Welcome to Valhall

AND TONNES OF THEM ARE MINCÉIRS!!!!! PRIDE FOR OUR SIBLINGS ON THE TOBER!!!!

AND TONNES OF THEM ARE (turns around and translates: Irish, an lucht siúil ("the walking people"), also known by outsiders, more frequently in the USA, as Irish Travellers; often written down in UK/IRE as the Pavee; indigenous travelling people of the British Isles, NOT ROMANI, part of the ethnic Travelling community - need not be actively travelling to identify) MINCÉIRS. WHO also form a huge number of the exercise riders and grooms of Ireland and the UK, operating under harsh and poorly paid working conditions. Remember that jockeys are athletes who are classified around the world as freelance agricultural workers, whose phenomenal horse skills and willingness to risk their lives do not negate a four-hundred-year-long history of invisibility; snatched up by rich owners for being small and horse-gifted; occasionally winning great glory. And remember the grooms and exercise riders and stable staff - referred to as Lads and sometimes as Lasses or perhaps Stable People - upon whose strength a multibillionpound Sport of Royalty and Billionaires is built. It is VERY common for them to be marginalised by ethnicity as well.

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

One of the benefits of watching psych (2006) is that in most shows with a weird protagonist you find yourself asking why are you like this but in psych you don't do that because you just saw. You just saw 10 minutes ago at the start of the episode when Henry was putting him in a trunk

This is a literal job in Tour de France. They're called Soigneurs (or Swannys) and they do everything from prepping, helping with anything and everything like a personal valet from dawn til dusk, and of course handing food to their bikers.
