Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

“Nelson’s Column? Pah!
TV THAT TIME FORGOT: Nelson's Column (BBC1, 1994-95)
John Gordon Sinclair sitcom about a journalist called Gavin Nelson who... has a column. It's either the worst ever name for a sitcom or... the best?

After a lazy week so far, did some #running . Both workouts for the week done, trying to get a local legend back, 3 reps wasn’t enough 😖

Since “Prince” is no longer a hereditary title, but one which requires meritorious conduct, can we agree the same applies to “King”?

So my daughter is back from Cambridge just for Sunday lunch. She wants a proper roast dinner with roast spuds and Yorkshires. Takes a bit of work on the timing but no problem, we will have a lovely chill time.
