Paging Ogden

Has V filled out your census form yet?

So far, I've discovered that T doesn't know if she's been in a same sex
civil parnership, can't spell her employer's name, nor the street she
works in, nor the county we live in. Of course the fact that she filled
in the work details against Horse's name isn't great either.

I thought it would be hard to beat the recent "the new kettle doesn't
boil the water as hot as the old one" incident but she's gone and done it.

I wondered if anyone else might be having similar "issues" and for some
reason I thought of you...

 

Some of us are blessed with only having to deal with our stupidity and
not anyone else's.

 

Paul, you're special enough for two ;-)

 

And don't even think of ...

Eh? What possible business is it of the state, whether someone is in a
'same sex' relationship? Is Police State Blighty that bad these days?
Next thing you know, it'll be arbitrary arrest, abolition of the right to
silence and more CCTV cameras than any country on earth.

Oh, hang on...

'There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has
is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough
criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime
that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws'

It is the gay mafia. The church and gummint (tories in particular) are so
shit scared of being outed that they will do anything the poofs ask of
them and poofs are, like the wimmin before them, asking for special
privileges. Which is why we have to deal with all this shit. It is not
going to be a problem forever, as soon as the wogs work out that they are
less important in the grand scheme of things than even poofs they will
start getting fractious and life can return to some degree of normality.

Heh. Had the following discussion with L yesterday after she cycled her
son to school:

L: How far is it from my house to the school?

Me: One-point-nine miles according to Google Maps.

L: How many points are there in a mile?

Me: <whilst boggling> err... ten.

L: OK so it's two-point-eighteen miles there & back.

Bless.

 

That's not *technically* wrong...

 

Are you *sure* about that?

 

Well, if you were to express 1.9 as 1 9/10...

 

Well, I read it as "two-point-eighteen" being meant as "two whole miles
and eighteen tenths of miles", and not "two-point-one-eight miles"

 

Ah, that never occured to me. You're weird.

 

NAHAY?

 

Obviously two rhetorical questions because, as everyone knows, you already
know everything.

 

Two point one eight, but definitely *not* point eighteen, may be technically
correct although I doubt it.

 

Do we keep them around for their mental capacity?

 

I think it's closer to "not even wrong".

 

Arguably, most of the point of a civil partnership is that the state
knows about it (as distinct from a relationship, same sex or otherwise).

 

It might be right in one of the minority merkin dialects, standard english
for example.
