BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[Pblakeney]

Strange. I never asked you if you watched it, but I shall now be riveted by further information on your viewing choices.

I didn't realise that it was a private conversation. Carry on.

Not private at all, but a rather strange, irrelevant interjection.

We could start a thread on ‘Shows I don’t watch’ if it helps.

It did but the series has finished. Nessa was a Welsh version of the Loch Ness monster.

Oh, you mean a rotund lady much like Prescott himself, and that was the joke I missed?

I’ve not watched much myself (need to keep that quiet or I’ll be deported) but I think Prescott is one of several ‘celebs’ she has stories of having had a liaison with. They’re a bit of a running joke

Is that Prescott father or son?

Father, he had a cameo in an episode too I think.

Prescott was Married to the same woman for 60 years.
But he admitted to having had an affair with his diary secretary, Tracey Temple, between 2002 and 2004. This two-year affair was said to have commenced after an office party and, in part, took place during meetings at Prescott's grace-and-favour flat in Whitehall.

That was the story I remembered.

This could have went in a few threads but I think it will eventually be a wide spread story.
Anyone getting 2008 vibes?

Financial analyst SwanDesk: “For the first time in history, BlackRock is halting the amount people can withdraw. This is a major red flag. Something big is coming. BlackRock’s $26B private credit fund is limiting how much investors can pull out, capping withdrawals at 5% even though investors asked for 9.3%. Blackstone processed a record 7.9% shares of withdrawal requests this week.”

Edit:- My managed pension fund divested my monthly payment a week earlier than usual. Hmmmm 🤔

I hadn't realised that NZ had lost its shine so much that even the ex-PM feels it necessary to leave... doesn't seem like a vote of confidence.

Did John Prescott have any? Didn't he just have two Jags and thump people?

Soham murderer Ian Huntley is dead. Attacked in prison.
No one will mourn him, but prison should be a safe place. This is a major failure.

Money and staff shortages mean it can never be a safe place.

I suspect that he was a target from day 1. Surprised it took this long for a serious attack.
