So it seems “Shup Up Wesley” Streeting’s desire to stop people being diagnosed with ADHD, as if that’s a thing the NHS actually does, has met with some pushback in the press.

Before coming to that, I can only wonder why he’s taking the approach of “fix ADHD by pretending it doesn’t exist”. I do know a group of people who are bad at remembering things exist if they can’t see them and … well, Wesley, I know a guy …

But I digress (do you find yourself digressing a lot? I know a guy) …

Where was I? I forget. Does this happen a lot to you? SQUIRREL!

CONCENTRATE, SARAH!

Right, so after his media round he’s decided that he wants to investigate what causes ADHD.

I can save him the time. Pay attention, Wesley. If you struggle with that, then … oh FFS

Anyway, sometimes a mummy chaos goblin and a daddy chaos goblin get limerence at each other and they go to the shop for condoms but instead they come back with three kilos of cheese, a USB C cable that will sit in a drawer with the fifty others they never use because they never open the drawer other than to put USB C cables in, a bottle of ketchup because the one in the fridge is out of date (they will not remove it from the fridge), and a wetsuit.

They will not have bought condoms.

Oh well. YOLO. Weird and probably quite kinky sex will ensue because chaos goblins Do Be Like That™ and then 9 months later a pure distilled essence of Loki will pop out and start screaming, until it sees a squirrel.

Does that answer your question, Wesley? Would you like to hear some cool stuff about trains?

@goatsarah
Welp. Thought being in the UK would keep me from the organic concentration camp farms that RFK Jr has wet dreams about but hey, I guess I'll see you on the farm.

Sigh.

And people say the transphobia isn't a canary in the coal mine regarding loss of human rights...

@goatsarah
So what you're saying, is that cheese causes ADHD?

@goatsarah actually, I'm curious as to what you think of the Great British Railways livery that's doing the rounds?

I think it just needs a "Made In Britain" sticker for maximum flagshaggers effect... Am not thrilled

@Nikkileah @goatsarah lol at the sticker idea.

FWIW (realise I'm not Sarah!) I don't hate it at the ends of the train, but I think that keeping the diagonals going on every coach makes it v messy - especially in the middle when they have to change direction.

But clearly the design brief was "maximum flag at all costs", so here we are.

@swaldman @goatsarah all opinions welcomed!

I agree that at the end, it looks good, but not replicated on each carriage.
I think we can sum up the brief as "Maximum Flag"

@Nikkileah Hadn't seen it.

Have now seen it

Not exactly tasteful, is it?

@goatsarah fair comment...
I'd have liked to see the regions get their due by way of liveries but clearly, it wasn't to be
@goatsarah stop trying to make me respect my parents
