Overload
Holly Vallance was in the news a few weeks ago and gave kind of gave some right wing talking points Holly's known for for singing for singing over a Turkish pop tune 20 years ago also had another three singles, 2 making the top ten and one of them got to number two hanging around in the chart for 16 weeks and I can't hum a note of it. So anyway she bowed the billionaire and kind of quoted that Churchill thing about.
"If you're not a liberal at twenty, you have no heart, and if you're not a conservative at forty, you have no brain." This quote is often cited to illustrate the idea that people tend to become more conservative as they grow older. Although like a lot of things Churchill supposedly said he probably never said it at all. If you've been unlucky enough to be able to find the off switch while quote from quote that's been on is something the Nigel Rees has called "Churchillian drift". There are several things like this like the quote about famous quote about America said at all or the one still being ugly in the morning was actually said by someone else at the table.
The trend of people becoming more conservative as they age is a common observation, but it's not universally true for everyone. Research suggests that certain life experiences, such as having children or accumulating wealth, can contribute to a shift towards more conservative views. However, individual circumstances, personal values, and societal factors also play significant roles in shaping political beliefs over time. It is worryingly easy for man young people especially men, to drift into some kind of incel alt-right rabbit hole and polling support among under 30's for Trump are regularly around 40%.
Anyway here's some quality 2000'2 pop from Sugababes (version 1.0)

Swing Your Pants At The Camera
When doing a interview remotely you always come across advice like, dress fully instead of just your top part, like you would if you were there face to face.
Which is clearly nonsense unless you are planning to stand up and swing your pants at the camera. Just wear what is comfortable down below or whatever you like smart trousers, budgie smugglers or in my case your favorite pencil skirt and comfy slippers.
