@Urban_Tribesman my mum would have been 100 next year
She remembered my granny having to save up half a crown (which was probably the equivalent of a few hundred quid now) to take her to the eye hospital so she could get a persistent infection that wouldn't go finally cured
She had a weakness and couldn't take bright light all her life
She was a nurse and thought the NHS was one of the best things that ever happened.

@rob_cornelius Maybe we can re-use a US-ism

@rob_cornelius They did, and they let the S*n back into conference. Plus Starmy has started writing for it.

Missionary work (whether Christian or Muslim) is a form of imperialism.
Just deleted two github repos that were amended copies of stuff I did for a former employer so we could get things working the way we needed them to - I think 1½ years is long enough to hold onto stuff and not be an arse.
@DiBosco Amazon Music took me to a band called Prehistory that seem to be more fun
Well, listening to the new Polyphia album that got 10/10 in Guitarist magazine ...
Sounds like every other one but they have some people singing over the jazz fusion cliche mixed time signatures dum da dum screamy guitar with minor key tapping.
Interesting but not going to listen over and over again.
Stevie Vai makes some interesting noises though.

Oh FUCK raspberry pi.
They apparently hired a cop who used their tech to build surveillance platforms, and they're doing everything from just being dismissive toward to outright blocking everyone who's calling them on it.
Fully ruined their credibility, their public relations profile, several Christmas presents, and their own wallet, all in one fell swoop. Great. Just fucking stellar
If you actually managed to source a raspberry pi this giftmas season, I highly recommend you cancelling that order, and letting them know exactly fucking why.
Maybe something like "In light of Raspberry Pi's recent entanglement with deeply unethical surveillance practices and their dismissive behaviour toward their rightly concerned customer base, I need you to immediately cancel this order, and issue me a refund."

Appears that the former Health Secretary's announcement that he would not seek re-election came only after the officers of his local Tory Association held a vote of no confidence in him, ruling him 'not fit' to represent their constituency!

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC I fully support Nick Ferrari's right to withdraw his Labour.
The sooner the better.
