Need to know if it was £6k for lots of little chocolate santas, or for just one massive one.

Church weather vanes did used to be useful for orienteering once upon a time, because the cardinal points were calibrated regularly.

I assume that's gone into as much disrepair as everything else now, so it's back to terrible compasses but this time they're on your phone like everything else.

Had a surprise package arrive today and it was my Fudjit order.

Absolutely top notch stuff. The salted pretzel works much better than I was expecting and the milk chocolate has a really lovely smooth texture.

I was in a meeting with a new potential PhD student at ther time so i managed to get some advertising done too.

She's 'hitting out' at the Home Office losing thousands of police records that the ECtHR should probably be expunged anyway are all definitely of child abusers.

I don't know if that's the bad news about Jess, she seems pretty proud of it.

I mean fair play to Irish customs for 10x-ing their usual capacity, even if it meant like a 50% overall freight reduction it shows they were doing at least some prep over the last few years. But just lol at the implications for Britannia

Glad it’s going down well, and has arrived with due haste!

I’ve never actually frozen it, so couldn’t say- but keeping it in the fridge will vastly increase the shelf life (my folks are still working through some of the pre-Christmas batch they kept refrigerated)

though Neil himself has said merely that it will serve the “vast number of British people who feel underserved and unheard”, arguing elsewhere that “the direction of news debate in Britain is increasingly woke and out of touch with the majority of its people”.
One of my friends made the observation on Facebook that "any time someone gets angry and rants about something being 'woke', remember that it's effectively a synonym for 'decent'."

Sorry I thought you were a landlord when I gave you your old avatar!

Does "returning residents" mean UK citizens? Or does it mean residents from a red list country who reside in the UK? Or does it mean anyone from a red list country UK citizen or not?

Fun fact: just over a year ago, a friend and I booked 'the holiday of a lifetime' as it was my 60th birthday year to a faraway land which was supposed to take place in September. Before this happened, I asked of the insurance company to whom I had paid over £100 - what happens if the Faraway Land brings in compulsory quarantine AFTER we have started our journey (which could have happened) and we have to go live in a quarantine hotel in Faraway Land, will the insurance cover that. "No, if the Faraway government imposes quarantine, they will of course pay for it."
Ho hum. Fortunately, the holiday got cancelled (by the airlines and also the country sealed itself from any international travel) and we got all our money back except for the cost of the insurance (which in the end did nothing, our refunds were direct from the airlines and the agents).

I had within the space of a few days an email begging me to join the Labour Party, and one inviting me to stand as a local councillor (in my old constituency).

Real case of mixed messages there.

Send an email back thanking them for the suggestion and say you are now seriously considering standing as an independent candidate now.

It means citizens, essentially. Any other travel from red list countries requires special permission.

Quite possibly, there's a story going around about her expenses at the moment but as it's being boosted mostly by flag usernames on Twitter I'm doubtful of the veracity.
