Dads love to text "Call me when you have a minute" with no way to tell if your family has suffered a terrible tragedy, or if he just needs help with the router.

It’s time that Russia’s malign influence on British politics was properly investigated.

Agree? Add your name 👇🏻

It’s time for a REAL Russia report

Putin’s fingerprints are all over our politics. It’s time to prove it.

This is the thing that has made me feel my age today.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I fucking resent having to pay £90 for a dose of vaccine anyway but even more so when the remaining doses in the vial are being thrown away

SHAR🎃N @sharona.bsky.social · 1d

I am fuming. The pharmacist told me they are having to throw away unused vaccine because the government didn’t make it clear that the usual groups wouldn’t be eligible for this booster on the NHS. So people are making bookings and getting turned away and vaccine is going in the bin
