parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026According to my preferred AI, the current state of my health and recent blood tests means there is an alarmingly legitimate possibility that constipation (heck, even just a standard but tricky to evict poo) could genuinely kill me! I wonder what odds I might be able to get on that happening... 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I feel like you have never actually spent any time in close proximity to a new puppy tummy! 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Well now I find that hard to believe, there is absolutely nothing better than a puppy tummy (with the possible exception of my newborn children - but it's been so long I don't really remember!). 😂 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Thank you, I shall find one to rub and sniff at the earliest possible convenience! 180

parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Currently listening to Any Questions on radio 4 and am reassuringly surprised by the almost complete lack of support for pretty much every opinion of ReformUK and Richard Tice! 010
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 28/09/2026In an ideal world there'd be only 2 'meals' a day. Brunch and tea. A proper English tea, cucumber sandwiches, scones, cakes etc... 030
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I just bring a martini, shaken, not stirred 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The last interview I had asked me if I would work for free! 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I admire your misplaced optimism. Unfortunately, it's unlikely there'll be a cat in hell's chance of an election in 2028 that will in any way qualify as 'free and fair'. The forthcoming mid-terms are going to be a terrifying wake up call. I hope someone has a plan... 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Trump wishes he was some kind of feared Corleoni type gangster. In his dreams, people turn to jelly at the mere mention of his name. He's just some 2nd rate wannabe. Putin and Netanyahu and Thiel (etc) saw the same weaknesses as the rest of us, and manipulated him easily to do their bidding. 032
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Before Trump (henceforth to be referred to as 'BT' in all timelines) this kind of thing was a firing/resignation offence. Now, it's just a Tuesday... 020
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I have stage 4 cancer, the pain can be excruciating. I don't take opiods for kicks! I have no idea whether I'm addicted or not, but I do know I can't live my life without them. Not long ago I was taking 24mg dilaudid, but managed to taper down a bit with a routine switch of opiate types. 130
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Of course it should be voted in. I am increasingly appalled by the cruelty and determination of so many to desire us to suffer so unnecessarily. 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Not sure about your teaspoons, but the curvature on mine is too small to slide smoothly around the egg 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 10/09/2026No they didn't. Their plan was to talk the bill out of time. Nothing they did was in good faith. And there was absolutely nothing 'magnificent' about their behaviour. Tanni Grey-Thompson's obsession with trying to centre everything around a group that wouldn't even qualify under this bill is nuts. 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I cannot imagine a single valid reason to even try. Why would you need so many men? How many jars do you need to open?! 010
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Quite right. Butter and brown sauce are the only sensible options. 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026You could always go out and make it true... 110
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026When I was a child, and largely unaware of 'bad' words, I'd use the (entirely made up) word 'frobbers' when an expletive was called for. With hindsight, maybe I was more aware than I thought... 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Might I recommend rolling the boiled egg on the counter, to crack the shell all over. Then pulling off a small bit of shell. Then take a dessert spoon and slide it under the shell and all around the egg. Shell is removed easily and cleanly! 110
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 07/09/2026My father in law had stage 4 cancer and was told, by his nurse, he should stop taking the steroids that made his final weeks bearable. Her 'reasoning'? Apparently, long term steroid use can damage the joints. She was concerned about his 'long-term' mobility. He died within the month... 170
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Would you also deny a starving child the apple in front of them, simply because you don't have a side of venison as an alternative? Assisted dying and hospice care are equally important, but have separate goals. Forcing the terminally ill to suffer unnecessarily in their final stages is cruel. 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Thanks to Tanni Grey Thompson and others the Lords failed in their duty to debate and suggest necessary amendments. A small group of people were arrogant enough to believe they could talk it out. If any of them are unhappy with the final bill, it's their own damned fault. 130
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Only if there is a full on revolution, unfortunately. Recently, the film Civil War is looking terrifyingly realistic... 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I don't disagree with you regarding much of this chaos. However, I think you are giving Trump too much credit. He was the rabble rouser, a means unto the ultimate goal. Trump gets to play the vengeful ruler to keep the focus away from Thiel etc until plans are in place and they no longer need him... 110
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 23/08/2026That easy, it's because he is a weak bully. He is scared of other bullies, so leaves them alone/sucks up to them. 020
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 23/08/2026The neighbour's fig tree is currently on overdrive, so fig crumble shortbread for us 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 23/08/2026It'll likely be dressed as a tipping point in Trump corruption, as justice needing to be done, as 'listening to the people'. We may even have the satisfaction of a Trump jail term. But Vance and what follows the distraction is what everyone needs to be concerned about... 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Trump is the distraction. The wilder his corruption, wars and isolation of the US gets, the more Vought, Thiel etc can push through unnoticed. Trump will be out at the mid-terms, not by popular vote (Musk will ensure GOP wins all round) but by the men pulling the strings. 1/2 200
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Does he really fail to understand that someone with a name like his is exactly the type of person who they think is 'comin over ere, stealing our xxx' (insert noun as required)?!? 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 23/08/2026À not insignificant number of those who do register an interest in assisted dying (in places where it is legal) don't end up using it. The reassurance of knowing it is an option, should things become unbearable, is sufficient for many. 001
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 19/08/2026And it never bloody does. My fridge is on its last warning... 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Thank you. I'm lucky to be living in France, where assisted dying has just been legalised. Everyone deserves the same level of compassion. 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Mashing an old, defrosted banana into pancake batter kills two birds with one stone. Also excellent with vanilla ice cream in a milkshake. Peel and squash the elderly banana and put into a freezer bag. Then flatten the mush and freeze. You can then break bits off if you don't need a full banana. 061
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Turns out I was middle aged when I was in my 20s. I wish I'd known then, maybe I would have done more with my time... 010
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 15/08/2026If a job needs to be done, the person doing it should be paid enough to be able to live 010
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Unfortunately, Trump's inevitable death will not solve the problem he (and those who stood by) caused. What is to come next will be the real problem. Trump was the foot in the door and the distraction from a significant sleight of hand. Project 2025 was written/implemented for a reason... 0101
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I used to nanny for a child who liked their toast buttered when hot. It was referred to as 'wet toast', which sums up exactly why I prefer the butter cooled toast... 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 15/08/2026As someone who also has stage 4 breast cancer death itself doesn't scare me, but dying terrifies me. No-one should be forced to endure the unnecessary pain and suffering of death simply to appease the sensibilities of total strangers. Life at all costs is cruel. 020
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 14/08/2026What's wrong with using a plate? And cutlery? I'm confused. I'd have to import the banana leaves from a fair old distance too! 000
parsozzle.bsky.social @parsozzle.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Shot in the street is too harsh (and quick). Stocks and a daily pelting with rotten fruit for a few weeks might be fun though... 050
