Anyone played the various 'you run the budget' games?

Quickly become clear that it's economically sensible to *protect the workers and those in need* and *tax the sods who make money off the back of the first lot*.

Indiana Jones 5 - The Time Travel Bollix is one of the best films in the series if you ignore PWB.

Just landed the biggest challenge in history from God.

He asked me to appear as three ghosts on Christmas Eve...to Donald Trump.

I've had a rougharsed year.
I've been shown *incredible* love by my friends though.

I'm having a night away from home, I've needed it.
Spa, beers, quiet contemplation in a church, exciting work meeting, fun, shopping, and tomorrow Granger Market, more Spa, more yummy food and nosing around shops 😁

“Location, location, location. Of few towns could those words be more appropriate than of #Stirling ... described as ‘the brooch which clasps the Highlands & the Lowlands together’ and situated at what, until recent times, was the first crossing of the Forth.” Stirling 1860 notes by Alan Godfrey.

Starmer is just a focus group in a suit. He’s running the country like it’s the X Factor and he’ll get voted out every week if he’s not racist enough.

Trying to tell the JSA people that I have a change in circumstances...why is it only on the phone? Why can't I change my claim online?

As I'm trying to cancel my claim I get an email saying the process has started, but no link to it. Ach.

Urgh. It happened again.
On the phone to sort out a boiler repair. Towards the end of the conversation... *The Question.*
"So, your name...you heard of...?"

"Yes" I sigh, in a tired but kind way. "He has become a kind of inspiration to not be like him. He has my name and says such shitty things."

Like many places in the NW of England, the shadow of Ireland looms large over Holyhead, as discussed at interesting length by Alan Godfrey on our Holyhead 1923 map. Unlike ‘the largest Irish city’ – Liverpool, few Irish seemed to have settled in Holyhead, passing on to other places, like London.

Few maps have changed as much as #Swansea (North) 1897, from one set of uses to another.
Unlike housing estates marching across fields, farms & forests, today’s map has radically altered from heavy industry into light shopping and entertainment. The beautiful #Cymric names are still there though.

Any moots travel by train in Europe?
Here's the thing: I can get the train to within about 5km of where I'm staying, and journey time from London is ~12 hours with 3 changes.

So it's (mostly) not much slower than flying, except I also have to get to London.

Do I know anyone who travels regularly in Europe by train?
