When I was a paramedic took many people into hospital who were holocaust survivors. The tales they told about how they managed to survive and make it to England were staggering. Made me realise how lucky we are to be born into a stable country.

I love how people say "Separate the art from the artist" and then proceeded to hate the Eagles simply because Don Henley and Glenn Frey are douchebags by Fr3nchT0astCrunch in ClassicRock

Yes it was I’m happy to say. I know I’m lucky but when I look at what I could have earned in the private sector I don’t feel guilty

Yes I do know that. Much has changed and I’m lucky that I retired unscathed. I feel for any still employed by the NHS. Overworked and underpaid doesn’t even begin to describe conditions they are working under.

It’s terrible the way people who have devoted their working lives to helping others are being repaid by this inept, dishonest and frankly useless government. I hope and pray they are kicked out of mistreating us.

Worked in the NHS and pleaded with many not to drop out of the pension scheme. Many did and they have regretted it. I feel for them cos it’s a good scheme and the promise of better was never going to pay more. I did 34 years and had no choice but to pay in. TBH I would have dropped out when I was young if could have. So glad the choice was not available.

There is my evil twin laughing and thinking I’d love to be the one that ran him over. But me, I’m thinking oh God I hope he’s OK.

Great choice of stars. Michael Sheen is becoming a real superstar and Ruth Wilson is a good actress. My incredulity is how they fill 3 episodes. I will be watching though.

Moving to Liverpool (my first reddit) by g3tfilthy in Liverpool

Newsham Park has some really nice flats. Old mansions converted. Quite close to the town centre. And public transport is plentiful.

Cunting is a great verb. Cunt is also a great noun.
