I've only ever met 2 people with serious food allergies. One couldn't eat eggs - would vomit and come out in hives within 10 minutes of ingesting them. The other can't eat peanuts - goes into anaphylaxsis. But the number of people I know who claim to be glucose, lactose, other-tose intolerant is...

Oh, I so agree with you. How much human potential is wasted because of accident of birth location?

Well, he's totally nuts about space and physics, and he also loves coding. He wants to be an astronaut - but not in the way many little boys want to be - he's serious about it and is already making a network of contacts such as Tim Peake and Neil Degrasse Tyson.

A friend has an 8-year-old son who is autistic. He's bonkers about space and NASA have even designed a cap badge for him. Today, he made us all gasp. He'd won a certificate from school for solving a maths problem. The problem? Come up with a sum where the answer is 56. The obvious solution is...

WIth hotels, you know (mostly) what you are getting. Much more difficult with Airbnb to be sure of the quality etc. And the horror stories I've heard include last minute cancellations (that's the most common) whereas I've never had a hotel cancel on me.

I know people who swear by it. I also know people who have had horrendous experiences. I would never use one.

I've not seen any version of A Star is Born. However, I'm told by many people that the Barbra Streisand cut is the definitive version, and so on that basis, I will not be watching this film (or filum, as we say in Ireland).

Thank you :)

I've stopped being cranky and now I'm just plain tired.

Yeah... I got it. They are taking up references now - just got a text to say they've spoken to my first reference who has given me his solid backing.

Love what you have, before life teaches you to love what you have lost. Source unknown.

That's a good one to remember. I have retired from the argument. I'm likely to lose my temper because I'm tired - and then I'll have lost any ground I've gained.

Yup. Ridiculous.

I don't get time. I'll be out of the house at 06:30 tomorrow and not home until about 10pm. Then on Wednesday, I'm in work all day and then have an evening meeting. Thursday, it's work all day, then I have college in the evening. I won't actually get an evening to myself until Friday now. Just...

They are not my friends. They are friends of friends who have started a debate.

I am cranky. Majorly cranky. I started work at about 06:40 this morning. I got home at 20:30 and I still have more work to do. And I'm tired. Really, really tired. But tomorrow I have to go for the interview part 2 and be sparkling and hireable. And I'm packing my house up ready to move. And...

I've given up. The woman in question has trained to be a paralegal(!) so she can right wrongs. The irony is heavy.

I am currently having a debate on FB with 2 women who are advocating that alleged victims of sexual assault should be automatically believed. Their argument is that currently the scales are tipped in the favour of the accused. They simply can't see that automatically believing the alleged...

Nope.

Early, early, early. Around 6.30. And I go to bed late. I can survive on very little sleep - 4 or 5 hours a night will sustain me.
