My dad was wrong about many things, but he never trusted a man in a button down wearing a tie. He would never have allowed a round necked jumper and jacket to go without rebuke. He also never trusted weak chins.
I guess there is some validity in judging by trivial factors they can’t change.

Mould is a lot like fascism. It lurks in dark corners, amplified by hot air, worsened by modern life, and blame is placed on the wrong source of everyone’s woes.
And it can be eradicated with knowledge, and bleach.

If people are given the right advice as tenants and owners, and the tools to make things better, like trickle vents and bathroom fans, then it is manageable. Oh and kill the mould on sight, with a legit mould killer.

Anything that adds moisture to air can be reduced and if you do add water to the air it needs to be vented. Boiling the kettle, cooking pasta with the lid off, drying clothes, leaving the bathroom door open when you shower, breathing in bed at night! Ultimately we left, but the knowledge stayed.

In my 20’s I lived in a poorly built house that someone stuck at the end of their garden. The open plan living room and windowless bathroom combined with zero wall insulation meant it quickly became a mould hellscape. I researched how to sort it and how to manage it in the long term.

I think he did the interview over the weekend so technically ancient history could be as little as 1 day for him.
Reminds me of dealing with my dad’s dementia. Their short term memory is entirely hallucinatory and irrationally fragmented, but their long term nostalgic memories are vivid.

Interesting to see Lewis maintaining his winning streak of not doing any actual journalism and pasting social media sentiment slop as his own opinion. Been seeing variants on this theme all weekend.

It was great to see such love from Jordan to Jade on Hootenanny, but the purest and most devastating display of on-screen love (and loss) was Pete Wicks and Colin the wild boar on season 3 of Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls.

I simply do not get why the BBC are so obsessed with Reform, it’s turkeys excitedly reporting on upcoming menu changes. The flag shaggers and defund the bbc crowd are the same people, and they’re all going to vote reform. They will cut the bbc to the bone and they’ll all be out on their arses.

Went to Scarborough over half term and had to explain to my 7 year old why there tattered polyester flags flaccidly hanging from lampposts along the coastal walkway. It was an apt symbol of the limp dicked ideology that put them up there.

A country where people hang mystery bags of dog shit from trees could never descend into civil war. We say sorry to people that hit us with their trollies ffs.

She’s clearly a beard. There are few men with less sexual charisma than Farage.
I’d wager they met in a Belgian s&m dungeon where he was having a perfectly straight banana jammed up his arse while being shouted at in German.

Problem is that those who think Farage isn’t the snivelling little racist rat nosed rouble pocketing duplicitous self aggrandising lying bastard, wouldn’t be swayed by a TV debate even if Polanski predictably wiped the floor with him.

When it comes to boat crossings though it’s impossible to measure the sheer quantity.

As much as I love Eddie there were no boats before Brexit. Brexit caused the boats.
People voted Brexit because they wanted to see less brown faces on their street and hear less foreign voices on their bus, because the liars sold Brexit as a solution, knowing full well it would make it worse.

Nigel Farage has the most desperate wannabe Epstein energy. I bet he’s one of the few who’s gutted they aren’t on the list.

Please put ‘partner’ in inverted commas. He’ll be saying he never met her soon enough.
Plus, I heard he pays good money to get pegged on the regs, so this ‘relationship’ is just for show.

I watched it last night on a rare solo night at the cinema and I’ve been thinking about it ALL DAY, and no one to talk to about it with.
It was sooooo brilliant, so timely, fierce, funny, scary.

This all came up when Sunak was using private healthcare. The health of our senior leaders is a national security issue, and our PM, arguably the entire cabinet, should have unfettered access to immediate NHS health services, both preventative and reactive.

What is it about journalism, and all the hard graft that goes to get ahead in a scorned and underpaid profession, that whittles so many of them down to the micropenii of bitterness that they all seem to covet. No other career rips out morals, empathy, and spines like being a journo.

Zara used to be a reliable voice of sanity during the phlegmy death rattle of the post Brexit Tory reign, but she’s sadly been unable to convert that momentum into a sense of credibility. She feels less about the unity and community that I’m yearning for, and a continuation of divisiveness.

I wasn’t referring to the headline, I was referring to the OP and commenters.
People don’t read the article, where it states that it’s for skilled visas, and also don’t do a quick context check of their own.
Just wanted to add some of that missing context for those that can’t be arsed.
