The UK Government is trailing digital identity again. For all the coverage today there's a lot of covering old ground. Here's a UK Gov (Conservative) news release from 2023. Things have moved on considerably since then too. www.gov.uk/government/n...

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them…

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

‘Blue zones’ are areas of the world where people live a particularly long time. They have been studied to see what lifestyles may lead to a long and healthy life. However, new evidence suggests they are simply areas with higher levels of clerical errors and pension fraud.

An hour and half on the phone to the GP for test results and they still haven't picked up. Newbattle Medical Practice really needs to do better. I've had the same three minute loop of inane music the whole time. If I wasn't ill before I'm certainly feeling it now.

I'm a complete sucker and bought something off a scam website. Luckily it was nothing expensive and I used my CC. I feel more embarrassed than anything else.

I've tried to do my bit and report it to my bank but they ask that I wait 30 days before putting in a claim. How is this helping anyone?

So many new PR faces even since the first PR Starter Pack - so I've created a second one. 50 people in this one already.

I've started to fill it out - if you'd like to be in it (and aren't already in this or the first one - do have a look), like this post and I'll get to it!

If you are looking for a swear and drugged fueled comedy examining language and identity I can thoroughly recommend 'KNEECAP' #film on Amazon Prime. Very dark, very funny. youtube.com/watch?v=FFYf...
