@Plusnet Meant to get our internet installed today after waiting 4 weeks. Partner booked time off work to be there. Engineer couldn't do it as he didn't bring correct ladders. Why wasn't he prepared, or why did no one check? Already paid 1st month so would like to complain please

Happy 55th birthday to the legend, PJ Harvey. A truly fearless, unpredictable artist that's never played by the rules. With her subversive songwriting, captivating voice & versatile catalog she is one of the most influential female artists of the past 30 years.

Woman drugged and raped by almost 100 men for a decade. Another woman strangled and her body blended into a puree. Yet you men still won't (and I mean WON'T) acknowledge the very real epidemic of male violence towards women. LOOK at what we live in fear of, for FUCK sake.

Pornhub is deleting videos with 'sleep/sleeping' in the title and now sends a warning message about how the content is illegal/nonconsensual when people search for sleeping videos

Thank you to Gisele Pelicot and every woman who's fought to make this world a safer place for women

Honestly the best piece of advice I can give to younger girls trying to figure life out is to completely ignore men. I'm not being quirky or cute when I say that, I mean it seriously. Ignore men's judgments of you, ignore their insincere compliments, ignore their half-assed romance.
Focus on developing yourself. Practice your art, play sports, do theater, volunteer, spend time with your friends, but do not put substantial effort into pleasing men. They'll be there for you to pursue when the time comes and if you want to. But nothing will waste your youth more than fighting for male acceptance.

Sinead was a force of nature. A brilliant songwriter & performer whose talent we will not see the like of again. Such passion, such intense presence & a beautiful soul, who battled her own personal demons courageously. Be at peace dear Sinead, you will forever be in our hearts. t

Shame on Glastonbury for cutting off #LanaDelRey when others were still playing elsewhere. No word, no warning, no respect? The GRACE of her going down to meet fans and sing along, I can't. I'm so gutted for her and the crowd. This should have been more.
