I can live with reduced bin collections, dropping from fortnightly to three-weekly or having to separate recyclables into a dozen different kerbside boxes. But I cannot think of anything worse or counter initiative than having to book to go to the tip www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Booking system to launch at North Somerset recycling centres

@tallstorygames.bsky.social how’s cat in space coming along? Can’t believe it’s almost been a year since my daughter played your demo at Bristol Video Games Expo. She still plays it regularly and sings along.

Plot twist: turns out 2 of those seats are reserved in Screen 7 for every screening of any film at that cinema for as far as I can look forward implying that there might be an issue with them rather than genuine tickets sold. So actually it could just be 1 ticket sold for the Melania premiere!

Update: A third ticket has been sold today for the premiere screening of Melania at my local Odeon. For some reason, they have opted to sit next to someone who was previously sat alone.

There are two seats sold for the #Melania evening screening at my local Odeon... And they aren’t even sat together.

What if Trump only wants Greenland because someone told him they had a Nuuk less than 2000 miles from the coast of the United States? ☢️

2 for 1… that’s the art of the deal.
Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

This Chagos deal right… IMO it seems like a silly idea to give up the rights but whatever. Conservatives proposed it. Labour carried it on. Trump initially backed Starmer. But now he says it’s a stupid idea & the same conservatives who started the process now also “agree” with him. I can’t follow 😩

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

I need to become less online because you shouldn’t find out about an illegal invasion because someone posted that it wasn’t very FIFA Global Peace Prizey of Trump to do that.
