But each to their own.

Following week we saw my film of whichever year that was: A Real Pain. Showed what can be done in pretty much exactly 90 minutes. Unforgettable images, laughs and tears. 2/2

:) My OT had to anticipate the intermission by 5m. No drinks provided in our community-run French Cinema, but we brought our own. Not enough architecture in the film for me, + nobody really needs more lessons about how rich Americans exploit & treat migrants. Well acted and shot, but tedious. 1/2

It was a very, very long watch.

Weymouth seagulls can be incredibly accurate, and can swipe just the bacon out of a bacon bap. They are also known to drink beer and cider, sometimes by taking the whole glass.

Beautiful birds.

Last week David Attenborough and Joyce Grenfell were on the panel. Great stuff but oh boy, the accents.

Not enough architecture. World be better for losing a good hour.

Best film in a long time. Not at all diminished by being pretty much spot on 90 minutes. Laughed a lot, but so many poignant moments .. last frames live with me and maybe always will.

Surely if you just add the WFA amount to the (still comparatively low) State Pension, better off pensioners will pay tax on it, so the treasury gets some back ... Without means testing.
As for the rest, Angela Rayner has some suggestions, I believe.

Needs a Rework, maybe.

Tierney has done well in the past at left CB for Scotland. Worth a shot if Ben still out.

Isn't it technically part of France, and subject to EU tariffs?

But perhaps he watched the last series of Peaky Blinders, where it was used to avoid all sorts of "restrictions".

But better than slogging through 3 hours of The Brutalist even with interval. And then, hardly any architecture. At least the play might be worth the trip.

*Former* Tory MP. Ousted last July by a very talented young man who, back in the day, I had the honour of counting among my students. Like me, Lloyd Hatton MP is neither rich nor dishonest. Long may he hold his seat.

Six? I'm f*c*d then. Stateless. Even Ireland won't have me. (Should have applied when of sporting age).
God this stuff is ridiculous. "Wherever I lay my hat..." Though I lost it on the train.

Or, an extra day in UK, usual train delays and a last minute dash to a Portsmouth ferry fortunately late leaving.
Brittany Ferries' new laudably eco-ship, to & named St Malo, has good food, great service, and a friendly bar. Sadly nary a comfortable seat on the boat, but you can't have everything.

All fines should be taken in share holdings. Dividends blocked until infrastructure reaches acceptable standards. At the rate they are being fined, won't take to long to get to 51%+
