Yeah so someone once pitched to me that the NHS and the Police are the last services to enjoy widespread political support so each cut turned into an extra cost to the NHS and the Police who then needed higher budget necessitating more cuts to upstream services and this was kinda what happened

Do give blood if you're able to. It's straightforward to do, and the staff are lovely. You still get a drink and biscuit too, even if Clubs aren't what they were ...

I remember the woman at Innsbruck airport letting her young child play next to the baggage carousel, giving me SUCH A LOOK when I pointed out how I had had to pull contortions to avoid clouting her child about the head with my suitcase as I pulled it off the conveyor.

A WhatsApp conversation. One person has sent an advertisement for the Katharine of Aragon festival held in Peterborough every January. A portrait of Katharine is included. Her lips are pursed, she looks furious.
The sender has included the text βshe is fucking FEWMINβ
The responder has replied βwhy the fuck am I in this SHITTY ANGLICAN DUMP?β

I made a βhow do you do, fellow kids?β joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So βhow do you do, fellow kids?β is now an example of βhow do you do, fellow kids?β

Only just seen this! For future occurrences, I think he finds a hiding spot and hunkers down. Not great but he seems to have coping mechanisms.

Did you hear the one about the gay comic, the dual race actor, the black historian and the alpha male rugby player? They lied to each other in a game then just had a great big cuddle and became friends for life. #CelebrityTraitors

Seen people accusing Alan of crocodile tears but I do believe a dam broke in that final reveal. Yes, he's been having a blast but there's got to be something stressful beneath the surface (if not quite 'tearing him apart') #CelebrityTraitors

I thought Nick would know the game better than this. You don't end the game until there's two of you if there's even a WHIFF of suspicion and Nick has had doubts about Alan. #CelebrityTraitors

JESUS people one street over appear to have bought the loudest fireworks they could find. I'm literally jumping every time they go off - I opened the back door as one exploded and it set my heart pounding. WHY

I'm Parkin's staff π It's usual for there to be fireworks on the closest weekend as well, but unfortunately my neighbourhood is obsessed with fireworks and utterly thoughtless.

I like apples. I post photos. I dig birds. I write books. The next book is THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS, April 2025. Yes, I'm cringe. What do you want from me, I'm a 48-year-old dad and my brain is a mouse-eaten shoebox.
