If the licence fee goes, the BBC will be reduced to a rump broadcaster on the lines of public broadcasting in the US. Every month, all radio and TV stations will spend several days asking for donations to keep going. Radio 3 and Radio 4 will disappear as functioning entities. Radio 2 might just about survive. Local radio will disappear, with the possible exception in extremely large cities. Later we'll be taking dedications for anyone wrongly turned down for planning permission. Also, I'll be asking: Which is the worst monger? Fish, iron, rumour or war? You join us live at the Berlin Olympics on "Grandstand" in 1936 on this pleasant summer morning in Nazi Germany. Everyone's here. Hitler's in his box, Jesse Owens just waved to him. He doesn't like that. Throughout the questions I will be remaining impartial at all times. I will remain Pontius Partridge. I'm on mobile, so sorry if the format looks weird.. I've also never posted on Reddit before! Also, I put NSFW just due to swearing, is that right?)
But not too informal; it's not Nigel Pinsent's "In Depth", but neither is it Wally Banter's Junk-Box The BBC is not a streaming service. All the big platforms do one thing only, and often do it well. But they have no obligations to provide factual news, research, or programmes that examine in detail social issues, eg File on 4. Avoid all-or-nothing thinking: If your hatred toward others is rooted in a disagreement with them about a specific issue, try to remember that you can disagree–and even be angry–with others without hating them. Just because you strongly disagree with someone else’s beliefs or behavior does not mean that person is all bad. This type of thinking is called all or nothing thinking, and it is irrational. Remind yourself that your feelings of hate are about the issue, not the person. News will be reduced to a skeleton operation reliant on press agencies. Educational broadcasting and children’s television programmes will disappear. All the science provision will dissolve. Documentaries will vanish. There will be no room to encourage new writing or music. Social information activities will cease.Could someone clear that shit away, please? It's just, it's in my picture. People may associate it with me. Two fat ladies, 88! Not that you'd find these ladies at a bingo hall, of course... they're altogether a higher class of fat lady. The older I get the more I notice how "common sense is not that common". It's impacts day to day life. How many people have no problem with stopping in the middle of the street to take a picture or to say hi to someone, or to cross a street without looking, or push a door that clearly says pull. How many people have no sense of spacial awareness whatsoever. I spend an embarrassing amount of my day just being bewildered at the complete stupidity of the general public. I travel a lot and it doesn't change depending on the city or country I am in, most people are completely oblivious about how to act in public. So many people cannot take social cues like when someone isn't listening to their story, or not to talk to someone if they have headphones in. Or people who just completely cannot comprehend that they made in fact be wrong, because everyone else around them must be wrong. I have so many examples and so little space. If you hate people too you'll have your own examples.
What should the BBC do next? Take the threat seriously – how? Play for the highest stakes possible. Namely, it should call the government’s bluff by mothballing its ridiculous “editorial balance” principle and start exposing, via a variety of genres, how the Tories have worked tirelessly to destroy the UK’s democratic institutions, one by one, in pursuit of the alignment of the country’s fortunes to the wilder shores of US republicanism. Given the Conservative party’s apparent inability to understand for what and for whom the BBC exists, isn’t it time to consider making parliament a subscription service? I realised I had nothing to worry about. The man was a perfect gentleman. But if you told me 25 years ago that I would be talking about rigid inflatable hulls with Dale Winton I would probably have spat at you. As Jim Waterson points out ( Report, 16 January), “The BBC has already made substantial cost savings … the public should prepare for the BBC to provide less high-end drama and sports coverage … This could in turn erode support for the BBC if the public no longer feel they are receiving value for money from the licence fee.” There we have it: goodbye to the BBC.

It does take A LOT of energy to fake it, though. It really burns me out.. but, it's all I know and, of course, the money. Yes, I do meet people who I actually enjoy talking to and I have a few regulars who I just adore(even if they tip for shit, I just like that they enjoy my company). I also love taking the "difficult" customers that nobody likes to serve. I like being able to win them over(which I almost always succeed at..how? I have no idea). I think I like the challenge of having to figure out what they need to hear and how they think a waitress should act towards them. It's weird... I'm weird. I am a really good server. I've been working in restaurants for almost 20 years(FoH and BoH, kitchen manager and bartending). I have bad anxiety, I'm very socially awkward and am an introverted person when I'm outside of my comfort zone(being forced to be social). I also absolutely hate the public.
I explain about incidentals and assure her the room HAS been paid for. She starts digging for a card. Let me tell you something about the Titanic, people forget, people forget that on the Titanic's maiden voyage there were over 1000 miles of uneventful, very pleasurable cruising before it hit the iceberg! MFB: Well we should have just stayed at the other hotel! We really should have been told about the extra prices attached to this place. Avoid generalizing: If your hatred toward others focuses on a group of people, such as people of a certain race, region, or religion, your thinking is irrational because you are generalizing. You are lumping an entire group of people into one “bad” category and making assumptions about them based on a demographic characteristic. Introverted personality: While some people tend to be outgoing and gregarious, others prefer to keep to themselves. If you’re an introvert, socializing with people outside your immediate circle can be emotionally draining. Sometimes, this can lead to agitation and hatred of people and situations outside your comfort zone.So the “culture” secretary, Nadine Dorries, is freezing the BBC licence fee for two years, which will mean significant cuts before the service is eliminated. We could crowdfund a licence fee top-up for the next two years, in time for a new, properly cultured government to save our national broadcaster. Who’s in?
Practice empathy: Nuance and empathy are antidotes to irrational thoughts. It’s important to understand that no one is all good or all bad. Putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, while not always easy, can go a long way toward increasing empathy and reducing hate. Just as you have your reasons for your beliefs and behaviors, so do others. Okay, so you're on the second floor, elevator is around behind me, and breakfast will be over there from 6-10 in the morning."That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song. I can read you like a book, and not a very good book. Especially no Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNabb, which actually improves with every read. commenting on random clips of football/soccer matches in a build up to the upcoming 1994 FIFA World Cup): Shit! Did you see that!? He must have a foot like a traction engine. Striker! And that, was a gooooooal! The proof is in the pudding and in this case the pudding, is a football...
