Drove to the gym. 5min drive but past the station. One person just standing in the middle of the mini roundabout. Six people who stepped into the road in front of my car (drawn like moths to the light of the pub). One person puking. Delightful.

Wuthering Heights. Any time over about 30 it's a tale of a few adults trying to keep everyone fed and alive whilst vindictive sulky children twat about being dramatic

The ambulance gave me gas and air when I broke mine (open + closed fractures). Apparently I knocked myself out repeatedly. Then for the big straighten I got double ket. Happy to report 7 years later I have not descended to a life of addiction

Well yes, but also was a horrible twat to her ex husband, so it's a bit kettle/pot for me, and therefore also boring

As Emma says, Dubai is built and runs on slave labour and human rights abuses. I'm sorry if THAT was the geopolitics you thought you were ok with for the tax breaks

I see lots of pitches for November. Which is strong for weather, but you can lean in to naff early Christmas festivities and booze is encouraged

It's January for me. February is like the slow death of winter and the beginning of earlier mornings. Jan is just unremittingly grim

I live in Cheltenham. In a nuclear attack I go out before I even know its happened. I call that a result

I tap out about 1400 but I think that's because I read very, very fast. I suspect I could get through 14 and 13 if I sat down and read out loud. Beyond that not much hope

I bought my husband a valentines card that said "I love you more than cheese." He opened it and said "Welp that's not true is it"

6-in-1 was fine but MMR was overloading their systems. I am very smart and do my own research.

I was booking single jabs but covid stopped me. Oh, my child is 9 and so was 3 when covid started

And I say that as someone who thinks the changes are completely pointless without mass funding and reform of the tribunal system and some of them are actively daft. But hey ho

Labour was elected in May 1997 and the national minimum wage came in in April 1999

Many of the promises in this election were far more complex to implement. Doing that takes time.

Simplism and childish impatience don't make change

Employers have the same. What would once have been an argument between colleagues (he left a mouldy sandwich in the fridge) is now 80 pages of AI slop (systemic failures of governance and h&s giving rise to an entitlement to thousands of ยฃ of aggravated damages)

Mandelson not given in-depth vetting before appointment, says Foreign Office Letter to MPs says former US ambassador went through process only after his new role was announced to public

"However, there were also worries that his past links to the disgraced financier and convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein โ€œwould compromise himโ€."

I heard someone once say "you never lose your toothbrush". The key is to have one place and one place only somewhere lives. Doesn't work great with phones though

It was announced at the time that he'd failed vetting. We've known for ages that he was appointed against MI6 advice

Yeah, quite good for making lamps go on and off at random times when you're away, rather than to an observable pattern

I don't think they are the majority. But they aren't a fringe position either

I have family in both countries and a significant portion of the population make it a key part of their identity to hate England. Indie Ref was vicious for many English living in Scotland

It is your position which is unable to consider others. Women born in the 1950s are not some uniquely hard done by group. Spend the money on carers and ill health benefits - those who truly suffer. The idea that being a mum in the 1990s is some sort of special hard luck case is nonsense
