The fact that there has not been proper outcry at the transformation of WH Smiths into TG Jones tells me everything I need to know about where this country is at now. I am old enough to remember the Choco Krispies protests of 1998.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.
Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

Never feel more like an ageing world-weary lady detective who’s been called out to help solve a difficult case then when I’m out in the dark on the evening dog walk brandishing a torch

Client in fashion retail messaged *this morning* to say they want to change their Black Friday offer and launch two weeks earlier than planned.
In my current state, I'm not taking this especially well.

Well Streeting can take Joe Marler’s name out of his mouth for a start
NEW: Wes Streeting says it’s “categorically untrue” that he’s plotting a coup against Keir Starmer.
“Whoever has been briefing this has been watching too much celebrity traitors.
“The briefing about me is the most unjustified attack against the faithful since Joe Marler was banished in the final.”

Thought I was coping admirably then walked past someone busking on actual bagpipes in Worthing town centre and now I want to commit a violent crime
First time in eight years I have messed up collecting my next batch of sertraline. Likely can't get to a pharmacy before Thursday. Suspect I'm in for a rough three days.

Corbyn and Sultana clash comes after months of fighting between the pair both jostling to be leader of populist left
The feud between Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana over the future of a left wing party took another twist as the two camps argued publicly over hundreds of thousands of pounds in donations.
Sultana on Monday offered to transfer £600,000 from a company which the party’s founders set up earlier this year, only to be rebuffed by allies of Corbyn who accused her of playing “political games” with supporters’ money. Continue reading...

Extremely irritating to hear about a slightly fraught family situation from my mother, give her my thoughts, then have her say "I wonder what Jonathan's take on this would be...?" as though she thinks my husband is smarter than I am

In-laws are visiting today. Dog can't handle the excitement of unfamiliar people. My workday has mostly been about managing the feelings of a developer and a design agency in the pursuit of delivering precisely 2 (two) new web pages. Someone pass me a strong cocktail and a menthol cigarette, please.
