- Comment on ‘Life-changing’: parents welcome £10m UK play centre for disabled children 1 day ago:
Great idea! My daughter is physically disabled and she has no issues playing on normal equipment but it gets tiring for us and her when people are constantly staring or asking questions. It’s a shame she can’t relax.
- Comment on How cocaine conquered the UK: in pubs, festivals and workplaces the drug has become an everyday habit 1 week ago:
It was a heavy year. I got into a bit of debt with it and I credit my current anxiety issues with the amount of coke I put up my nose.
- Comment on How cocaine conquered the UK: in pubs, festivals and workplaces the drug has become an everyday habit 1 week ago:
I started doing casual coke about 15 years ago when at the pub.
Once I started doing it I cannot believe how many people I noticed doing it, I guess I was just oblivious.Coke free 15 years! Alcohol free, 15 hours.

Nebula have rss feeds iirc im sure I use one for their Layover podcast
- Comment on MPs recommend BBC charter renewal is scrapped and licence fee is extended beyond TV 5 weeks ago:
Agreed. I hate this, the BBC has some wicked podcasts but their RSS feeds are a state. I’d pay a couple quid a month to have BBC sounds without BBC sounds.

- Comment on Frustrated GP patients hang up as Yorkshire accent baffles AI receptionist 2 months ago:
My GP has this system and found a small trick.
Ring up, answer the first question then put the phone down. It then sends you an SMS with a chat bot link to type rather than talk.
Its way faster and less frustrating.

- Comment on Up to tenth of Amazon shoppers in Great Britain ‘bribed’ by sellers to offer good review 3 years ago:
Amazon is a cesspit now.
I was looking for some Wera allen keys the other day. I wrote “Wera allen keys”. The top 6 items were “sponsored” that looked identical to Wera Allen Keys but were chinese rip offs.
It’s all just designed to con people, just show me what I searched for.
- Comment on More than half of UK children do not read in their spare time, survey reveals 3 years ago:
I’m one of them and it sucks.
I used to read more but lately I just can’t focus on a book or dedicate the time.
I do a lot more audiobooks or learning podcasts but that’s mainly so I can do something else at the same time.
I’m trying to actually spend more time reading articles rather than skim them.

Nothing. Really want to play the outer worlds but with starfield just around the corner I don’t want to burn out.
- Comment on Perfect pets or dangerous dogs? The sudden, surprising rise of American bully XLs 3 years ago:
Just look at the people on social media defending the dogs/attacks and that will tell you all you need to know.
