Is there anyone who likes Kier, or is everyone supporting him someone who would see negative career consequences if they didn't? The whole "Kier is a pro-landlord Labour leader" thing made me wonder.

He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Beer Korma.

Found it.. Old dears in 1969 complaining about the new-fangled 7-sided 50p coin (replacing the ten bob note) and how easy it is to mix up with a no-sided, round, 2 shilling (10p) or half crown. (12.5p) Vox pops from Birmingham market. I remember the news being full of it at the time. I was 9 years old. https://www.macearchive.org/films/midlands-news-21101969-new-50-pence-piece Bring back big, old brown pennies. 4 blackjacks for 1d it used to be.

They want you to not spend money so inflation stops going up. But also spend enough money that we don't have a recession. Ideally try and exist in some quantum superposition of spending and not spending.

loving hell, Airbnb is a ballache to use. I just want somewhere to stay, I'm not applying for citizenship so it's a bit unclear why they need two photos of me and my driving licence. You don't get this kind of bollocks with the Premier Inn. Anyway, had to be done as Belfast is a bit on the expensive side. That's the last time I use Airbnb though, absolute turd of a website.

You don't get this kind of bollocks with the Premier Inn. Also it's notorious for pricing people out of their accommodation, because why rent out your place for £600/month when you can put it on AirBnB? I'm fighting a losing battle against these "disruptors" like AirBnB & Uber but gently caress they suck
