It’s a little sad when people take their own photo and morph it to some fantasy. I think that’s going to lead to a lot of body dysmorphia as the image is impossible to turn into reality and the desire to look like it will be overwhelming.

Flew in to Gdansk from Germany and it was like stepping through the wardrobe and finding the winter witch still running the show. Never seen frozen rivers in real life. The streets are iced over too. So cold!

The logical first response from Europe would be to picket all USA bases on their territory. No deliveries in or out by land all power and water connections disconnected. The USA would have to supply their bases by air.

I enjoyed the previews on your patreon site. I did not see a link to buy the audio book, is that still to cum?

You got a mention on dead ringers as an example of the BBC on its knees to the right.

I can agree that Lidl has a good cheddar in their regular range, Aldi has Irish cheddar but the quality can range randomly between mild and mature. Stilton is completely missing this year I have not seen it in any shops or markets. I’m in Leverkusen. And yes it’s got worse since Brexit

Speaking as a 70’s child, my reaction to my lovely air fryer was why is it called a fryer it’s an easy bake oven!

Loved PSUK under the Tories and during the election but having to step away from all news analyses as constant Trump and UKIP depressed me to much

I took bags of old clothing to the recycling yesterday, I still have several bags of good clothes to go to a homeless charity. But it struck me that the load to recycling was the same as when I first moved flats in London in my 20’s.

They always over focus on what a woman “should “ look like and forget totally that trans men exist

Trigger warning.

The last few months the thoughts of self harm and just ending it all have been very strong.

The strange thing is there is no reason. Work is good home life is good but still the thoughts are strong.

I am not going to action the thoughts but it’s hard.

The Wolfenden Report is published in the UK. It recommends that homosexual acts between consenting adults should not be illegal.
It said there ‘must remain a realm of private morality and immorality which is, in brief and crude terms, not the law's business.'
