Always Be a Crostic

They have fixed the very unfortunate misspelling, added a note to acknowledge the change and I think now understand why it was offensive, so I’ve deleted my original skeet

It has been updated, tho without a note or apology

Genuinely a bit sad to be reminded of Paul Merton, a guy who had a spark but slid into comfortable work and let himself rot from inside out, a genX memento mori

oh wow. this finally happened to me. a piece I wrote lifted wholesale by the Daily Mail, lightly rewritten and without any links back to my original piece of writing. most amazingly, a weird use of the word 'pacing' suggests to me that they did it with ChatGPT. archive.ph/LFmzR

Manchester Jewish Museum opened in 1984, but is housed in a Grade II listed 1874 (former) Spanish and Portuguese synagogue in Cheetham Hill, which has been beautifully restored as part of the development of the museum. www.manchesterjewishmuseum.com/collections/...
