^^I used to watch it on TV. Lots of MPs in there look like they are half asleep. As long as he is awake and listening, I don't care how he sits. Slouching sideways doesn't impede his hearing.

I do think he's a twat though, as he voted against same sex marriage. That's a real reason to dislike someone, not this nonsense.

Is this disrespectful?

^^ I think the likes of Gordon Brown nodding off was far less disrespectful because we all know what it's like to feel so painfully tired that we struggle to keep our eyes open at important times and occasionally succumb for a moment or two.

On the other hand, Rees-mogg is awake but appears to intentionally be making a point that he isn't interested in what others are saying by lounging all over the seat. It's like someone who isn't remotely tired purposely doing a loud yawn in front of you to make the point that you bore them.

Looked like a teenager doing it and she looked like a teacher telling him off.

One of the reasons I have such respect for Caroline Lucas. She isn't afraid to challenge this type of behaviour.

Is dictating to others how to sit an ongoing problem of hers then? Does she roam the public transport network looking for manspreaders to challenge? When she's not busy being a huge sexist of course.

I agree his voting record and the things he says are the real problem.


Gordon Brown looks a bit sleepy, but it's probably just a bad photo and he's looking down. Reese-Mogg was quite clearly lounging. Again I'm really surprised you're not more angry that he's lolling about while being paid from your taxes!

I think Gordon just dozed off for a few seconds. I have no issue with it, they are all human after all.

Mogg was doing his job just as well/badly as if he had been sitting up, so it just makes no odds to me. I think whining about this is grammer nazi mindset. What's next, checking if they are chewing gum?

Googling the spelling for 'yoghurt', thought the bastards had changed it without telling me.

I kept looking and thinking it looked too 'long' - it didn't help that Mo spelt it 'yogurt'

Tbh it was just one of those moments when you look at a word for too long and it suddenly appears to be spelt wrong.

The supermarkets spell it yogurt, as do all the branded yogurts I checked.

They'll be okay if i double bag them, right?

Sitting in the college library. We have a free independent study session but being the 1st week none of us have anything to study!

So were all (well some of us) sitting in the library on different tables

Had nutrition this smorning, was fine. Got conservation and then animal health and science in the afternoon.

Didnt want to go the smorning (anxiety) but has been ok so far.

I was there for over three hours, although I didn't buy much since I was mostly checking how a few things looked before getting them delivered later. Although I did see a little cat lamp and I thought hmm this is nice, but then put it back when I thought what would I even do with that.

HOWEVER

I went to get some lunch and it was extremely busy. The only empty table I could find was for six, so I sat down at the end. Two minutes later a noisy family of five decided to all sit down next to me I wanted to die!

I hate canteen-style seating. Everywhere should be required to have tables for one.

Trying my hand at banana fritters. Have never ever made them.

It's weird/annoying that they'd invite more people than they'd allow in, but I suppose they have to do that to guarantee a full audience on the day (it'd probably reflect badly on them if the camera turned around to show a few empty seats).
