Pet Shop Boys first remix album, Disco, turns 40 next month. That gave me an excuse to revisit and re-contextualise it, musing on the evolution of the remix album and the relationship between dance and pop in the 80s. jointhefuture.net/2026/09/23/r...

It's #NationalTeletextDay once again, so it's time to do my duty (or should it be duvet)
A double bed with a duvet on top of it. The duvet has a page from Ceefax printed on it with text as follows:

"You are watching items of news and information from CEEFAX, the BBC's teletext service. The full service offers several hundred pages and is available to anyone with a suitably-equipped television set."

Most of the text is white on a blue background, with CEEFAX and The BBC's teletext service in yellow.

There are also two plain white pillows at the top of the bed, with a cuddly dragon sat between then. A pair of bedside tables sit either side of the bed with various things placed on them such as alarm clocks and telephones.

I’ve managed to find an online pharmacy that’s worse than Pharmacy2U. Step forward, PillTime.
Screen grab of help chat from PillTime app:
“Me: Gp issued prescription on 2/9/2026 - PillTime app still says I have no orders

PillTime: If your GP issued a prescription on 2/9/2026 and it's not showing in your Orders tab yet, it may still be processing or there could be a delay. Since the Orders tab only shows active orders currently being processed by the pharmacy, you'll need to contact your pharmacy directly to check on the status of this prescription.

Me: Am I not doing so?

PillTime: I'm not quite sure what you mean - could you clarify what you're trying to do or what's not working?

Me: You say "contact your pharmacy" but you are my pharmacy

PillTime: You're right - apologies for the confusion.
Since your prescription was issued on 2/9/2026 and isn't showing in your Orders tab yet, there may be a delay in processing.
The best way to check on this is to call or visit the pharmacy directly, as they'll be able to look into why it hasn't appeared in your account yet.”

Lots of talk on ADHD, Autism on support, diagnosis, medication floating around. Few thoughts 1. You know we get misdiagnosed for years, prescribed far more dangerous medication with little oversight, treated in wards for years for things we don't have. Diagnosis and treatment is cheaper.
