I’ve been on a train twice in two weeks. I also have cold. I feel these two facts might not be entirely unrelated.

Someone else that is new to me. Wary of praising politicians I don’t know but bravo girl for the getting elected bit!!

Having a major attraction in close proximity can affect house prices, in most cases increasing them, like is the case with Chester Zoo

My ex- neighbour had a sticker that said “Sadiq Khan is not my mayor “. And he was right because we lived in Kent.

Isn’t it a bootscraper?

Fine. Be a bloke and assume the Police are on your side. Maybe you’ll get through life without finding the opposite.

Victoria Barlow @vickybarlow.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah ok.

Being a paedophile isn’t in the dna of those jobs. Being an alpha type personality is in the police. It goes with a belief in unquestioning adherence to law.

Say what you want but I can acknowledge for some in my industry that is true. Still, there haven’t been studies showing that museum professionals tend to be aloof, cynical and tend towards right wing politics.

He made his own choice regardless of voting. He’s not a victim of circumstance.

Oh really. A bunch of Amnesty International members were they? What about the ones suspended for supporting far right groups or do you just think they’re legitimate concerns?

Bless you.

No. You can see I didn’t say that. I’m saying the Police attracts people with authoritarian tendencies rather than liberals.

He chose that job. He could have done something less compromised. People who join the Police are hardly likely to support the protesters.

Landlords! Stop ripping out baths. Showers are for psychopaths. If I can afford your exorbitant rent, I can afford to run hot water. (This post brought to you by Why Am I Not A Millionaire?)

Ahhh no. The guinea pig days are over for now. Although the cat wasn’t allowed in their room, I couldn’t live with the fear so when the last one went, I decided to have a break. They are wonderful pets but I like not finding hay everywhere!

Victoria Barlow @vickybarlow.bsky.social · 5d

Well I won’t have any pets when I sign the lease because the cat is at my brother’s currently so it’s almost true!

Victoria Barlow @vickybarlow.bsky.social · 5d

I’m still mystified as how either of those options isn’t going to make jaws drop!

Victoria Barlow @vickybarlow.bsky.social · 5d

Thanks Paul. That’s really helpful. I’m a terrible liar so wasn’t looking forward to being found out!

People who currently rent- all the adverts I’ve seen say no pets (even the one with feeding bowls and a cat tree in the photo). If you have pets, did you ask nicely or just forget to mention it when you took the lease?
