wife's been on about getting one of those pilates reformer things for our spare room. she's been doing classes for ages and reckons it'll save us money in the long run.

I had a look online and mate these things aren't cheap. like I could buy a decent set of tools for that kinda coin.

anyone else's partner talked them into this? do you actually use it or does it become a very expensive clothes rack after a month? I'm not trying to be a tightarse but I also don't wanna drop a grand on something that'll just gather dust.

Thoughts on this behaviour? 🤔 🧨🧨

Please explain.

Why can't people see that there is a PR event happening right before our eyes.

Nine has confirmed he was already leaving Today at the end of the year. The podcast was already running. The “independent voice” lane was already being built.

Then the Tommy Robinson interview blows up, Nine acts shocked, Karl exits early, and suddenly he gets the perfect launch story-

“I was cancelled.”

Nine protects its brand. Karl gets martyr status. The podcast gets a subscriber boost. Everyone gets headlines.

I’m not saying it was scripted from day one, but it sure looks like it. A messy exit turned into a very useful culture war marketing campaign.

Funny how outrage always seems to come with a subscriber button. I think he's up 25k subscribers in the last few days.....
