Imperial @ImperialCollege staff are on strike today and tomorrow.
We don’t take this action lightly — but management have left us no choice.
Our demand is simple: a fair, inflation-proof pay rise for all staff.

In person bridge is restricted to about once a month these days but lovely to be able to play in the West London Gay Bridge Club Swiss teams event yesterday. Thanks to all involved in organising a super event!

[Vijay_Tymms @Fuzzel76]

Best of luck!

@johnarmstrong5 Swear I'm not stalking you this weekend but I was there at more or less the same time on a family stroll...

Yesterday, the Joint Trade Unions at Imperial College London ACCEPTED the College's 2024-25 pay award, thereby ending a 3 year trade dispute over pay.

@barneyfarmer Is that bus the start of Nightmare on Elm Street 2?

@ianpacemain 😅

@jeellss @eathedocument That pretty much aligns with what I'd go with, would add Modern Times for a 5th one.

@p_malkie @eathedocument Finally, someone saying Shot of Love, been scrolling down to see someone say it.

My 4 year old son asked me to draw his favourite song on the blackboard at my work. @tmbg and @paranoiacs will appreciate this.

@OOCSnooker O'Sullivan
Alex Higgins
Hendry
Davis
John Higgins
Trump
White
Murphy

Don't normally do these, but it was fun to think about and it seemed weird that Alex H, Hendry, Davis & White weren't featuring on others' choices.

@darran310 @OOCSnooker This is the correct answer

@davecl42 Got my annual viewing in yesterday. Merry Christmas DC!

[Vijay_Tymms @Fuzzel76]

@LibrariannB Haha, I'm definitely getting some of them!

[Vijay_Tymms @Fuzzel76]

@JordanaBlejmar Lo siento. Espantoso.

[Vijay_Tymms @Fuzzel76]

@paranoiacs "way better than it needed to be" is a good way of looking at it

[Vijay_Tymms @Fuzzel76]

Celebrating two years since having COVID by being completely floored with it again, and I can report that it is still horrible. Please take care everyone!

[Vijay_Tymms @Fuzzel76]

My turn for the "be careful out there" message": I've got COVID and it's really not nice. I'm double-jabbed, wear a mask and ain't been socialising much cos I'm both introverted & misanthropic. Please take care folks X

@ATRightMovies Right at the end of the of the 1996 Cronenberg adaptation of Crash when someone shouted out "What a shit film!" when the credits started to roll. It provided a much needed outlet of amusement for the whole audience (or those that stayed for the whole film at least).

[Vijay_Tymms @Fuzzel76]

@ATRightMovies @strangersrage Yeah, it got big LOLs in the cinema I watched it in as well.
