Never been, however I have heard that the windy city is mighty pretty

Same here for my wife, we didn't get the vaccine and she's just had 4 days off work, £900 of NHS antivirals and is still unwell. Once recovered we'll just have to get it privately, the impact on our family is too great

I once worked on a bid we all wanted the company to win while praying we'd never have to work on it.

Absolutely, my wife is asthmatic (no NHS shot as too young), got COVID and ended up off work for 4 days and having £900 worth of NHS antivirals. I got COVID and that's £6000 lost income to the company, makes no sense

I'm looking forward to the 'based on your consumption we think the DD needs to increase' email. A more honest email might be 'your consumption was reduced but we're going to charge you more anyway because we can'

I'm tempted but decided to build my own

And presumably the other half don't want her to lead the party into November

My family came over around 1066, please can she arrange for an EU passport so we can return, we've tried this place but on balance it's a bit odd and the wine is expensive

Is it true that that building is so aligned that the sun streams all the way through on one day per year (30th December of course)

I have serious reservations about digital ID, perhaps in a liberal democracy it may be okay, but any safeguards around identity and orientation won't last a minute under a populist government. There is a risk that Labour create the tools of persecution without the bearer even knowing about it

You just fancy Bazelgette, it's the top hat isn't it?

My child has just informed me (and sent a video to prove) that 'empty chairs' from Les Miserables can be sung to the Muppets theme music.

The library is an excellent idea, however SEN provision needs to be part of that strategy as former libraries in primary schools have been modified to produce break out and sensory rooms for SEN children. There simply isn't the capacity or space required

You need to work with that Yorkshire bunch and develop a scone flavour tea

I agree, a decent and moderate Tory party who were well organised with a strong right of centre message could attract voters back, I just can't see it happening under the current or next leadership

Nice but you forgot the awesomeness that is Booth's Black coffee (still a supermarket albeit a small one)

Pretty certain the military have their own courts, how does he feel about them?

We need to start counter rumours so Reform spend time defending themselves. Such as "Reform will tax any household who have solar panels and ban double glazing"
