Don’t think much of the Amazon Black Friday sales. I ordered The Two Ronnies on DVD but instead I got four Kindles

They’re going to vote down the removal of the two child cap to appease the press, aren’t they.

Spoiler: it wasn’t.

Fuck it - stick Piroe on

Text reads, “On Friday, one driver told the BBC his firm would do up to 15 drop-offs daily from a hotel in south east London to a doctors surgery around two miles away. These journeys alone would cost the Home Office £1,000 a day, he said.”

Up to 15 2 mile journeys from the hotel to the GP

Saw the news article earlier that stated one company charged £1,000 for 15 two mile journeys. That’s £67 for a two mile trip - it’s not the passenger that’s the crook in that equation.

“Get out of my fucking seat.”

See also, cooking shows. Unless it’s a competition or from a narrow group of celebrity chefs there’s nothing.

One of my most niche complaints about the BBC is what they’ve done to BBC4. Used to feature interesting and informative programmes and now it’s repeats of Open All Hours.

we have to go back. to warn them.

To be fair, generally good advice

Quite surprised that the phrase “news to us” was in use in 1662

Great, now my ear worm for the day is the Birdseye Potato Waffles jingle

Could be an opportunity to explore a different way of playing.

Yeah, but the point is you need to seek it out. The slop that’s published in these papers is picked up and bellowed into people’s homes, workplaces and social feeds.

It’s a joke David. A callback to the campaign several years ago to get people to actually buy papers.

Buy a newspaper

Hadn’t clocked that it had been scheduled to come in prior to the next budget - thanks.

And always will

Doesn’t it just mean “The Publican”?

Aaronson / Piroe are what we have as 10s and they only get used when we're doing the "chuck everyone on and try to save a point" thing.

I think there's an element of risk associated with taking over a team in the relegation zone. Long term plans are probably a luxury to any manager willing to do that.

I’m not so sure - the best way for them to turn a profit is for us to be successful.

How would you feel if your car refused to change gear until you were 70% of the way to your destination?

It's been my strategy towards jumpers for the last 20 years.

Absolutely this. Don’t really bother with the cinema anymore because everything’s the thick end of three hours long. I’m not paying to miss a chunk of the film.

No other reason to eat them - the horrible, dry-meated arseholes.
