Based on the article it’s still going to be something you have to request, so you should still be able to have your current setup unless your company gets so many requests it decides to standardise on 4long instead of 5.

This is true. It’s still an awful lot more flexibility though. And of course as none of this legislation is written yet, it could lean either way while enabling both.
I’m a big four day week stan and I never expected to see it pushed during this parliament. Obviously the end result is going to be heavily dependent on what they end up implementing, but this is potentially huge for many, many people.
If you’re a gamer then I’d strongly recommend you get a playlist of bangers from your favourite games. They tend to be high energy, low on distracting lyrics, and if you’ve played the game any amount then they’ve might have gotten associated with a “locked in” brain state so you feel like whatever task you’re achieving is analogous to gaming.
My playlist has tracks from Streets of Rage 2, Golden Sun, Pokémon, Smash Bros and Super Hexagon amongst others.
I ran one on the other place if you want some ideas on how to format it. There’s also a lot of good books in the suggestions lists.
In the end I stopped because it felt like participation rates dwindled fast, but it did a good job at highlighting an interesting range of books.
Can’t believe the only strategy they have left is to buy pensioner votes at all cost.
Manifestos aren’t due out for a week or two yet.
Institute for Government has you covered.
This is death spiral shit. I probably look on national service more favourably than the average person and I know you cannot just throw it out as a desperate Hail Mary without building a huge amount of consensus.
Where would one go to get a custom made backpack with double stitching?
Bit late to the party, but something to be aware of if you’re buying Solovair. I have a pair of astronaut boots, had them for about 20 months, worn them almost daily and I need to get them resoled now. I went to my local cobblers and they said they don’t do Solovair, they just do glue jobs. I went to Solovair (I’m local to their factory) and they said that they’re currently doing so much business that they’re not able to offer resoling. They provided details of two webshops (keycobbler.co.uk and bootrepaircompany.co.uk) who do offer this service, but that involves sending them off for weeks and weeks. So I’m going to need to buy a second pair of boots to wear while my first pair are out for repair. And the resole is a significant chunk of the original boot cost: I spent under £170 on the boots, and they’re going to cost £70 to resole plus shipping.
I’m still going to do it, I love them and I’d have spent a similar amount on trainers in the same period just through wear and tear, but it’s not particularly a money saver or a convenience.
I guess that when I do have two pairs I’ll be able to rotate them daily so this will be something that comes up every four years rather than every two.
Yup. Have put it down to the kids being at nursery and bringing back every cough and sniffle. It’s wrecked my wife’s sleeping because we’ve a baby who wants to feed when he’s feeling under the weather and he’s had a cold for what feels like weeks.
Master Chef has been on telly for 34 years, this is disgusting Loyd Grossman erasure.
If anyone wants to do some play-money betting on who wins, I’ve got a prediction market here.
I thought it was a nice first episode, watching Sophie try to hop across a lake was a highlight.
Did anyone else think that Gary was going to turn out to be the scarecrow and the boat gorilla would be a deliberate bluff?
They were pretty direct remakes with a few new bugs and a controversial art style. I was never a big DPP fan and the remakes failed to change my mind.
I do think any future remakes will be different though, i vaguely remember a story about ILCA who made BDSP and I don’t think they exist in the same form as they did when developing the game.
There’s a lot of potential options. Gen V remakes are next on the main series remake list. Let’s Go and Legends were both sort-of-mainline-ish games that would be about right for a sequel. I’m betting there’s still more DLC for SV. And wasn’t there a rumour about another Detective Pikachu movie?
I’ve set up a play-money prediction market if people want to join in.
IMO this is within Labour’s grasp, it’s in the range of their recent by-election wins and given it was Skidmore who took it from them, one has to speculate that a local MP of nearly 20 years, standing down in protest of the government, isn’t going to encourage the party faithful out to vote for his replacement.
This prediction market has May at 50%, and that’s mainly because I keep buying it off he back of news like this. Seems like a lot of people are May doubters.
Reasons I think May is the most likely candidate are:
How dare you “two YouTubers” unname then when one is Ashens, king of tat, lord of the brown sofa.
It’s on his second channel for those interested.
I think “considered” is probably doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I’m pretty sure someone came up with it, maybe even Boris, and then he repeated it a bunch of times in front of semi-relevant people in a jokey-jokey way followed by an “…unless?”
I imagine nobody with any level of responsibility in actually producing such a raid considered anything apart from how to most politely say no to the prime minister.
