Yes, he’s had pretty much a constant stream of chances for over a decade.

For people who actually weren’t given a chance, we need to look at people like Ed Milliband, who once ate a sandwich wrong, or Jeremy Corbyn, who thought we should increase taxes on rich people (which was, according to the news at the time, apparently antisemetic).

I’m hoping it’s not one of those sudden lurches to the far right which seem to occur when someone suddenly needs access to the “special lawyers who make historical allegations disappear”.

Sadly, it’s been reported in numerous newspapers, from an interview between him and The Times.

Here’s one from The Independent, but it’s pretty much in all the papers.

“Rod Stewart tells UK to ‘give Farage a chance’” - The Independent

I’m more appalled by Rod Stewart saying:

“We’ve got to give Nigel Farage a chance”.

and

“It’s hard for me because I’m extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn’t really touch me. But that doesn’t mean I’m out of touch.”

It shifted over the years, but was a moderately healthy blend of computer games, football, bike rides, mild cannabis use, Warhammer 40k & Blood Bowl, careful fires and explosives, reading, watching films, smoking, underage drinking, being in a shit indie band with my mates, snogging and “heavy petting” with girls, painting and drawing, trying to look older to get served in pubs, playing pool, writing embarrassing teenage poetry, pranks and messing about, listening to music.

I’m so boring and grown up these days :(

I hope the “Donald Trump Baby Blimp” makes an appearance at every place he visits :)

or a selection of CEOs, perhaps?

I think everyone’s got the CAD/3D programs covered, so a slightly “out there” answer:

If you’re just doing 2D blueprints for yourself, do you actually just need a 2D vector program for doing a scale drawing with measurements?

I’ve done a lot of floorplans / layouts/ site maps etc using Inkscape, for instance.

It depends on exactly what you’re wanting out the other end - so you may be lacking a lot of the features in a full CAD program, but the learning curve is comparatively so shallow that you might have a working plan by the end of the day, rather than the end of the month.

We don’t quite know what you mean. Do it on Prince Andrew first, as an example.

I don’t get them off as such, but I have no work booked in today, so I’m helping someone with a Linux install, catching up on emails/invoices/accounts/admin, then hopefully visiting some family this evening.

Yeah, it totally makes sense for some uses.

That is significantly more complicated than how I was taught to sew in a button. Is this just for big metal buttons on jeans or something? It seems massively over the top for normal shirt buttons, which come off fairly regularly.

Roughly what I was taught (for a 4 hole button, in a “cross” shape):

1. Shove threaded needle through material into hole in button
2. Go across diagonally and go down through the opposite hole and through the material
3. Under the material, go across sideways a bit and come up in a different hole
4. Repeat 1-3 a bunch of times until it feels strong enough.
5. Tie off the thread and cut off the excess.

You say “best”, “highest performing” etc, but we asked a panel of immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders who their ideal upper management employee was - and they unanimously suggested other immorally wealthy, elderly white male sex offenders, and suggested that employing anyone else is a DEI hire.

This is, for those who don’t, a great option - but I’m already carrying either a “messenger bag” or a small rucksack.

To put it in different terms, my overall inventory is fine, but the problem is that hot weather causes you to lose all your “quick inventory slots”.

Imagine any computer game where you store a selection of key items in the quick slots, which you can access with the 1-9 keys. In summer, only the shortcuts 1 and 2 work, and for everything else you have to go in your main inventory, so you keep swapping which items are in 1 and 2, but you have no consistency in what’s under each number, so you’re trying to get your train ticket out, but you end up with your house keys.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but though helpful in the pocket department (much like the full length trousers equivalent), shorts of any kind really fail on the “psychological armour” element. That’s practically like walking about in your undies.

If it’s too warm to wear a coat, I suffer from problems with pocket distribution.

A coat also forms an important layer of psychological armour.

Oddly it looks like the article is only referring to people coming back from holiday, bringing a bit of meat or cheese with them. It doesn’t seem to cover the cargo ships full of the stuff.

Obviously this makes sense, as whenever I go on holiday and bring back some delicious foreign cheese or meat, the first thing I always do is go down to my local farm and share it out with all the animals :)

I don’t care much for ties generally, but I like that one. I think it would catch my attention if I were waitering :)

“Hi, is that Guy Fawkes? I’ve got a little job for you”

Ours is in a weird “payment split over eight months” instead of twelve, for some reason.

Anyway, it’s just leapt up to £464 a year from £344 a year (equivalent to jumping from ~£28 per month to ~£38 per month).

Not on a meter, and have no idea if it would make it cheaper.

There’s two of us (humans) currently, though there were three for most of last year. I think the cats have their own arrangements for bathing and don’t affect the water bill much.
