Can anyone recommend a good book on drafting patterns to fit? I'd like to do it for myself and also for the jumper I've promised my daughter. Thanks

And 'etc' (et cetera -and the rest) not 'ect' (which could be lots of things, including electro convulsive therapy).

You'd definitely need to employ a cleaner - look at all those ridges and crevices on the kitchen doors, panelling, panelled doors etc. Absolutely nightmare!! We are doing our house up and eliminating ridges as much as possible - they are dust and dirt traps 🧹

The 25% is corporation tax paid on the taxable profits of the company. Any money Farage receives from the company will either be taxed as paye or a dividend. So overall there will be a bit more than 25% but not the 40% + both types of NI that would be due if he was paye for the relevant roles.

Also now it's just us 2 retired folk we don't need as much food. I have a veg box delivered and really only need a big online shop once every month or two. Weekly I wouldn't make the minimum spend. I get heavy stuff delivered and then every few days walk to the shops for bread, meat, teabags etc.

But someone did get OXO, which was a version we played as kids.

If I had the years of airtime he's had, and had a message people would like to believe in, then why not?

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.

Not defending BBC but Farage & his views are all over social media. We hear young people don't watch TV & people are not paying their licences/watching BBC. Even if the BBC never mentioned him again he wouldn't go away peacefully. The opposition to him & his views needs to be louder & everywhere.

Ask yourself why that might be? Possibly because the media have shown Farage over and over appealing to people's base instincts. It might be that people believe immigrants take their houses or whatever but responsible media and politicians need to counter that with facts, not go along with it.

This is such a disgraceful use of water and energy. AI is a huge consumer of both. You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself and delete this awful "thing" ASAP. Hopefully it never catches on.

Yes, if done correctly. But I wouldn't hold my breath for that.

More public spending, particularly on fraud. More anti immigrant feeling. More scams.

We're beginning to realise, often too late, the damage wrought by all sorts of tech. Maybe not rushing into using AI & considering it with a thorough cost/benefit analysis would help us all. How many people using GPT realise the resources it uses & how that might be detrimental in the long run?

#Fracking, let's start with some basic facts. There is a global gas market. It would not be "cheap gas".

Aside from the fact of it costing the Earth

Britain is about to start fighting over fracking again
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK think there’s hundreds of billions of pounds worth of shale gas ripe for exploiting. But are they ready for the fracking backlash?

Came here to say that too. Might the other one be Frank Bough?
