Trump v Musk is undoubtably funny but let’s not forget the absolute havoc that they have created together. Millions and millions of dollars cut in foreign aid for a start. A country where people are terrified of being raided by ICE and deported. Shameful.

I agree. It’s taken years to get back to the Championship. Staying there is more important than a glamour tie in a cup we won’t win.

Serious question: Musk and Farage are not popular in this county, beyond a certain level. But Musk, especially, is getting loads of media coverage. Is the long game just keep the coverage coming and hope it turns into Reform votes?

Daniel Levy is watching the NFL half time show right now thinking hmm, we could do that if we don’t spend anything on the team.

My kids (8 and 6) also disagree. I might disown them.

Watched Home Alone and Home Alone 2 back to back at the cinema today. The original is vastly superior.

Have finished Day of the Jackal on Sky. It’s obvs not as good as the book or the original film and it has weird bits of plot all over the place but it was a fun watch. A solid 6.5 out of 10.

That’s handy, thank you for sharing James. I’m assuming an alumni forum would fall under the legislation?

Jeez, I think we’re identical apart from Howe. Stick Thatcher resigning in place. I was born 1981. The hurricane definitely the most vivid! Also Mercury - I was off school ill that day and lay in bed listening to the radio about it.

2024 Survey: Supporting the social sector We’re launching a survey to learn what skills the sector needs, the current ways training is accessed, and the barriers that might be holding you back.

Less than a week for you to fill in the School for Social Entrepreneurs training survey. We've hit a whopping 740 responses - can we get over 800?

It will take about 10 minutes; every completed survey will be entered into a draw to win a Β£100 John Lewis vouchers. www.the-sse.org/news/2024-so...

No single meal but best food I’ve had in Reading has been at Blue Collar, on several occasions. It’s fun, it’s interesting and it’s made by people who really care about what they are doing. Will be a shame when it’s gone. Was also impressed by a roast at the Shoulder of Mutton.
