As a big Shipp fan who has never been on Facebook, I'm now suitably intrigued...

Be thankful that you are not a civil servant. We get bloody work emails telling us that we are probably feeling blue and ways not to feel so blue in the workplace.

Mea culpa

Because changes to SBR had to be cost neutral to the Treasury, actively arguing for a *reduction in Duty relief for very small brewers* was at the forefront of their campaign. And this when their profits were ~£2m! Proper I'm-Alright-Jack cunty behaviour, alas.

Yes. They campaigned for the smaller breweries to pay more tax so that they themselves could pay less.

Love their beer & always find the staff in the Lewes shop very friendly & knowledgeable, but as a company Harvey's really didn't cover themselves in glory a couple of years back in their spiteful positioning over SBR.

I have long maintained that First Blood is a crimbo movie on this basis. And a Western. It's a crimbo Western.

Yh best bit was Buriton to Steyning, gorgeous scenery and not super busy. Did the Vanguard Way and the North Downs Way the last two summers, gonna try the Wealdway next year (knee permitting).

I wish! Did most of it in stages over the summer. Only did 3 days/50 miles continuous walking.

Kant emphasises respecting others’ autonomy; lecturing them about their personal preferences seems at odds with that to me. I take a more consequentialist view: the outcome—utility through subjective connection to the material—matters more than the medium. Happy to leave it here.

I sometimes guide my children on what they should do, but I’d never presume to impose such advice on another adult—especially on matters of personal preference, not morality.

I'm really sorry, that's a massive thing to process even if you were expecting it. She radiates warmth in those photos.

fwiw on a purely technical level, I don't disagree that one 'reads' a book and 'listens' to an audiobook. they're different ways of engaging with & experiencing a text. but it's horses for courses & not something to be haughty or upbraiding about. value judgements about how one 'should' read are 🤢

1. People 'should' consume literature however they want.
2. People 'should' read if they can, since it's better.
These sentiments feel somewhat in tension.
