Summary:

The Intelligence Services Family Support Foundation was the organisation that worked to meet those needs for families across the services, and its annual fundraiser was only two weeks away. The reception cum talent show was an odd but popular event that brought in a lot of money.

At 500 quid just to get in the door, patrons of the foundation enjoyed an evening of drinks and hearty nibbles before enjoying the talents of intelligence officers and support personnel throughout the services. The evening was capped off with a silent auction for donated swag, the bidding on which could sometimes go into the thousands of pounds.

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

It’s sort of hard to think of specific dishes that are quintessentially English or Australian. I mean, I’m mad about sausage rolls and they’re very common in both countries? :D In terms of Indigenous Australian food, I have had maku (witchetty grubs), bush onions and bush tomatoes, but just by themselves, not as part of a dish. I really liked maku. I ate it cooked and it was very buttery.

7.three words from your native language that you like the most?

Fuck, defenestration and petrichor. (I’m not from the US, but I speak English as my first language.)

Well, it would certaily be interesting (more than the Harry-is-a-copy-of-his-dad-including-patronus). Given that Harry was saved by his mother’s love, it manifesting as his protector would’ve been fitting, one more way in which she’d be there for him. Along with Snape’s patronus, that would be two manifestations of Lily’s impact in history, how she ultimately saved them from Voldemort through the love she had for her son and the love she once had for Snape. 

I think Snape’s denial would suffer greatly in this scenario. He had this image of Harry even before he met him, and then he goes and has the same patronus as his dad as yet another sign he’s right, the boy truly is a copy of his father and he’s justified in disliking him. If he had a doe patronus it would be a very rude wake up call, that inside he’s not like his father at all.

The one I hate most? ‘Lol the Irish are all drunks’ wins by a long shot. Especially if it’s coming from someone with an english accent. Like hey, maybe if our nearest neighbours had stopped invading, colonising and brutalising the population for five fuckin’ minutes in the last 800 years maybe we wouldn’t have generational trauma and an higher tendency to self medicate.

The one I kind of agree with? We do like to talk and chat and talk and chat some more and ah go on have a cup of tea . . .

Frankly same hat (I also look at canditates policies before chosing)that being said what you need to understand is that basically an election campaign is a charm offensive and people are more likely to vote for someone they either can relate too or like. That's why a guy like Boris Johnson who is an upper class twit still managed to gain a lot of votes from the working class, it's because he plays on his image to make himself more approchable.

Since it's a huge factor though, it can have consequence later when a candidate isn't liked, a bit like what happened with Corbyn, (he did make other mistakes) but the fact is he isn't very charismatic or seem down to earth and so a lot of people don't like him, that's why a lot of people in Labour were pissed at him that he didn't step down because quite frankly a lot of people probably didn't vote for Labour simply because they didn't like him.

I don't know if what I said make sense to you, if you want to discuss it more you can message me ?

Okay, I should probably clarify, I understand why most people do this.

They just watch TV and that’s their entire exposure to political candidates.

I’m talking about people who I know have the time/energy to put into further research and choose not to.

I don’t understand that.

It’s political irresponsibility.

And I can understand that it exists, and still be mad that it makes no sense and NTs are literally running shit into the ground.

Like, I campaigned on the ground for Corbyn, I know exactly what people said about him.

Ponyo is a religious experience, let’s be honest; it feels like being born and baptized anew every time you watch it
