Right, I'm sitting on a train to London from Cornwall and there's been disruption near London which seriously fucks up our plans.
We got on the train having been told it was all cleared up only to find out from Google, once on board, that London Paddington was closed. The fluffybunnies told the news networks before informing their customers.
What's even worse was the way these pricks failed to tell their own staff, letting their people take the flak from rightly pissed-off customers.
The arseholes at the top need sacking. Preferably as painfully as possible..

@Victor-Meldrew I hope you have enough coal on board to make it to the new destination.

Fuck me. Strictly Come Dancing has started.
Cue 12 weeks of silicon-enhanced, steriod-powered, fake-tanned, diversity check-listed, micro-celebrity bollocks being constantly watched, dissected and discussed by Mrs Meldrew.

The name of that show makes me grumpy.

You've left too many openings for comments there...

Seeking advice: daughter unit has friends over this school holiday afternoon, ostensibly to do band practice.
She tends to steer away from the popular plastic bitches at school, so these girls are a mix of backgrounds.
I just walked out into the kitchen, and one of them has body odour that could skin a cat from 10 paces. I'm pretty sure it is the one who refuses the pronoun "she" in favour of "they".
How does one approach the topic of "please don't let her touch anything in the house as I don't want to exhaust the planet's supply of Glen 20"?

@NTA "The refugee camp is in the backyard"?
In all seriousness, I'm sure your daughter is smart enough to acknowledge that not having personal hygiene is disrespectful to everyone else...

I also think she is, however there is a cultural (ethnic) issue at play that might preclude rational intervention

I think that becomes a broader discussion about the benefits of multiculturalism - bringing the best of your culture and adopting the best of what's here. And one thing most Australians agree on is personal hygiene, for which there are non-harming (earth or animal) alternatives available in any good shop.

Is she British?
