- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 weeks ago:
Marriage wasn’t important to me, either - I was with my now husband for many years before we tied the knot. I’d never been one for the traditional big wedding, wasn’t sure what difference it would make, etc.
What changed? My Mum died - and in all the times at hospital and then dealing with the funeral etc - I realised just how important being “next of kin” actually is. In so many ways. And while you can cover most of your bases with various legal documents - honestly there’s already a super easy way, that is very well understood all over the world, that achieves this.
And while I wasn’t expecting it to feel any different afterwards, it really did - for both of us. More certainty and just really solid.
- Comment on Why does Britain feel so poor? 5 weeks ago:
Because we’re heading back to the Victorian era in terms of inequality. At that time we were the pre-eminent world power and yet we had masses of people living in abject poverty.

Upvote for Tremors which has to be the best awful movie I’ve ever seen. Like, so bad it wraps around and becomes great.
- Comment on What's Rednote and why is "everyone" talking about it? 3 months ago:
Whoa! No that’s not what I got at all! And if you click into what looks like a still image you’re suddenly in a feed of videos. Who knows what their UX is doing.

Isn’t this a screenshot from Twitter/X?! So - probably a bot.
I’m not American, but downloaded RedNote (Little Red Book) to see what the fuss was about and it’s been a charming experience. I’m particularly loving the cooking videos!
Very very interesting to see normal Americans and normal Chinese people have discussions together on a social media app. And for them to show each other “slice of life” videos. Probably the first time that this has ever happened?
Utterly hilarious situation, tbh.

Man oh man … a trip down memory lane!
When the Internet was a more naive and a fr nicer place to hang out …
- Comment on Fifty-seven swimmers fall sick and get diarrhoea at world triathlon championship in Sunderland 1 year ago:
The U.K. really does seem to be going down the drain.
We moved back to the U.K. last year, after 5 years living abroad and it was shocking just how much worse things are than before we left, in many many ways.
