This is an ad on my timeline: While folk can barely make ends meet, this is symptomatic of the wealthy disconnect that says avoid paying tax. You know, the tax that would pay for better schools, hospitals, slash waiting lists, install decent border controls and defend the nation against foreign warmongers.

I was reading some discussions of this years Oscars ceremony elsewhere on the Internet and a few people pointed out that Warren Beatty was not with his Oscar nominated wife Annette Benning at the ceremony. Might be something. Might be nothing but definitely worth mentioning.

I had a letter from her today - well, not her personally but on her behalf. It was to thank me for something we did locally to mark her birthday (9 January). Letter was dated 23 Feb so it must have fallen down behind the throne or summat. I think it must have been composed even earlier as it wished us a Happy New Year.

It always cracks me up how drol is so pissed off when someone survives.

Discharged. Of course, of fucking course.

Agree, she's gorgeous. William's punching. Shook her hand just over a decade ago when she was still plain old Kate Middleton, for another week at least.

Yes, and Liz Truss and Keir Starmer, cos ppl like to have rants that nobody reads on here. Still, two wrongs don't make a right in this case. There's zero evidence to assume she has anything that will affect her health long term.

Tommy Duncan, former outside left for Airdrie who became manager of Queens Park, reportedly dead:

Really nice. Wants to make me listen to her debut album again, especially I loved "Christine":
