Judging homes on Rightmove is my passion. I think this house has the most can lights I've ever seen in a single house, which I guess is useful if you're planning to run a dentist's office from your kitchen. We can do better than can lights, people!

I just got an MMR booster at my GP, since only one dose was recommended in Canada when I was a baby. Check with your GP to see if they recommend you get one too!
(Thanks to @oldenoughtosay.com for posting on here about getting a booster, which spurred me to check.)

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

Not that I expect this government to change its mind, but a reminder that the Home Office consultation on changes to ILR (that will make it impossible for immigrants to integrate) is open until next week. In case there was any doubt, I hate these proposals.
