oh stop elevating everything to some kind of point of maximum need

(I say this as a major Clergfan)

Just leave them to it. I’m not in the advice business any more m88 but my advice to you would be: learn the art of uninterested equanimity.

"office nursery"?

WTF
 

Move to a country where charity begins and ends at home.

that said, I understand and empathise that airing it on here may be a way of maintaining irl sangfroid 

How do you have any energy left over to do stuff like your job after you have finished being outraged and/or revolted by so many things?

i get mildly annoyed by charity people who come and bother you whilst you are having a pint at the pub. pubs should be sacrosant

they had bells

Bit early even for you Scots to be starting on the whisky isn’t it?

For shame. If they had Lagavulin I’d be into it.

I also think nursery children are much more annoying that they used to be

we have wandered too far from the humility of the war years

I look forward to their return

I remember drinking in a pub when a chugger slammed the collecting pot down on the table.

'What is it' asked dave

'Cancer' said the chugger

'ARRRRRGH!!!' shouted dave and threw himself on the floor

"office nursery"?

WTF

It'll be the trainees/graduates/interns.

Clergs is contemptuous of the young in her old age.

Is this 'office nursery' a common thing or what.

heh

I am reminded of a fanny in the filmhouse bar trying to get me to sign a petition to support letting asylum seekers with HIV stay in the country

I was like "I don't understand why this is relevant to their asylum application"

they were like "they will DIE IF THEY GO HOME"

I said "well lots of people die tho, are you saying we should provide HIV medication to everyone in the world because that seems impractical"

and then she cried

fooking filmhouse bar

it is a nursery provided on-site

I have no idea how common it is but I don't like it as an innovation because of the children in need thing

also I thought children in ened were one of the noncey ones but actually now I think about it I might have confused them

TRY BEING INDIFFERENT TO STUFF M88

I dislike all forms of charitable donation solicitation.  I give in my own way, and precisely the amount that I want to give. Which is fooking nothing.  If Jacob Rees Mogg can pull himself up by his own bootstraps, then so can anyone.  fooking spongers.
