If a book hasn't grabbed you by about 70 pages just stop reading it
There's too many books on the world to waste time on ones you don't like/get.
It doesn't mean the books shite though, just it's not for you

Glad you criticise. I used to buy it daily but stopped when they got rid of their Monday cartoonist @gregmoodie.bsky.social

We’re opening new GP walk-in centres across Scotland, staffed by doctors and nurses, and you won't need an appointment.

Open from 12 to 8, 7 days a week, so you can get the care you need at a time that works for you.

Graphic with headline text “New GP Walk-In Centres.” Subtext reads “You can see a doctor without rushing to get an appointment.” Background image shows a stethoscope on a desk. SNP and Scottish flag logos appear at the bottom.

Being trolled by music streaming service this morning, it’s on random but played Shot By Both Sides by Magazine then straight in to Lipstick by Buzzcocks. Amazing.
