The broad, sandy beach ought to be a bit of a clue.

This 6Music listener certainly does not give a fuck. It's tiny fraction of overall immigration, before we even get into the debate over the pros and cons of immigration. Which doesn't make the top ten of things I care about.

Chucked off the train at Newcastle because a tree blocks the line North to Berwick where I was supposed to be picked up. Don’t suppose anyone happens to be driving from Newcastle to Melrose and can give me a lift?

My family and I were watching TV and there was an anal sex scene. My Mum casually said they make it look surprisingly easy on TV, it really isn't that easy. I have been receiving therapy for this ever since.

This week I have built a WS2008R2 RDS deployment. Don't ask. I have (re)learned a load of new (old) skills that I will probably (hopefully) never need again. I may never get clean again.

Very wrong. Electricity and gas privatisation at least nominally made sense. They have a shared, independent distribution Infrastructure, making competition possible. Water is a natural monopoly and sold as a collection of monopolies. We got fleeced accordingly.

I trust (I do not) that Reform's new DOGE will not be following the American version's pattern of data theft. I do not consent to anyone as slippery as Aaron Banks being allowed anywise near my personal information.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

So who gets the Europa League place for winning this, then? We're in the CL, Betis qualified for it for their league position.

How dodgy is this referee? I reckon he's looking for a chance to send Palmer off.

"The products you love are tangibly worse. We're richer than ever, especially after all those layoffs. We're also building giant data centers that cost billions of dollars to force new and bad features into products you're already mad at, at the low cost of "the environment and every work of art."
