That’s the one.
Christ, I'm pretty sure it's this one in New York and it infuriated me. Literally stopping everything at a crossroads
While I am ambivalent politically the press are already attacking the new health minister for her size - sort of wrong for me , it’s about what she does and not what she looks like - I know a lot of fat drinkers who are top blokes
What they should criticise her for is her bigoted views on abortion and LGBTQ+ rights or that she has proved to be incompetent, NOT her physical attributesWhile I am ambivalent politically the press are already attacking the new health minister for her size - sort of wrong for me , it’s about what she does and not what she looks like - I know a lot of fat drinkers who are top blokes
I think that is where the problem might lie. Many of the new appointments are people who were only elected as an MP in 2015 or 2019 and have little or no ministerial experience and are given positions as Secretaries of State, while those with tons of valuable experience (albeit white males) have been chucked out.Press also focussing on Non white male cabinet content - FFS it doesnt matter to me an iota if they are qualified and can do the job
I do agree her appearance is irrelevant. However, I must admit I was amazed when I found out she was only 50.What they should criticise her for is her bigoted views on abortion and LGBTQ+ rights or that she has proved to be incompetent, NOT her physical attributes
Saw a post on Twitter comparing her to Waynetta Slob (aka Kathy Burke) - unkind but quite funny!
I do struggle with being preached at about being borderline overweight by a morbidly obese nurse (of which there do seem to be a lot in the NHS).
Absolutely agree. What the hell did they ever report this for I don't know.Press also focussing on Non white male cabinet content - FFS it doesnt matter to me an iota if they are qualified and can do the job
Yeah I’m as anti Tory as you get and it’s a cheap shot. Haven’t GPs got some of the highest drinking and smoking rates out there? Bears no relation to your ability to do the job.
In my job I've worked with a lot of clinicians and bastions of health they are not, unsurprisingly really given the shift working and hours undertaken by hospital based staff in particular. It is ironically a very unhealthy job.
Was at the supermarket earlier today. Parked well away from other cars, it was not busy. Returned to my car to find another so tight to my door I could only just get inside. The whole bloody car park to park in and they almost box me in.
However, the sheer joy of getting one that is oozing with cheese and browned on top (always slight butter the outside of the bread) should be enough to quell that annoyance.Sandwich toasters. Had a nostalgic moment and bought one on impulse. Lovely toasties. Forgot what a bastard they are to clean
I'm a keen cyclist and I can see anger on both sides regarding cyclists v motorists but cyclists who ride two abreast and don't go single file when a car approaches from the rear are, in my opinion, arrogant and acting in a foolhardy manner.Back to cyclists. I was coming into Cov yesterday evening, the back way through Kersley End. Came across two teenage cyclists riding two abreast in the road, decided to do the decent thing and wait for a clear gap, knowing I was going to have to go fully on the other side of the road. Started my manoeuvre, the outside cyclist riding one handed with headphones on decided to do a wobble on his bike and nearly came into the side of me. Get a grip young cyclists, cos on another day you'd have been under my wheels
Cyclists wearing headphones have a death wish, surely.If a copper can prove you’re distracted and not in full control of the car while wearing headphones and driving, then you can be penalised.
It should be the same with cyclists. On their phones too.
Charles Bronson being a prime culprit as I recall.Cyclists wearing headphones have a death wish, surely.
The worst are those who cycle on footpaths/pavements rather than go on the road, got clipped by one the other day when running - he probably learnt a few new English words.I'm a keen cyclist and I can see anger on both sides regarding cyclists v motorists but cyclists who ride two abreast and don't go single file when a car approaches from the rear are, in my opinion, arrogant and acting in a foolhardy manner.
Worse are cycling groups who simply don't care about anyone else, including pedestrians.

Yea, sorry about startling your missus, Harry.Just walked back into the house, at the same time my wife arrives after walking the dog. Inside for 5 seconds, when there's a knock at the door. Wife opens door, to be greeted with 'I'm on prison release, don't worry, I'm not dangerous. I need a fiver'. Dog starts barking at him like mad, and my wife not comfortable with his 'approach' said 'I'm really sorry, we've got things going on here at the moment' (partly true, but partly unhappy with his manner. He replied 'no you're not' turned round, and thumped our wall.
We have purchased once before, when someone was pleasant, and was selling something that we (almost) needed.
This guy may have said he wasn't dangerous, but he was threatening in his manner.
For the record, I hid in the kitchen, ready to jump in with a vicious kitchen implement
