@theguardian.com It would be *really nice* if you could tag your posts with categories, like UK, sports, football, etc., so that I can properly filter out things I don't care about (like the constant stream of Premier League stuff) from that which I do (like your politics and environment coverage).

Holy poo, this second shingles vaccine is hitting hard. Strongest reaction I've ever had to a vaccine. Of course I'd still get it because shingles fucking sucks, but damn, I'd like to have been able to sleep last night.
