  • I love the thought of paper books, but the functionality of my eReader is just too great. I can carry my books with me in one tiny little thing, it's got a light built in and doesn't weigh too much. Also saves so much shelf space.

  • I wonder if they'd even announced it had it not been for the media frenzy over the last month or so. Can't imagine trying to shield your children from this.

  • My partner has promised to take the kids out tomorrow so I should have 3-4 hours of uninterrupted free time for the first time in....well 6 months.

    I'll probably nap.

  • Worked mainly. Me and my partner both worked alternative shifts at a supermarket. We also parented a toddler who turned two just as COVID hit.

    So yeah. Great fun. Constant risk of bringing home COVID, no time to see each other and a toddler who was suddenly told she wasn't even allowed to go to a park or spend time with people outside our own bubble.

  • Why would you post an article you have not read?

    Mainly because of a lack of time but a deep interest in drumming up a little activity in the community if I'm honest.

    My opinion may well be wrong and Ill thought-out, but I'll stand by posting articles from the beeb if I think they've got some relevance to the overall community, which I think this one does.

    Thanks for the cordial conversation friend. I'll quit my whining now.

  • 38% of Scotland voted to Leave. 44% of Northern Ireland voted to Leave. 52% of Wales voted to Leave.

    The idea that this is merely a mess of England's making is a little unfair, because there's plenty of blame to go around; Why did 44% of people in Northern Ireland think leaving the EU would be a good idea?

    They pushed a question on people that they had no real ability to answer, and then forced us to answer that question with what was essentially a Yes/No answer.

  • I'm not one of those 'stop all aid to foreign countries' people but...why the hedge are we sending aid to China?

  • This.

    Me and my partner have spent the last hour looking through recipe books because I need to figure out how to good a more... diabetes friendly selection of foods.

    I can cook a roast dinner no problem, but cooking beans and pulses? No idea.

  • Wonder if there's some third party software that they're all using that's having a rough few days, or has been updated and broken something?

  • Seems enforceable.

    Maybe we should spend more time going after the shops that sell the cigarettes to the under age youth?

  • Got the week off from work so I'm taking it easy working harder than I do at work to get all jobs done that I otherwise don't have the time to do.

  • That'll be it.

    Team in question being Leicester City Football Club who won the Premier League title in that year.

  • One of our sports teams shocked the world in 2016 by doing the impossible.

    The team in question wasn't the Tigers.

  • Partner went into one of the larger stores today (she works there) and it was absolutely pandemonium. Credit to the staff because from what I understand some customers got very, very upset.

  • Tearaway was designed from the ground up to be played on the Vita and I'd say it does a pretty fantastic job of using that hardware well. It's also super cute.

  • Got my daughter's birthday party. Finally. Can't wait for it to be over but I think she's going to have a good time and I'm told that's what it's all about.

  • But business groups said more needed to be done to get more people into work amid concerns over the UK's long-term weak economic growth.

    Hmmm. Maybe better pay, better conditions and improvements to our work/life balance could do the trick here....nah it's the workers who are lazy.

  • Had a rough day yesterday. I woke up with the best of intentions but without 20 minutes my kids had beaten it out of me. The next 4-5 hour were pretty rough, although it did improve as we got through the afternoon. I need a breather, a break.
