Re “Irish goodbye”, since you wondered:
Actual Irish person here, only heard that phrase from Americans. Just so you know, the phrase is definitely offensive. See also: Irish twins, Irish flu, Irish car bomb etc.

As an Irish person, I’m fascinated by how much people from other nations seem to care about Varadkar’s ethnicity and sexuality. Nobody in Ireland gives a damn. He’s an establishment politician who was appointed Taoiseach as he was seen as a conservative, safe pair of hands, a right-winger to lead a right wing party. I…
Starred for Irish slang.
Your ignorance is stunning. The UK’s 1989 Children’s Act states that when a child is at risk of harm, agents of the state can and should intervene to prevent further harm. In this case, the opinion of medical professionals and the courts was that there was nothing to be gained from sending this child, who was in a…
Looking at the evidence, competition in the NHS (primarily since the Health and Social Care Act, 2012) has not helped to improve the system - in fact, it’s done the opposite. Of course it might work differently in the US, but bringing competition into a system that was working pretty well in the first place was a…

They don’t have much in the way of Neutrogena sunscreen in the UK. I second all calls for Nivea SPF50+, it’s reasonably priced and doesn’t leave a white cast. Currently £6.50 a bottle.

I’m glad I’ve been somewhat helpful!
I’m sorry the explanation I’ve given you isn’t enough for you; I’ll try to be short.

Certainly in Europe there’s been a cultural change even within the past two years. Many coffee shops give a discount if you bring your own coffee cup, and many of us carry around a compostible coffee cup for this reason. Many people also carry reusable water bottles (e.g. Nalgene) rather than buying disposable. I…
As a fellow mental health professional, I’m truly sorry that you have such prejudice against people who have suffered complex trauma, often at the hands of primary caregivers.
Are two of the main female characters really called Ana and Mia? That is FUCKED UP.
The way it works in UCL, if you’re a staff member you can just book a room for conferences or meetings or whatever. My activist group has one UCL staff member who books us rooms there for our monthly meetings, and all us non-students just stroll on in off the street. Security is not a priority there.
What’s Irish Spring? I’m Irish and I’ve never heard of it...
You mean her lucky Vivienne Westwood suit?
