Same in my city. Some pubs survived the clearances, at least for a while. This one always fascinated me as testimony to a street plan long gone and marooned in light industrial sprawl.

But if the barber shaves all who do not shave themselves. Who shaves the barber?

cuts to an earlier timeline

I still think of the counterfactual that had Germany prevailed in 1940 the US could have developed a good working relationship with Hitler's regime and drifted toward its own brand of white authoritarianism.

And yet still with the fried chicken tropes.

Seriously?

Migrated to Bitwarden from LastPass (paid) and very happy.

Third rate Matt Berry impersonator.

Oh Sven, was hast du gemacht?

not convinced this ends well.

Quick update - LF has lost his case.

In the event, the judge did not need to determine whether the terrible Mr Fox was, or was not, a racist after finding LF's reputation had not been seriously harmed as a result of the tweets.

As in their defence to his libel action is 'honest opinion' (used to be 'fair comment')

Judge may not even need to adjudicate on his racism if their comments about which he complains are judged to be genuinely held opinions which would be understood as such by a reasonable person.

The defence is 'honest opinion'

The colloquial guidance at a previous employer was:

‘Don’t pork the payroll’

He’s been doing the same schtick since the 11 o’clock show.

With all the hype some people have high expectations.

As a black comedy with some lush visuals and a decent retro soundtrack it’s a good watch.

But don’t expect tight plotting, character depth, clever twists, or sophisticated allegory. It isn’t that.
