“We’re All Battling”
Just a lovely story, one that makes me want to take the barrel of tar off the boil, hang the rope back on the wall and postpone a trip to the range:
“Today at my local supermarket, there was an elderly lady in front of me, kept checking how much she’s spending. Long story short, the amount came to over what she had, and she asked for certain items to be credited off.
“The Aldi cashier turned around and said, ‘It’s only £1 something over, I’ll pay it for you.’
“When it was my turn I said ‘what a lovely thing to do’ and the reply was ‘we are all battling at the moment and we need to eat’.”
Nothing like a bit of gratuitous kindness to help assuage the rage, is there?
My Kinda Gal
…actually, Bob Marley’s granddaughter, who was getting yelled at because she wore a t-shirt with “White Lives Matter” printed on it, which of course upset the Usual Suspects. They climbed onto Twatter and sent off many broadsides calling her the usual names.
Good for you, sweetheart. Everyone should respond in the same way to the Snowflake / Wokist / BLM / Permanently-Aggrieved when they start the Cancellation Derby.
Quote Of The Day
From Annie Holmquist (quoting someone else):
“Every time I go on a date, I discover the person sitting across from me is a modern, effeminate, and weak man.”
Seriously, you need to read Raising Boys To Be Real Men. It’s excellent, as is most of Annie’s writing.

…and I don’t care. Because once again, my reading’s suspension has taken a pounding.
You Brits are supposed to have invented the language; why can’t you fucking speak it?
— Dennis Farina (Snatch)
Ummm “been sat” ? What the fuck does that mean? Should it read “been sitting” or “sat” or (what I think they wanted to say, but I can’t really tell) “left to sit”?
Creating compound verbs without regard to proper tense grates on me more than a Hillary Clinton campaign speech. Here’s another example of the same illiterate bullshit:
“He was sat on a bench” — nice mix of past imperfect (was) with the past perfect (sat) there, you illiterate asswipes. Correct usage:
“He was sitting on a bench” — OR —
“He sat on a bench” BUT NOT a combination of the two.
FFS, I need a drink, and it’s not even 7 o’clock yet.
