Just one of many problems with this ill thought out idea.

Also an English degree makes people very employable. There are so many English graduates working in marketing for a start.

Wait, new Barnaby has been the lead for over 10 years?

Tawny owl

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking β€œSo when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧡

Probably a bit of all 4 if I'm honest.

No. You only have to own 25% or more to legally have to be on Companies House as a person with significant control .

None of those answers fit. It's not ALL politicians, it's mostly those that have been in power, so Labour and Tories, and Libdems to a lesser extent (actually Reform too but I blame the media for overplatforming them). I don't blame independents, the new left wing party or the Greens for this mess.

Just realised this is the NEXT one, not the one I bought yesterday. Exciting!

Wow. Any excuse to push him as someone to put into power. He's obviously not in the running.

This is my issue (and I've got the same rule). I've now made a waiting list for my wishlist because over 100 in my wishlist seems ridiculous.

We have caulk here. It's the chalky stuff you use to bridge gaps between plaster board and things like door frames. You don't generally have to use it much in DIY as it doesn't wear out like silicone.

I have Dyspraxia rather than ADHD (although I'm increasingly wondering if I have both) and I'd say a lot of my early trauma was thanks to how teachers and other kids treated me because of undiagnosed Dyspraxia. (Also just an anecdote.)

The climate doesn't care how many renewables we have - only how little fossil fuels we burn.

@mikebernerslee.bsky.social explains why making things more efficient increases the amount we use.

It may be because I have COVID and my brain is not functioning as normal but I can't see where this is going to be on that page. I'm guessing probably not Scotland but I would LOVE to see this one!

Sick of Nigel Farage being featured on the BBC when the Greens and even the Lib Dems are ignored? Sign this.

As someone who is probably fast approaching perimenopause, I've been paying a lot of attention to the latest research and modern HRT. We need to talk about it more!

Funniest show we've seen so far (and we've already seen 20).

(1/2) We have been blown away by the public response to our initial DNA results. We’ve been delighted to be featured in a range of news outlets, radio programs & articles. A huge thanks to those who helped spread the word & have helped us put ME/CFS research into the public eye.

First show we saw out of 26 (unless we manage to squeeze in some more than we've already booked). Very funny show yet you also nearly had me in tears at one point too! Highly recommended.

Your pals are lucky. All the preview shows I've been too have been low numbers. Even Frisky (as in Frisky and Mannish) had a half empty venue (thoroughly recommend by the way). I noticed by the evening yesterday the number of tourists milling about had increased dramatically, so fingers crossed.
