        What's remotely funny about that Fight Against Slavery ad?

        It's a fucking disgrace however you look at it.

          "She will tackle a list of controversial topics including Brexit, Trump and the Black Lives Matter movement."

          No, she really won't.

              I think the little pixie that operates the controls in her head must be drunk.

                The advice there - don't pour fats down your sink - is completely sound of course. What I've started doing now is to pour used cooking or meat fat into an empty butter tub and keeping it in the freezer (scribble on the lid in marker so that others don't accidentally open it). Then throw it away when it's full up. A shame to put a plastic tub in landfill but saves adding half a pint of grease to these things.

                Quite what nappies are doing in the sewer is beyond me. How would you even flush one?
                Do recycling points there not take cooking oil? The ones here do, and it then goes somewhere to be turned into biodiesel. Argentina generally is behind Europe in things like this, so I'm surprised the UK isn't doing it.

                    I think 'fatberg' might be my new insult.

                          I can't see any confirmation that any schools have actually taken up her offer.

                            I thought she had been touting for business (particularly Brum) but also there were (unnamed) schools who had extended the invitation.

                                              Is this legit, I wonder? I first spotted it in a ticker. "I know what it's like to be injured..." he empathises.

                                              Has he really spent all his cash already?

                                                This is "WTF!" but it's also very interesting, shedding light on the questionable neutrality of on;ine review blo.gs as well as being yet another exposé of the utter madness of capitalism etc.

                                                  Hope the keyboard situation gets better DM, can’t be losing yourself from the board too long. You might be able to get a usb connected keyboard pretty cheap, if the laptop itself is still in decent shape. There’s a call shop/internet cafe/pawn shop for tech and tellies shop up the road from me where a keyboard can be had for 8 euro.

                                                    Hmm, that price is right but I've only got two USB ports on this thing so fully occupying them with mouse and keyboard wouldn't really be a solution. I intend to get some canned air to clean it out, that might help.
