If you can't tell dodgy jokes, rib your mates and generally indulge in a bit of near the knuckle banter, what will these miserable bastards come for next?

I would not be surprised at some time in the future to be refused buying a bottle of wine (or two). "I'm sorry, sir, you have exceeded your weekly allowed alcohol units".

Theyll probably do it spoons style and ignore you until you figure it out

I think, back in the day, Cornish rebels marched on London with the promise that Essex would join them.

Then Essex were like, "Nah, jog on geezers, we can't be arsed".

Didn't end well for the Cornish.

Now then, GCHQ, I'd just like to make it clear that I utterly condemn any form of such rebellion.

"Spoons"?

I agree Carpy. If you can’t push your friends buttons from time to time in fellowship and expect some backin return well why even have friends at that point. Perhaps that’s the goal social isolation.

In substance recovery we are taught how dangerous personal and social isolation is on our well being and how important healthy social connections.

Socially isolated people are more vulnerable and easier to control. Its how cults work too.
