gingerjon Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Just now, ckn said: Never. Good. I require flexible working to enable us to look after Little and Tiny Ginger and allow my wife to work as well. I've had one interview two weeks ago where we basically at the discussing terms stage and it then turned out that the consultant had, in fact, outright lied to the charity about that - and there's no workaround when it's a nearly three-hour drive each way. And today it has become increasingly clear that a different agency haven't even spoken to the charity they're working for, let alone discuss any details with them. How do I know? Because, *another agency*, has just pinged me the details after several weeks of fluff from the original one. For starters. There is more. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Farmduck Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 This won't make any sense to people who don't live on YouTube. Lindsay Shepherd has been found Not Guilty of Wrongthink and Wrongspeak by an External Factfinding Committee appointed by the People's Soviet of the Wilfred Laurier University Socialist Collective. In a statement today Commissar McClatchy exonerated Shepherd and issued an apology to all the trans activists for the crimes Shepherd did not commit against them.

(and the Radical Fundamentalist Centrists) On 12/11/2017 at 7:47 PM, Farmduck said: The current hero among certain sections of the internet - Skeptic™Community©, the radical centrists, the Alt-Centrists - is Lindsay Shepherd, the teaching assistant at Wilfred Laurier University in Ontario, who was called before a Party disciplinary committee and denounced for problematic positionality (presumably an insidious form of right deviationism.) Rather than accepting banishment to some maple syrup collective in Saskatchewan for a period of reflection and self-criticism, Shepherd recorded the trial and released it on the internet. In the last month, Shepherd has appeared on all the big internet shows, the Rubin Report, some other one, the other one with that guy, and the Rubin Report. I'm not sure how she got to Dave Rubin's place in California. I guess she must have swum across the river to escape from the People's Soviet Socialist Republic of Ontario. Will she be granted political asylum in USA? Or will she be sent back, presumably straight to Room 101, where the political commissars of her university will attempt to deconstruct her troublesome situationality and rehabilitate her back into a correct mode of thinking? Can she be salvaged? Or is her crime, showing a 5-minute clip from a TV Ontario current affairs show, so heinous that she will need to be executed, if only to spare her family the continuing humiliation of producing such a deviant? In fairness to her parents, they have already appeared on national TV and denounced themselves for their child-rearing failures. Both parents read and confessed to long lists of crimes against the State, including bourgeois deviationism, backsliding and revisionist thought. They currently await sentencing.

Farmduck Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I've been studying a lot of genetics this week and my brain is starting to hurt. I didn't even do biology past Year 10 - I'm a Maths/Physics type. I know there are abut 20,000 human-only genes but do they have to be so complicated? Where's an Intelligent Designer when you need one? They could've started with Gene1 for your toenails, gene2 for your toes, and just worked up to gene 50 for your hair. 50 genes is more than enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just wrong. There are 206 bones in the human body, whilst some of them are duplicated would you really want 4 sets of left toes on your hands and feet?

Yeah sure there are 206 bones but surely you don't need instructions for all of them. If you've got your hand gene and your elbow gene then where else would your forearm go? Obviously you don't need a separate gene for each rib. Can't they just see where all the other ribs lined up and work it out for themselves. I'm beginning to suspect that you don't understand genetics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z in things is often more old-English correct than the British English S. It’s a historically recent thing that the British have adopted S as the standardised version over Z.

Tongs ya bas Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I'd like to rant about the big toe on my right foot. It is giving me excruciating pain. There is no sign of anything amiss. I recently visited cracow(see other posts) and walked miles, stabbing my toe on the kerb in the old town. The pain is an insistent dull ache that turns itself up to eleven when I'm least expecting it. I know we need our big toe for balance, but really why on earth do we need the bleeders? For as start, why can't we have our toe nails removed to stop all that ###### about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to see it from that side for a while. Might make people a whole lot nicer to those who are providing service to them. 2 "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
