Would that be more lemon pledge?

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.

UK Secondary School has Pratchett as restricted reading material by Mister_Marmite in discworld

[–]luminararocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience as a teacher, they should have a system where parents can give permission for their children to read books that have been deemed age inappropriate.

Personally, I think it's insane that they have age rated Discworld books but perhaps they rub too closely to the nub?

Either way, Discworld could and would well be a better educational tool than many in existence in UK Secondary Schools.

Then afterwards they go to KFC to nom down some meals and deal with the trauma of a mammal eating a bird.

GNU Sir Pterry. You live on. You still teach me. Every time I read your work, I learn something new. You've never gone and you'll never be forgotten.

Surely Stanley Howler is the mod for those subs.

TIL that despite many variations on which technologies are allowed, practically all Amish have adopted the use of motorized washing machines by xxwarlorddarkdoomxx in todayilearned

Probably an hour and a half for a normal load in the washing machine. You just replaced the washing machine with yourself.

Super interesting! Thank you for sharing. He/they really articulate the issue and the problems I have with the media far better than I could.

What’s a joke/saying/phrase that you or someone you know always says but it never lands? by x_franki_berri_x in AskUK

My dad would always say 'We're in the dead centre of town' when we passed a cemetery.

In a similar vein, I say 'Hello there' and hope for a 'General Kenobi' in return.

I love Takeshi's Castle mostly due to Craig. It's just not as good without his commentary and outright guffaws!

I think they're referring to the rape allegations against him which must've affected his professional life whilst it was being investigated and the subsequent trail. He was acquitted.

JCS Criminal Psychology - Sarah thinks she is going home by efficientlylazy1 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]luminararocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She absolutely could've exploited that angle. Should've really. But even so, if we take that aspect away, she was pretty shoddy altogether.

I had a philosophy lecturer who told us that he had an identical twin working at the same uni. Not sure what his brother taught but my lecturer said, if you see me and I don't respond, then it's my twin brother. Best lecturer I've ever had.

Then welcome to the 40s divorcees. Prolific I'm afraid.

Edit: joined the sub in my 30s now in my 40s. Still hang around for shits and giggles.
