Refugee from the other place.

Mon-Fri: managing risk and Excel-whispering
Sat-Sun: buying as many records as I can carry on a motorbike
Everyday: drinking tea, reading books
When I lived & worked in London it took me about an hour to get to work by car. Also about an hour by train(s). Also about an hour by bicycle. Some sort of glitch in the matrix.

That was 20 years ago so probably 2 hours now.

If you adopt you get all the guidance that, if it had been given to pregnant women instead, might have made adoption unnecessary.
Not to mention all the background checks that are more stringent than for working in a defence company!

374 for me, even though there are only 2 types (according to the owner of Bob's Country Bunker in the Blues Brothers) - "country" and "western"

That would leave Crowded House a bit short-handed, plus a general shortage of drummers with no Zak Starkey, Jason Bonham, Dylan Howe.
And then there is Baxter Dury, Neneh Cherry and a whole load of Wakeman, Kuti, and Marley children who I would hate to lose.

The 2015 film Absolutely Anything has (possibly) a better cast and is worse than HHGTTG

Pegg, Robin Williams, all the Pythons, Izzard, and only about 3 laughs in it.

Also... terrible colour options. Only black & grey. No red or yellow or anything at all exciting.

This is what local journalism should be like, instead of the syndicated clickbaity fluff, peeking out around popup ads that is all too common.

Proper reporting worthy of a Paul Foot award from Private Eye.
