Bugger! It's just gone to t'wall.

Maybe they will bounce back?

Now that he's banned on Twitter, perhaps we should invite Donald Trump to post on here.

If Herbie was too much for Blonde, I don't think Trump will last long.

ARRRRRRRRGHHHH!!!


I hate this sort of thing.

It's a bit weird Gmail (for example) doesn't block this sort of thing. Google are very keen on blocking everyone else's tracking- they say it's for privacy reasons, but it's actually cos that's their job. See also the NHS's first go at a track and trace app, which Google blocked because it went against their privacy policy on Android. Their privacy policy being of course that Google can invade your policy as much as they like but no one else can.

I love the benefits of Google Skip but it's a terrible trade off.

I'm not so sure personally. When it comes to Google I get they know everything about me but a) in return they give me lots of stuff I find really useful (Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Search, a cheaper phone etc.) and b) I trust them if I tell them to stop it on their privacy tools, they will. Facebook on the other hand seem to spend their entire time trying to evade any kind of controls, and return they give me a website where my acquaintances reveal themselves to be Nazis. Or occasionally Communists.

Having said that I know picking between the tech giants is like picking which fascist dictator you want to be whipped by.

ARRRRRRRRGHHHH!!!

Yesterday was quite sunny with a nice gentle breeze and I said, "What a beautiful drying day".

I need some male comany.

Well, there's nothing macho about having dirty clothes I suppose.

You make a good point about the internet. Too much of it isn't good for you.  Regardless, very much enjoying your musings on here.

Thankfully she still has her label on so you can take her back to the shop.

Talking of spreadsheets, here is one I "like" with case numbers for the UK and graphs:

This guy has been a bit of a legend on the stats front on the DHSC twitter feed.

He has some views, that's for certain. I like his facts.

All this talk of don't worry, it'll only kill the old and vulnerable doesn't do much for me really. Everyone else will just be laid up for weeks and nearly dying, but escaping. That sounds like something I'd quite like to avoid too if possible.

Yang is dunzo, in case you haven't heard:

I take it we are in the North for the purposes of this picture?

There's a lot more to it than that I think. He might not of realised that he was gay 27 years ago. Or maybe he did sort of know but was in denial or ashamed or whatever.

Things have moved on a lot in 27 years when it comes to gay rights. Could he have presented kids TV 30 years ago as an openly gay man? There was a guy I used to work with who was married, had a kid but was making passes at various blokes in the building. It's a rubbish situation to be living a lie.

I agree, heroic is probably not the right word, but I think brave might be. It's all part of life's rich tapestry or summit, innit.

Look at some of these buildings before and after the clean air act.

What an annoying website, I gave up after the first pics. Why is it the majority of 'news paper' websites are just so laggy? Do they not realise that all the adverts they force on you causes people to turn off?

It's an interesting topic this. I think that these types of local newspapers are so close to skint that they will put any old rubbish on their websites to squeeze out the last few pence to try and stave off going busto. Which in turn puts people off and sends them closer to busto. They know this but are desperate. It must be a pattern in a lot of businesses coming near the end.

Is there a chance Sergio no more than rotates the starting role with Jesus in the PL the rest of the season we think hhyyyfytrr?

Plays all the CL and Cup games, and starts his wind-down in the PL? Have already sold his PL goals at a crazy 27, might be tempted to go again.

I thought you meant Sergio from Kasabian at first.
