Impressive baby. Parents of autistic kids labeled neglectful for NOT putting baby in boxing class the moment they could lift their head unassisted. “They arrived at school totally unprepared to fight to the death” said teacher. “For a good show, play martial music while they’re still in the womb.”
Yes! Unregulated environments in which sex workers get criminalised and exploited are harmful. Regulate brothels. And those rapey 20th century attitudes need undoing.
Oh dear, he didn’t mean that. Oh dear oh dear.
Good job it was first thing in the morning. If uniformed cops had turned up later, he would think one of his mates had sent a birthday strippergram.
Klein bottle slippers would be amusing. And ideal for Maths department Christmas presents, along with Mobius scarves.
I am disappointed to report that there is nothing about those two geometric figures that makes me giggle. Please try harder when disseminating so-called amusing content in future.
Very nice. It reminds me of the freight lifts that some of the mountain huts in the Dolomites use for supplies. Tea tray plus long cable. One had a sign at the bottom saying that prospective guests could leave overnight bags in the tray and they’d be transported up. share.google/hvP1FP77NBbd...
Misleading headline. They mean B2 English (by CEFR standards) so the required skill in English would be similar to the French of a British kid with A level French.
Inspired by the boat in Japan that got loose during the tsunami and drifted empty to Canada? Nice big target. It’s a bit further from Sri Lanka, but with someone to steer and some fuel, you never know. Pack a few years of food and water and cross your fingers.
Is there one college that isn’t included? If so - that college owned the farmland there, sold it for housing, and annoyed the town council in the process, who named roads after all its rivals to throw shade.
I have heard them! There is a heronry by the Cam on the way to Grantchester and they make a loud croaky raspy call when flying home to the nest. It was quite a creepy thing to hear at dusk when kayaking through Newnham woods on my own…
Tbf it might not be hungry - with a beak that long in front of your eyes, it’s an inspection tool. I think it wants to ride the bike. Its feet are big enough for the pedals. But its legs aren’t long enough. A flamingo might manage. Beak operates a brake.
You have just given me an idea for an Only Fools and Horses follow up in which a girl is named after Del-boy - Delenda.
I feel it rather than hear it, including on meds. It’s going to depend on anatomy.
Twitter screenshot of @SNeurotypicals: Neurodivergent screening tests will be like "do you struggle with wearing socks" and ND people will be like "nope does not describe me, for you see I have a System" and folks that is what the question is getting at
Aha, found it
Is “super off peak” the same as “it’s a Sunday and here is your rail replacement bus service”?
Unfortunately for me that suggests someone who is scared of water or diving and spends all day hanging around the edge but never jumps. Try going in slowly first and work up to it!
And if not, Right to Choose in England.
Yes.
This is going to be a problem for trans men too. A man with low haemoglobin could be accepted for donation if tested at the lower female threshold. Health risk!
That dress is perfect for the passive aggressive wedding guest who insists that they had a gorgeous cream number, but everyone said no because they would upstage the bride, so FINE I SHALL JUST WEAR A SACK THEN.
Very cool. It would no doubt perturb a cat. www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmil...

I had a lot of aniseed flavoured antibiotics to treat chest and ear infections when I was a kid. They used to make me retch. The banana flavoured amoxicillin was nice though.
Then a robot vacuum cleaner would go knocking over all the crutches that were propped up against the walls, jamming them against the doors, so the humans couldn’t open the door to get in to the room and the robot couldn’t get out.
