I was in a card shop today. Boy, do they have all the bases possible covered. Father's day cards...


- for fathers

- for stepfathers

- for fathers to be ("a card from the bump" - I jest not)

- for the person "who was like a father to me"

- for grandads

- for grandads who are having their first father's day as a grandad

- for an uncle (???)

- for "my fianc?" (??????)

- from the dog

- from the cat

Bless him, but...


Kids like to do stuff and it's pretty harmless


Or rid ourselves of Easter and Christmas while we're at it

Me too. But when they are young can't you say no! Just told my teenager no, but then said why not bake me a cake.


Not a fan of mothering Sunday either as this is supposed to celebrate mother church.


Perhaps we should be nice to our parents every sunday!

I agree with you.

Even that sounds creepy


But anyway, here we go


That card is a just odd, because who stands on a road (in silhouette) surrounded by sand dunes, in the middle of no-where saying "I love you, Daddy"


It should be followed by

"WTF are we doing standing in the middle of the road, what would mummy say abou that? You know how she's very strong on using the crossing points. I wonder if it's this along with other things that Mummy talks about and why you now live at Grandma's house"


Plus they look like they've levitated a couple of inches of the Tarmac

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
