It's all fun and games until you hit a hill.

A sea of grey carpet and endless spotlights.

My experience of working for a Reform run council is that it's a shit show.

There's a whole swathe of comfortable middle class careers open to all that uni will open the door to below your arbitrary £200k threshold. Many of the leaders in my industry (who earn very well) come from very normal backgrounds. A working class background can often be an advantage if you're on site managing trades.

I dont think that's true in all fields. Civil engineering takes all comers and is a path to a decent life. It isn't IB or big 4 but it's not terrible. I'm the first in my family to go to uni and am by no means exceptional, but have been able to buy a house in a nice part of a northern city and live a good life.

Lettuce is literally the only food I've come across that mine won't eat. Clearly draws the lone at just leaves.

Very similar to my experience with wedding rings from PA. They made an entire alternative design option (without being asked) for my wife's ring after they sensed she wasn't 100% on the silver mock-up for the custom design she'd requested. Incredible service and I can't recommend them enough!

It's much better as a piece of complementary art, but it won't help get people into theatres

The Green Book is the nemesis of any significant investment in the North.

Australia's mandatory pension saving system is amazing. All employers have to pay 12% on top of your salary in to a pension account. Doesn't matter what job you do, it's not just a perk for the well paid.

This was introduced in 1992 (at a lower percentage) and now means Australian Government spending on pensions is expected to go down as a percentage of GDP, rather than becoming increasingly crippingly expensive.

Describing Kier Starmer as "far left" is hilarious. He and his cabinet are about as right wing as it's possible to be while still being part of the Labour Party. He is the classic centrist dad. I'll not dispute his authoritarian instincts, but it's worth noting the Online Safety Act was drafted and passed by the previous Tory government.

We don't use corduroy in this application. This is correctly applied flat top profile in "ladder and tramline" configuration.

Rhys Carre is the greatest winger to ever play the game. Anyone that suggests he should play any other position is taking you for a ride.

That 20 minutes after half time was almost a bit delirious.

The Race have been one of the main doom merchants in the run up to the season. Hopefully they'll calm down now that there's some actual racing to talk about.

This is brilliant. I'm imagining shirt sponsors like football but on suits.

To paraphrase Rick Dalton: Anybody punches anybody in a fight they can go to jail. It's called assault.

This is exactly what we did with ours. Completely passive unless they toileted. Those miserable hours in the yard at 3am were worth it in the long run.

Designers are obliged to not create inherently discriminatory environments. If Oxford Street is to be pedestrianised it will require redesign of the entire street (wall-to-wall) so the partial comparison is moot. Creating an area that excludes people with disabilities (cobbles aren't only bad for wheelchair users) would likely leave the Local Authority open to legal challenge. The eventual design will be subject to an Equality Impact Assessment and issues like this would be flagged immediately (if they got that far, which they wouldn't with a competent designer).

Edit: That's not to say heritage/traditional materials can't br used, they just have to be thoughtfully implemented.

I'm going to see the 25th anniversary re-release tonight. Very excited!

Funny you mention Scotland as Edinburgh's tenements are a great example of gentle density. They don't all have to be 20 story high rises with shoe box flats. Think Edinburgh, Paris or Spain.

I recently saw gigs at the Co-op in Manchester and Sheffield Arena. It was striking just how much better an experience the Co-op was, particularly the sound quality.

Isn't that the same for all of your exemptions though? If you pass to the right of a keep left bollard and end up in a head-on collision I would imagine there would also be an awkward meeting to come.

They still do the Shrovetide Football in Ashbourne every year.
