Last Notes npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Totally agree. I used to have to try and keep my mouth closed, or tuck my chin down when cycling in the summer. Nowadays, I only get a reasonable number of flying insects along forest trails. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Well,that's a bummer. Someone stole my car last night from outside my house. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach "Where is the outrage from these masked men about the disproportionate violence against women and girls? Why is there never any suggestion of vigilante justice against white men who kill the women they purport to love?" npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach "Testing? We don't need no steenking testing!" npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Here we go again. Remember when the US classified encryption as a munition? npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Immigrants also have valid concerns about racism. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Thank you. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Sorry to hear about your in-laws, both of them 🫂 npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Got it now, thank you! npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Link please: npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach My feeling is that, while there are obviously multiple factors at work, a lot of it harks back to the 2008 banking crash. Austerity policies were introduced, and have been kept up ever since, whether or not they call it that. With a variety of scapegoats being used for why peoples lives got worse, teachers' pensions, the EU and lately immigrants, those actually responsible have escaped any penalties. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Oh dear! npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Or, possibly, because the increasing likelihood of a lasting agreement didn't suit the Israeli agenda? npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach There's a lot said about increasing the use of renewables, and that's a good thing. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Took me a while to find this! npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Got it, thanks. So I have henchies. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Question (for clarification): are henchmen minions, or are they mere accomplices? npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/116/110/575/699/495/748/original/2439e1a7bafb49c4.jpg npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Try going for a drive? npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach In the high and far-off days, every single child would be back in the house in time to watch "The Man from UNCLE" because if you missed this weeks episode, that was it. No repeats or catchup from the 2, later 3 channels we had. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Amen to that! npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach I think that, in the current circumstances, dissociation from all US based tech (and that includes machinery and weaponry) is simply prudent. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach If there's a war, you can't hold elections, is that right? npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach An acquaintance of mine was complaining last night when I saw him about the rules. He missed a deadline (his own fault) and now has 10 weeks to come up with £3k for his whatever sort of leave to remain he needs. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach So, if you want to buy stuff, if it's audio or TV related, one of the companies to come out the best is Richer Sounds. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach And also that HMG knows that the country's financial situation is a mess, and doesn't have anyone clever enough (or brave enough?) to make a significant difference. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach I'm still with Harry Patch and his view of Armistice Day. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach I just read in a toot by Jack the Rebel Cat about how the Chancellor could raise some additional funds. It was mentioned that financial services aren't currently subject to VAT. Why ever not? We pay it on fuel, power, insurance premiums, all sorts of things that aren't discretionary purchases. So why should financial services be exempt? npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach "cottage industry" implies the possibility of remuneration. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach https://social-cdn.vivaldi.net/system/media_attachments/files/115/372/284/720/601/408/original/63d599e5df9821db.jpg npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Yes, her actions and the results from those and her colleagues led to a complete change in the approach to ambulance provision, and led to the introduction of paramedics. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Meanwhile, after the Jaguar / Landrover fuck-up, I see Renault have now been hacked. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach In today's bit of good news, the Co-op is selling beer brewed on the Palestinian West Bank: npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach That's lovely! Thank you for sharing! npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Many years ago, I took part in a local library initiative, which involved helping adults with reading difficulties to improve their reading skills. To cut a long story short, I was ashamed of my preconceptions. Many weren't slower people who couldn't read, they'd been let down by the education system, by their families, by society at large. Although the coping strategies they'd developed were impressive. npub1gk3q7yqrwetqnfamm067vyk6dx2tlhc65rzvex3t9ghqsmsaqw9st0r0pc Fragarach Perhaps because the Conservatives attempt to create or continue a "Northern Poorhouse" has always been misspelt? 😏
