Wow @tottenhamhotspur.com disability ticketing for events is just awful.

Can't get a companion ticket - not disabled enough (blue badge holder). Can't get an access ticket - sold out. Can't get disabled parking (needed because we don't have an access ticket) because we don't have an access ticket!

My poorly dog had to have his dewclaw trimmed again as it's been digging in. It would really cheer him up if people could complete the research survey my daughter put out there into pet / people relationships. Link in the post below.

50/50 flour and weetabix, mixed with butter and sugar for the topping. Makes it even better to eat with cream later on.

An Express poll needs more input. You know what to do...

If you care about the future of the NHS & you see this on Boxing Day, please could you share this?

If we want privatisation to be removed from the NHS, NHS campaigners like me have a *lot* of work to do next year and…I’d just like to see if people care enough about this for our campaigning to work…

I got "shushed" in the cinema for laughing out loud at bits, particularly where she's standing on the cliff top and he comes to save her.

Ludicrous film.

@bylinetimes.bsky.social FYI links to the share offer aren't working in the last email from @peterjukes.bsky.social - no link in the email and if you view it online it just redirects to the same content

There's some really good advice at payontime.co.uk about how to calculate that you're owed and how to chase it down.

It's always been easier to tell people that things were better off in the past than they could be in the future (what have the Romans ever done for us?). The notable exceptions I can think of are Obama and Blair.

If it doesn't help the media barons and tech bros, it won't happen.

Because it's easier to hark back to the halcyon days (that never existed) than describe a utopian future that might never exist.

Plus the press and certain other media / social media find that fear sells much better than optimism about how good things could be.

Not saying that's right though.

We know my wife's grandfather was Irish but know nothing else about him - a sailor who met her grandmother and disappeared when she was pregnant.

So we know that she's eligible for Irish citizenship but have no way to do it 😭
