Four cats, sleep apnea, Motown, Disco, Power Pop, an artist wife, & a stepson who likes The Arctic Monkeys. Still waiting for the gentrification of Croydon……..

I speak as someone whose wife does a 4 day week & spends three of them working from home.
At home she doesn’t have to spend 2 hours on a train or struggle to listen to a meeting as there is someone right next to her. Her productivity at home is greater.
As always Farage is talking utter crap
BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance

"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”

Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

If Starmer does go and Labour need somebody to steady the ship its worth noting that its past transfer deadline day and Sam Allardyce is out of work

Paging @jodb.bsky.social -you appear to have won the Ace records draw…….

Right as ever
Imagine drumming on Double Barrel when you're 18, then going on to play on Police And Thieves, Pull Up To The Bumper, and a million crucial recordings. And, of course, Boops (a track I often get obsessed with). Like the LP title, Sly Dunbar was a Rhythm Killer. R.I.P. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVIs...
