A quick rant to myself about how the UK government has negatively impacted my life over the past 12 years, and how they dealt the final blow just a few weeks ago.

Some questions from me to Joanne-

How real is empty nest syndrome?

Where does the UK go next? Managed to end up debating trans rights…

Do you regret buying a cockapoo?

In this episode Tom and I discuss the following-

Trade unions: have they lost their power? Are workers suffering? Is this a natural change that is unavoidable?

I didn’t have much time to edit this one so the sound may be ropey in places.

Joanne and I discuss our ignorance of other people’s lives and answer some questions-

Would you take in a refugee? You talk a good left-wing game. Sam

Why do you stick with Apple? The products are so boring and closed-down. Kennie

– Related to this tweet– ‘Apparently, Russia has now blocked the App Store. This means Russian users won’t be able to install any apps, download VPNs or perform any software and security updates. It also means that Putin’s grip internally is getting tighter and tighter!’

Hope Murray is OK at the moment. Will you get another dog and if so, would you get another Cavalier? I adore mine. Liza

Why don’t you do YouTube? Surely blogs are dead. Kevin

Jo and I discussed our desire to change where we live, the jobs we do and so much more in the latest episode. It seems that we are not alone as the following from The Sunday Times states-

Just when we thought we had the pandemic beaten, it brings a further wave of pain: we are burning out and dropping out en masse. New figures show that midlife Britain is in peril of doing a Reggie Perrin — leaving its work clothes piled on the beach and disappearing.

Official figures last week showed that since the start of the pandemic in 2020, nearly a quarter of a million Britons aged between 50 and 65 have left paid work altogether and are not actively seeking new jobs.

Note: not sure I got the audio quality totally right on this one as it was a last minute decision to record it.

Why is Boris Johnson still Prime Minister? I think I know why.

The explosion of complaints over Jimmy Carr’s World War II joke is worrying.

Site update: running out of space…
