Am I not supposed to be washing my arse with the duvet???

I’m starting to consider it. Do you have it installed to your house with a proper unit, or a portable one you can use in your room?

We’re staying inside with the kids today. Got the curtains drawn in an attempt to keep the house cool. I always struggle mentally with not being outside and making the most of the sun but I’d just be a sweaty mess and don’t want the kids to burn!

“CUM BY ARGHH MY LORD, CUM BY ARGH”

What on earth were these lyrics?

• Nigel Farage
• JK Rowling
• The twat of a passenger who gave me a wanker sign in another car that was doing about 50mph in a 20 after I pulled out of a junction on a corner where I couldn’t see them until I was already half way across the road

What is it about Java where companies are hesitate to upgrade? Do the Java releases always bring breaking changes or are the companies that use Java have a culture of not prioritising tech upgrades?

It’s this. The company I work for will sign contracts with Royal Mail for 12+ months. It’ll also give their business customers time to potentially switch to alternatives, either pushing people to First Class or maybe the tracked options such as T48.

I wonder why these parties don’t just merge to create a single socialist party. And now Corbyn is starting another one.

I’m not convinced. There’s probably a chunk of people who don’t drive because they kept showing that they weren’t safe enough to drive by failing their test. If the aim is to reduce the barrier to entry for driving because tests are expensive (they’re £62 in the UK, really not that expensive) then those costs will only be countered by way higher insurance premiums as there will be more drivers who can just jump in a car and drive on their own and crash. Also as a driver and pedestrian, I really don’t want to be on the same road as those people.

It’s still just slowly trickling down. Any day now.

so the driving test proves nothing

The driving test proves you can competently drive to a safe standard. I agree that you learn more through experience, but first you need to be able to drive to a particular standard before being allowed to drive on your own.

What’s the alternative if there’s no test? You just allow anyone who reaches the driving age to get in a car and drive on their own?

That sounds like a great evening! Did your neighbours enjoy it too? :D

It was fine, very unremarkable. Really struggling to think of anything of note that happened!

Watched the F1 live on Sunday as I cooked a curry which was nice, I never watch it live these days as it’s impossible with the kids, and I no longer have a way to watch it live (channel 4 broadcast the British GP live).

Where are you where it’s so hot? It’s been pretty cool up here in the north west.

The sound of doing absolutely nothing sounds bliss!

We’re good at heating, but yeah not great at cooling. Thing it it’s only really an issue for maybe 4 or 5 weeks in a year in total. So far.

No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

I think I’m one of those that blocked the bot a long time ago as it would dominate the new feed. I don’t think it adds any value, happy to defed from it.

But why? Is there some kind of reference to something I’m missing?

I don’t get it

That was in Belgium I think.
