Like Iâve said before, and Iâll say it again, since you seem to have problems comprehending the subject matter đ
I donïżœïżœt KNOW Jo very well, but I DO know where sheâs coming from, and 2+2 have ALWAYS made FOUR to me!! It ainât that deep!! You only have a problem with her because we met without anything to do with you, and THAT is what your REAL âproblemâ is!! You like loads of people I wouldnât piss on if they were on fireâŠAND?? Get a fukkin grip and keep it moving, youâre starting to look obsessed dear!! đ
I'm having a job done in my flat and was quoted ÂŁ250 by the decorator. I sent him the money yesterday but he's had to come back today to finish. He's done a brilliant job and I'm very happy.
At the end he called me to tell me it wasn't as difficult a job as he thought it would be, so it was only worth ÂŁ200 - and he has refunded me ÂŁ50!
I'm speechless. Has that ever happened before to anyone?! He is brilliant and deserves lots of work. If anyone in north London needs a decorator, let me know and I'll give you his details.
Our horsebox was stolen today from our yard in Exeter Road, Newmarket between 12 noon and 3.30pm. If anyone has any information as to its whereabouts we would be very grateful to hear from you. All shares very much appreciated.
For the next two days, we will pause our satire and share clips celebrating Ann Widdecombeâs greatest moments. Ann was a fearless champion of free speech, and her words feel more relevant than ever.
Please join us in paying tribute to her.

21 years in Policing, my career ended in 2020 due to injuries sustained on duty.
I do not recognise what British policing has become.
It stopped asking "is this right?" and started asking "how will this look?" Two tier policing on race, religion and the police being used as a political tool.
Here is what that costs. đ§”
To the London black cab driver who found me bloodied in the chaos of central London and drove me all the way to Reading: thank you.
Thank you for cleaning my face. For the sugary tea at the BP garage. For delivering me safely to my friend's front door and refusing to charge me a single penny.
In the trauma of that day, I never asked your name. I donât think I even thanked you properly, and I am so sorry for that. But I hope you know that I remember you every single year.
You were a hero when London needed one most.

