It's a bit early for us to be let in to see

😂That would be a start. I'd be in favour of that. I think we need large stickers to that effect to ensure the truth is available where companies are lying about their facilities to employees / consumers.

Are we all still waiting?

I am

I am waiting

Shameless placemarking so I can follow this throughout the day.

I saw the picture of yer man all wrapped up with his defensive posse surrounding him like armed guards - pretty pathetic.

We're all rooting for you Sandie.

So pathetic to need to hide his face and be surrounded by people like some little waif.

Still WFTCHTJ

I felt it came across more sinister than vulnerable

Me too..

That is very interesting to me personally. 2 of our children were diagnosed with serious life long illnesses a few years apart. Thankfully not terminal but they will both have to deal with the medication and consequences for the rest of their lives.
As you can imagine it's been very stressful.
Within 6 months of the second diagnosis our youngest child developed anorexia, completely out of the blue and has been mentally unwell ever since.

If you know of any research about this phenomenon I'd appreciate it please.

What’s WFTCHTJ?

Definitely. It screams, what are you hiding?

Like the fragrant Isla Bryson hiding his lovely face. 🤨

Waiting For The Conference Host To Join

I was trying to work it out too until I heard the voice in the waiting lobby 😆

It’s a tricky dilemma for him.
When I see the image with the woolly hat and scarf, it really draws attention to the brow ridge. Wearing glasses and a different hat would help with that.

@Faffertea waiting for the conference host to join - the message you get waiting to be admitted

Waiting for the conference host to join.

We're on hold, basically.

Waiting for the conference host to join - i.e. Not yet ready to start online viewing

For those who asked earlier in the thread, he got married in 2021, to a young and definitely female woman.

Are we taking bets?

I’m so sorry. That’s a very challenging situation.

Also surprised at The Times. I happen to agree with plenty of what Trump says. As a human being, I don't care for him, but I agree with some of his policies. Doesn't make me a full on MAGA-fiend. You realise the bias of some of these so-called respectable broadsheets. It's embarassing.

I think he'll turn up, he'll think he owes it to his people, and he probably thinks that he's right so won't be worried about questioning
