Our family has used "that really boils my piss" as a metaphor for being irritated or angry since I was a child. Aged 32 I decided to try it. Last boxing day, powered by sherry, I pissed in my mum's Le Creuset casserole and boiled it. Good metaphor. My mum was livid.

It's so strange seeing the BBC, the Labour Party and now Cambridge University all bending the knee to Reform UK

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:
“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”
More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

Today I finally received a callback from DWP regarding missing NI years. Told to call the tax service & found out they have no record of receiving the cf83 form I submitted via gov.uk in February & the referance I got after submission was meaningless to them.
Got to do it all over again.🤬

Very interesting follow up up on the continuing disagreement between Tesla & the Swedish union IF Metall on Business Daily on the BBC World Service this morning. Don't know if this is of interest to the @motoringpodcast.com

A tractor or truck has hit a rail bridge near Castle Cary = a closed line, cancelled trains and a full platform at Taunton. On the upside I've ended up sat in 1st class for the short journey to Bristol.

Aah the joys of bike insurance.
Due to an admin oversight I let my 2yrs no claims from 2023 expire in August.
Got a quote taking expired ncd into account & got a price £50 over what it would be if the ncd was in date.
Checked a quote with zero ncd & it's £20 cheaper than using expired ncd.
