Yellow Matter Custard - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (Paul Gilbert AMAZING SOLO) YouTube video by Kevin Gilbert

Force 9 and snowy could theoretically describe any day between September and May in Torridon.

For June-August, replace β€œsnowy” with β€œmidge-y”.

Talk about unfortunate coincidences - he’s got the same name as the bloke who promised not to raise them, then supported tripling them in coalition with the Tories.

If you’ve not watched her powerful speech in today’s HoC debate on jury trials, you must. I hope she gets all the protection & support she needs and will need…being in public life is brutal enough without having gone through this too.

I’ll link to the direct speech in my next post.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are β€˜just circling back’ to see if we can β€˜move the needle’ on β€˜key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
