Frasier in a hotel room bed is one of life’s greatest pleasures
Midnight screening of The Odyssey followed by 9 holes of golf at 7:30am. Easy stuff.
My plan of action for watching the England match is just putting the England match on at 1am.
Don’t particularly like Starmer and have been politically left of the Labour Party for a long while now, but can’t see how a leadership contest or resignation solves anything. Likeliest outcome would surely be calls for an early GE leading to a Reform government.
Started sleeping with an eye mask and it’s changed my life.
Guy living on my estate was vetted to be a reform uk MP and then just gave up after two months because he said they were shit hahahahaha
I know it’s been out for a couple years now, but I’ve blasted through this book over the last couple days and just want to add to the praise. Sad and funny in a way you can’t put down.
