On a more humdrum note, it's taken me multiple attempts on the chatbot merry-go-round to sort out returning the washing up bowl Amazon sent me instead of the laundry basket I ordered. Then they send me an email assuring me they are 'Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company.' Total crap all round.

Selling your holiday wardrobe on Vinted using photos of yourself wearing the items on said holiday. Horrendous, but apparently all the rage.

I removed a broken headphone jack from the socket using the inside of a biro and a microscopic bit of superglue, as per instructions from YouTube, and it is probably the greatest achievement of my life so far.

A lot of rich parents are very upset at the government for charging VAT on private school fees. Maybe they should instead ask why private schools have put up fees so far above inflation over the past 15 years. www.ft.com/content/852b...

Witness for the Prosecution is on. Dietrich's cockney accent up there with Van Dyke's. Remarkable.

My mother tells me that The Good Life Christmas Special has been taken off iPlayer and is now on ITVX Premium (for which one pays). This should be a national scandal

'There is, moreover, a gap between schools that sometimes seem to be run along almost Victorian lines, and our ever-increasing knowledge of the complexities of human psychology.' *All* schools deal in behaviourism (from age 4...), and it's damaging, quite simply. We know better & should do better.

Suspect we'll hear rather a lot less about this today than we did when it was was people protesting against catastrophic climate change, rather than the right to hang onto their multimillion pound inheritances

I regret to report that these are SOLD OUT in both Iceland and Tesco. The Iceland checkout lady also suggested they 'aren't like they used to be'. #endtimes

I'm bereft when WTF goes on holiday - she's back and now on here! Treat yourself to her comfortingly sane commentary and taking down of the rich and absurd.

Would read the hell out of something on how YouTube and Screwfix are doing over plumbers and other tradespeople (did the jobs myself, saved £190 - cost of living crisis, and all that).

Mina was the teenage idol of Italian rock n roll who was fast becoming a nationally-loved singing diva when she announced her scandalously illegitimate pregnancy in early 1963. Here's her story of defiance and survival in a rapidly changing modern Italy www.theneweuropean.co.uk/the-scandalo...

My Wicked review: Found it hard to get past 'Don't be offended by my frank analysis/ Think of it as personality dialysis', but the ending really does have the most galvanising, take-on-the-world energy since Bill Pullman said 'Nuke 'em' in Independence Day.
