I'm on the train from Montréal to Toronto. There's just been a reminder that it is MANDATORY to use headphones when watching video. I can't believe this guys have resorted to legislation, rather than our system of having 75% of the carriage sit in murderous, futile rage.

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

Elaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)

Hope this WC disaster buries the idea that being an elite club manager has any real bearing on international tournament football or that it's worth spanking money on. Spain, Germany, Argentina, France all won things by promoting coaches from their internal system. We throw £££ at Capello and Tuchel.

‘Difficult decisions’ is almost always code for ‘punching down’. Fucking STOP IT. The arts sector in the UK is worth £8.5bn per year. That is (just numerically, quite apart from anything else) a FUCKING PRIORITY, you flailing cretins.

In the late 1970s, the car rental company Avis commissioned a special stick-on cover, before providing new staff with a copy of ‘How it Works the Motor Car’. This was to ease staff embarrassment at being seen reading a Ladybird book.

Rise of the ‘ghost owners’: 18,000 UK vehicles in use without proper records

Exclusive: Labour MP calls on DVLA to take action, saying ‘speeding, hit and runs and worse’ are going unpunished More than 18,000 vehicles are being used in the UK without proper records of where their owners live, it has emerged, part of what a Labour MP has called an increasing problem of “ghost owners” who cannot be held accountable for their driving. According to a freedom of information request to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, 18,260 vehicles were listed in its records as being registered to the DVLA’s own address, meaning the owner’s location was not known.

I’m searching for the original and/or rights owner of this fabulous picture of Birmingham in the early 1970s. It popped up on my Instagram feed, but I’ve been unable to track it down. Any leads? I’m really hoping to use it in a book. (And would much appreciate a RT please)
