Worked in TV for over 40 years. Full time dog walker for my boy Baloo. Head chef for my wife. Still trying to work out the answer to, “Life, the Universe and Everything.” I know it’s 42 but the complexities of planet earth call that into question.

I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

Misleading headline.

It was a comment by the defence, not anyone else. As a former employee of the BBC I despair at the direction BBC News (as opposed to the rest of the BBC) is taking these days. - Tommy Robinson police stop unlawful, court hears

Tommy Robinson police stop at Channel Tunnel unlawful, court hears

The far-right activist was charged under the Terrorism Act over an incident at the Channel Tunnel in July 2024.

If A level English was a requirement across the board it would be a very sparsely populated country in which we live. I didn’t even do A or O level English as you can probably tell from the first sentence.

Finally managed to fill out the online form the solicitors sent me.
Inconvenience for me because a very wealthy company has failed to pay my insurer’s for damage to my car. I don’t care that it’s a sub contractor it has their name on the side of their vans!!!

Pain in the butt!!!!
I’ve now got to fill out some legal documents because a certain delivery company hasn’t coughed up the money to repair my car. My insurer has appointed solicitors because a very wealthy company hasn’t paid them, or rather the sub contractor who runs the vans hasn’t.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

It was a long time ago now but I’m conscious of it whenever I buy a book. The man was lovely and ran a proper book shop and was always helpful and knowledgeable.

Always saddens me when I see an independent bookshop and remembering the one we had here. The big ones moved into town and it couldn’t compete. The owner closed it down. He couldn’t compete but it was his life, a while later he took his own life.
