I love this, but the circumstances have to be just right to put it on - hearing it randomly on the radio would be very odd

I don’t think that’s kind at all - leave the poor guy in his blissful ignorance! Nobody’s life is improved by knowing about Farage.

Crikey, I thought it was bad enough that my banking app had one of those today when I logged in, but dishwasher tablets has me beat.

Our (not York, somewhere else) VC wants us to know he understands that ‘the next few months will be unsettling and difficult’, so that’s nice of him. Still, bet he sleeps better than those whose jobs he’s put at risk.

As I posted, in the back of my mind was this vague memory of him having sold something with his mug all over it, and this was it - gin!
You’d need a drink after seeing the bottle…

I could well imagine Farage doing it tbh, and while it’s unlikely he’ll ever be PM, it’s not as unlikely as I’d like it to be.

Which is pretty much my view, so I can’t see how vitamin pills are ok (which I agree, they are) but gummies aren’t.
I just see the reasons for gummies and don’t think they’re necessarily infantile.
But I don’t think the OP was being entirely serious.

How quiet I am on your timeline is entirely in your control chief, I’m not planning on lifting a finger to assist or deny you.

Eating a gummy vitamin: ew you big baby
Swallowing a vitamin pill: so grown up, much adult
Eating a balanced diet that naturally contains all the vitamins:

Just seems a bit odd where you’re drawing the line here.

Yes, aren’t you? I’m in the UK, ‘admin’ can mean anyone from secretaries & clerical assistants to the VC.
If you mean ‘The Administration’ then I’m with you.

At my university we depend on administrators to keep our courses running - do you want academics doing it? - and yes, when the axe falls it generally takes them first. They are not the enemy. The ones at the top? That’s a different story…

I find it best to assume there are always ninjas around us and modify my behaviour accordingly

Are the VC and managers taking a stand of protest and resistance? Hard to imagine that in the UK.

It’s impossible to rule out that there are people who’ve had cosmetic surgery and do look younger/don’t look like they’ve had cosmetic surgery - how would you know?

Conveniently forgetting that too many vulnerable people *are* dead because of lack of covid precautions, and many more will be if anti-vaxxers were to get their way.

If by ‘the Rwandan people’ you mean a handful of corrupt politicians, then I’ve got some happy news for you, but I suspect you didn’t.
