Cat pics, tech, ranting. Sweary. Londoner. No Christmas until after my birthday.
You had a 22% pay rise last year, though
Day 2 of industrial action.
Resident doctors’ pay is down by more than a fifth, but no doctor is worth less than in 2008.
Today we strike again in England to show the Government we won’t back down until they make a credible offer.

1977 was a kind of transition year - the fag end of truly 70s music like Boney M and really sharp new wave like Tom Robinson and Elvis Costello on the same show #totp

I've got a sensor in my glass-roofed office that measures light levels. Really striking how limited the light has been today as it chucked it down all day

One day I am going to go out and ask the man who constantly walks past my open window burping really loudly if he could perhaps consider doing so a bit more quietly.

this is something I don't understand about the very rich: ok, Lineker isn't in private-jet rich territory, but he could comfortably put his feet up and enjoy life/family for the rest of his days. Why put yourself through working if you don't have to?
Gary Lineker is understood to be in talks with Netflix to feature in its US coverage of the 2027 Women’s World Cup ⬇️

Ah the 1970s.
Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Just write out "fucked", for goodness sake.
The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic
We desperately need a properly functioning BBC and properly functioning NHS
DEFEND THEM!
