On the bus today - grim, as always, but Xmas beers tonight - and I stood up to give my seat to an old lady.
Then a man in his 20s stood up and offered me his seat.
So a merry Xmas from all at the Pensioners’ Alliance.

“I’ve got a plan, boss: Let’s trash our brand, make the website virtually unusable, piss off all our readers - and then start charging them to read our (much reduced) offering.”
The Liverpool Echo has become the second Reach regional to launch a premium paywall, two weeks after the MEN.
Echo editor Maria Breslin said it "gives you the option to choose a cleaner and more streamlined experience while backing quality local journalism" www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

In this week's episode of Lee Marlow's Clown Car life, my boiler exploded, spraying water all over the landing carpet, leaking through the ceiling.
No heating and no hot water until Friday.
And naturally, the boiler is what the plumber described as "proper fucked, mate" and it's £2,500 for a new one

I quit Twitter a year ago because it was an industrial scale piss factory and I didn’t want to give Musk a single penny - but I’ve just read another thread on here that was so deliberately pretentious and awful it nearly made me vomit.

Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

Had to go to Volkswagen yesterday to fix a broken air vent pipe.
Vw: We need £115 to ID the problem.
Me: it’s there, look. You can see the pipe is broken.
Vw: No, we need our mechanic to do it. It’s £115. Then the part. Then the repair.
And this is why my local garage is now doing it.

Imagine GB News staging a debate on one of its shit talk shows called: Can we trust GB News?
It wouldn’t do it.
That’s (partly) the difference.
