The long period in the bedroom was getting over the trauma, of course. And a bit of the original actor's dad taking the family overseas to avoid a huge tax bill.

"Coronation Street now is so dark, not like back in the 90s when Ken Barlow nearly killed himself on New Years Eve and only survived because Bet Lynch let herself in the back door and stopped him."

One for all those people writing to the Metro last week asking 'why can't Coronation Street be fun like it used to', forgetting the 'Tracy crushed to death outside the Rovers, no hang on, it's alright she was just kidnapped by a woman with depression' storyline

From memory, they used to print the words in full, until the Daily Mail (I think, might have been the Express) noticed and made a thing about it - also with a moral panic about "young children" being able to reply/place gay personal ads, which led to a more restrictive approach in Classifieds

News release

Images of the UK's wildlife are to feature on the next series of banknotes following a public consultation run by the Bank of England.

The nature theme received the highest proportion of nominations in last year's consultation, as well as support in focus groups commissioned by the Bank.
Within the nature theme, much of the feedback from respondents referred to wildlife that is native to the UK. The Bank has also judged that wildlife images would be most effective for developing banknotes with security features that are easy for the public to recognise and distinguish.

Kemi Badenoch says putting animals on banknotes follows a pattern of: β€œconstantly being ashamed of our history and seeking to erase it in many forms.”

Except.

There was a *public* consultation. Anima designs were the public favourite. So who is β€œlost their deposit” fighting, exactly?

If left to my own devices for a few minutes I'll start banging on about seeing Suede play the secret set in the middle of a Liverpool student club night. I tend not to add "the next most famous band to appear from behind the peepshow style screen was Fabulous"

So because #Ryanair in 2024 treated a passenger to a 13-hour delay and €890 in costs for a new flight, and then simply ghosted her, an Austrian court today impounded one of its airplanes at Linz airport. ooe.orf.at/stories/3345...

Fascinating thread from a US senator.

Interesting that as he cannot say anything which was briefed and classified, he lists what was not briefed.

Clever.
