For Oliver, being back at preschool, playing with his little brother and going on adventures might sound like ordinary childhood moments. But after more than 200 nights in hospital with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, they mean everything ❤️

Today is World Lymphoma Day ❤️

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that affects the immune system.

There are two main types - Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Some grow quickly and others more slowly.

More than 14,000 people are diagnosed each year in the UK.

Dear Labour

You literally don’t understand why construction companies aren’t building masses of houses! And why they won’t do what you tell them.

Let me help you.

▪️There aren’t enough builders, bricks, or cement. Businesses forecast years in advance for developments. They can’t ramp up in a year.

▪️Developers have cash flow and budgets, unlike the government they can’t print money and double in size in a year. And you just screwed the economy by raising taxes and minimum wage.

▪️From 2027, imported raw materials like steel and cement face a new carbon taxes of up to 24%. Gained can pretend he’s saving the planet) Developers have no idea what the hit will be. And so cannot build blind.

▪️If housing isn’t financially viable, builders won’t build. Labour is demanding cheap entry level homes. But developers make little profit on these, so little that only building these will mean they can’t pay the wage bill! So they have mixed price developments. Higher priced houses aren’t selling because the economy is wankered (technical term)

▪️The state of the economy means huge job insecurity, why would Developers risk over supplying a market that is stagnant?

▪️New house building and completions are down in many places because over supply will see a collapse in prices and developers would make a loss. It would be insane for a business to plan to make a loss.

▪️ net zero targets have left thousands of finished homes unable to be connected to the grid! Brilliant. Why would house builders risk building and not being able to sell because they can’t get electricity.

Had Labour had any business experience or economic knowledge they would know that councils have to heavily subsidise new developments … but they have no money!

Governments can’t force businesses to harm themselves. It’s an idiotic promise made because you don’t understand how profit works.

You’re welcome

@leefer3 You’re doing really well Lee……well done, I had stage 4 non Hodgkin Lymphoma (transformed into my bowel) which has left me with stomach cramps following a stoma/ileostomy reversal and thought it had come back earlier this year, but the scans said otherwise

@leefer3 Very good Manager, with an excellent Town squad, especially with Alan Mayes & Andy Rowlands upfront, and if they were injured then Paul Gilchrist or Chic Bates would deputise

Keanu Reeves a fêté ses 62 ans le 2 septembre 2026.

Sandra Bullock, sa partenaire dans le film Speed, dit de lui :

« Son père l’a abandonné lorsqu’il avait trois ans, sa fille est morte à l’âge de huit mois, sa compagne est décédée dans un accident de voiture, son meilleur ami a succombé à une overdose… Et malgré tout cela, il n’a jamais perdu sa lumière, son monde ne s’est jamais effondré.

Lors du tournage de The Lake House, il a surpris une conversation entre deux assistants : une femme en pleurs expliquait qu’elle risquait de perdre sa maison si elle ne payait pas 20 000 dollars. Keanu a aussitôt transféré l’argent sur son compte.

Avec les gains de la trilogie Matrix, il a offert plusieurs millions de dollars à l’équipe des effets spéciaux, qu’il considérait comme les véritables héros du film.

Refusant de recourir aux cascadeurs sauf pour les scènes les plus dangereuses, il a remercié chacun de ces “héros” en leur offrant une moto Harley-Davidson.

Aujourd’hui encore, il se déplace en métro ou en bus quand c’est plus pratique, sans jamais éprouver de honte.

De nombreux hôpitaux affirment avoir reçu des dizaines de millions de dollars de sa part. Pour certains films, il a accepté de renoncer à 90 % de son salaire afin de permettre à la production d’embaucher d’autres acteurs.

En 1997, un paparazzi l’a surpris assis dans la rue à côté d’un sans-abri, partageant son petit-déjeuner et écoutant son histoire.

Tout ce que nous savons de Keanu Reeves, ce n’est pas lui qui nous l’a dit, mais les personnes qui ont bénéficié de son aide et de sa générosité. Il n’a jamais cherché à en parler.

Malgré toutes les épreuves qu’il a traversées, il aurait pu adopter une vision sombre et désespérée de la vie. Mais non : il a choisi de rester un homme bon, dans un monde qui ne l’est pas toujours. »

Plus qu’un acteur talentueux, Keanu Reeves est un véritable modèle d’humilité et de générosité ❤️🙏

What??? This is so see through, of course the press will ignore the biggest part of this story!

under the guise of ‘protecting’ people from bad builders the gov is launching an app.

The new government “Trusted Payments” system to stop ‘cowboy builders’ will create an extraordinarily detailed digital record every time you use it for work on your home including…

▪️Your name and address
▪️Exactly what work is being done
▪️Contracts and quotes
▪️The cost of the work
▪️Payment milestones
▪️Photographs and snagging records
▪️Payment approvals and transaction records

And on the business

▪️Identity and business details
▪️Bank/payment information
▪️Business and tax numbers
▪️All work they carry out

So a simple private transaction between you and your builder becomes a structured digital record of WHO you are, WHERE you live, WHAT you are doing to your property and HOW MUCH you are spending on it!

You would be insane to voluntarily share this data with a government tying up data between all departments, creating a massive file on you!

Come on people Wakey Wakey!
