Channeling the spirit of Tommy from Early Doors
I was wondering how the Belfast part of the Spirit operation would be dealt with. Boeing will be leasing part of the site to Airbus.
I wonder how much they're charging and if it'll eventually lead to Airbus looking for a new site, whether in NI or not.

It's only been five years, but it's amazing how quickly we've forgotten that the people who really affect ours lives positively are medics, farmers, shop workers, etc, and not entrepreneurs, billionaires, etc

Nothing's simple is it. Trying to join the housing register as private renting is no longer affordable for me. I've already sent the council three bits of ID etc. They want more info which will amount to me having to send 18 more files before they'll consider my application.
Sigh.

Loads of brown patches appeared on my fingers overnight. Was gonna get them looked at until I realised they're the same colour as my vape juice and in the same places where I hold my puffer. I'm quite active when I'm asleep so I reckon I've been fiddling around. Again.

Absurd. Police attempt to arrest the Jewish daughter of a Holocaust survivor for holding a cardboard sign in opposition to genocide and the proscribing of Palestine Action… later de-arrested.

You can't make this up! Police arrested a Jewish Palestine Action supporter for 'terrorism'—then de-arrested her after forgetting the evidence

Saw a sign in Sainsbury's today saying they now have a quiet hour between 2 and 3pm with no music playing.
Love that, especially at this time of year.
I'll be taking advantage of it when I can.

Just updated the Skycards app. Went to Oklahoma randomly. Caught one plane and all the others disappeared.
Right now there are about six aircraft flying over the USA apparently.
Do they not test these things?

People should state exact times for when to arrive or meet. If you say come for 7:30/8:00 what does that mean? Just say come at 8:00. This makes it clear for everyone.

Jimmy Cliff has left us. I once went to Guildford festival just because he was appearing. It says a lot that he can get this old anarchist punk to go out of their way to see him perform.
Mary Rivers To Cross is one of my favourite tracks ever.

Just read a great comment on Youtube about Santa.
"He's clearly a class structure apologist as he brings the rich kids much nicer things and in greater quantities than the poor. He obviously believes in wealth based meritocracy and will not be safe from the revolution."

Palestine Action protests in NI conclude without police intervention
The PSNI stance in Belfast and Londonderry on Saturday contrasted with the Met Police in London where arrests were made at a similar protest.

Is there a difference between people who generalise based on year of birth and people who generalise based on star sign / month of birth?
All this 'generation' crap is just the new astrology.

Millennials aren't lazy, Boomers aren't selfish, Gen Z aren't snowflakes. Turns out every generation acts roughly the same at each age. Who knew?

I love it when gig promoters give you the doors open time, first artist starting time and last artist finishing time. Makes things so easy to plan. Many don't do it which leaves people like me in a bit of a pickle as I need to know this stuff.
Well done Undercover!
Now to research parking in Esher.
