So I bought some #Huel greens (£50). I'm not sure what to make of it, tbh. It seems to have a slight metallic after taste. For my palate, maybe I need a bit more than a flat scoop, as it tastes watery. Finally, I'm wondering if you're supposed to drink the whole lot in one go. I thought you sipped at it? 🤷♂️
I'll carry on, though. I need to, I've got fifty quids worth.🤣
The attached image is a bit out of date (Labour 406 seats). I saw a projection yesterday that Labour would gain 526 seats. My own view is the Greens are pathetic, LidDem are useless, SNP (Who?) NI, Plaid and the rest of the Heinz 57 lot will never be able to form a viable safety net. Having said that, who knows what will happen on polling day? We've seen the pollsters get it massively wrong before.
Remember children. While you were busy making as many posts as possible to "Get the Tories out", you let Farage in!
Don't forget to thank all those who relentlessly slagged the Conservatives off across all the Social Media platforms, including biased journalists, on the 4th of July. You deserve all you get.

I can beat that. I'd like us to go back to the medieval "Hundreds" system, but also 100 dwellings that elect a representative for said Hundred, who in turn select a representative for the county. That way you'd be truly represented otherwise you'd nip round to number 87 and put your representatives windows through. 🤣
For the love of The Pond Gods! Is that the best she can think of saying?
A better comment would be: "Phew! Now the rozzers are leaving me alone I'm allowed back on the bus."

It's a shame #Labour won't let Dianne Abbot stand as a candidate. She's such a brilliant advertisement for the #Conservatives. Who wouldn't want someone in control who doesn't know what shoe goes on what foot?
See, I told you Labour doesn't know what it's doing. 😉
So the two-horse race for the #generalelection2024 has started and already Rishi Sunak has made two mistakes. I have to agree with @peston's first prediction of a November election this would have given more time for interest rates to come down along with fuel and food. There would have been more time for more than just one person to enjoy the scenery of Rwanda. Secondly, why didn't he wait for 8 or 9 am this morning when there was less chance of looking like the gods were pissing all over him. #politics
For crying out loud! I wish I'd kept my mouth shut!
So I see the binman lift the lids on our bins and walk away. It would seem obvious to me, without looking at the bins myself, that they are either empty or not worth lifting. I rang our Admin and said to make a note that they have not done a lift and to check the invoice when it comes in. Admin asks me to check the bins. "But it's obvious they're empty or not worth it; he's hardly likely to walk away from a bin that's full!" It turns out the Recycle is empty, and the General has hardly anything in it. The next thing I know, the binman is back and lifts the empty bin!
I ring our Admin. "The bloke has come all the way back and lifted an empty bin!"
The admin waffles on about paying in advance, and they have to record a lift. Do I want to reduce collections to fortnightly? I wish I hadn't bothered.
There always has to be one nosey git, hasn't there? I've bought some Kopparberg cider for the misses and put it in the fridge so that they should be reasonably cold when I get home. I just had the go-for come to my door (Mr "Have you got a clipboard?) and say: "Did you want the last cider in the fridge? I like cider."

I've read the book a couple of times before! I must have more money than sense?

If only we could get one of these on the Moon or Mars, we'd really be able to get the ball rolling. #Colonalisation
Am I the only one resisting enabling #Ubuntu Pro every time a software update informs me that updates are ready to be installed but that I need to enable Pro to get them?
There is nothing like a little bit of pressure selling, is there? 💳
I see X wants me to start arguing again? It pisses me off that I'm goaded, and people are shocked and offended when I respond.
My response to this would be:
"But EVERYONE is middle class; in fact, I would argue there's only a small proportion of so-called rich and a huge amount of working families, and if there is still a working class, then Labour has failed! One hundred years and Socialism still hasn't dragged its sorry arse out of the road to Wigan Pier."
