KentVillan Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Watching the Vuelta Espana. The scenery is making me desperate to go on holiday. Also how on earth do they cycle in mid August in the middle of the day in Spain!? Edited August 20, 2021 by KentVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna have to come up with another revenue stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of taking the little one there but it'll cost £42 to get in and that seems steep for a 3 year old to go on some tiny roller-coasters for a few hours. Is it worth it? My kids used to love it. They're nearly 19 and 17 now so not so much anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at the BBC Weather forecast most days and keep an eye on the fortnight ahead. By my reckoning there has not been 1 single day in August where there has just a round sun icon in the forecast and there isn't one due in the rest o of August either. It's been a shocking summer for cloudless sunny days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda hated it as I'm far to big for the rides and was horribly uncomfortable and it appears my tolerance for queuing decreases as my age increases. It was great to see him enjoying it though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helped by me not having any time off this year so far. I keep thinking, "I'll go away in the UK this summer", while forgetting that summer is gone and people at work are talking about year end reviews and Christmas work cover! I've only had one or two days enjoying the sun in my folks back garden, whereas last year, there was a lot more. We've had that week or so of mega heat, but I was working and sweating my jacobs off at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 My missus has been up since about 7:00 doing some household admin and paperwork. My nipper has been up approximately 3 minutes. My missus is trying to get the nipper to log on to the student finance and the rental house landlord and the bank account and sort out first semester student rent. I’m just going to pop up the shed for an hour, see y’all later. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true it's gonna be a big year for Chelsea Ferguson The 'finance partners' in question are MasterCard, who do not have any meaningful financial interest in whether OnlyFans succeeds or fails. The backstory here is that Nick Kristof, who is a very influential NY Times columnist, wrote a story that scared a lot of payment processors, about there being videos on PornHub etc of girls who are the victims of sex trafficking. And the backstory to that is that the organised Christian right in America has taken to opposing porn through fronting the question of sex trafficking, rather than arguing porn should be illegal or harder to get directly. The upshot is that payment processors forced MindGeek, the publishers of PornHub and many other sites, to only allow content from verified users, and this is part of the same push. The consequences are that lots of people doing sex work are being forced offline and (back) onto the street, which is a very big negative, but of course they don't count in the opinions of people who do, so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
