loaded, but loves going to a Toby carvery because he thinks it's brilliant value!!!
