And she’s only 16, bless her! Apparently she couldn’t compete in the European championships because she was sitting her GCSEs.

In the UK, I think we are always chuffed as nuts to medal even when we have no hope of knocking America off the top spot. The gymnastics coverage tonight on the BBC was like ‘HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT AMY TINKLER GOT BRONZE HOLY SHIT’ and then Hazel Irvine was like ‘Oh, and we should not forget that Simone Biles won gold,…

My ex was reported to CPS once and kept going on and on about how it had to be me “or one of my agents” because apparently I’m the KGB now. I mean, it wasn’t, but that was my response too. Who cares who reports/leaks a thing if the thing is bad? In my case, if it is a spurious report, CPS tosses it. If he knew he was…

Sorry, but I’m from the North East of England, and I currently live in Wales, everyone I know is from a working class background, and there’s so much fucking xenophobia it’s unreal. (although funnily enough, virtually none when it comes to my age, the 18-24 bracket, which I just fit into at 24)

White privilege

the woman literally emailed me right after the story went up to say “i’m glad you told that commenter to fuck off”

Right? My initial thought on reading that headline was “What the fuck are the Japanese doing to get hit by lightning so often?”

Well, it does make sense when you consider the frequent thunderstorms over there, plus the fact that the average Japanese person is about fifteen feet tall, and made of...uh, metal...
