Amen. I miss in-person stuff for so many things.

Woohoo! Thanks, Tom! 🎉

I feel I also owe a debt to @sophiedennis.bsky.social for this one, whose repost alerted me to the opportunity. 😁

Rather, they were derogatory comments about South Americans [sic] or Mexicans having a “different mentality” to Europeans. That was his clarification after accusing Perez of being “not as completely focused in his head” as Max Verstappen. So, he was slandering the attitudes of an entire continent.

Anything else I should add to that second list? Preferably on mobile as I don't want to have to splash any cash on new hardware! 😄

Probably worth noting that the only console I've ever owned is my trusty old PS2... on which I'm still slowly completing #Ōkami to this day. 😄 (It remains amazing, btw.)

And since googling to jog my memory, I now also need to check out:
• Papers, Please
• Journey
• Gris
• The Last of Us

Done the repost thing. Am now replying. Mission accomplished, fingers crossed. And thank you!

Is your league open to everyone, @chainbear.bsky.social ? If so, can I get the passcode for next year, please?

And don't worry, I'm a bit rubbish at it so won't win or anything. 🤷

Ah, that reminds me: watching Heima (the Sigur Rós documentary) is a Christmas tradition for us. I'm guessing we're approaching 6 viewings by now, if that counts.

Doubt I've watched ANY film that many times, so I'll just post one that's a 4-timer but which I'll happily watch again any time.

I have the opposite experience. I've got really narrow, long feet and can only find trainers that suit me, but not formal shoes as they're all too wide. Maybe if you have wide feet, you need to dress formally the whole time while narrow-footed people are required to be informal. 🤷

Implementing a cap, whether at £10K or £100K, seems like a simple measure to address the issue of individuals buying power.

It still doesn't appear to mean a completely level playing field, however, as income from "public funds" varies too: www.electoralcommission.org.uk/media-centre...

Yes, the recent £9m donation to Reform opened my eyes to the extent that individuals (or individual organisations) can drastically alter the balance of power in election campaigns. That one donation accounts for a HUGE percentage of Reform's annual total and dwarves other parties' totals.
