Anyone who leaves will be branded a traitor and I will boo them viciously whenever I see them posting.
Makes sense but they needn't worry. There's serious talk of me being asked to open up the shop next week because Mrs Thompson has got an early dental appointment. Probably won't happen and she'll just the 15-year-old work experience boy to do it but it's an honour to even be considered.
I totally understand their eagerness but it would be wrong of me to walk away from my current non-dental clinic and risk the wrath of my non-patients.
Breaks your heart, doesn't it? Just an ambitious lad who wanted to perform in front of passionate shoppers while he was at his peak. These big supermarkets have a lot to answer for.
It's true but I just don't understand why fans of Mrs Thompson's Village Shop are desperate for the move to happen??
Or worse, when they try to force through a move to a bigger foreign army in order to win more wars
Furious train fans singing hate-filled songs about their treacherous former driver and burning his old uniform
We need Transfer Deadline Day for other professions too. Surgeons being whisked out of the operating theatre to ply their trade in a rival hospital. Firefighter shimmying back up the pole b/c another fire station has bid for them. David Attenborough kicking penguins b/c he wants a move to Eastenders
Everyone's got an equally good chance!
Makes sense. If it ever changes to the duo system, we'll know someone's built a new system.
Okay but each person going to the sun is only allowed to take one handkerchief. We can't risk a handkerchief shortage back on Earth.
It's so sad that everyone in the village continues to hark back to that fateful day, despite the fact that I have repeatedly tried to sweep it under the rug and shift the blame on to others. This is no way to treat a good man who has specifically asked not be held accountable for his actions.
Yes
I've got one word for you and it's going to blow your mind: "Anti-Space Monkey Defence System." We develop a space-based security system that sounds an alarm when it detects space monkeys. The first person to hear the alarm then has to travel into space to defeat the space monkeys.
Thank you, Ryan. I wasn't sure if it was that one or the one Bruce Willis blew up in the Armageddon documentary.
Thank you. This is the handiest link I've ever been sent.
Agreed. Medical science went too far the day it created the man with scissors for hands, as seen in the documentary Edward Scissors for Hands, and it's only got worst since then.
Good question. Yes.
I know it's controversial but even as a renowned IT man myself, it has to go. Put me and put IT out of business.
Some people don't even know the basic facts about our home solo system. Here's everything you need to know
If you're not following @sirmichael.bsky.social, you are missing out on one of the world's greatest authors
Thank you, Pam. I can't understand it either. They're my finest gift to the world. Well, since I didn't rule myself out, I guess I have no choice but to accept your kind offer. But I don't want to sit in the front pew of the church. I'd feel too self-conscious.
No, they don't need to know about that. It's not a not deal and even when it does happen, they should forgive the person responsible and be nice to him because he was just trying his best
Thank you, Avery. I like to think this is my greatest gift to the next generation
Oh no, that would be terrible. I definitely don't want that to happen immediately, right now, straight away...
It certainly seems that way. We are completely lost as a society when a member of the public can't wander into a major publishing house and print a few thousand books. SHOW US WHERE THE PRINTERS ARE, YOU COWARDS
Yes
Anti-Michael discrimination, imo, and IT MUST END
Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate that ❤️
The publishing industry is in decline. Some say it's because of changing market dynamics. Others say it's because of technological disruptions. But the truth is it's because they refuse to publish my lovely book of Heartwarming Stories for Children.
Yes and I'm glad. I live in constant fear of having to play in a Premier League match. I don't know where I'm supposed to stand for corners and I don't know any of the other boys.
It's true. And their fellow picnickers would never give them up either. There's incredible camaraderie in the picnicking community.
Excellent idea. Every player should do this as part of their pre-match preparations. The ones who can't find a decent lookalike then have to stay and play the match as punishment for being too unique-looking.
It shouldn't be allowed, imo. If a player wants to go home and watch the match on television instead of playing in it, that's his prerogative. TV subscriptions aren't cheap so every player is entitled to get the most possible value from theirs.
Dig a secret tunnel. Wear a jet-pack underneath your kit. Swap clothes with a steward when no-one's looking and then sneak out. There's loads of ways for a Premier League footballer to go home instead of having to play a match but for some reason these guys aren't seizing the opportunity 💔 #epl-live
You're all being very mean to me and it's a terrible way to treat a good man.
Extremely uncompromising. No soup for Leah. Not now. Not ever. Unless she makes/buys it herself, in which case there's not really anything we can do about it.
You're not excused, Leah. It seems you've been corrupting Pam's innocent mind and it has to stop. She just there to say prayers so show some decorum.
Thank you, Pam. It's probably the other ladies in PG6 putting impure thoughts in your mind. I'm beginning to worry they might not have joined PG6 just for the prayers.
I would NEVER use inn*endo. This is a very unjust reading of my heartfelt beliefs in the indicators of friendship.
I've always said that true friendship is having two lovely boys who are willing to hoist you on to a greasy pole whenever you need them to. It's so beautiful ❤️
Pfft. There's no provision here for the introduction of either a second pole or a second ham. What bizarre rules!
I am a PROUD stew-besmircher. I don't care for it one bit and anytime in my life when I've been eating stew, my predominant thought has always been, "What a sadly missed opportunity for this to have been soup."
Sorry for the inconvenience. I will learn from this shameful episode.
You just declared war. I will ready my Troops immediately (after they've finished watching soup recipes on youtube).
HE MUST BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM THE SOUP TROOPS IMMEDIATELY (after his nan gets back)
It really does. Quadrupling is the highest number of increasing things that I definitely know the word for so it doesn't get better than that.
Not in Soupland we haven't.
