When asked why he didn’t dial 999, model Max Dos Santos Leite, 17 at the time, said: “We just came to the conclusion that we needed to get stuff done.“In all due respect, we only had that time on that day to get stuff done.“We didn’t have any other free time. With all due respect, it (the body) wasn’t going anywhere.”
“In all due respect, we only had that time on that day to get stuff done.

I was talking to my mum the other night about the Huddersfield and District Temperance Union NV thing mentioned upthread and she told me about a photo she still has. My dad's sister was sporting a Pioneer badge in the photo next to my mum, the latter with a bottle of lucozade, my mum with a beer. The Pioneer badge was a catholic church badge of shite honour, where you have agreed not to imbibe alcohol until you are 25. My mum says that pious arsehole really fucking wore it with pride, to the point that it drove her to deliberately drink hard + flaunt it just to piss her off.

He blamed a "media frenzy" for making Harris "vulnerable to people making accusations against him".
what a nightmare it must be when so many disparate people are queuing up to accuse you of very similar-sounding things

I feel like perhaps the 'bagel on head' train incident of a day or two ago could fit here.
I liked the detail mentioned in reports that "During the video, a group can be heard singing: "He's got a bagel on his head" to the tune of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"."

I used to work with a Dry Stone Waller occasionally, in periods when the sparky work was drying up. This particular one I worked with had lots of guns and liked shooting foxes dead and taking pictures of their corpses so the NT would throw him a fiver per husk or whatever. He was tea-total but had a ruddy complexion from the amount of red meat he ate. He definitely makes me think of of old-Real-England.