With my second daughter whom I lost due to in large part severe hyperemnesis gravidarum, the state insurance refused to pay for zofran because it was to expensive at the time. I lost her, and ended up with something called Wernickeâs encephalopathy from severe thiamine deficiency.
Due to three pregnancies with HG my teeth just crumbled. They wouldnât pay to fix them, but paid to pull them out. When I got dentures they made them horribly, and I was unable to eat with them. They told me they were cosmetic, not functional. And that I just had to deal with it.
Need actual healthcare? Nope sorry. Want fake tits and estrogen so you can live out your fetish? Sure we will pay for everything.
the fact that men like this are able to get this shit paid for by state dollars, makes me want to revolt.
When I was 6 years old I realised I was supposed to be born a girl. This belief lasted until I was about 10 or 11. Lots of gay boys experience this. Of course, it turned out just to be my misunderstanding my future homosexuality.
If this bill were law today, and as a 6 year old I expressed to my parents (or anyone) the ârealisationâ that I was a girl in the wrong body, and if in response they CORRECTLY suggested âthatâs just you misunderstanding your future homosexualityâ and didnât affirm my simplistic childish belief, their actions would be illegal. The test being my distress at the conversation (a conversation I most likely wouldnât understand at 6).
This bill is a homophobic hellscape. Itâs just awful.
How can its proponents not see the problem? exact parents they want
I walk a lot of routes on and around the
A5 / Watling Street in this part of Northamptonshire. It always makes me think about how many people travelled this same line through the landscape before me.
So I made an imagined walk through time. From ancient trackway to Roman road, medieval route, coaching road, Victorian lane and modern A5.
Not a 100% historically accurate reconstruction, but a visual way of showing the deep history of this area.
One road.
Two thousand years of footsteps.
So who's this dashing bugger, looking like he's ready and willing to prompt a pipe-smoking revival?
It's Gerald Finzi. Finzi would have been 125 this fortnight (born on the 14th of July, 1901). He's remembered, when he's remembered at all, as the composer who set Thomas Hardy and Wordsworth to music with a certain tenderness that still catches people off guard in concert halls.
He should also be remembered for his apples. He had rather a lot of them.
Because, in 1939 Finzi and his wife built a house at Ashmansworth, on the Hampshire downs, and there he planted an orchard. He didn't plant it for decoration. Over the years he gathered and grew close to 400 varieties of English apple, many of them old, regional, and slipping out of cultivation altogether. The sort of fruit that had been grown in one valley for 200 years and was known to perhaps a dozen living people. Several would have gone out of the world for good had he not hunted them down and given them ground. Some grow still, at the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale: Baxter's Pearmain, Norman's Pippin, Morris's Russet, kept alive because one man thought they were worth the trouble.
Finzi knew about disappearance from a place within. In 1951 he was told he had Hodgkin's disease and perhaps ten years to live; he had, in the end, five. He spent them composing - the Cello Concerto comes from those last years - and tending the orchard, and broadcasting appeals for other people to find and save the varieties he couldn't reach himself. A man with a shortening life, spending it on fruit that would outlive him in soil he would never see again be worked.
There's a particular carelessness a great country can fall into about its own inheritance. When its creations live so furiously that they become the matter of land and air and matter all around it, it stops noticing what it has made in the way that those with more sparse inheritances might. The song, the orchard variety, the parish church, the dialect word, the way of doing a thing that took 300 years to refine - all of it starts to feel like clutter, weightless, easy to let go, because no one can quite remember what it was for. Finzi ran the other way. He gave an obscure apple and an unfashionable poet exactly the same seriousness: things that were good, and real, and would be lost if nobody troubled to keep them. The instinct to make a thing and the instinct to keep one alive turned out, in him, to be a single instinct; and a civilisation in decent health tends to carry a good deal of both.
Put one of the Hardy songs on this week, if you fancy. And if you're ever near Brogdale in the autumn, the apples he saved are still there, and they're still good.
Hey, @TrentBridge my daughter was forced to leave the match today because of the sexualised abuse hurled at her by a group of 6 men. She's distraught. As we know their seat numbers are you able to address this?
1. đšBREAKING: County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has paid ÂŁ187,000 in damages, apologised, and committed to separate changing facilities for male and female staff following the Darlington nursesâ legal case.
In January, the Employment Tribunal had found the nurses suffered harassment and indirect sex discrimination over workplace changing-room arrangement.
The case, brought by seven nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital, Bethany Hutchison, Lisa Lockey, Karen Danson, Tracy Hooper, Annice Grundy, Carly Hoy and Jane Peveller, was supported by the Christian Legal Centre, which has provided the nurses with legal, media and pastoral support from the beginning of their ordeal.
The case has become one of the most significant legal challenges in recent years concerning the freedom of female staff to access single-sex spaces in the workplace, with the nurses being compared to the Ford Dagenham workers and being dubbed âThe Angels of the North.â
In January, Employment Judge Seamus Sweeney, ruled that the policy, which had been in place at the Trust for years allowing men who identify as women to access the female staff changing room, had amounted to unlawful discrimination.
Following extensive and at times deeply protracted negotiations, the Trust has now paid out ÂŁ187,000 in damages to the nurses, which does not include legal costs, which are still to be decided at a further hearing.
This figure also does not include the Trustâs own legal costs of £603,000, and counting, spent on defending its position of allowing men into female changing rooms.

This is one of the best illustrations of what socialism (in any form) does to the poor. It promises a ladder of programs & benefits but canât lift people out of poverty. No country on earth has made the poor better off under socialist governments.
From @ForWomenScot:
If women were convicted of serious offences over 4 years at the same rate as trans-identified males, there would be at least 10,000 women in prison instead of 77.
This clearly shows why single-sex prisons are essential.
