It’s hardly surprising that a theory advocated by groups that normally don’t give two shits about killing animals turns out to be false.

The fact that she blamed the Tory defeat on things like not scrapping the human rights act is spectacularly ignorant. What a useless politician she truly was. Fuckity bye.

As a parent myself now, I completely understand this behavior.

I’ve read that article and I don’t see anything that could be considered hilarious. Imagine spending 3 or 4 years at University studying journalism or media studies to end up spending 5 minutes of a Saturday trawling the cesspit of xitter to cobble together 250 words of dross based on the ramblings of vacuous attention seekers.

You’re not the only one. I thought the Specials plus Church on Ruby Road were all great. Devils Chord has been the nearest so far, but still with issues. Boom…? A bit meh. Lots of Moffat tropes, and having Millie Gibson lie on the floor unconscious for 15 minutes felt typical of Moffat writing for female characters. Could have done with 5 or 10 minutes of trimming, and it wasn’t even that long. I thought I was just being cynical (I probably am).

The book is originally from the 80s, and if I remember correctly part of the conceit is that none of the family know what this strange “avocado pear” is (because in Britain of the 1980s no-one did). I don’t think the financial ramifications are really discussed, and the family keep feeding the little blighter avocados until he gets strong enough to beat up a burglar or something.
