That's fair. I suppose it also depends whether the slides are available for attendees or not.

I don't understand how people are still so bad at this!

Also - you can quickly spot if it's slop or something worth reading. Not possible with audio

Every young person I know listens to YouTube videos at at least 1.5 speed or double speed. Make of that what you will.

@rachelparris.bsky.social I thought you should know, when I click on the Bristol Old Vic link from your website I get this: bristololdvic.org.uk/whats-on/rac... You might wanna rattle their cage a bit!
An empty page on the Bristol Old Vic website where Rachel Parris tickets should be!

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Cool Although does anywhere actually have sodium streetlamps anymore?

I do indeed! Thank goodness. It's still a pretty awful thing though, eh.

It does fit with the rule that any kind of role or job involving the word 'agent' is generally not to be trusted though.

It kinda let's the cat out of the proverbial bag though, no? Like, this will keep happening.

Did you know that transplant patients still pay full prescription charges for everything? I take 13 medications every month just to keep on top of things. Please sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/77...

Great video. We need a Mamdani SO BADLY (got flu in one arm, covid in the other on Saturday and aside from a very slight sore arm on the covid side on day 1, I'm fine now!)

When they talk about reducing red tape, remember this image.

Is it bad that it just feels like they're inviting the viewer to, well, give him a push?

REG is how he refers to himself in his autobiographies. I love him. I honestly just think he got a bit overexcited and forgot!!

Hmmm that's actually a really good point. It'd make a truly excellent blanket.

I have to admit I've entirely lost track of what's good/bad... zionist/anti-semitic/appalled at the Israeli government/believing there should be a Palestinian state/not liking terrorism either/being led into bear traps at this point. I don't even know what a Tankie is. Everyone just sounds nuts. 🤷‍♀️

Anyone got any suggestions for what I could do with a proper fur coat? I was gifted it years ago, but it's so heavy I'll never wear it, and the lining is torn. No animal rights virtue signalling, it was long, long dead when I was given it.

I wouldn't put my entire work history down on a CV anyway, it's not all relevant. I only ever keep the last 15-20 years, with the oldest jobs only getting a line of company and job title. Although it must be said, I stopped putting my age or the dates of my qualifications on ages ago. 😶

Mate, after two years in Somerset the very idea of public transport seems like some wonderful utopian dream, even if they do shut it a lot at weekends for engineering work

Wowzer. I have been considering training to become a magistrate. I think I had assumed all custodial sentencing would be done at Crown Court, and such part timers would not hear sexual offences.

Sorting through my wardrobe this morning because we're going to refurb our bedroom soon. Realised that almost 1/3 of my hanging wardrobe (on the right) is party wear or costumes for other events #priorities
Clothes hanging on a rail in a bathroom.

A man of my acquaintance once got ragingly offended by the use of "give me the confidence of a mediocre white man" as a joke. Spent days insisting it was sexist/racist despite best attempts to explain concepts like privilege and intersectionality to him. He got pandered to in the end 🙄
