I can remember when all these socials were nowt but fields.
It also transpired that I would not, in fact, keep up trying to bake my own bread.

It was a good job I was sat down.

I have stolen so many days. Someone should stop me.

That shadow board showing where they should go was peak shaming.

Í was just searching for All4 ire and need to concur: it doth suck cock.

Doesn't it punish you to take minimum-wage jobs, especially if you're on housing and child benefits?

Further to yesterday: even if it works elsewhere, the UK will make this rubbish somehow. There is no system we cannot game.

Honestly was fairly decent. They have a Carrefour with predictably rapacious pricing, but the restaurant does a wine tasting with actual French people so you feel proper classy.

I'm going to a Lapland experience in Liverpool with my niece and nephew this weekend . It is going to be utter wank.
It's only £30 each, which these days is the reddest of red flags.

It's like when you see Johnny European drinking outside and doing nothing else, behaving themselves: how do they do it?

By the by, the French one is markedly cheaper so you can take the savings and feed them into the Mouse's maw.

Have you been to any of the continental ones (EuroParks et al) for contrast? I recall going to a Belgian one in my youth, and as an adult there's one near French Disney which was very adequate. I wonder if this is something that is perfectly fine that the UK has just shitified, as is our custom.

Came for the pissdome; stayed for the duck rape.

Based on this recommendation I have booked for Easter week.

If you're in the US, you get locked in a 'Thank you' 'You're welcome' death spiral.

I reckon once the hour is in double figures all bets are off.

Ooof. Too soon.

I tell you what, it was a good job I was already sat down...
