Gosh, I feel rough. I had my Covid19 and flu jabs 12 hours ago. Not just that my upper arms feel like I've been kicked by a horse but I feel like I've got Covid19 and flu. Serial yawning.

Dear YBS, have another go: PSA and ISA example: [..] a basic rate tax payer, wouldn’t pay tax if you were to earn the following in one tax year: £1,000 interest in an ISA £500 interest in a different savings account This is because the interest earned in an ISA does not count towards your PSA.

BBC Sounds has created a novel, if not bizarre, way of selling a programme it thinks you may be interested in, to you. It renames that programme to one of a series to which you are subscribed so it appears in the subscribed programme's listing. I think that's weird.

When Lee and Lucy move to their new house. Their front door initially doesn't have a house number on it. Then it has number 24. Then a few episodes later the house number becomes 27. Either that's the result of crass continuity errors or it's a tease. Who knows? #NotGoingOut

I thought the term 'Karen' for a bolshie, empowered female was a modern thing. A character in a Minder episode (1985) has just used it in the same context.
