They don't have to manage ordering, picking, packing, despatch, customer returns, payments processing etc.

They ship a load to an Amazon warehouse every so often and leave them to it.

Tories know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

"You won't earn above others if you get X degree"

is like saying

"Redecorating the living room isn't going to increase your house price"

Neurologically speaking, there's no such thing as 'useless' subjects or 'rip-off' degrees

Insisting we should only teach useful subjects is like saying science should only do research that gives positive results

If you honestly believe that's how anything works, *your* education was the wasted one

Regular is fantastic TV. Tense, camp, silly, twisty, good gameplay and sub plotting. Well cast for gameplay not people wanting to be on telly. If you enjoy this try series 2.

9 episodes rather than 12. I think it was filmed over two rather than three weeks. The regular version essentially starts with breakfast and ends with banishment and round table, while celebs have gone very slightly quicker.

It couldn't happen without the original - it's only this good as they're all fans and clearly love playing themselves.

But what a series!

Curious Iguana @curiousiguana.bsky.social · 19h

Well, I never thought this would be the case but Celebrity Traitors better than the original. Firstly, they are exceedingly sophisticated in their game play. Secondly, as the series is shorter the pace is much, much better. We are getting a LOT of game in each episode.

Aye those halcyon days of the 1960s when Ian Brady roamed the landscape, Anne Dunwell and Louisa Dunne were strangled, there was a brutal train robbery, the Krays rules East London and serious crime in the UK doubled.

Yes, I read it completely wrong. It's not new training, it's an innovative new type of sexual misconduct that they're trialling.

Call me old fashioned but I don't think we should be training people to do this. If anything, it's time we started training people not to.

The weirdest part of human nature appears to be that every time we invent something, a significant proportion of us try to fuck it

I just had a venison burger, with slowly fried mushroom and onion and it was absolutely superb. That is all.

So I did this but even once completed I've no idea how the words relate to each other, what the spangram means in this context and how the clue ties it together.

Anyone?

I'm working class enough to be having a meat paste sandwich for lunch.

But middle class enough that the meat paste in question is nduja.

It's so variable, and that's the problem. Our GP has online triage - they will not do it over the phone for most. We have consistently had same day phone appointments, then either a prescription straight to the pharmacy or an in-person appointment same or next day.
