Using my iPad, fairly recently it’s become impossible to position the cursor between words without highlighting, I think always, the word after where I want to position the cursor and getting spell check alternatives - even when the spelling is correct. A right pain, but one for which I discover that the answer is to switch off spell-check. I don’t recall if I have always had spell-check on, or whether the most recent iOS update has switched it on.
That’s the most recent iOS at its worst. It’s very annoying.

The halfwits who run my daughter’s school. I say run, but I suspect the clowns would struggle to run a bath!

Ah mate. I hate this so much. Just end up typing the whole word / sentence again from scratch. I think it's an Apple thing in general actually. I could never have a bloody iPhone.

My own fault, I know. Got a stinking hangover this morning. It seems that drinking 7 pints of ale yesterday afternoon was not such a good idea after all. 🥴🤢

If you put £60 million in a family trust administered in the Isle of Man, you are not benefitting from it. :unsure::unsure::unsure:

Got to feel sorry for them - not benefitting from all that money. :unsure::unsure::unsure:

They really have no idea what the public perception of them is, and will be, as a result of this interview. Shades of Prince Andrew.

Listening to 2 people on Laura Kuensberg on BBC today who made £60, 000,000 from a contract, yes there are 6 zero’s on the end and basically do not feel they have done anything wrong. One does not feel she or her family will benefit eventually
She should be in jail. Lied through her teeth for years about her links to the PPE company. Pulled all sorts of strings to get contracts that lined her family's pockets. Corruption pure and simple.

"on the make and on the take" is how one barrister described it about 25 years ago, if I remember correctly.

There might be a place available on, "I'm very rich, give me money for being in the jungle" after "Get me out of The House Of Lords" is all over.
