Doing well.
2 out of 2 justifications for some of my established rituals which drive the Child mad:
1) build in at least one extra train ahead of the appointment time and
2) brown people *always* need the protection of a receipt at self-checkouts

Don't say 'I told you so' Stuart, it's unedifying.

'Superflu' looking very much like normal flu.

Worst flu season since... last year.

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

A former UK prime minister held responsible for tens of thousands of deaths while the US president calls for elected politicians to be hanged.

A jolt of a reminder that law and policy are ultimately about life and death.

And politicians are often not up to dealing with such things.

Here's my plea to the government, media and everyone else to stop treating NHS administrators as a problem to be eliminated, rather than the glue which holds the whole organisation together.

This really the cracking of speeches: a banger.

Worth reading in full.
The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together.

Hm.
Either have a 5-judge panel
Or have a Single(/Head) judge vote.

But this looked off tonight. 2:1 lead just tossed aside. Where’s the scrutineer, let’s do proper ballroom marking #Strictly #SCD #RobshawRobbed
