More members of Truss’s shadow cabinet are in Reform than in Badenoch’s shadow cabinet, which says a lot 😄

When I was out shopping with my daughter when she was small, I’d often drag her into CeX (on the GAME-GAME-Gamestation-CeX tour of our local High St, on which I’m sure she looks back fondly). She would make a big pantomime of holding her breath in CeX due to the CeX smell! Not embarrassing at all…

Tin Man did a Warlock of Firetop Mountain game a few years ago, which came to Switch (very good it was too) but the trailer on the site seems ‘book-ier’ than that? Either way, as an old dick, I am looking forward to this :)

I’m glad you took some time to reflect before making a decision. I’m sure it will be tough but you have my (and the rest of the readership, I’m sure) support, love and goodwill into 2026 and beyond

I picked the wrong year for my subscription to expire on 2nd Jan (will now be renewing!)

My dog often makes me say that 😉.

Absolutely crazy. Norms are a thing of the past. Still three more years, although only 11 months til the midterms 😬

THIS ⬆️ 😄

That being said, I have some noughties Star Wars Lego in the loft that I didn’t get around to building when my daughter was small as I didn’t want her to eat any/shove a brick up a nose/ear etc that I dread to think of the value now (and decline in that value when I eventually open them!)

Some bangers there!

I got the 48k one for Xmas that year. Stupid younger me clearly had no idea how much I was asking my parents to spend😲😳🥹

Cheers, @ianwelby.bsky.social, that’s a great early Christmas gift 😃🎅🏻

“Yes, wonderful things”

I have a ‘no LinkedIn when off work’ rule. Makes for a happier break (and the feeling of being out of the loop on my first day back!)

Of all the vodkas I don’t buy, I don’t buy this the most.
