Less that a week after Christmas Day itself and Tabitha has insisted that decorations come down from at least her favourite perches so she can glare at me from on high again…

Lovely story about NMA’s Joolz meeting ‘one of the good ones’ from the music industry… Chris Rea.
Story from Joolz Denby over on Facebook. A bad day at TotP in 1985 with New Model Army, and Chris Rea suddenly appearing and being compassionate and gernerally decent.

Hey @hantsconnect.bsky.social … our budgets are squeezed yet you still find it acceptable to spend £ on a platform that spews hate and division ? .. even if budgets weren’t so stretched there are better ways to reach constituents without helping these people!
Live in Hampshire? You might have a view on whether any of your council tax should go towards buying ads on X.
Lots and lots of other ways to reach audiences with paid spend, Hants. And I never go there so that the fact I'm served this ad means your spend is being wasted.

It's funny how many weird dudes think women need special treatment to get hired in STEM due to innate inability to math but then they'll confuse percentages with absolute numbers and act like a declining percentage means fuck-all about their personal odds of getting hired.
