Cheapskate landlords + personal entertainment devices != new friends

Heartbreaking! My eldest was definitely happier when he moved into a shared house. Still no shared living room, but at least a bigger kitchen to hang out in

Nailed it!

Less blurry than the band pics, mind…

I'd like to see UK data centre plan developed with net zero goals, community health and opportunity, and local renewal in mind. What is the upside of living and working near to a data centre? And if there isn't one, govt needs to *create* one.
