Oh look, it's this NHS conspiracy theory again.

Keep saying it, one of these years it might happen!

The knockouts are probably going to be more difficult to predict, so anything is possible! ๐Ÿ˜›

Anyone selected for Labour in Clacton is basically a paper candidate, so I'm not surprised they want him to campaign somewhere where they actually might win.

If only someone could have foreseen such a problem arising. ๐Ÿค”

I mean, just the seat total for Reform shows that this is bollocks.

The inflationary pressures of recent years are a direct result of the massive spending and borrowing the government did during COVID. Yes, Truss too, but the majority is from COVID.

I'm an England fan but I hope they get battered by whoever they play in the last 16, just so I don't have to watch any more of this insomnia-curing boredom.

Femi is just as much of a grifter, so I won't bother watching that.

With so few MPs left and a desperation in the party, he can pitch himself as the best candidate to beat Starmer and, he may well be.

Rishi Sunak currently has higher opinion poll ratings on "who would make the best Prime Minister?" than Farage. The threat of Farage is overblown. Most people don't want him as Prime Minister.

 

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

 

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

 

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. ๐Ÿ˜

 

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

 

 

Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph.

I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

 

Loved this game and can't wait for this DLC to play more of it.

 

Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

 

Makes me want to get to one of their shows even more. ๐Ÿ˜

 

I was browsing the PS Store and spotted three of these complete rip-off games, all from the same company. And they're not even subtle rip-offs either.

Take Rocket Car as an example. Looks remarkably similar to something else, doesn't it?

Then there's Construction Machine Simulator. Again, remind you of anything else? Okay, there's a few of these type of games, but this one doesn't even try and disguise that it's ripping off the main game in this genre: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP6326-CUSA43614_00-0303332389496733

And finally, there's Wash Simulator. Yet another not even subtle rip off of another popular game: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10008957

These are the only ones I've spotted from a quick browse through the Store, I assume there is more. But how on Earth do companies get away with stuff like this? I can understand it on mobile app stores, but are there no checks before these games are put on the PS Store?

 

Noticed this earlier on the Play Store and thought I was going mad. ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's a nice change though!
