And hydration breaks?
Ironic, since ac only makes the weather hotter!
My elementary school didnât have air conditioning. There was a time when the schools were too full, and waiting to finish some new ones, where they switched to âyear roundâ for many of the schools, (kids on different âtracksâ that were on and off at different times), but we couldnât do that because of the lack of AC.
I had to do it the first couple of years of junior high though.
Ellen-Rose Portat had been suffering from back pain for months but was struggling to get answers through the NHS. Desperate for an explanation, the 23-year-old turned to a private hospital near her Surrey home outside London, where doctors quickly identified a cyst. âThankfully, it was completely benign,â she said. âBut it was huge â bigger than a golf ball, almost the size of a peach. I went for another scan and then I was in for treatment within about a week.â The experience left a lasting impression on Portat, who said she had always tried to give the NHS the benefit of the doubt, but now worried about cracks in the service. âAfter this experience, I donât think Iâd really go to the NHS any more,â she said. Portat is one of a growing number of young adults turning away from the NHS and towards private healthcare, as Britainâs health service grapples with mounting backlogs, dilapidated hospitals and increasing demand from an ageing population. According to Healthcode, which processes the majority of private medical insurance claims in the UK, the number of invoices processed annually across the private healthcare sector rose by 38 per cent between 2022 and the end of 2025, and totalled more than 42mn over that period. The largest growth came from patients aged 30 to 39, whose claims increased by 53 per cent. Claims from both 18 to 29-year-olds and 40 to 49-year-olds rose by 43 per cent.
I really do hope they nail him to the highest cross for his shameless grifting and corruption. The current corruption probe has him running scared because he has no defense.
Never has an individual done so much damage to the country.
So how do elections work over there, do you have to like, just be prepared to show up on some random day to go vote?
Count Binface gets another chance to become MP.

Its looking like this might actually happen as other parties are refusing to field any candidates.
So it might only be Count Binface and Farage on the ballot.
Reform is pretty much toast at this point.
If only. Iâm not counting my chickens yet.
I wonder if itâs dragging down their GDP since they have so many of them.
So with Labour and Reform DOA does that mean a comeback to the Torries?
Their number should go up a bit but I just donât see them recovering to where they had been anytime soon.
I suspect we are headed to a highly fragmented electoral result going forwards.
Because the party that put them in the mess is the one to make it worse?
Oh no. This mess was made by lots of people. Like most huge messes.
