After 1st round of > voting: > > Harman - 72 > Sir Lindsay Hoyle - 211 > Dame Eleanor Laing - 113 > Chris Bryant - 98 > Rosie Winterton - 46 LOL - yes he won after 4 rounds with Chris Bryant in the run off and the reaction seems to be a range from 'Great' thorough 'He's a nice guy' to 'Tory stooge' (He's Labour by the way). I don't think he will be as theatrical (or as fun to watch) as Bercow. Lots of comments I've heard on Harman I won't repeat here - she's definitely not popular with some people.

It looks like propylene glycol is used in everything. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/propylene-glycol#section2

"Lidl, Aldi, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons issue urgent recall for hummus over 'deadly salmonella scare" "The first recall covered expiration dates up to November 7th, but it's now been extended a further 10 years." Looks bad - but Heart Radio went a bit overboard (I think they mean 10 days) https://www.heart.co.uk/lifestyle/food-drink/lidl-aldi-asda-sainsburys-morrisons-hummus-recall/

Everyone used to do that when I walked through. Technically walking but half riding.

By "prompt you to use the pin" you mean they decline you and after one or two panics you realise it is part of the system. lol. I'd rather that than risk of fraud however. My contactless transactions also sit in "pending" for a while so that fits.

In my case once someone followed the postman around pulling bank letters back that hadn't been pushed completely through - not sure how he got into our block. If parcels are left outside there must be a chance they'll be taken

There are non force fed Foie Gras methods - which is why the ban is delayed hoping farms can change their model. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/nyregion/foie-gras-ban-nyc.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage&section=Food

He is - but I saw a Sky News interview with Harman and she gave me the impression it was done and dusted (maybe that's the impression she wanted to give).

Anyone who thinks John Bercow was a terrible Speaker should read Martin Shipton's biography of George Thomas (Viscount Tonypandy) https://www.iwa.wales/click/2017/10/the-political-chameleon/

just so you know why you're waiting :)

Did you have anything political/brexit related in your window - I've heard of that and messages written on the bricks thrown.

Monday should be the new Speaker election - wouldn't be surprised if Harriet Harman has been canvassing quietly (saw an interview with her on Sky where she seemed very confident). Means my vote wouldn't matter if Peckham is uncontested.

Election, Eu citizens voting, 16-17 year old voting it's all kicking off. Everyone saying boris looks knackered.

It's part of worldpay - maybe it's the businesses using it that are the issue. I'd complain to them and then to worldpay https://www.worldpay.com/en-gb/contact-us-uk-complaints

normally they get down don't they - could they suddenly lose their nerve - I remember ours climbing up the house to the roof chasing a seagull - never thought about how it got down.

I have an ad blocker and see the normal ads but not the new ones. I only use ad blocker as it makes me sea sick when pages jump up and down - no issue with static ads.

LOL - wash my clothes in Bio and I'll scratch mind - even though many people say non-bio has more chemicals it bio will set me off. Celtic skin I call it, and don't get me started on moles and the like - i'd love to have clear skin:)

Cummings has a major operation in early November apparently which is why his contract only ran to 31 October.
