"ANOTHER REFORM COUNCILLOR GONE 😆 Ivor Robinson has resigned as a Dudley councillor altogether, just months after winning St James’s seat for Reform UK in May. This isn’t a defection or a switch to independent. His resignation means the seat is vacant and a by-election will follow." via Celia Leigh

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

Being a child of the 70s, I always thought that quicksand and The Bermuda Triangle would have a major impact on my life. How wrong I was. It was an addictive personality and an over-inflated sense of self wot done it. Regrets? Yes. Fond memories? Yep.
