I've only ever voted Lib Dems or Green, (I've lived in a super safe Tory seat, then two super safe Labour seats and now for the last 16 years a super super safe Tory seat again) But as far as I can tell the MRP individual seat polling stuff seems to suggest it will be super close with Labour this ti...

My Wife and I have been on a Richard Armitage binge recently. It started out by watching Red Eye , This was ITV's recent drama, involving Spies, China an overnight Flight between the UK and China (I assume this is the Red Eye, and that's not some play on China/Communism/Reds) It was alight, full of ...

Ian Dunt's email today talking about the Tories sending out an email looking for 200-odd (!) candidates (Labour need 100 or so). They'll have a fortnight to vet them. Many will be in very safe seats for other parties, so you'll need "someone very odd" to run.

Expect more hilarity.

I have hesitated to share this here, but I think it’s a safe and forgiving space, so please let me share with you my attempts at topiary. We’ve got a few topiary areas in the garden. Two tall topiary topped trees, one a cube and one a sort of ‘umbrella’ sit to the left. Then a little further in we h...

Now that Rwanda is “safe”, the government have started rounding up people to deport them instead of applying this to new arrivals. Many of these are asylum seekers who are cooperating fully with the system, are a good way through the application process and have started building a life here by going...

OR, and here’s an idea, just hold out on any more wild swims for the foreseeable, until you’ve been given the all clear by the docs, and *then* get someone to accompany you. You can go for a nice, managed swim at a pool or leisure facility in the meantime, knowing that there are people there to help...

How did they even. Appalling. At least it's been found and contained before something disastrous happened. There's a lot of "complain/demand to this and that person!" I want to do but "safe now and fixed soon" are the important things. Saying that with a lack of heat and cooking ...

1) Long Timber Woods 2) Long Timber Woods again. Another after work walk and swim rushed to get in before the end of the month. Not too dark this time, but the water was flowing too fast for safe swimming. I managed to swim on the spot (upstream) for about a minute before resigning myself that I co...

The Crew Or to give it its full (self-claimed) name according to the title screen, The Crew: Calling All Units , with cop sirens and dramatic cop music. Hooray! I didn't buy Calling All Units, I bought Wild Run Edition, but the single use code had been singly used, which, as always, is bullshit. Di...

I had one of those dreams where you fall asleep after trying to wake up for the day. BACKGROUND: I dreamed about Chris, who I knew as ‘Mott’. Chris was a real person I met eight years ago in real life. A massive guy who I met when having surgery. I’d had Darwin and needed quite complex surgery after...

Pour it down my neck normally. Nearest description is can, I think - sterilise bottles, pour sauce in, lid on, wait for the "pop". There's enough salt and vinegar to keep it safe for years in a cupboard. I dehydrated and vacuum sealed quite a few the other week, during peak harvest. No ide...

I think we'd also stay until the Monday in normal circumstances.

As long as Bobby checked it was safe first.

He’s been on there for years and sold other things so would be safe to deal with I think.

It’s only been 24hrs. I’d give it another few to be on the safe side

Still didn’t quite know what I was doing, but it seemed to all come out ok.

So if you really really only want a small amount of data there are lots of cheap options out there - and I know this was posted as a first world problem and just a (safe) place to rant but hotukdeals have regular threads and offers about cheap mobile sim deals with very little to pay and some quite ...

The classic advice is to phone up and say that you're asking about the car. If they follow it up by asking which one then it's safe to assume they are a dealer.

I think I've only seen two F&F films - the first one (which I quite enjoyed) and the one where they steal a bank safe by dragging it around with chains attached to cars, I can't remember the number of that one (perhaps that's F5?). I also saw Hobbs and Shaw, that was mostly fun. I'm assuming the...

I meant something that cooked in a more active fashion. Like a heated under blanket, but full of some kind of safe refrigerant.

Glad you're safe and home Cras

Oh gosh. That must have been terrifying. I hope you didn’t take a great risk of there is deep water there, but I’m glad she’s safe and hope the injuries heal quickly (probably quicker than the scare).

