Is it just me thinking this but the best way to get the Iranian people to converge and back their "government" despite how shitty it can be is by bombing the crap out of their country

I doubt any of this will lead to regime change but it will continue their feeling that the world is out to get them

There's a foot bridge in Manchester which has been closed for a couple of years now and the diversion is a pain

It joins two privately owned areas but it's never going to be repaired as there's no profit in it for the land owners

Out again networking for jobs

Last week I paid £7.50 for a beer in Manchester

Today's beer was a cheap £6.30 in a busy bar

I've now dropped in the fab cafe which is dead but £4.50 a pint

I can't stress this enough but the fab cafe is the best bar in Mancheste

They'll replicate all the data into a massive single off shore data lake and then get Copilot to write the code to tie it all together

Regardless of the outcome and time frames I can assure you that lots of people are going to make lots of money from it

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron.

10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.

Such a brilliant book

I got into him via the wasp factory which had a mind bending ending

Did you ever see the tv series of the CR? It was quite good but never got reshown and the available copies are very poor recordings

Hate to break it to you but the chances of a future prime minister coming from a state school in Leigh is virtually nill given our current political aristocracy and public school system.
