Crowded bed
Woke up from a lazy Sunday afternoon nap to find I wasn’t alone in bed.
Calvin & Hobbies, the college years
We were sociable!
That was a nice way to spend a couple of hours :-) we just had an impromptu bbq with Sylvia and Gianlucca, our upstairs neighbours and their son Ricardo. Even though we’ve been living here for coming on to one year, this is the first time we really spent quality time with a neighbour. I’m going to start learning Italian from Sylvia and in return I’m going to help her practice her English.
Twin moons
Boom town, booyah!
Moving a broad.
Disapproving otter
Seriously.
Britain is still ‘deeply elitist’ says major new report
Only 7% of members of the public attended a private school. But 71% of senior judges, 62% of senior officers in the armed forces, 55% of permanent secretaries in Whitehall, 53% of senior diplomats, 50% of members of the House of Lords and 45% of public body chairs did so. So too did 44% of people on the Sunday Times Rich List, 43% of newspaper columnists, 36% of cabinet ministers, 33% of MPs, 26% of BBC executives and 22% of shadow cabinet ministers.
Oxbridge graduates also have a stranglehold on top jobs. They comprise less than 1% of the public as a whole, but 75% of senior judges, 59% of cabinet ministers, 57% of permanent secretaries, 50% of diplomats, 47% of newspaper columnists, 44% of public body chairs, 38% of members of the House of Lords, 33% of BBC executives, 33% of shadow cabinet ministers, 24% of MPs and 12% of those on the Sunday Times Rich List.
