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

We3: Home Is Run No More Every now and then, I read a tragic story that breaks my heart, but no comic-book adventure has ever broken me so relentlessly as We3. A friend who isn’t really into comic books got into Grant Morr…

Much as I like seeing updates from the world of @parkinkatt.bsky.social I can never fully shake off the nagging feeling/worry that it is all going to go a bit WE3 marswillsendnomore.wordpress.com/2021/04/18/w...

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 ...

Staff in Specsavers today were wearing similar. Hopefully RBL has done some weird corporate deal where they offer discounted rates on a special thing?

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 β€œshe is fucking FEWMIN”
The responder has replied β€œwhy the fuck am I in this SHITTY ANGLICAN DUMP?”

I made a β€œhow do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.

So β€œhow do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of β€œhow do you do, fellow kids?”

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

WTF

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

It's not even that Alan played a blinder, it's that everyone got Into their own heads.

FFS, Celebrity Traitors is on and neighbours one street the OTHER way decide to set off a barrage of fireworks. Go inside and watch telly.

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 πŸ˜„ 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.
