OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Lost/left my phone on the tube the other day at embankment stn. A young Romanian man found it, hit the call the owner button on the lock screen and arranged to meet my wife whose number it called..
She tried to give him £50 but he refused to take it. Faith in humanity partially restored. 🙂

Taking an alternative break from playing @thelongdark.bsky.social and ripping up the carpets prior to sanding, oiling and painting after being quoted silly money to re-carpet.
Hope it's worth the effort.

“When you’re raped there is shame, and it’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them. It’s true that I hear lots of women, and men, who say you’re very brave. I say it’s not bravery, it’s a will and determination to change society”

“How will an ambulance get through?”
A question only asked of those trying to save our planet, not millionaire landowners trying to hoard wealth.
Farmers received record support in the budget. Pay what is still less than your fair share, take your tractors and piss off.
