Not only are we at record numbers of members and growing every day - this is our highest ever poll rating.

We're just getting started.

This is the politics of the 99% Vs the 1% for a country we can all afford to live in - plenty of room to grow.

Cold City Second Edition is out in PDF!
Let's take a look at the mechanics that power this RPG of espionage and betrayal against the backdrop of monster hunting in an alternate 1950s Berlin:

Cold City on a tablet in front of a blurred scene which appears to be somewhat horrific - an underground space with hints of blood? It's hard to tell.

The gatehouse at Bolton Percy dates back to the late 15th/early 16th century albeit with later alterations and restoration. Tucked away by the former Crown pub it once led to a courtyard with a medieval barn and rectory buildings. Photos © Gordon Hatton (cc-by-sa/2.0) Geograph

There's something very "Ford Prefect" about a process that arrives at "Harper Collins" as a sensible name for a pornbot

I haven’t been to a bar in years and I make up for that by stopping at every hot dog stand I see.

The first one I played was The Wargame by Charles Grant. Got it from the library after watching the Callan movie on telly!

The first one I bought was WRG 6th.

Star Trek Corrupted Captions @startrekcc.bsky.social · 21h

Made this last year, but I wasn't on Bluesky last year so as far as you know this is new!

Top panel: Dr. Bashir is standing in Sisko's office speaking. "I'm worried about Jake. He's been increasingly agitated lately, talking to himself, and I just found this PADD he's been writing his novel on."

Middle panel: We see a close-up of the PADD in Sisko's hands. The sentence "All work and no play makes Jake a dull boy" is repeated the entire way down the screen.

Bottom panel: Sisko looks up from the PADD. "Sisko to security! I want a team to room 237 of the Habitat Ring immediately."

Drama and English, joint honours. I’ll have my 30 years of staggering taxes back, please. Not sure what to do about the jobs created along the way

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow
