Happy birthday to the dearly missed #RikMayall
There's a little 'blink & you'll miss it' cameo in the latest VIZ out now.

I hope the sausages are going to be all sticking out of the mash, Beano style. A proper slap-up feed.

Crikey, that’s well done. Look at the super-tedious bloke in the comments on that site though. Jesus.

When the government ignores this and continues to do what the AI techbros say, I'm going to think it's finally safe for us to assume they've all got season passes to the island and it's being used as blackmail

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: β€œA party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said β€œwe have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said β€œmaybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

The other reason I suggest holding off is 1st gen Apple products often roll out with problems which the refurb process sorts. Though rarely much more than user error.

Well, if she will keep doing those Countdown-themed dinner β€œexperiences”, it’s no surprise that YTV got the law on her.

Even without a battery, it still worked, was just speed-throttled.

…the retail price. Every Mac I’ve had has been from their refurb store. My 2011 MacBook Pro only died a few months ago, and that was because I accidentally fried something on the logic board, and it wouldn’t recognise a battery anymore.

Honestly, the Neo is around the price I paid for my Mini from their refurb store. It’s a cracking price.

On that - hold off for a couple of months and have a look at the Apple refurb store. You get full warranty, just delivered in a plain box instead of a flashy one. And usually around 5-10% off…

And for anything that Windows is the only option, you can always install UTM (free) and virtualise Windows. Useful for travel, if nothing else.

It will. Basically. Even if just in the browser.

I use an β€œold” offline version of Office myself, but yes, MS support it.

And coo, didn’t realise they’d stuck a Retina display in them. I didn’t expect that for their budget range. The quality of those is Top Notch.

(So basically, maybe try 20 documents instead of 30. Arf.)

So in essence - I don’t think you’ll have trouble.

The only real issue I have with Apple these days is nothing is upgradable once you’ve bought it. But I’m skint, so meh.

It’s running on Apple Silicon. 8gb is more than sufficient for it. I’ve an M1 Mac Mini from 2020 and it’s still running well, given it’s half a decade old. I don’t use it for anything massively taxing, but have used it to run ARM Windows 11 in UTM on one screen while web browsing in MacOS on another

Looked at the BBC News article floating the idea of reducing the cost of the licence fee if the requirement to pay is extended out from viewing of live TV. It’s a solid, workable idea. People below the line whinging about having to pay for the BBC while actively using the BBC site. Bunch of cunts.

Currently remaindered in Home Bargains, this Irn Bru limited edition is delicious stuff. Has the normal Irn Bru flavour, with the extra spices not over-powering, just a nice warming sensation.

I enjoyed Top Gear doing it properly. Suggesting they try coronation chicken and flogging them Tizer.

Such a hard watch tonight's #EastEnders. No bittersweet homilies, no dream like hallucinations, no touching kisses, no Julia's theme. Just the stone-cold reality of Alzheimer's finality. Kudos to the production team for not sugar-coating it.

And bringing back a comedy character (portrayed by a great actor) to do it was a genius choice. Even those new to the character have seen his personality be changed and eroded over the year.

Technically they did. They are the seeds of it, a daily testament to how your testicle gave them life, before a doctor took your testicle away.

Six weeks into a section 21 it appears I’ve been successful in my application for a new rental. Nicer area. I will be Danofthewibble In Da Bungalow.
