I’ll take some.

Didn’t realise he’s so tiny.

If there’s one country you don’t prank robberies it’s surely the good old USA. 🫣

All sound ideas. 🤣

British Gas are a nightmare. Been trying to obtain a final bill (that shows our payments) since beginning of April. Two emails and two phone calls later we are still waiting. 😡

Let them fight, ‘a la Harry Hill.

How about this instead? Maybe don’t watch if you think this offends you.

I could sign or mime it to you. 🤣

He follows and admires Trump. That tells you everything you need to know about him.

Great character actor. Last of the Dirty Dozen to go, but will always be Oddball for me.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/11/renters-labour-no-fault-evictions-reform-housing?CMP=share_btn_url About 19% of UK households are in the PRS (private rental sector) and yet the major parties barely talk about it. The Greens and Lib Dems at least acknowledge its importance in the proposals that appear in their manifestos. As this article states building houses takes time and lots of people won’t be able to afford them anyway. There must be more protection for renters in this country, like there is in much of Europe and beyond.

I don’t think it’s so much that large parts of the population don’t realize, I think it is that many don’t actually care. My partner’s sister lives in a house in North London. She is married with two kids. Her husband is an accountant and earns a significantly above average age. His salary enables them to enjoy a good lifestyle. Now nothing wrong with that so far. However, she believes that if someone does not have a certain expensive item, say a Bugaboo pushchair ( £500-£1,000+) then “ they’re a loser”. I can’t get my head around that attitude, but it’s really not that uncommon.

My partner and I went to our local hustings last night. Probably couple of hundred or so people there, reflecting the demographics of the area ie white and 50 plus. Disappointing, but perhaps not so surprising to see such little representation of people under the age of 30. The Labour and Green Party candidates spoke very well, the Lib guy was quite stolid, the incumbent ( since 2005) Tory was slick and trotted out the not really our fault, it was covid and Putin mantra. The candidates from the Yorkshire and Reform party could have been two random middle age guys from the local pub, discussing what they had just read in the red tops, so not a lot of clarity on display. The Labour candidate seemed to be getting the biggest applause, although we did not stay until the end and missed the inevitable question on immigration. All in all quite predictable. However, highlight of the evening whilst driving to the venue was spotting a suited and booted Aiden Gillen crossing the road just in front of us! 🤩

I am struggling to think what they were. 🤔

I haven’t decided who I going to vote for yet, but certainly won’t be the tories.

I’ve noticed that too. If I want to put on my critic’s hat then the writing could be tighter, as one of the main characters has a homosexual relationship, when there was no hint of that in previous series. I love it though and will catch up on the remaining available episode tonight.

Yes watched the first two episodes. The blackest of black comedies, with some absolutely gross scenes, I just love it!

The sycophantic media when it reports on any royal story. I had to switch the news off yesterday, as they talked as though Kate is the only person to have received a cancer diagnosis.

Lovely guy, broke through with us as a teenager and had a decent career, particularly at Everton. 54 is no age.

🤮🤮🤮

Same here in East Yorkshire, where my constituency is in a Tory stronghold.

Brown backed the Legg report did he not?

Have not heard him recently, but yeah I thought he didn’t get his message across well enough.

We can agree to disagree then.

Oops though I was editing the one reply!
