    @Chronic-Yonic @HebrideanHecate We had an absolutely brilliant Feb through to end of May, loads of sunshine, less rain that the norm. But we knew when it broke we'd be in for a time of it. This week has been especially bad, not least because the temperatures are back up, meaning it feels very close and sweaty at night, but lashing down and dark with it.

    @HebrideanHecate @Chronic-Yonic It's an absolute bumper year for Lupins. We've grown a few over the years from the same old packet and they've bloomed, but largely washed out non-events. But this year not only are they deep in colour, but we've actually got cream blooms for the first time and multiple heads.

    And all from seeds pushing 15 years old.

    @RadicalCartoons Oh well done you. I lived most of the 00s without one, didn't miss it. Even now I barely bother, too busy during the day, too tired at the end. Audio books and podcasts on as I fall asleep. Radio on in the morning. I started to listen to the live broadcast again rather than catch up because the boy's dad struggles with what time and day it is when he's going off on one, and having the hourly news updates really help ground him.

    I'm approaching the 1 year anniversary of paying the UK TV licence fee, so I thought I'd summerise my experience for you. Keep in mind that non payment of the licence fee is one of the main "financial" crimes women are convicted and imprisoned for in our collective countries.

    Why I paid: We spent more than a decade without a licence fee, not watching any live TV and instead relying on streaming services, but last year one of the boys wanted to learn about soccer by watching the Euros. As it was also an Olympic year, I thought why not, let's judge its worth.

    What I paid: 1 year licence fee is £174.50, can be paid upfront or via monthly Direct Debit.

    What I got: Full access to BBC live TV, i player content and other BBC login services. I was also able to view live TV events on other services such as live football on ITV and the live stream on Sky/Now TV. A lot of people ask if you're technically allowed to pause a live broadcast on another channel so that you're not watching it as it's broadcast, and therefore outside of the licence requirements. With an aerial this is probably a possible grey area, however when streaming online without a licence you can expect communication between apps about your status and the likes of Amazon and Sky simply block their live content from you.

    What I/we thought about it: So price wise, the monthly fee is roughly double that of most streaming services. And if I was paying for pedo beebo alone, I'd be ripping. I assumed paying for iPlayer would open up a much wider archive. It did not. No fecking Fawlty Towers. And every time I opened up that sodding app I was faced with some ugly ass drag queen. Soaps are cultural brainwashing and Doctor Who is so far down the shitter its having tea with the alligators. So other than the Euros and the Olympics, the only BBC content I personally sought out was the Strike adaptations and the occasional episode of Match of the Day. I was suprised how little interest I had in the Christmas schedule and while I am looking forward to my first Eurovosion in donkeys, I'll probably only tune in for the final and only then for the mortification. Youngest watched a wee bit of Cbeebies. By a long way our utilisation of the fee was definitely viewing live content on other apps, mostly sport, but also live feeds on other apps that simply helped outsource the decision of what I/we will watch tonight.

    If the UK government had any sense, they would charge a small, reasonable levy for live TV access without BBC content. I mean, there shouldn't even be that, but at least then the Beeb would have some incentive to be value for money as it would be more obvious when people are paying for access rather than content. That anyone is prosecuted, nevermind imprisoned for none payment for this dross is the only crime here.

    Oh and for the record, child who requested the Euros watched one match before declaring soccer to be really boring.

    @RadicalCartoons I guess it's the lesser of two evils if the alternative is surrogacy, but yes, there have been some awful examples. I also wouldn't recommend fostering to anyone who hasn't already got child rearing experience. The additional needs and trauma some of those kids bring with them takes an experienced hand and some skills. Perhaps experience in youth and community work for older fostering in leiu , but even then, the risk of exploitation for the already vulnerable is huge.

    But any discussion about adoption and fostering should be 100% with the child in mind. Most straight fathers I know struggle to prioritise their children's needs above their own, even with a genetic link. Imagine what that will be like without the biological imperative?

    @Haleakalacrater Not just women, they've just risen along with the overall. There are hundreds of rough sleepers in Belfast and a huge homelessness/housing list.

    Right to buy and lack of new builds has stagnated public housing, but more than anything else a drug and mental health crisis that needs to be seen to be believed.

    @Biff @lisaselindavis It's so cruel. I remember reading something by a teacher or teaching assistant, who said that one of the main emotions that susceptible children feel when they are shown videos like this and believe they are suddenly privy to this previously hidden knowledge, is an unbridled rage at their parents for keeping this from them. It's a wedge in the parent child relationship that in some cases they never recover from.

    • @polarisera reposted your post
    @polarisera I had a baby during lockdown, when I told the booking midwife that I wasn't going to have the vax and that I'd like to know more about a home birth given what was going on, and that I was even prepared to pay or a private midwife, her entire attitude towards me changed. She was abrupt, rude and really defensive (especially about the private midwife, something perfectly acceptable in the ROI and elsewhere in the UK, but not NI). It wasn't until about 6 months in that I actually spoke to a midwife who was prepared to discuss it with me, and only then because I think they were worried that I might free birth it.

    @HebrideanHecate @sim The close proximity to the art industry would suggest it's probably one big money laundering exercise these days. Oh and people trafficking too if you count the more unsavoury elements that attach themselves to the modelling industry.

    @sim Haven't read the article, but fashion houses make most of their money from fragrance sales. The runway stuff is basically one big advert for that, and haute couture in particular is just one big art exhibition.

    @sim @HebrideanHecate A cousin of mine is writing a book about Vivianne Westwood, I think the late 70s and early 80s was a big time for runway fashion, so I wonder whether she'll address what was the power behind it. I mean, McClaren was a big pusher of punk as fashion and he is as odd as they come, not to mention and exploitative crook.

    @FeartnTired @Maud_Gonner Don't forget putting the author of Harry Potter in stocks, doubt that helps.

    But yes, sleb books written by someone else in a lazy attempt to mimic Dahl, results in garbage fiction. Kids have more taste than you think.
