"Google recommends Revolution let's go there, I'm getting the first round."

Or worse

"Google recommends this achingly cool place. Let's go. Vodka redbulls all round I'm paying".

Nope day drinking Christmas parties are just fine.

It also significantly lowers the risk of the work Christmas party "let's find a nightclub" scenario.

Start at lunchtime on a train home by 8pm is a very viable option for a lash.

There is a fondness by many for the lord's stemming from a historical cultural attachment, which is a reasonable position. I'd be happy to keep the theatre, titles , black rod etc as a salve to that with proper democratic reform.

This is the worst, the gold scams and magic water are bad enough, but encouraging people to do anything other than see a GP with suspected prostate problems is so piss boiling.

Beanie Babies.

Adolescent Indenture technology.

Yes, a special energy ,like the electrons are bouncing about that much faster than other places.

I rarely see any of them in the wild on bluesky these days*

*Unless you mention transport funding.

It also varies by location. I lived in Manchester then London and hadn't needed it in years. Then I moved to a small town and it had a near monopoly on local events and goings on.

Facebook still is huge for the hyperlocal stuff. Say a Christmas market or outrage at a sensible planning application. It serves that broadcast niche that a local paper may have done previously.

The club will be a great demonstration of sunk cost fallacy. Assuming it's objectively rubbish, if you've sunk half a mil in you're going to try very hard to pretend you're having fun.

Looking forward to our primary school Christmas play super spreader performance tomorrow morning.

Interesting, I guess reform has already banked a lot of these? But for this group these defectors don't seem like a liability at all.

Where does their new vote come from.
Are they now after the Once a Torys' or the Never a Torys'?

I guess that's relevant to if this hurts them or helps them.

Yes.

"Oh your daughter won the race, you must be proud."

"Well not really she's a September birthday so she had an advantage so..."

Is not a conversation that happens. Doesn't mean the advantage isn't real of course.

Also acknowledging the privilege may be viewed as a caveat to the natural pride they have in their kids talent. Caveating your kids achievements isn't normal behaviour, and would be considered a bad characteristic in a non famous parent.

You are 'it's a sleeping injury' years old. Condolences.

Former Tory MPs being unable to find jobs was not a concern for me. However I'm now thinking we should find ego jobs for the worst of them, lest they try and re-enter politics.

Very true, perhaps this was even a cynical ploy by the organisers. 2 of the past 3 have been lionesses. Maybe a deliberate attempt to shake the can.

I agree. I think Hampton may actually win it by public vote though. No sure enough Ryder cup give a shitters out there.

Yes we do. The rise in prominence of women's sport has been great. I just looked and before 2021 no women have won outside athletics and royals jumping horses (x2!). Then we had 3 in a row. (Raducanu, Mead, Earps)

Coughs in David Beckham.

I quite like it. Anyone currently in the top eight would have secured qualification early in the old system. In the new one maybe 3 have secured top eight before the final games. And not many are 'out' before the end either.

Shrinkflation seems dumb for 'trying to present yourself as a mid-premium central London lunch place.'

Well heeled office workers with enormous choice will switch faster than anyone.

Greggs would not be dumb enough to slash the size of their sausage rolls.

Fair enough really , if you had the spaceflight technology to dump him on a distant planet the temptation would be overwhelming. Can't blame them at all.

Petition to make all future "if it was up to me I would simply.." memes to be made on a blank John Redwood tweet template.

The FT chooses memes/images for humour a lot. Everyone knew what was happening here.

The 2029 Reform battle bus is going to be wild.

Shame battle oxen would have been a game changer.