This is a very unwise move. Gordon is not a born leader like I am and there have been several rumours (spread by me) that he considers stew to be the same as soup. Not fit to lead.
We must not act in haste here. It would be wrong to punish me for something I did but don't want to be held accountable for.
Not if you don't want to. I will also accept The Ladle Lord. Either is fine.
You can't blame me for that. I didn't know there were going to be wasps there.
Time to review my predictions for summer 2025. In hindsight, I think I set my targets too high :(
Perfect song. Needs no alterations.
Don't worry, I know a lot of songs thar require my proofreading skills.
Very similar. I can certainly imagine the ladies in the Girlfriend Village putting on a talent show every night to perform songs, poetry, dances and acrobatics about me.
Are the escorts allowed to wear karate outfits and/or bandanas?
I have a MAJOR issue with the "Sally" character in Don't Look Back in Anger. No prior mention and instead just inserted into the chorus out of nowhere. There NEEDS to be a backstory.
Exactly. I don't see any reason for anyone to doubt my story about the Girlfriend Village. It's a totally plausible story. Stuff like that happen all the time in this unpredictable world.
Undoubtedly a horsefly (1998-2001)
Look, I'm sure they tried their best but we need to have the facts here: they were no Friendship Boys.
I've just started and I'm already furious at what I'm seeing here
Sorry, I should have taken a bus somewhere and tried reading it on there before posting. I'll be more thorough next time.
I don't mind them having a little fun at the end. Only a little, though.
I object to this. I'm also good at drawing horses.
I'll get to work on it immediately but I can already tell that I'm going to recommend a lot more focus on the Mother Superior. A rock band that sings lovely songs about nuns is a band that will never have trouble getting gigs at church fetes.
That's a lot of na-na-na's that need to go. I'm going to need to order more red pens.
We can only imagine how successful they might have become if they had had the benefit of my editing skills :(
If I had been asked to proofread "She Loves You" by The Beatles
Instant 114 point deduction. Might seem harsh but we have to stamp this kind of intimidation out immediately or else every team will be disguising themselves as leopards.
There really should be a rule against that but I've checked and there isn't so there's now a strong likelihood that leopards are going to eat all the whistles :(
This kind of anti-business thinking is exactly what we need to avoid. Yes, the £1000 per game is great but the Premier League needs to be constantly maximising profits. And I'm sorry but this means saving as many whistles as we can from the mouths of hungry goalkeepers.
Inconvenient, yes, but would it help to raise the standard of refereeing in the top flight? Probably not. But we should definitely still try it.
This is the most sensible solution to this age-old problem I've ever heard. If the Premier League doesn't adopt it immediately, I'm going to seriously question their commitment to fixing the game.
Okay but only if all the people picnicking don't mind. I would never forgive myself if my dentistry interfered with someone having a lovely day out.
If I can just dislodge Bethany (7) from the attacking midfield role, I really feel like this is going to be my season 💪
No deal. I've always preferred performing dentistry during Premier League matches. That's just when I do my best dentistry and I will NOT compromise my work just to satisfy football clubs.
Well, it's too late now. It's already codified for this season so the earliest we'll be seeing matches without players disguised as leopards is the 26/27 season.
Outrageous accusation. Next you'll be implying that there's something shady about United getting the 10am on Tuesday kick-off slot every week since I became Head of Scheduling at the Premier League. Ridiculous.
I respect the traditionalist view on this issue, I really do, but at some point the cost of goalkeepers eating all the whistles was going to become prohibitive. The Premier League is not made of money.
You and the rest of your industry could at least TRY not to make them look so delicious
I know they've received some criticism but I have to say I'm broadly in favour of the updated rules for the Premier League season
Probably the good old day that was sunny but not too hot and you could buy a lasagna for a penny. You don't get days like that nowadays.
No, I'm worried we might gloss over some pivotal days in those good old months. It's best to take out day by day. It'll be slower but that's fine because I have no plans afterwards.
Of course. That's all we had when we attended meetings in the good old days and that's all we need now. Some people say the good old days ended the moment people started getting a full biscuit to themselves.
Don't worry, there's a meeting to discuss the in-between days just before the meeting to discuss the good old days and I'm confident everyone will have shared all their thoughts in time.
I really thought you would but THE new OCB-AI, which decides these things, says no and that there are twenty-four R's in strawberry. We can't question the wisdom of OCB-AI.
Of course. I didn't buy a laminator to not make signs at every possible opportunity.
Yes, unless someone discusses something that didn't happen in the good old days, in which case it will be discussed in bad old days meetings, which take place immediately after good old days meetings.
No, that was a bad old day which was sandwiched between the olden days and the good old days. It has no place in tomorrow's discussion and MUST NOT be mentioned.
I have. My favourite wall from the good old days is currently inaccessible to pedestrians due to building works so I had to seek out a significantly less convenient wall. It wasn't like this in the good old days :(
Not only can you wear them, we'd love to hear the story of how you bought them. I bet that was a good old day?
It depends on how well the start of the meeting goes. If it goes well, yes, it would be lovely to reflect on those glorious ten minutes. But if it goes badly, please do NOT mention it as we will not want to relive the bad old days.
Very poor timekeeping. We didn't have poor timekeeping in the good old days. SMH.
THOSE WERE THE BAD OLD DAYS. DO NOT MENTION.
The perfect attire. And I want to hear your finest and most mawkish story about the good old days, please.
Excited to announce that I have decided to become an events coordinator. My first event is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon 🤞
This conversation is OVER
Well, that person could have been anyone who looked and sounded exactly like me
I can't be blamed for not knowing this. Somebody should have told me at some point in my life.
