Maybe that's why we're going through conservative PMs at a record rate, so they can stuff the lords.

Joke's on them, the Labour peers are even worse.

Best party in the Lords is the SNP

Seems that James Cleverly's brother is involved in some fun financial fraud.

Theoretically you can go straight from school aged 16 with three A levels and a law degree is four years. In practice, though, no.

Yeah I'm well aware that it's live broadcasts only, but that doesn't stop the cunts basically flat out lying about it. I just had the 2 year renewal form come up again and it pisses me off every year how many dark patterns are used in the form to try to trick you into thinking you need one.

The enforcement lot are cunts and it is this stuff that convinced me not to have one when back when I should have. Those days are long gone, though, since broadcast TV is poo poo.

I think everyone who drinks in any of the several 'Spoons in Dublin should have their passports confiscated. I'm just hoping that they all go out of business and become more Correct venues because they're actually pretty sympathetic renovations of nice buildings

My three year old relative demanded adamantly, for the last evening snack, to eat something "that makes a sound". Some suitable crisps were found and all was well. Crunchy sounds produced, kid happy

I'm lucky that my family are basically all pretty ok (especially the three year olds)

Well that's my holiday story thanks for listening

I went to somewhere that had an app to order and it was loving stupid, just have a list of things you cook and I will ask for what I want rather than trying to make a stupid loving app work.

Spoons would be pretty good if they didn’t aggressively put other pubs out of business as part of their main strategy. Cheap food and drink in fairly nice surroundings.

This might be a regional thing, all the ones I’ve had have been pretty acceptable! I think maybe some actually fry the chips and others just microchip it? The Benedict is indeed pretty alright. The steaks are absolutely unbelievably bad.
