Ooof. I mean, they're bound to be covering their arses with every tenuous link possible, but that's a low blow. Christ.

Hahaha! Yeah, because if there's one thing a sleep-deprived person wants, it's the gamification of the sleep they aren't getting enough of.

Interesting... Given they've released pretty much everything they can from the current era (or the most saleable items), I wonder what that might look like and what else is lined up?

I really need some reading specs, I thought that was Alan Carr. 🙈 (Congratulations to you, though - wonderful news! X)

Thing is, all these 'exclusives' they've released over the last year or so are still freely available from CO, and some are even reduced. It's not a good look (and a crap set-up for potential buyers outside the UK).

If only they'd budge it along.

Don't get me wrong, I really do not care about some things, but the things I DO care about are the things that are usually the result of other people NOT caring. If that makes sense? 🤣

I'm glad things are feeling more stable, sounds like more ups than downs, which is the real measure (plus the filthy cash, hurhurhur). I know stability means nowt, but generally speaking perm does give you a bit more security. Contracting used to offer decent opportunities. Not so much anymore. 🙃

I do, thankfully, the next one is only a short gig until April, and I expect it will be more of the same crap with a different consultancy and GOV department, but I'll take it for now.
NGL - I'm thinking about going back to perm work, so I can just not think about "the next gig" for a year or two.

I mean, it's compelling but clearly Photoshopped. Maybe a mixture of that and AI. McGann looks a bit stocky there, which he isn't. And whatever reference they used for Piper must be from a good few years ago. Sneaky pixel-pushing bastards. 🤣

The Telegraph was always the Mail for people who think they’re posh. We’ve got the Mirror and Mail founded by the same person, The Independent set up by former Telegraph journos, and The Times and The Sun owned by Murdoch. But of course the real issue with the media is the rampant left-wing bias. 👀
