Yet if he went on Facebook he'd see the abuse aimed at anyone with a different view and actual threats of violence aimed at those who have been brave enough to take them down because council won't.

Skew Bridge is a nightmare.
She's already been more proactive than Evans was in the 30 odd years he was there.

You can change the settings so it doesn't kiss your arse all the time.

I once got modded and suspended from the Guardian comments section for saying that about Theresa May.

I've been married for nearly 35 years to my wife who has a birthday on Christmas Day.
It took about 10 years to acclimatise and then when the kids were born it took another several years to buy mum something for both Christmas and birthday.

I know several people and relatives who have worked at Starbucks and it's basically paying for your own uniform, pushing a few buttons, memorising a few names and cleaning up after people for shit wages.

I feel for the councils where the Reform experiment is fucking up (I'm in one) but the shit show is hopefully for the good of the country when it comes to the GE.

Jungle There is something evolving here

Didn't they buy jungle.com and then balls that up?
That was very much like Amazon.
They once sent me a GameCube when I ordered some blank CDs.

"...there is new technology coming all the time and Reform's position is let's do this scientifically..."
You could say exactly the same about green energy.

I managed to go through school with little to no religious teaching and didn't step foot in a church for a service (a christening) until I was in my 20s.
I find them all really, really fucking weird and got by with talking animals in Aesops Fables thanks very much.

Oh it's a stupid idea/opinion but the old way used to work... come to think of it you could buy tickets at a venue that was local to you too. They must have been part of some network.
I doubt it would stop people who weren't really that interested but were buying just so they could say they'd been.

Record shops used to sell tickets.
As did bus stations where you got a ticket/coach combo.

A lot of old films/music etc are still lingering because of nostalgia - generally grown men eulogising about average fare like Goonies/Gremlins or wearing Michael J Fox trainers or a Raw Deal t-shirt or building Star Wars Lego or buying a Spectrum or listening to T'Pau or somesuch.

The higher up the ladder in business, the more psychopathic people are.
Any normal human being would take more time off the richer they got.
