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! 🎶

I've got by first session of platelets next week, and to be honest having to sit motionless in a chair for two hours being given biscuits sounds amazing.

Just imagine Labour had released a graphic with a little man with a large nose rubbing his hands and looking at money? Kemi would be calling for their heads.

Oh, not disagreeing at all. Just saying that that's an album which I could probably argue was over-mastered but I love it for it.

This is a great analogy. My only exception to this would be Rumours by Fleetwood Mac because I love deciding to just pick out one instrument on that listen through, it's just so incredibly well mastered.

Thank you, both for providing that and for approaching this as a discussion instead of the... 'other' approach I've been receiving for my post. I think my opinion might be coloured by the fact that my retired father is pretty well off and for most of my working life I've not been.

But there is a huge gulf between 'Remove the Triple Lock' and 'Starve the Pensioners', which is something I've been accused of saying several times already.

Richard deValmont @devalmont.myatproto.social · 29/09/2026
I'm not part of the Treasury or an economist so I don't really have the answer to that, but if they want the <65s to vote in the same numbers as the >65s there needs to be more parity in increase of wages and pensions when compared against the cost of living.

Richard deValmont @devalmont.myatproto.social · 29/09/2026
Again, not what I said. What's with all the people searching for anyone criticising the triple lock and throwing insults and unsaid statements at them?

So today I learner that there are Boomers on Bluesky, and they're all searching for 'triple lock' and getting arsey.

Is that what I said? I would much rather the pension was higher, the social safety net was more robust and billionaires were taxed until they weren't any more, but at the moment all we've a false binary where the pension gets increased by at least 3% when Nhs staff got a pay cut for a decase.

Richard deValmont @devalmont.myatproto.social · 29/09/2026
... 3.5% rises in pensions whilst I spent a decade as an NHS worker getting 1-2% a year and effectively receiving a pay cut.

Genuinely interested in why you think this is a right wing opinion? I'm as left wing as they come, and to be honest I would much rather the pension was higher, the social safety net was more robust and billionaires were taxed until they weren't any more, but at the moment all we've got is...

The triple lock just makes sure that people who had a wage allowing a comfortable living their entire worklife continue to be comfortable at the expense of the current young working population who'll probably not even receive a state pension. Burnham should should show some fortitude and scrap it.

Do you get the thing where you're parked by another car in a car park and it starts slowly reversing out of the spot and because your brain has for some reason decided to use it as its point of reference for motion you think your car is rolling forwards and you freak the fuck out? No, me neither.

Personally I would not pick this fight with the youtube guy who demonstrates all the ways he can nail you with an arrow at 200 yards using his feet while wearing 12-inch Pleasers, whose wife can also kill you with her bare hands, and has 9 billionteen followers who are all trans women with swords.

Back in my *much* younger days I went home with a lovely young lady from a club. The next day at work I sent a message to my friend I'd been at the club with which was something like 'That girl I went home with last night was absolute filth. I think my back needs stitches' (This is NOT the kind...

Back in the 70's, when the lead singer of the Who had a mental breakdown, the rest of the band wanted him committed. But his psychiatrist refused to do it because it says in the bible, "Thou Shalt Not Commit A Daltrey."
