Yeah, but the rink at Oxpens isn't really the most appealing place for a date!

Noise cancelling headphones. You don't need to play anything on them, just switch the NC on to mask the flight noise around you.

That's the field at work. I see this every day walking from the main building over to my EMC lab 😎 Not fun when it's raining & blowing a gale, though!

I'm saving that to watch when I get home from work this evening. So glad to have John back.

I had c. 5 days with little social media bar posting some photos on Instagram. Went to Bristol for two gigs (Weds & Thurs), back home Fri, then off to the rugby in Twickenham on Saturday. Sunday was just chilling.

She, like quite a few across the political spectrum have fallen in thrall of the "Legend of Technology/TechBros solving everything with a fancy new bit of tech". Four years ago it was all "Blockchain will solve it!" Now it's "AI/Move Fast & Break things! will solve it!"

I hope you managed to quote the Great Tony Hancock (as written the the equally as great Galton & Simpson) in the Jury room 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ4m...

Bezos will now consider his "donation" to Trump a success, seeing how he was hemorrhaging shoppers to offshore low-value outlets like Temu...

The reason I know this is I work for an Electronics company & I deal with Compliance & Safety testing. Everything's done to International standards & the idea that Cos would design something specifically for the UK is for the birds.

Just had a look at that users feed, and the whole thing is full of QAnon (or adjacent) conspiracy theory stuff. If Bridgen has actually said this in video to this guy, he's gone completely nuts.

Yes Minister (and Yes Prime Minister) have a scene pretty much covering everything. I watched it as a teen when it was on originally & still re-watch it now. Could have been written this year.

Took me 4 attempts, but I had a similar first row to you. Is your default starting word STARE, by any chance?

As far as I can tell, it's their way of "keeping score". To them it's just a game to see who can accumulate the most. They're completely divorced from normal people's reality of deciding when or if to buy something. A new mansion is a rounding error in their finances. It's disgusting.

Sadly I think she's going to use this as an attempt to outflank Reform to the right by saying "we" must leave the ECHR, align more with US on standards, healthcare, etc. She'll say Brexit should've been done "harder".

I have a feeling it's actually her positioning to say we didn't go far enough, & we have to leave ECHR, embrace US levels & standards, healthcare etc. She's trying to outflank Reform.

For me it's when the wind-chill makes a big difference as to if it's a bitter cold.
