@fesshole You are wrong. You only have enough boxer shorts for a single overnight stay, using the standard formula of “one pair to wear and one pair in case you shit yourself”. By more pants. Your wife’s pant supplies allow her to stay away for 22.5 and a half nights.

@CalvinMcnuggets @fesshole Whilst I don't know the specifics of this situation (so it's hard to make a comment) - I think you might have done the right thing. I think it's really important that we respect the artist's creative expression from copycats. It's just so lazy to copy someone else's work 👍

@LGBTCons Less than a decade ago Conservatives were openly opposing gay marriage. Perhaps this is what progress looks like, but it’s difficult to forgive some of the things that were done in the name of Conservatism in our recent history:

@Kent_Grandad I have the same coat as this - which I’ve owned for about 20 years and probably will continue to wear for at least another 30. I didn’t pay £390 for it, but it is wonderful value. Owning one doesn’t mean that I don’t deserve a payrise ever again.

@Conservatives This is patently false. By not changing tax allowances with inflation more people are paying tax, and most people are paying more tax. The UK tax burden is bigger than it's ever been, and inequality is rising at a staggering rate. You failed us all.

@lucyallan As you know that Council has been using lights to support Black History Month (a worthy cause) since the start of October. It would have been legally impossible for a Council to make a decision over this during a weekend. Stop trying to use a tragic event for political gain.
