The 00s Bleak House is always worth a rewatch

The Pallisers (1970s?) is worth a watch if it's illegally on YouTube still. The first couple of episodes are a bit ropey, but then it proper gets going.

It’s mostly the gvmnt’s fault over their choice of words, but no, ministers are not (despite what much of BlueSky thinks) requiring migrants to have an English A-level. They are requiring B2 level English skills, which is what you have in French if you have A-level French. www.gov.uk/government/n...

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

A week or so. It particularly upsets me that they don't even suggest roast pork with crackling.

That's not unhinged. That's extremely hinged.

And this is supposed to stop Grenfell from happening again, somehow.

Anna James @superteadrinker.bsky.social · 2d

Probably, but I only remember the tune. And the number, of course. Never entered any of the competitions though.

It's also from a noreply address.
So I can't tell them I can't submit the paperwork because a different part of government keep sending it to the wrong address. But they can invalidate my mortgage.

Watched a 2007 film yesterday and the main character thought everything was terrible because of Bush as President, the Iraq war, and the possibility of avian flu.

If someone were to buy it for me and pay the annual service charge I think I could bring myself to live with that bathroom.
