Stolen from the ever growing land of internet images but with the way the world is outside and the total drivel encompassing social media, I think this is pretty apt!

Legal people, court specialists... need some advice.
Have been sent a jury warning for my local crown court. As interesting as cases can be, as a forensic bod with links to my local police unit, & knowing how hard it is to get cases through to the CPS, last time I was called in S.Wales I was

Catching up with #TheOrville and delight to see both The Doctor and Doctor Phlox in S2.Ep3.
With Cassidy Yates as a full time crew member, it's great to see a strong #StarTrek link beyond the obvious.

Hooray for Disney showing this as I lost all access years ago when changing tv supplier.

Watching #StarTrek #DS9 S3 Ep11. Chroniton affects transport & Sisko etc end up in 2024.

This has been an interesting week. Booked knee replacement which has gone well, but not the best time for #EDS to play up.
Local anesthetic didn't work during the spinal block, tendons too soft so GA & other blocks that took 30hrs to fully leave.
Extra bending on bendy limbs has been an experience!

Watching Crime Scene Cleaners on C4, goggles and a decent mask please for dealing with any dried blood, not just on the roof!!

That car needs a new interior, and it's a murder car, who wants to rent that...

As much as I hate cold wet windy weather, I hate this British humid summer even more.

Thankfully once I manage to get outside, my local pub has a cold toilet so I'm going to hide in there for a bit!

I have no aircon in my car so dreading commutes next week...

Hooray it's only for a few days!

"Reform's dark fascination has huge ‘engagement potential’ for the UK’s large ‘I’m so fed up I’ll try anything’ cohort. The MSM spent so long dangling the novelty clickbait that ‘Reform might surprise us’, eventually it did."

Don't usually follow adverts but have seen the Nurofen female pain a few times now so decided to Google. The website is actually quite useful & the download shows the content in a clear format.
As someone always in pain, it's nice to see some understanding.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR
