Poor people will simple get jobs that pay more, according to Mel Stride.

I'm not sure why they don't do that already but that's why I'm not a serious politician.

Even the album you played on?

Having opened the post and jumped to the top of the thread, I was shocked. Made a bit more sense when I read down.

Social media needs to banned for adults.

Mostly. I do like that it's called Rye Lane and most of the locations are on Rye Lane, rather than just using the name and picking random places.

I think you fall into the quality problem. To ensure that the work is consistent quality costs a lot of money. And if you can't ensure that, then why will people use you?

Surely they're called Kieranz, otherwise they're missing an apostrophe?

From experience, they only grow for a short time, and then shrink again afterwards.

Cheap glasses = order online.

But I agree, I took my daughter to Specsavers and we had to queue about three times in slightly different parts of the store and it felt more designed than Disney.

My massive hobby horse is that people worry about state pension systems in the context of aging populations and don't think about exactly the same applies to private savings.

Pretty sure the fishing industry is much smaller than the yoga industry but has better press.

The odd one makes sense in a US context. But I'm with you on the reason being inaccurate.

And the blue group: really, is that all you could come up with?

And utterly screwed by the emergence of the internet and search engines.

Like my daughter, I'm a lapsed Swiftie. But interested in what the critics' view of the album is (not great, apparently)

I stayed because I was interested in the first segment about Taylor Swift. By the third I'd had enough.

As the owner of a victoria house on clay, I try to be blase about this sort of thing. BUT YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT.

The good news is that the government approved a line to do just that, in 2011. And they'll announce the route for it, soon.

Someone suggested a MG ZS. We went to a festival with one in the summer and squeezed enough stuff for 4 people in, but it was a squeeze. But I think not huge and camping sized boot may be incompatible.

That sort of Man on internet comment: get a roof box.

2023. And did a few episodes of Days of our Lives and a Coldplay video in 2024. And looks remarkably spritely.

Sorry, in what way is "smart Manc" not a buttoned-up Fred Perry?

The hell bit, maybe. That God gave his only son who died for our sins, pretty central. Plenty more twisting of Christianity that you can attack them for.

Didn't he say yesterday he was going to run again?

It's odd that being mayor of London seems to be a blocker, rather than mayor of somewhere real, like Manchester.
