With my other half living just outside Brum, I've made it my weekend work to try every Indian pub in the area. Mostly for the mixed grills, and found some absolute bangers. Special mention to Champys and Soho Tavern in the otherwise forgettable town of Walsall. However, I could be dead of a coronary in a few months time at this rate.

Dope Thief on Apple TV is great so far, four episodes in. Paper Boi and Pablo Escobar are both excellent in it as their situation quickly goes from bad to worse.

Fucking gamers! The new Prince of Persia is great. I can't believe people have avoided this, probably tarnished by the Ubisoft brand in particular. It's on PS Plus Extra now too. Get on it if you haven't.

The numbers being guessed at leaving the UK are tiny, less than a percent of the 3 million millionaires, and seeing as millionaires usually keep most of their money in property assets, they or their wealth isn't fleeing despite the scare stories being put out in the press.

I know I picked Shirebrook but many of these old industrial and mining communities are hell holes. And exactly because governments have done nothing as the world has moved on.

Haha. John Hurt grew up in Shirebrook. Neither of them went back.

It's a toss up between Shirebrook, Corby and Wigan. I got stuck in a weird one way road system in Wigan, was fearing I'd never get out. First visit to Shirebrook was like a scene out of Silent Hill, with the thick fog and Corby was full of dropouts with Scottish accents. Really threw me as I was bang in the middle of England.

Is that true? Not saying either way as I haven't seen the story but it'd be quite something if you increase breakfast club offering and then take away free lunches.

Being late. To everything. However, this might just be an Indian thing.

Have to agree. It's brilliant.

No chance. He's likely been told he wouldn't be able to go into the general population even with these appeals. It's all performative, he's a bully and wouldn't put himself in a position to get filled in. It'll play with his support that he's 'tried' to live up to his English Lion persona.

I got a replacement school designed and on site in 4 months. The shit you can do when people can't be arsed to work and come up with bullshit procurement regulations that slow everything to a crawl.

I was hoping they were trying to wake him up but then realised he'd died whilst constipated with a McDonald's happy meal. But I'm thinking that it's not the case.
