And all of that while the service deteriorates. Near impossible to search for a sport on replay. Hunt the feed for a while then side scroll forever, wrong one, start over. Impossible to tell which feed has ads and which is ad-free (who would choose ads?) Increasingly no ad-free option for sports.

So happy we could get an original! When you started these I honestly didn't get it, how can anyone paint a crystal? The end result is so beautiful. Hope things pick up over the coming days. Looking forward to the pinball too, likely get a print for that one ⭐

SO VERY HYPE FOR SPARKLY ART! Spent ages trying to find art we liked with lots of bare walls, now very different. Thank you as always.

Clarity, in case required, no resentment to those who left that way. Just University leadership for using VS as a tool to dodge discussion.

While people who were about to retire in 2025 were given VS, and extra money from our apparently cash strapped employer to do so, just to put a block on hiring to fill that role. Given every role has to go to approval to rehire anyway that seemed like management wanting to avoid the conversation.

Also solidarity, connections is such a bad rip off of Only Connect.

If it helps there is this: puzzgrid.com

Filter to rating level, country, difficulty. The boards can be a bit hit of miss sometimes but there's some really clever ones too. Only annoyance is that I can't turn off the timer but you can always refresh.

Agree, there was a point in a previous series where the bullying got so bad it was an unpleasant watch and I imagine it was close to the producers openly stepping in, they definitely did behind the scenes. The celebs all played it as a game but also got into the spirit of it. Cozy but also fun!
