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?

@MN5 so what'd you think of #1?

I’m astonished that a pretty ordinary song from the 70s has become so popular all of a sudden.
-
@MN5 well TBF I assume #2 would take it, cos it got really popular again...
lots of the top 20 way out of where I had them -

But how the fuck a song that came out four years before I was born took number one just baffles me.
It’s not a terrible song but it’s pretty ordinary….and simple.

@MN5 could argue it isnt really even a rock song, more a ballad, just the band, is a rock band.
Oh well, wheres my beer
