A local informed me of an alternative version to that which is reported. If that version is the truth then it’s horrific.

Also regarding the fire brigade situation that is reported here, there is a local volunteer fire brigade that do a fantastic job.

Don’t believe everything that you read.

Lol. Probably the one that you’re thinking about. You might not have heard the classical tribute song that was made in her honour, “Fish And Chip Bitch From Ipswich”.

Never been there mate. I was born in the guts of the town. Moved out slightly at the age of 6 months. ( They knocked down the slum that I was born in ) I’ve been in Aus 32 years now mate. ( I used to service fire alarms all over Yorkshire. British Legion Housing Associations and Mecca Bingo Halls. ) I don’t even know where that museum is.

Was that the bloke in charge of the horse pulling the carriage ?

( Lol, Stockport lad signing in, cheers )

Must be kidnapping Putin. That’s what they do to bad men isn’t it.

Can’t the police IT experts find any info on his phone anyway ?

I’ve said it before on Lemmy, but anyway I kept buying a bottle of spirits ready to celebrate. ( well bubbly two times initially ) but I kept drinking them. So now I’ll just wait for the great day to buy. Cheers for the future.

So like, gay people riding on busses ?

I used to mix bleach and ammonia to clean my shower. It was very effective and very hard to breathe. I was in my late thirties/early forties doing this. DOH !

“International”. Cheers from Australia.

Or temp toilets.

Up to now I have bought two bottles of bubbly and three of spirits. The first bottle got consumed when I celebrated another thing last October. The other drinks went too so I’m just going to buy a bottle on that great day. Cheers, can’t be long now. Surely !

Your two options are too easy. A fire and a stake are more appropriate. And if that’s too barbaric maybe slowly lowered into a vat of acid. Just a couple of thoughts that are suitable.

Made me chuckle.

Oh shit right thanks. Yeah that’s simply wrong. The absolute minority controlling isn’t what voting is about, as we all know.

Get that “let them eat cake” era back and sort that whole damn mess out. What a corrupt entire system.

Lol. My ex wife used orange paper once saying that it would be good to stand out. She didn’t even get an interview. She was about 36 at the time.

Can somebody please tell me what that Citizens United ruling is all about ?

( Brit in Australia )

Oh my, those last two are news to me. There was actually a Tv series called To The Manor Born, so I’m blaming that.

Now, about that pint of Guinness.

Well to be fair I think I’ve wrecked my brain a few times thinking about things too much.

Yeah sorry but where did I say that our government is “planning to enact atrocities” ?

All I’m saying in a tongue in cheek kinda way ( but half on the fence because the way the world goes at times ) is that “we” really don’t know.

But in a very serious tone, I fully appreciate what you do and I’m glad we have a system in place. Using tech for good is a wonderful thing. Respect to you.
