“Gossiping” is a mistranslation for “criticizing the Church”?

If your kid’s school has a prize stash or if your kid goes to birthday parties where the host hands out party favors, Orbeez or a knockoff will enter your life.

My boss on my very first job would write people up for “gossiping” when they complained openly about not being paid for about a third of the hours they worked.

Again!?! I hope whoever caused this will be charged like in this case from AZ:

Wherever they post about planning parties for babies online, these stories should be somewhere in the mix to stop this from happening again.

Mynachlog-ddu Old Contemptible (7.2)

cheese_mynachlogddu

Old Contemptible
Easily recognised - it has to be kept in a glass jar as it will eat through cardboard or steel. If left open to the air it will start dogs howling within a seventeen mile radius. Designed as a cheap high explosive in the dark days of the Somme, it is still used as a cheap alternative to the phosphorus needed in tracer rounds and a malleable (if somewhat unstable) plastic explosive. Highly dangerous and strictly illegal, any reports of the whereabouts of any ‘Old Contemptible’ may be rewarded by a cash bonus.

Duty charged per kilo: None. Illegal Cheese.
Punishment for illegal ownership: Imprisonment and/or psychiatric evaluation.

That’s good eatin!

Tech ambitions said to lie at heart of Britain’s bonkers crash-and-burn Brexit plan

Opinion In an unprecedented year for the world, it might be easy to forget that, in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic, other unprecedented things are still happening. Yes, the UK’s favourite portmanteau, Brexit, is coming back to blight Britain.

News hit the streets this week that the chances of a deal with the EU are beginning to ebb away, with the UK said to be taking a hardline on negotiations.

But why are UK prime minister Boris Johnson and his team risking leaving the world’s largest trading bloc without a deal, asks Robert Peston, and he has an answer. The political editor of British television network ITV News said in his blog that limits to state aid for private companies, an EU condition for a deal, and the dreams of the prime minister’s chief advisor, Dominic Cummings, serve to explain the move.
