The replies to this 🤦🏻‍♂️ A lot of folks really hate children, perhaps even their own. Imagine thinking this is in any way okay? The conversation about how unnecessarily punitive the UK education system has always been, is well overdue.

I think the most annoying thing about the rain is that people can't drive in it without crashing. Anyway, here is a passable view from the top of a car park. Stairwells smell of piss like all good car parks should.

I'm not a fan of this newer weather pattern where instead of a gradual ease into winter it just rains solidly for 72 hours and all the infrastructure falls over It's all "unprecedented times" Can you just not? Figure out how to build shit that works and fix it.

Bad news from British Gas through the door. Bills up another 10%. OfGem, what is the point of you? They have the nerve to claim its 6% cheaper than this time last year. Absolute bollocks Mansplainers: you don't need to go out to bat for the thieves...

The weird British obsession with the fuel price per litre. On a 50 litre tank, 5p per litre makes a difference of £2.50. Wouldn't pay for a Costa Facebook people will drive 30 minutes out of their way to save that. I have never understood.

In honesty, I still don't know how to feel about this. Even 20 years later, there are memories that will never leave and scars that will never go. Acknowledgement is a part of that, both from me and from them. At that time there was nothing. Acknowledgement makes it real.

Stop giving the mop haired idiot airtime. He is trying to sell a book. I'd love to know what it is he has over so many people that he is still able to be in any way relevant. It's purely that we have a different Gov now and they are all furious about it.

Any thoughts on ChatGPT? A student of mine this week was obsessed. I asked it for a load of info on my (albeit very niche) specialisation of road transport law and it got almost all of it wrong. I could of course teach it, but ethically I have very mixed feelings about that.

Tories up to their old tricks with that pensioner video. All they did was start culture wars for 14 years, and this is the same. It makes you angry at wealthy older people which distracts from where your anger should really go.

Checking in Bit of a random one this, but I did my Road Roller test this week One of the rarest categories in the UK (Category G) less than 25,000 people hold it. Only a handful under the age of 40! Drove it 5 miles at 4mph and it was the most fun I've had on the road in ages!

That's all folks. Now a part of the very small club that has all the licence categories. The usefulness of this is very limited, but I did the Tracked Vehicles test today (Category H). Brings my driving test total to 10, which is more than enough for one life! C'est tout 🥳

Calling it a day here folks. Wanted to say thanks for all the positives over the years, especially during that time. Been doing my own thing the past month in an effort to disrupt the endless doom scrolling You may find me on the other place under the same name. Peace out
