Have you tried the newly renovated Trevor Arms yet? Definitely worth a visit if in Glynde. They've done an amazing job 😍 and have a Beak tap take over for the festival (was in there myself yesterday)

Wish I hadn't devoured both series so quick and savoured it a bit more. Some of the lines are absolute killers aren't they. So good

I say that to my daughter all the time, how lucky we are now in this regard. I went veggie in '93. Used to involve various trips to Holland and Barrett (remember Sosmix??)
If I went to pub/restaurant, I'd usually just have a bowl of chips πŸ˜„
Choice now is incredible πŸ₯³

β€œThey Actually Had a List”: ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark Labor Rights Case β€œWe are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a UFW official about an ICE raid in New York.

On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody

Those workersβ€”and their employerβ€”happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

Belle and Sebastian Sing of Middle Age You can’t be an alienated semi-adult forever.

I've found that turning 40 is just an endless series of those sorts of terrifying realisations. Your post reminded me of this quite lovely article from a few years ago about B&S aging

Yes they haven't been advertising it very well at all! Ok, will pass that info to branch treasurer. Thanks so much for coming back to me and for your help :)

Do you mind saying where you got that from? Is there an official link to a website with it on? Just a bit wary of scams :/

When I was a kid, Puffin Books were the children’s imprint of Penguin Books (still are) and so for an embarrassingly long time, I thought puffins were baby penguins.

As the article (in thread) says, outsize SUVs cost the public purse more in terms of strain on the infrastructure & pollution, and are far more dangerous for pedestrians & cyclists. Yes, we should tax them and their usage heavily. Why on Earth should the rest of us subsidise this obnoxious trend?

Totally agree with the post below. This monster parks on *the pavement* by me on the school run every day. We live in a city centre. So unnecessary, so dangerous. Should be banned imho

Is this why everyone kept saying bad things should "get in the sea" around this time? Or was that a twee twitter thing

Me, a little bit! (I do industrial relations). I'm looking at equality activism in local authorities. This book is good amzn.eu/d/gWRxx6I and there is quite a lot in other bits e.g. amzn.eu/d/5daEJO7 but hardly anything contemporary
