I wonder why many women runners with long hair don't pin it into tight buns and topknots like the gymnasts do. I would have thought it would make them a fraction more aerodynamic than letting it stream all over the place.

What's happened to all the fucking swearing?

Entry just sent. Thanks for running this again.

Pretending that people never existed is pathetic and pointless.

I may have said this before. You never know where an entertaining fight may break out, so FOMO makes me click on every thread.

The expiry date on the covid tests delivered yesterday is 2024 - 10 - 11 I can't tell if that means October or November.

Sorry, Kate.

Then Age UK should be helping them. Isn't that what they're for? Anyway isn't part of the new measures going to be making it easier for people to get pension credit.

Nothing to do with what I wrote, then. They say "Means testing the winter fuel allowance will hit some of the poorest in society the hardest . They include 800,000 people who are entitled to claim pension credit but do not do so." Well, those 800,000 people can still get it, can't they? No one else's fault if they don't bother to claim it. I've always thought it was ridiculous for everyone to get it, including the richest people in the country.

You quoted me. What's your point?

You're right. This is a very obvious saving to be made and I don't begrudge it at all. I didn't need mine last year, so I put it into Premium Bonds in case I needed it later. It's already won me an extra £100 It's not just a low income. They take savings into account, above a certain amount you don't get pension credit.

There's no good reason for not showing it. I can't see the justification for pretending certain people never existed because they've done something wrong. If there was any consistency to it, much of history would be wiped.

Oh, what a shame. Crem's Dad is going to take it out of his pocket money.

That does sound like it's not just teenagers.

I've been busy, went to see Bruce Springsteen at Wembley twice and now have Covid But I should be able to get team in by the deadline.

HG Tudor did a series on Sinead's life and character after her death. It is very interesting and I had no idea what an appalling and traumatic childhood she endured. Here's the conclusion, but the whole playlist is here if you want to hear the full story. Here's the conclusion. You can scroll quickly through the transcript if you don't have time to listen. So does he think she was a narcissist?

Where is this going to end? It was a totally inoffensive jest.

Falaise, to be precise.
