HAYES: “2 female reporters asking obviously totally newsworthy Q’s — one gets called ‘PIGGY’ the other gets called ‘INSUBORDINATE’ because she didn’t bow and scrape to the Saudi King.”

I have an idea for a lil fun-traumatic indie game where you play a parent trying to put your newborn to sleep in a pram and you have to avoid all loud noises or the baby wakes up and you LOSE. The only rule is that it’s literally impossible to win. Now I just need to find some nerds to make it…

That final point is absolutely crucial.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Ordered a takeaway last night, by phone and voice of all this, and horrors, they said cash only. Ensuing mad scramble to locate actual hard currency. What kind of monsters do this? I assumed it was only drugs and university assignments that were paid for in cash these days.

Street food festivals would be better if they were like beer festivals, and vendors let people have 1/3 or 1/2 of a full portion for roughly 1/3 or 1/2 of the price. If people wanted a main meal they'd go to a restaurant

I always find the seaside so primordial. Humans hundreds of thousands of years ago had the same experience as us now, kicking sand, skipping over rivulets, watching little fish dart in low tide pools.
