Aye I've stalled a bit on the last one, but not cos it's no good, I just haven't had a chance to read. Very good though.

They retired my bow tie when I left. It's in a glass case above Bar 3.

It evens more familiar does it? Fuuuuuucking hell.

The renamed it Bliss on my appointment, at the request of the female clientele.

Bitch I worked in Bliss. And I was significantly less cheerful than the lad in the second gif.

The Ritzy / Studio?

My advice: stop following it. These fucking nutcases have been doing this shit for our entire lives. It's absolutely miserable and incredibly sad that a lot of normal civilians are bearing the brunt of it. These little men and their stupid religions and power plays can all get absolutely fucked. But for your own mental health, you're better off just switching off from it.

Don't read all of this article cos there's stuff in there that you should find out just by watching. I posted it cos I knew it had had a good rating.

Watch Into The Fire. It's really good. Two part doc.

My lass had it on so I was sort of background watching it and it was a significant upgrade on her usual kaka.

Possibly, I personally found it not to be suitable for anyone not wanting the absolute tits bored off them.

Stick to THE ONE SHOW, quimflaps.

The Bear S3 is great. Probably not as good as the first two, but still quality TV.

Do you listen to the News Agents America, Rents? And if so, do you find them weirdly gushing about Trump? The episode this week about how him ranting about people eating pets, and their claim that this has been a really clever and good move by Trump cos it's focused minds on immigration!? The polls are shifting markedly in Harris's favour, and yet these two are like "wow check out the big brain on Donald!" I find their thirst for drama, particularly when it comes to Trump, takes them down some odd paths at times.

It did fuck all for him last time, and he doesn't have the photo op this time either. Anyway, undecided voters aren't gonna go "wow another attempt on Trump. I better vote for him." People are bored of it, I reckon. Can you imagine having to watch the news that day. The endless stories of a rifle barrel poking through a bush, without even the payoff of a shot being fired or a photo of the prick punching the air. That second attempt will change even less than the first one did.

Harris +5 in Pennsylvania and Michigan in two new polls. Obviously it's only one poll in each state, but it's indicative of the wider trend since the debate.

Aye she 100% is getting underpaid.

This non story about Sue Gray getting paid more than Starmer ffs. I've worked with consultants on £2k a day and they weren't tasked with running an entire government operation on behalf of the PM. Also spoilers lads, the PM is not exactly getting paid the market rate for running an entire country. There isn't a major CEO in this country that would take the cut to their pay packet that becoming PM would entail.

Genuinely rather be Team Jordan than be on that neanderthal wet lettuce fake intellectual looking HELMET, Keown. Jordan talking sense for once.

https://www.economist.com/interactive/us-2024-election/trump-harris-polls/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/ Two poll aggregators. The economist one has a prediction model too which has shifted back to giving Harris a 60% chance. Still dead close, and it's the swing states that count but there's been a marked shift since the debate.

Oof, me and CT have synchronised our rating systems. Worried about this.

I'll give that a read cheers. Gonna buy it now before I forget. 👍
