Been hassling Lenovo today, they make lovely laptops that will spontaneously bust out of their bezels and shatter the screen 6 months out of warranty. There's a bunch of angry amazon reviews issued at exactly the same time with exactly the same issue. Asked 'I am explicitly aware that this is out of warranty but since you' ve clearly issued a defective product how about doing something about it?' ' hmm we've checked and it appears you're out of warranty? sorry'.

Unrelated, but you can now get covid vaccines privately. I’d booked through pharmadoctor for April but then found a clinic in Fleet Street with appointments sooner - getting the Pfizer jab on Tuesday.

I decided to splurge £95 for the deluxe mRNA vaccine, rather than £45 for the novovax protein vaccine, which the pharmadoctor pharmacy were offering.

It’s been almost 3 years since my first dose, I forget when my second was, so am glad to finally be getting some protection. With kids at nursery/school I’ve been constantly getting sick.

Say what you like about global nuclear war, it would probably make for some fantastic sunsets.

the few local authorities that have been building significant amounts of new social housing in recent years have been forced by right to buy to sell off more homes than they can build. Seven of Norwich’s newest council homes are already in the process of being sold off, fewer than five years after they were completed.
Other authorities have created subsidiary companies which can be used to rent out homes while remaining exempt from right to buy.

Despite right to buy being so destructive to public finances that it has been abolished in Scotland and Wales, Labour has announced it will keep Thatcher’s policy if it wins the next general election.

Yeah NHS is pretty popular tbh. Not met anyone I think ever who has wanted it sold off.

The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow free movement enjoyed before Brexit to millions of 18 to 30 year olds in a major post Brexit concession.

It said it will now seek approval from individual EU leaders to start the talks which will see one of the most controversial elements of Brexit, a block on the right to live in each others countries visa free, partially eliminated.

It's a fallow year for my ward, so I only have a PCC candidate to vote for out of a selection of Tory, LD or Labour. It's also raining outside. I'm probably not going to cast my vote.
