Money > life?

Hyperbole aside, I think everybody is trying to prioritise life. The debate surrounds what constitutes living.

Very much this. Played Mings like a fiddle today.

You're beating me but I'll have used the two weeks I had to book before the end of the year and will roll the remaining 15 over and take them one day a week until the spring to get rid of them, still leaving me with next years allowance

4 day weeks you say?

I guess the best comparison would be how much his equivalent was paid under previous PM’s. Did Boris Jack up the salary above the going rate? And was that because DC told him to?

Theresa May had two spads on £140k back in 2018 and Alistair Campbell was on £125k nearly 20 years ago under Blair...so I think we can assume that Cummings was getting the going rate. As I understand it, the only reason this is in anyway newsworthy is that apparently when BoJo came to power, it was DC himself who decided to impose a "no Spad on more than £100k to show we are men of the people" policy.

If Conor Hourihane is a mediocre Chinese buffet, what’s Freddie Guilbert?

An amazing kebab you’ve had on the way home from a night out!

Nah, everything but the Star Wars. They were rescued and are with me. 

Sold He-man, Thundercats (most of them), TMNT (they went very quickly) and MASK and a few random bits and pieces. 

Hope you managed to save Cheetara!

Shout out from me for The Devil All the Time, I really enjoyed it (even if the subject matter is quite bleak). Although maybe my expectations were just so low (not a big fan of the little fella from Spiderman) that it just took me by surprise .

*(Nah, I'd never heard of them either!)

I know this is trivial, but I have to travel to Kent on Saturday . . . are they planning to do more of this endless-tailback stuff, does anyone know?

Well judging from that picture in the Guardian tweet, so long as you are not planning to drive on the hard shoulder...you should be fine!

I find that interesting that people who identify as "American" seem to be white people in the south

As some mitigation, a lot of these people probably had the option of saying American or French...which is a choice that no human should be subjected to!

the Papists are often recorded as dominant

Veering wildly off topic but whenever I hear the term Papist I'm always reminded of this scene from Reggie Perrin...which against the backdrop of current politics seems almost prophetic.

Two 123’s and no 124?
