Yes, particularly as I get older the equipment doesn't drain fully and needs a little help.

There's a rhyme about it "no matter how much you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants", well I choose to wipe instead of relying on the absorbance of my pants or trousers (the original saying is American so means trousers really).

I agree, the job of politicians is to reframe Trans rights as policies that benefit everyone. If everyone at a negotiation feels like they are winning you have a successful negotiation. Who cares if the new policy disproportionately benefits one group, we are all better off because of it, and in the case of Trans rights give them the same (non-codified) protections as everyone else.

(This is if course ignoring the oft used tactic of the far right which is to do the opposite and reframe beneficial policies (eh. ACA) as something that only benefits one group by calling it a funny name (eg. Obamacare), so it's easier said than done, but that is what the democrats should be doing more of, imho)

I mean, yeah, he'd have to hold the phone, no way that thing would stay the nook of his shoulder with a neck like that!

Bring back national service, but exclusively for Orcas, they have too much time on their hands!

Nice to see a British food section actually filled with British food, had a (German) colleague excitedly show me the Tennessee BBQ sauce he'd bought from the "British" section of a local super market, he was sad when I told him it wasn't authentic, or British.

Also, Typhoo and PGTips, but no Yorkshire Tea, shameful! ;)

If it looks like a nazi duck and it's wearing a shoe, it's probably doing a goose-step

It's "Golf with your Friends" not "Golf with your Comrades"!

I'm in my forties and I think every milestone decade has been better than the last. I also wholeheartedly agree with the above statements. I hope you continue to do the things that make you happy and carry on your enjoyment of them :)

Cold calling telemarketing ("Do you have time to answer some questions about x?"). Felt grotty with every call (got yelled at a lot too, be nice to people who call they likely don't want to call you any more than you want to receive the call), lasted 2-weeks.

Swapped out to data entry of paper responses into a spreadsheet, was so much better but only lasted 2 days before I went back to the phones. Am verg grateful I don't have to do that any more.
