What on earth are these options for asking about your employment status?

Whoever was responsible for placing the "stop" button here at BYD needs a stern talking-to.

Thames Water has let this leak on my street go unrepaired for so long that it's developed its own little ecosystem.

Any plant experts know why my Aloe Vera is trying to escape and what I should do about it?

It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since the #Brexit referendum. A timely anniversary given it's claimed another Prime Minister. The perennial question since 2016 has been the direction we should set our course, the answer is that it should be towards the rest of Europe.

It's hard to believe that this moment was six years ago today. I remember thinking and hoping that it marked a watershed moment and things would get better. Today, I'm not so optimistic. #photography #Colston

Lying here at night without any bedcovers , and with the window wide open, got me thinking. Light from distant stars has travelled many thousands of light years across the cosmos only to hit my butt. And I think that's beautiful.

I was a huge fan of #HS2 but it should really be cancelled entirely. It's utterly pointless. The project was started in 2012 when I was 26 and won't be operational until 2039 when I'm 53. Utterly pathetic. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

HS2: Railway could cost up to £102.7bn and may not open until 2039, transport secretary says
Heidi Alexander tells the Commons the railway, originally estimated to cost £32.7bn, will now cost somewhere between £87.7-102.7bn.

Is it just because I'm older now, or has running a country always been subject to such incompetence? It seems we've just had years of people whose only redeeming quality is that they've cured my Imposter Syndrome.

I guess the problem about #Starmer resigning is that I can't think of a single person who would be any good as a replacement.

I predict the Greens will be the largest party but I reckon Labour might narrowly win the mayoral race.

My Instagram feed is filled with really wholesome content about Americans who have moved to the UK and it's so cute. For example, the latest was a couple in awe of the fact you can buy boxes of 1,100 teabags.

Maybe I'm being too doom and gloom, but I've found it really difficult to show any enthusiasm for the #Artemis II mission despite being a space and science enthusiast. I just feel that with everything going on in the world, a moon mission is somewhat hubristic to say the least.

Elections in Lewisham remind me of this gem from a Tory candidate a few years ago promising to remove fencing from parks to improve safety saying "It's gonna bring so much more certainty to women and girls. If they have to run, they can run in any direction." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

@liamshrivastava.bsky.social hey Liam! Thanks for your leaflet. I was wondering if there's any public mayoral hustings for Lewisham before the May elections. I'd be keen to attend if there are.

One year after our bathroom was finished, it's now time to rip out the kitchen. I can not wait to have a proper kitchen again, we've had to make do with a shell of a space for two years. #renovation

Elizabeth Line and Overground deserve S-tier as they're just so damn good. LNER and GWR have always provided excellent service in my view, so are absolutely A-tier. Most are just mid, and do an okay job. Heathrow Express is a pointless waste of cash. Grand Central and Avanti are pretty crap.

British train companies ranked (in my opinion). If there were an F-tier I'd put CrossCountry and its stinky carriages there.

Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, protests against the war sprung up across the world. After four years of war, the protests are noticeably smaller. Yet the people who turned up in Piccadilly today are no less passionate in their resistance and solidarity. #photography

The relatively unnoticed social media war between the various parties involved in the redevelopment of Liverpool Street station is quite amusing. I've got about ten different designs being promoted alongside petitions and calls for action against all the various options. No wonder nothing gets done!

Must admit, I've been trying to warm to Starfleet Academy but whilst trying to not appear that I'm shitting on new Star Trek, I'm really struggling to enjoy it. I'm on episode 3 and it feels like a very slow first act of Starship Troopers.

Government-owned companies shouldn't be anywhere near Starlink. As long as it's headed by a man who is actively trying to damage our democracy, it shouldn't receive a penny of UK taxpayer money. If this pisses you off like it does me, write to your MP. www.southwesternrailway.com/other/news-a...
