There's another one in Sidmouth Devon:

I love my steamer. It's easier to use than an iron and less damaging. You can't fuse beads with it though

Synesthesia. I was about 20 before I learned it has a name and not everyone has strong colour associations for numbers and letters, or sees a visible map of time in their head, or has music take shape. It never occurred to me to question it because it's always been my norm.

I'm sorry you went through that. I hope things continue to get better and better.

Another one I think should be added is that she presided over the selling off of large amount of council housing (homes owned by local authorities and rented at controlled to people who needed them or for free in the case of some benefit claimants).

The scheme is called Right to Buy and was lauded as a way for everyone to own their own home, as they were sold to the tenants at way below market value.

However, housing stock was not replenished, as local authorities did not get all the money from the sales, and were further restricted from using what they did get to build new housing.

What we've been left with us severely depleted council housing. Where I live and work, we have a huge list of applicants, and only those with the very highest level of need can get a council property, leaving others to pay extortionate private rents or become homeless.

Furthermore, the rules around resale weren't strict enough so you see ex council housing on property websites where people have made tens of thousands in profit on selling them. Many of these are now in the hands of private landlords.

I would really love to try the Quebec type. Hopefully one day I will fetch to Canada to have the real stuff.

Fantastic advice, thank you!

Once again, it's a right winger doing this heinous shit.

I relistened to a podcast episode about Sound Of Freedom movie the other day, and they were saying it suits the right wing narrative to believe child abuse is shady organisations using shipping containers. That way, it distracts them from the fact that most children are suffering because of a member of their family or someone in a position of authority (e.g. church leader). They get to feel righteous without having to look at the real causes or challenge the conservative ideals of the traditional family and religion.

Are cheese curds easy to make? I would really like to make pouting but I won't be able to get the curds round here. Or is there a good substitute that's easier to acquire?

Westeros. So pretty screwed unless it's Dorne or maybe Highgarden.

Pillock is the one I try to use in the car when the kids are there.

It's also a village in Worcestershire, although that's two words.

I just found it funny in contrast to the others, but if it works, it works.

 

He now splits his time between here and the room with the heated floor.
