Ticth bosses who ding me on my annual review for using FMLA. Oh, and for coming in on my scheduled day off to help the company out in a time of crisis. Egg sucking son of a porcupine.

Definitely. If I used any other pronunciation at the fish shop, no one would know what I wanted.
While I'm on the subject TICTH the fact that Tasmanian scallops have been pretty well unobtainable here for months. The only ones worth eating here. Imported scallops have usually been frozen and when thawed are half the size they started as and they cook into white rounds of what feels like rubber.

TICTH Psoraisis - the long winter we're having means that my regular winter-long psoraisis is taking longer to clear up and itching like buggery.
(BTW - when I were a lad in't 70's pit village where I grew up scallops - pronounced "scollops" of course - were slices of potato fried like chips.)

TICTH secular bloody humanists who start FB posts and national newspaper articles with "It's Good Friday, I don't believe in God but blah blah these are my views." I don't particularly give a flying fuck about your views and the fact that you're using the excuse that it is a day of Religious commemoration to justify your secular humanist rant is .....annoying to say the least.

TICTH Lord Carey, for foregoing the chance to spread the wonder and mystery and grace of the Easter story to instead write an article that effectively translates as "moany, moany, moany, whinge, whinge, whinge repeat ad nauseum".
Happy Easter to you, too.

I was just going to add George Carey. But I refuse to refer to him as Lord. The very last thing a bishop and servant of God's people should be is a Lord, even less that he should use that status to spread hate against people who do not conform to his lower-middle-class vanilla sexual morality.

PS does he not realise that Chris Bryant is a former (technically still, as ordination is for life) Christian priest who for all we know might still be in active ministry if it wasn't for the bigoted attitudes of him and those like him?

Vanilla?
Who knows what lords and ladies get up to in their bedrooms (or kitchens)? Especially when traditional marriage requires women to be submissive?

TICTH the French and their complete lack of ecological awareness. They pollute, they don't know how to recycle, and if there's a smog alarm in your city the local authorities will tell you that they have chosen not to impose any measures and instead issue a bulletin telling you to "reduce activities which will make you inhale a great amount of air".

Many blood pressure monitors have an optional extra large cuff which will give a more accurate and comfortable reading for us fatter folk. I hope there's one for your monitor.

Hosting taking a toll? just remember - when reading another damn stupid post, close your eyes, visualize a clear, cool, still pool of water surrounded by lush greenery. birds are singing all around you. you take calm, deep breaths. and then shove the stupid fucking poster under the water and hold him there.

If you're all going to mill around like complete morons having a conversation in a place you're not supposed to, allow me to puncture a whole series of breathtakingly stupid assumptions you've made.
1. I'm not wearing this thing because my blood pressure is high, but because it may be going too low.
2. The cuff is adjustable over a wide range. The girth of my arm, impressive as my biceps are, is not an issue.
3. The cuff is fitted correctly. It was not fitted by me. It's SUPPOSED to be gripping my arm like a vice. THAT'S the issue.

Given that the critics of the headline are often guilty of equally sensationalist claptrap, I reckon you've got to laugh or cry at what passes for debate sometimes. On this occasion I chose to laugh.

But these were 6 real flesh and blood children who were burnt by their father being exploited for political point scoring. Sensationalist claptrap is one thing but laughing about the emotions stoked up around this case probably just demonstrates the incredibly depersonalizing effect of internet news commentary.
I'd like to think it does anyway.
