pros of multiple fallen london characters: trading hallowmas confessions has never been more convenient!!!

cons of multiple fallen london characters: how do three entire fallen london accounts not have a single confession of impropriety between them.

🕰Big Ben + Westminster: I didn't go inside Big Ben, but Westminster is worth visiting. Tickets can be booked every Saturday, and there will be a voice guide (Chinese version). It is a magnificent building. You can also see where their members of parliament hold daily meetings. It is the place where the popular video "ORDER!" took place. It is very interesting. 🎡London Eye: When I went there, it happened to be a rare sunny day, so I bought a ticket to go up. The weather was good and the scenery below was also very beautiful. A cable car can accommodate many people. It is still scary at high places, especially for people who are afraid of heights.

If only all interviews were in this style ...

man when are they going to scrap/fix the item rarity notes. like the "scarce" intriguing snippets can be upgraded into "commonplace" compromising documents? searing enigmas are "coveted," then dreadful surmises are "rare," then impossible theorems are back to "coveted" again?? and breaths of the void get to be "precious"?????

here's my take: (adding a couple new ones)

paltry: £0.01/£0.02 items, e.g. foxfire candle stubs

commonplace: £0.10 items, e.g. map scraps

fine: £0.50 items, e.g. memories of light

scarce: £2.50 items, e.g. blackmail material

coveted: £12.50 items, e.g. portfolios of souls

rare: £62.50 items, e.g. parabola-linen scraps

precious: £312.50 items, e.g. elemental secrets

treasured: £1,562.50 items, e.g. vials of master's blood

After two and a half years, your girl’s starting to come off Sertraline! (Zoloft for the Yanks) Good news hopefully for my mental health, probably for my energy levels, and definitely for my wallet.

Rachel Reeves “happy” to look at UK joining pan-European trade area

Rachel Reeves has said she is ��absolutely delighted” to consider joining a pan-European customs area to ease restrictions on trade, Mirror reports.

Maroš Sefcovic, the new head of the EU’s trade body, said last week that the UK joining the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention (PEM) is “something we could consider” as part of the post-Brexit reset. It would allow tariff-free trade in goods across Europe, as well as some countries in North Africa and the Levant.

The Chancellor told Sky:

“We are absolutely happy to look at these different proposals because we know that the deal that the previous government secured is not working well enough. It’s not working well enough for small businesses trying to export, it’s not working well enough for larger businesses either. We’re grown-ups who admit that, whereas the previous government said there were no problems at all. And where there are constructive ideas we are happy to look at those, as long as they’re consistent with the red lines we set out in our manifesto.”

Labour has ruled out joining the EU customs union or single market before the 2024 election. But Keir Starmer wants to seek closer ties with Europe after years of fighting over Brexit.

The comments immediately sparked howls of outrage from the Tories, who said it risked “cancelling Brexit from the back door.” Shadow Business Secretary Andrew Griffith said:

“This scheme is not the silver bullet to growth the Government thinks it is. Whenever Labour negotiates, Britain loses. So, we need to make sure they don’t surrender important assets like our fishing rights. We must avoid undoing Brexit by the back door by aligning with the EU’s low-growth model.”

Expressing a more optimistic tone than in recent months, she told the BBC:

“My optimism for Britain has never burned brighter than it does now and that’s why we are going further and faster in removing those things that are blocking investment and blocking businesses from creating the wealth and prosperity in our country.”

“Rachel from accounts”

Reeves also noted that people had “underestimated” her before and she had “spent her life proving people wrong” when asked if she was offended by critics calling her “Rachel from accounts.”

Asked if she thought she would be labelled condescending if she were a man, the chancellor told Sky News:

“Some people don’t want this Government to succeed. Some people don’t want me to succeed. I spend my life proving people wrong, proving that I can do stuff, that I’ve been underestimated.”

Asked if she was hurt by the nickname, she said:

“I’ve probably been called worse things… in the end people are going to judge me on the job that I’m doing now, that I’m doing as Chancellor of the Exchequer.”

so apparently sofia is "seceding" from the rest of the country (becoming its own region) because its gdp skews the southwest region so much that everyone else there becomes ineligible for euro funding. now bulgaria can too be a hedge fund attached to a bulgaria
