Just seen this... Bread Ahead is the guy who was head baker at St John until last year (Justin Gellatly). The doughnuts are basically the same, but with a wider variety of fillings.



The trouble is that the fewer young people who vote (partly as a result of Brand's rantings) and the more older people vote, Governments will feel that they need to pander far more to older voters and keep on giving various benefits to old gits like me. That can be seen quite clearly in the policies of Osborne who is desperately trying to persuade people like me to vote for him. But sorry George, I won't.

As it's a while ago I was trying not to name names, but yes, that's the one.

Yeah I'll give him that.

That annoys me. He's done some drugs in his youth and enjoys shagging good looking women. Wow, big shocker, I think we're all junkies by his definitiotn.

Well yeah, but that's like saying I prefer flea bites to cancer.

This is brilliant, nearly in tears laughing!


I think my top annoyance is that I always try and make space for people walking the opposite way on the pavement but it seems very few people do the same. Makes me mad and so I have started to play chicken with people to see how close they'll get before moving an inch and really want to drop my shoulder for a dump tackle (not very ladylike!).


Although interestingly I have found that many more people in East Dulwich give way (both walking and driving) than in other parts of London - and I've lived in quite a few different parts of London.

Then my rage towards this tiny thing is indeed irrational.

Agreed. LOVED Halloween as a kid. These days it seems we've taken all the shit aspects of the American version without all the stuff that makes the American version good. So now it's just all about trick or feckin treat.

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
