Holy poo poo they're still clapping, and a foghorn's just gone off on the Thames. I'm actually, genuinely, moved by this. I think there's a lot of anxiety and isolation and people are just relieved to be doing *something*.

Exactly that. I’m almost moved to tears tbh. This is the first proper expression of solidarity I’ve ever seen here.

It’s still going on

Nothing here but then I face onto a small enclosed communal garden and 6 flats face onto it, mostly occupied by people in their late 80s who probably have zero idea this is happening, 2 ducks who have commandeered the garden pond and a river.

UV-C tubes are ace for killing the poo poo out of everything (this includes your skin and eye cells). I made a breadbox ages ago that ran one for 5 minutes after each time you closed the lid/door/thing on it and it stopped bread from going moldy very well. Doesn't stop it going stale though.

I keep meaning to use one to make a water sterilizer, because 2mm of standard soda glass blocks >99% of mercury vapor line UVC, so it's safe to run one inside a water jug. The tube I got for that last year is being put to other uses at the moment though.

Are you saying I'm tax evading? That's economic advice from my accountant that pretty much everyone in the same boat follows, so that the other ~£4k is in there towards guess what? Corporation Tax on what my business pulls in and dividend tax that's increased a fuckload in the last few years.

*shrug* it rings very hollow when I know that a majority of them will still vote for the tories to gently caress up the people they supposedly love today.

If you don't feel that way then I'm not going to tell you you shouldn't, because whatever makes you happy, but it's not something I can really share.

Making a mass public gesture of support is a good start for that though, you can really make a person feel lovely if you can pin them down on showing support for something but not being willing to help in any way.

its tax avoidance, not evasion, and thats basically what tax accountants do yeah.
its legal but is it moral thats a question?

Thank you for getting this response in as I'm too many pages behind to do so. He's a drat good clown and all kids could benefit from learning some Makaton.

Also special shoutout to Steve Kynman (Robert the Robot on Justin's House) who's a really talented performer but rarely gets to show it. The episode where Justin loses his voice is top work.

Want there some urban legend that he also stopped some Americans from attacking a Russian airbase during Kosovo?

I think the story goes that he was the commander of a unit that were told to take an airfield, but the Russians had already taken it and he refused to attack them or something. It's sometimes hyped up as "the time James Blunt prevented world war 3", but probably a myth as you say.

oh cool everyone does it, that makes it OK then

at a time when the NHS is under more stress than it's ever been maybe you should reconsider your and your accountant's position that funding public services is something that only other people should be doing
