Rishi Sunak on Jeremy Vine today, avoiding the questions on non-dom status and the frozen tax threshold. Weasel of a man, leading weasels in his party. Disgraceful bunch of self serving greedy pigs at the trough. If he's hoping the budget will deflect from the way the Tories have behaved towards the general population during their tenure, he's wrong. People won't forget it.

I loved this game, the sinister atmosphere, the haunting, post-apocalyptic feel about it. The excellent cut-scenes. I did think it would make a good film, sometime. I hope the transition to TV doesn't disappoint.

At the time of posting, 5 mins to midnight, 527 unpleasant, accusatory texts so far today and still typing. People say we should block her and yes, we've done that but, we need to know if she's done anything to harm herself or if there was to be a crisis and we know she'd tell us first. So we need to keep the avenue of communication open, as difficult as it is. Our lives are totally Groundhog Day but without the humour. It's real. And it's soul destroying and it's depressing. I don't know what it is that makes us so resilient but I can only think that it's acknowledging that she has MH issues and an overriding desire to be there for her. Without us, she has no-one. I know there's nothing any of you great peeps can do, but this is my venting place. Thanks for reading.

This is still unrelenting. At least 200-350 texts EVERY DAY for that last 3 weeks and still continuing as I post this, all with broadly the same content, accusing us of helping complete strangers (to us) and "friends" she's fallen out with over the years, to get access to her flat, to damage her stuff and mess with her mind. We have absolutely nowhere to turn to stop this. The police don't consider the messages to be malicious or threatening, although they could cause alarm and/or distress but because we have had face to face contact with her recently, they don't think we're at that point and therefore there's no actual offence being committed under the Telecommunications Act where they could take action. We just have to roll with it and not get too down about it and hope that something changes in her to get her back to somewhere that she can be more settled and less in daily strife and worry. It can't be nice for her, living with the constant belief that everyone is out to screw her up and ruin her life which ironically, she is doing for herself.

That'd be quite some gangbang

Can someone please stop the deluge of cookery/house and garden make-over/antiques/restoration/house buying both home and abroad etc. PLEASE!!!

I remember that. I was fairly new to FT and I was touched by your subsequent post/s on Rincey. (Not to be confused with Tincy who was completely different character. I found Rincewind's posts simple, but with a genuine concern for those downtrodden and unfortunate people he tried to support in his own way. He often got stick for his views but his principles were sound.

Spring Budget 2024: Fuel duty cut extended (fleetworld.co.uk) Just pointing out a fact. No political bias involved.

Is this to supplement lost revenue from tobacco sales, do you think? Scrap that. You answered the question as I was typing

Nothing new here.

Never thought I'd ever hear that last sentence after last season, but you're right

What are you watching on?

Back when jumping off the bridge was allowed.

I hate these kind of jokes.

Burbage isn't all pleasant and middle class. There's a large and sometimes nefarious area of Burbage that resembles some areas of New Parks and Braunstone, the Saff, etc. Not judging, BTW.

BOX, BOX, BOX!!!

Car wash sites? Chinese takeaways that are strictly cash only. Driveway tarmac/roofing/tree cutting/waste clearing "professionals" that are only contactable by a mobile number?

Occasionally a fitted kitchen. And the contestants were always in pairs. How do you split these kind of prizes?

I was talking to my hairdresser last week about the sudden increase in men's "traditional" barbers. Often 2 or 3 within 8 shops on the same street. She reckons it's a front for "other business". The number of barber shops on Narborough Road is ridiculous. Surely they can't all be profitable just from cutting hair for a fiver?

Ugh!

I live within 15 mins walk from it. I avoid it at all costs. Even though I'm retired, I'm never going to be a Morrison's shuffler. In the same way I'd never buy a Toyota Yaris, a Honda Jazz, a Hyundai i10, a Ford Focus in beige, or corduroy trousers, nylon shirts Hush Puppies shoes, slacks, brown socks, driving gloves, a beaded car seat cover...
