Indeed. There's a notable lack of support for them on here now.

Folklore and Evermore are massively different to anything else she's done. A bit indie in places, with input from the fella from the national and bon iver, plus others. Highly recommend if you haven't checked them out.

Yep. The example has been set. In everything he does. Re the main crisis he's created, we've now shifted from "free up Hormuz or I'll destroy you" to yesterday's confirmation that he actually didn't want that as he realised Iran would benefit from it...but so will India, China, Japan, and all the far eastern emerging economies. I'm not where this is going, but there's no end in sight.

Excellent, cheers Del. We've booked a Belgium/Holland campervan trip for later in the year, and Utrecht is on the list.

Agreed. I'm unsure why he'd shelve a successful career as a silk, likely earning a small fortune, for politics. If he wanted to be successful in public service, with a copper bottomed pension, he could have walked into a judicial gig. It can only be an ego thing.

I'm a quality over quantity man, particularly on shoes, suits, shirts and coats. I've had a cashmere overcoat for a while now that looks as good as new, ditto decent benchgrade shoes. On the latter, you've got to spend £600 plus on a pair of decent Oxfords or Brogues these days, but invest well and they'll last a lifetime.

We'll see. He certainly won't jump, and I'm not sure he'll be pushed. My guess is he'll survive this, but get binned after the locals.

Yep. Blatant cronyism, poor judgement, dishonesty, lack of humility, etc, etc. I'm staggered that Starmer looks like he'll survive this.

People not working, but not looking for work, aren't included in the numbers though. Regardless, I fear it's the calm before the storm.

I'm not sure, but anyone paying £200 for a Polo shirt that looks no better than a £40 Crew one is mental.

They're always a great read. Sometimes a tad inaccurate, but well written, and plenty of dark humour.
