I'd love to give blood but I've got familial hypercholesterolemia so I'm not allowed.

 

I'm also not allowed to be a pilot with this condition apparently.

Are you allowed to be a comedian?

The phunny pics thread was more volatile than the general news lol

I'm pretty sure that it wasn't the first thread that I've got the last comment in before the lock, either :D

Some people banned from General News require an outlet for their need to provoke.

I think there are two issues right now (one international, one cultural) that generate a big backlash or argument however you approach them, even suggesting them as debatable is an unacceptable position to some. I guess that’s what the mods are trying to avoid having to deal with.

Virgin Media are an absolute scam. I've been with them with the start of the year and I've been getting nowhere near the speeds I'm paying for (I don't mind it being lower but it was becoming unusable). I phone them up yesterday and tell me because I've got 17 devices connected (mainly smart devices such as Alexa's) my current package is not designed for this and recommended upgrading my speeds. I wasn't convinced by this so I did some digging and found that Virgin Hub3 routers are basically not fit for purpose with it being recommended I buy my own router and put the original one in modem mode. To cut the story short the difference is night and day. I wonder whether they provide kit they know isn't fit for purpose with the intention of upselling higher speeds?

Indeed, although I think increasingly the majority are aligned on the first and apathetic on the second.

When David Attenborough dies, he will receive universal admiration from all walks of life, yet his message has been largely ignored for decades.

I cannot think of another person who is so universally loved for so long, yet the public at large couldn't care give a toss about what they are saying.

I think the message he's been putting across has been applied at least some, but yes, not nearly enough for the value that so many people (rightly) put on his words.

I did write a reply but I see it hasn't been posted here! I mentioned 'politicians' so prob hit the default delete rules.

I think he played a huge part in my generation's awareness of the beauty and fragility of the world of nature.