It must be loading something from squirrell.org, which Google has decided is a phishing site for some reason. I can fix it later, but you're perfectly safe for now.

Last night I had a dream that I was getting a Covid booster Jab and when I sat down in the booth it was Kovacs to give me the jab. He stuck the needle in my arm and gave the vaccine, but as he put the cotton wool on afterwards there was a drop of blood, and he said he was worried that I had bled out...

Merry Christmas everyone! I too have just tested positive for COVID. If anyone wants me, I'm under a blanket on the sofa. Oh no. I’m so sorry Jazzy. Does this mean a big change to your plans for the next few days? Rest well and get well soon. Yeah, but it's first world problems in the great scheme ...

1) Secret of Monkey Island (ScummVM/Switch - I think it was the PC version) Still lovely, and I still remember how to complete it. The music didn't sound as good as I remember (this might be a PC/Amiga thing, or maybe it just wasn't setup right, but the Switch kept crashing ...

Looks like we've decided it's not safe for spyplanes without an escort. Also interesting, if you're that sort of nerd, is to...

Suspiciously specific denial

I promise not to crash or anything, Pete. You will be perfectly safe, ignore all reports to the contrary.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (the Nick Cage biopic) is surprisingly safe but nonetheless a good time and plenty of fun. I enjoyed it a lot and it had a few good laughs.

I was just annoyed it wasn’t more ambitious as the “plot” was fucking dire.

That's a lot of people! Were you nervous riding in such a big group? No, it’s not too bad when you’ve done a few. There’s a lot to keep an eye out for, as you’ve got no idea how safe and sensible a rider everyone around you is, but going through the city it’s 30 and 40 mph limits which helps. There...

I have an 8 bulb light fitting to finish wiring up, and the provided bits and instructions make nothing like electrically safe sense; so I bought this, because for pennies more I also get the multimeter I need but have forgotten why!

Oh, and I saw Elvis yesterday, for similar reasons. Kermode said he went in with a bit of a "go on, then, impress me" attitude, and from moment one when Elvis is on screen and performing, he felt safe with his depiction. I totally agree. It's a bit long, and the general Bar Luhrman kaleido...

Those are so pretty! Also very glad to have photos. Imagine the sentence just on its own "The strawberries have really started to come in now". Day 25, and the barricades have been eaten away by the ivy. First the blueberries started to roll in and were fairly easily squashed before they c...

@mimi the wineberries haven't fruited yet, they were pot bound then almost died when put in the ground; recovering well this year with plenty of flowers so fingers crossed! We've got loganberries knocking about somewhere as well, like tayberries a raspberry-blackberry cross but different varieties. ...

Haha! I said that to my Ma yesterday. What with the bed of garlic they’re next to I think we’re safe for a while.

Even the steady handle wasn’t steady.

Great performance though, even if he was lip synching for his life.

That platform doesn't look safe

I’ve watched Moonknight. I have an severe case of “can’t give a fuck about Marvel itis.” The budget is huge, the CG is everywhere etc but it’s so fucking bland and safe. Someone dies at the end of one Kate episode which was a bit of drama but 10 minutes into the next episode and they’re right back. ...

It’s a huge nay but also a huge yay. Hang on to the fact that they are safe and have found friends and comfort in your kindness x It was a really rather excellent afternoon. I don't want to put pictures on here, but I'll send you a couple direct. I’d love that! I’m so happy that I’m such dark circu...

£120 got me less than a full tank of super for my superb this weekend but I would still happily buy a Maloo with the supercharged 6.2 LS if it had ever been official Vauxhall. I came very close on a supercharged monaro with a quoted 19mpg combined when that was a thing 15 years ago or some other daf...

@Warhead It sounds like you’ve done all you can to avoid infection. Keep safe, keep resting and take all the precautions you can to stay away from it all as you recover x

It's simply awful and horrific. I'm functioning at the moment by restricting myself to ten minutes of news in the early morning at most and just trying for every distraction during the day for sake of mental health. So expect some distracting but safe content momentarily from me as I try to turn my...

sure, a rough landing in good conditions isn't something to be proud of; I think I more meant a safe landing in difficult/rough conditions like a big old storm.
