If only you were old enough to know that there was no such thing as a GCSE back then and no such thing as a Lower 5th. I am not sure what “cod-philosophy” is because all the years my late grandfather spent on trawlers he never mentioned it. If there is a class below “remedial”, then you should be in it.

Was reading the other night that home insulation could be really bad in hot weather, oops We have a red warning for the first time ever about temperatures reaching 40c, how many people leave the UK every year on holiday to visit countries that have this as a norm in summer because they "love the warm weather"
I must be due some compensation for all the things I've had to endure that now seem to be major traumatic events. We even had the ladybirds to contend with when it got warm in the 70's, but presumably they all left because of brexit.

Trans inmate impregnates two other prisoners The transgender prisoner, Demi Minor, 27, who is serving 30 years for manslaughter, has been moved to another prison for young adults. An appeal to be strip searched by a female officer was turned down while being held in a youth correctional facility. “Subsequently I was transferred to New Jersey State Prison, where guards continued to call me, he and him. “I was called he and him well over 30 times, this has not happened to me in years being referred to primarily as a man. “When I arrived at Trenton state prison several guards strip searched me and placed me in the infirmary on constant watch.” Minor added: “I don’t think DOC realises the psychological damage that has been done from moving me out of a women’s prison to a male facility, it’s harsh and, I don’t know what it is like to live as a man, and I refuse to ever revert back to such habits or behaviour.” https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/worl...pc=U531&cvid=3cca2542bd6d442f841d65bcf1de4b6e
