Despite PTSD, long covid and latterly two compression fractures of the spine, I have faithfully trawled UMRA for BTNs since re-taking the
mantle as BTM earlier this year.
There have been but three successful nominations since April.
In April there was a witty post about the People's Pope;-a in September a wittier reference to losing weight the nuclear bomb way.-a In December, Brrittski inadvertently sealed the fate of the BTNs with his phrase "Et
in arcadia tuo".-a Yes, even here in the sunny climes of umra, I fear
that Bad Taste is dead.
Three posts do not a ceremony make, nor three fine examples make a resurrection of the BT awards and ceremonies.
Umra has changed.-a Ai am not one to scrape the barrel and ai therefore resign as BTM.-a There will be no ceremony this year either.-a This signifies the predominance of Good Taste in umra.
What do you mean, not another one?-a At least I am telling you about it.

On a related note I understand that Denmark has abandoned the concept of
a comprehensive post service in the light of modern technology and yet I fear for the day when hackers (who might well be based in any country) undermine our banking / transport / email / add all other examples of systems and nothing works.
Take the government who loudly tell us that all GP surgeries have an
online appointment booking system.-a This is not true.-a They have a no doubt hackable piece of software which demands immense amounts of
personal information (and takes a long time to complete) which might eventually provide an opportunity for a phone call.-a If it was an appointment booking system you would go, enter details and select a date
and time.-a So why do they lie?

To be fair, I must mention the fine service from Post Office employees

making my way to the back of the shop where the lift is and was stopped
by a uniformed employee who asked if I was going to the Post Office and
said that the lift was out of order but if I would wait at the Lottery Counter (on the ground floor) he would send one of his colleagues down
to attend to me.

Listening to my wife who has been struggling to pay a part holiday bill

I can walk over two fields and down a footpath to the doctor's surgery
and arrange an appointment face-to-face with the receptionist faster
than I can get someone to answer the phone on the appointments line.
However, this morning I received a text message which I think was from
the surgery[1] telling me that soon, very soon, I'll be able to book appointments much faster.

[1]For some reason, the GP surgery and one of my credit card companies
seem to share the same five-digit identifier so I can never be really
sure

Sadly I think we must accept the inevitable.
On a related note I understand that Denmark has abandoned the concept of
a comprehensive post service in the light of modern technology and yet I fear for the day when hackers (who might well be based in any country) undermine our banking / transport / email / add all other examples of systems and nothing works.
Listening to my wife who has been struggling to pay a part holiday bill
but firstly could not sign in and then once I had fixed that for her
found that the amount outstanding did not match the amount owed (a
deposit had not been deducted) so required a phone call to be told that
they have a new system and it does not work, mirrors umpteen other
examples of her encounters with modern life where none of the systems
appear to work as she might wish.
Take the government who loudly tell us that all GP surgeries have an
online appointment booking system.-a This is not true.-a They have a no doubt hackable piece of software which demands immense amounts of
personal information (and takes a long time to complete) which might eventually provide an opportunity for a phone call.-a If it was an appointment booking system you would go, enter details and select a date
and time.-a So why do they lie?

The last wardrobe malfunction ended up in a trip to a place where it was always winter and never Christmas. Having been shopping this afternoon
that sounds quite appealing.

Likewise - except that I can't actually WALK there faster because my
ongoing health condition makes walking more than a few yards very
painful, so I have to stop for rest 3 or 4 times in the .1 of a mile.

That really beggars belief. Our surgery stopped doing them for a while.
Then having had a complete set of blood tests one of the other idiots
(prior to the takeover so not the current people) refused to look at the >blood tests and insisted I have another set - which I kept trying to
point out was a waste of money. In the end rather than listen to reason
one of my tablets was put on limited prescription (every two weeks
rather than two months) because of his refusal, so costing the NHS even
more money in terms of getting extra prescriptions written and processed.
Simply no brains.
I have this vision of the health centre as a kind of red dwarf: not
the TV series but a star, not quite a black hole but which still sucks anything in the vicinity into its orbit.

Point of Pedantry: red stars are large and cool, dwarf stars are hot and white which is the joke in the title of the series. A red dwarf would be
a pathological outlier on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram.

Around here we have a few pharmacy practicioners - or whatever the
correct term is - who are qualified to do minor prescribing, give
injections etc. I should have imagined they could take blood samples
too. I suppose there's nothing like that near you? Or at any rate
closer than two bus rides away?

After some discussion it seemed better to go with the rubber option. Apparently it lasts longer and reduces volume so wont disturb anybody downstairs.
OK, I'll admit to having had some difficulty in coming up with an (un)suitable response to this so, inspired by a more recent post, I
asked Google Gemini. It responded with:
That's a fantastic exchange! It sets up the double entendre perfectly.
Here is a humorous, suitable response for **Person 1** to complete the exchange:

I remain a subscriber mainly because certain elements chime - rather

had a fair trial as much weight was put on her presence on the unit

concerns are wrong as she was tried by her peers - but even the expert witness has subsequently changed his mind.-a In doing so I feel it means

I would accept the comedy is often less incisive than historically the
case; the loss of many of the older contributors has no doubt changed
many aspects of the content.
