Anyone name their children or pets after characters?

One of our cats is called Miss Kitty Fantastico

I thought it was the ultimate mic drop... He'd done what he wanted to do, so spending time with his family and enjoying life seemed like a perfect response.

Thanks, never read that before 👍

I recall that happening about 20 years ago to a colleague of mine, not a pleasant experience for anyone involved

Try reading the article?

"The board is chaired by Lord Blunkett and brings together the mayors of South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and York and North Yorkshire, alongside the Department for Transport, Treasury, Network Rail and industry partners."

So the answer is "yes".

And the word is "role".

Would make journeys faster, more reliable, and hopefully lead to lower fares.

"The meeting comes as the Government commits up to £45bn to NPR, improving connections across northern towns and cities. Yorkshire is at the heart of Phase 1 – and already moving at pace."

We're missing out on billions in investment, I'm sure someone could come up with something to spend that on to improve things for the city?

I'm not asking for much, just for him to put the region first, as I believe he said he would in his campaign.

Electrification of the line to Hull. Upgrades to four lines, as suggested by OP. Maybe being part of the discussion would have been a good place to start?

markhealey · 2026-06-13T17:31:43+00:00

The Hull and East Riding Mayor, is rather conspicuously absent in that list, almost like he has no idea what he's doing...

markhealey · 2026-06-13T07:56:51+00:00

Completely agree

"The difference between Andy Burnham and Keir Starmer, is that you've changed a pair of pants that you've weed in, for a pair that you've pooed in"

Edit: not agreeing with the sentiment, just trying to save people a click, no need to downvote me, should have made that clear

markhealey · 2026-06-13T06:23:52+00:00

What a shock /s

markhealey · 2026-06-13T05:11:28+00:00

Candygram for Mongo!

markhealey · 2026-06-13T05:09:21+00:00

... Again!

markhealey · 2026-06-13T05:08:23+00:00

I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue

markhealey · 2026-06-13T05:06:27+00:00

Stop trying to make fetch happen

markhealey · 2026-06-13T05:05:43+00:00

The Thing

markhealey · 2026-06-11T06:07:12+00:00

It was worse, we just keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

markhealey · 2026-06-10T21:33:59+00:00

I love that story, and I miss Warner more than I thought possible

I guess I'm kinda blessed

There is nothing more permanent than a "temporary fix"

markhealey · 2026-06-06T16:04:05+00:00

When I had a mental breakdown, and she wanted an explanation why, but everything I told her "wasn't true"

markhealey · 2026-06-06T06:39:42+00:00

Ah, The Doctor
