Phorum, as configured, works in a mysterious way. The @#$%& is general-purpose. AFAICS, if a word contains an offending string, [ed: for some of them] the whole word seems to come out as @#$%&. But if you enter different offending words explicitly in the search window, the search returns different sets of hits. So there are in reality all sorts of @#$%&s. Ratty's making sense, but in a rather ambiguous sort of way. Without testing, we can't tell what kind of @#$%& he is on any particular day, or even in any particular post.

If anyone's interested in a film about civil disobedience surrounding climate change, have a look here: Just Do It.


Subtitled "the inside story on the UK's biggest troublemakers", it's a documentary looking at climate change protestors, currently in post-production and looking to raise funding. If you support their cause, have a shufty and give them some money - for every pound they raise in October, Lush (makers of uber-smelly bath things) will match fund it.


I saw some of the edits earlier this week and it was moving and quite affecting (while some bits weren't quite my kind of politics too) but worth a look.


And if you're not a big old fan of oil, or at least the oil industry's part in climate change, there's a march tomorrow. Get creative and get disobedient: www.crudeawakening.org.uk

I think it's pretty unlikely there will be much effective civil disobedience of the sorts Rosie mentions, it's rare that a group is well trained and strategic in their use of those sorts of tactics.


More likely waves of protests ranging from petitioners on street corners to (hopefully not) 1980s-style riots.

      @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.

      Infant Observation Invitation

      By MHannity · Posted

      Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
