I can confirm astrology is rubbish..

I am a Scorpio with a 6 as the first digit of my age, and I have NOT died of venereal disease, or been stabbed by a jealous lover or their partner*

So much for all the predictions...

If only.. there's barely enough to share with me! :) I'm afraid the diet will have to go on hold for the weekend...

Tide up, stumps of the old bridge hidden. I must go down there to see the sandbanks and seals again.

Dear NHS,

Further to your recent letter, I greatly admire and support introducing bowel cancer screening for men over 50.

Sadly, the sample tube you provided was inadequate. If you could kindly wash and return the enclosed tupperware when you've finished with the sample, I would be most grateful.

One of the officers serving in the UK Parachute Regiment in WW2 was Pine-Coffin, have to assume same man/family.

Anyone involved in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum knows the answer. Yes, you have to commit to joining the Euro, but there's no timetable or any means to make you do it. So you can commit but never adopt it. And Schengen would be more convenient than even the old EU scheme.
Bring it on..

About to go to my desk after two weeks sick... and find out if my team was disbanded last week. What really burns is I moved heaven and earth to get one of my guys not to leave less than two weeks ago, he declined a job offer, and now... Life coming pretty hard right now.

you're a British Nationalist Duncan. And the SNP aren't the ones saying immigration is bad. Or supporting Brexit. Labour are dividing people.

Sensible Archie @sensiblearchie.bsky.social · 17d

Oh dear, this old chestnut again. But of course Duncan isn't a Nationalist, and has no problem with the current Labour flag-shagging and exceptionalism.

And as it becomes more and more necessary as a digital key.. buying alcohol, watching porn, buying online or with your phone, receiving benefits, accessing health care. And Palantir and the government will have it all.

I do feel sorry for the decent folk left at the BBC, but honestly, they've outsourced all their production anyway.

They are a brilliant exemplar of the adage that the fish rots from the head down....

I often find Bella Caledonia a bit 'strident student socialist splitters', too much ideological purity.

But I can't fault this...

Imagine all the People, Labour in Liverpool

Imagine a Labour Party that sets legislation so that over 100 people are arrested (including an 83-year-old) for protesting genocide and ethnic cleansing outside their own conference. As members tr…

The English language was an Old Germanic language. From which both modern English and Scots are derived.

My block thumb is getting a workout today. Folk claiming PA are using weapons, Labourites asking us to deny the evidence of our own eyes in relation to their actual Reform-Lite rhetoric.

Shame, the Escort mk 2 i had in Oz handled really well. Only the 2 litre SOHC though.
