Actually doing Whamageddon at Christmas is a moral failing, you should be listening to Last Christmas at least once a day if not ten

This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

This is seriously worrying - do read the whole thread
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

Keep seeing people upset about the “Mansion Tax” potentially ruining their retirement, there’s actually a very simple solution for you: you need to stop getting lattes from Starbucks, cancel your Netflix subscription and gym membership, oh and stop having avocados.
Hope this helps x

Could Starmer watch a video on his phone with volume on full blast, no headphones, on a train, next please?
If you want some good news this morning, I showed my three boys the PM doing the six/seven thing and now they have all stopped doing it.

This country seems to have a bottomless well of sympathy towards asset rich pensioners and only contempt for anyone under 50 who is putting half their income into paying their landlords fourth mortgage and a big chunk of the rest into skyrocketing bills.
Look it’s never nice to find yourself in a position of having to move when you don’t want to but given that due to the volatility of the London housing market I have had to move FIVE TIMES since 2020 I’m struggling to feel very sympathetic towards people whose ’problem’ is a paid off 2mil property.

Tax on people that stand directly in the ticket barrier and only then decide to get their card out of their handbag/pocket/whatever.
Tax on people who say 'does that mean it's free then' if a barcode won't scan, then repeat themselves so the person at the till has to fake an amused grunt as they try to key in a really long number printed in tiny type
