Not a giraffe and hardly ever on a stick. Probably too heavy to balance on one these days.

I am not a pet person. I am certainly not a dog person. I don't trust them. This dog is super placid 98% of the time but I feel like my life is now ruled by her.
I also don't like how she smells. My house stinks of dog.
We did it as a favour to our friends but I wish we'd never agreed to it.

And then .... the National Insurance cuts.
This is *insanity*. I would happily pay more NI for the National Health Service. They are cutting the source of the funding to an already depleted service.
Just so when they lose the election they can point fingers at the incoming party raising taxes & NI

I can imagine. He sounds like a nasty piece of work. My teacher wasn't nasty, just very affectionate.
My teacher wasn't sent down until a good 10 years after I left.
No one ever said a thing.

True fact: one of my primary school teachers *was* sent to prison, because he used to "assist" the year 7 boys (we went to secondary in yr8 back then) in the showers after PE.
He committed suicide in prison, eventually.
I thought he was a fabulous teacher 😳😳😳😳😳

We bought 18 one as her Christmas present.
On opening, she said "mum! I'm not in *THAT* kind of relationship"
Turns out the kids thought these were some penis coverer.
When we explained that no it wasn't a weird penis fetish thing, but for her gearstick, she brightened up.
And loves it.

Yeah, for some reason in 10 years' time it wouldn't make a difference, but if you rewind 6 years, she was 12 when he was 18....
