Regular thing in Oz, work colleagues always coming in with plasters where dodgy bits had been chopped. Faces and arms mainly.

Wasn't it Howard Hughes who was supposed to have designed a cantilevered bra for Jane Russell?

Lack of patience is my biggest obstacle. It was looking OK till I managed to add a 'glob'. Then wrecked it fixing that, then into 'not caring'.

You're very fortunate. Unfortunately all my Irish antecedents were a generation too early to leave Bailieborough.

I think in lots of businesses there is a serious disconnect between senior management understanding of the work and what it actually is. And yes some inefficiencies exist, but usually cross organisationally. Typically you get highly efficient but disconnected silos.

Ahhh. The 'you'll just have to do more with less' approach, aka the management 'efficiency savings' fallacy. I made myself unpopular by pointing out that logically, we would eventually be 'doing everything with nothing'. Sorry. It really sucks doing 3 people's jobs half-arsed, for one jobs pay.

And suggesting a swing to the right on immigration & crime. Sorry, the only thing I want to hear from Blair is a guilty plea in the ICC. Never trust anyone whose first instinct is to create new legislation to lock more people up.

Tony Bliar pivoting to a much more socially right stance, presumably he thinks to defend against Reform. WTAF is 'wokeism' other than some handy RWNJ label eagerly seized upon by certain UK newspapers Well he can fuck right off.

They need to take a harder stance against the overwhelmingly hostile media and fight back. There has been a complete media blackout of any achievements like the 1000 new & rebuilt schools. If the media is going to be unrelentingly negative then stop cooperating in them stabbing you.

The SNP need to be explicit about a Just Transition, come clean and say they oppose new drilling licenses, but it is out of their hands. For years they outflanked the Labour Party on the left, and they need to be explicit about that (3)

The Greens need to come to the party though, and not let Trans be used as a wedge. The Procurator Fiscal's Office has had 6 weeks to decide whether there is sufficient evidence to secure a conviction against Murrell, that needs putting to bed. (2)

I think there's a lot of blame-storming going on, but for her to blame Sturgeon is ludicrous. And I hope she never has a party role again. She can piss off to Alba, and Swinney needs to sit down with the Greens and repair the relationship. (1)

Labour are always keen to support tactical voting when they are the beneficiaries, much less so the other way. You just have to look at the Scottish seats in the borders and North East

The Guardian loathes the SNP. Weirdly, they support self-determination for everywhere except Scotland and Wales. And they are 100% behind the Cass Report. It's quite a bizarre mish-mash.
