I binged on all 3 episodes of Time last night so I won't say much except it ramps up even more. I don't normally like Jodie Whitticker but she is excellent.

This popped up on Fb. Made me smile.

So the Tories have decided to put on hold their proposed ban on Section 21, no fault, evictions until the court process is reformed which could take years. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-67187411

It takes a while to prepare a ground assault. A few weeks is nothing really.

Bodies was good although you do need to keep focused otherwise you can lose track.

Anyone of consenting age is probably too old for Priti. The new Labour MP looks fit though. Yeah I went there

Seriously guys can we just f**k off at the sniping at each other. I remember when Neil ,Worm and Barry were at it all the time. That was amusing and very entertaining to watch. This is just tedious shite. Blah blah blah

So HS2 was cancelled to Manchester. Avanti who run a piss poor service have their contract renewed for 9 years and today announce cuts to that service.https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/oct/20/avanti-west-coast-cut-services-december-rail-train Also transpennine, publically owned, are cutting their services between Manchester and Leeds. Is this levelling up?

Maybe they are fake "colleges" like in the Uk so people can get a visa and register and can then work? 😉

Bless. When I was a student RMN we called occupational workers "basket weavers". There was one that I had a soft spot for and we got stuck in my home together (a 3 bedroomed house on site,) but I never took it anywhere as I had met my ex. I hope you don't belittle being her pet project. She might just be what you need. Students tend to be obsessed with their "projects"

Solfest is on the same weekend

Israel will always win on that score. More deaths thanks to the genocide.

Fall of the Housr of Usher. I love Poe not just the books but the film with Vincent Price. These episodes are sublime.

My grandfather served on the Palestine up to the formation of Israel. He had some very colourful words about Jews of which terrorist was mild. I was actually shocked when this mild mannered man went on an expletive array. I was only 10 or so at the time and knew he was involved in the liberation of Belson.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-67087861 Sounds like 15 minute cities. Call the cops.

f**king jazz bucket. Thankfully we never did the same in Northern Ireland. Just lost my vote.

What a wuss. I managed a full morning once. C- must try harder.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/11/asylum-cost-of-living-food-banks-heat-or-eat-diaries A nice little article about asylum seekers and the cost of living.

I think I still owe them for a fine when I was still working.

Just finished it and it certainly is grim viewing. I can't praise Steve Coogan enough. I won't say much as that would spoil it but I thought the assaults were done tactfully leaving much to the imagination. 5 stars

No. One of the Gettys fund them as well as public donations etc.

This made me smile.
