Not heard of many things to celebrate in the last 24 hours, but my son’s best friend has passed his driving test. Another teenager with a life skill.

This any good?

The main reason for using Amazon for me is the availability of products is not necessarily seasonal.

I’d quite happily not hear about AI for a while too.

The posters/adverts of bible verses on the back of the buses here takes some getting used to for a blow-in like me.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

I won’t be gloating if we win.

You wait until you hear about who hates who in Northern Ireland.

Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet…

It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

One of the worst things to happen to society in the last 30 years has been the normalisation of gambling. We should go back to there being no advertising of it on TV and the shops having opaque windows, making it look like the seedy pastime that it is. anon_opin GOLD from 11th December 2023

Don’t be fooled if you’re voting for the Green Party the second from top is not the actual Green Party they are a front for a right wing group in Scotland, don’t get caught out.

He would probably accept the award too.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

I only ever leave a positive review providing they deserve it. If you have an issue try telling the people at the time. You’d be surprised at how quickly some issues can be resolved if given the chance.

Mebbie they could do something radical like.. I donno.. recoup the covid corruption money, stop paying capita assessors aprox £36,000 a year to lie about claimants, tax the rich, renationalise public services, offer UBI to disabled folk, stop funding AI to take people's jobs. Just a thought.

Cunts.

Today on Bluesky.

This is wonderful news. The UK has officially signed up to rejoin the EU’s Erasmus+ scheme from 2027

It means students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe 👏

If only the government comms team could get their point across succinctly, Labour might do much better in the polls. There’s much to undo after the Tories were more inclined to enrich themselves than benefit the country.

Who would have guessed? Next they’ll tell us that slurry run off and fertiliser waste is harmful to the ecosystem.

Up to 76%

The cost to insulate retrospectively and install an efficient heat distribution system was too expensive for us when we looked into it a few years ago.

When our fancy rectangular bog seat was broken, it was cheaper to replace the whole toilet bowl and seat than to buy a replacement seat. Didn’t help that the item had been discontinued by the manufacturer, and someone had brand new old stock at a premium price.

There’s some grifting going on here.

The fuel protests are an inconvenience true, but I’ll raise you LOL Band Parades which inconvenience more people I’ll wager.

Thicker than a submarine door.

Fireworks display won’t disappoint.

A very strange thing has occurred in Ormeau Park, Belfast this morning. The footpaths are dry, the sun is shining and it feels pleasantly warm in the sunshine. I am going to jinx it. I’m going to put my washing on the line.

Can We Fix Our Rigged Tax System? For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. Thi

For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiO0_uSJAk
