More reason to drive…

Half the trains are cancelled and only the slow ones left - it's a gamble, either the trains will be deserted because everyone has heeded travel warnings and is working from home, or they will be rammed because everyone has to travel anyway and have crammed onto the uncancelled trains!

Last night was horrific and today isn't going to be much better

Don’t fancy sharing a sauna with 50k people

Jesus can you imagine the smell…

I really don't think Farage has the credibility to be considered the "defacto leader of the opposition". I don't see they've made enough ground since 2024 to turn 8 seats into the 117 that the conservatives have. And performance in local elections isn't a benchmark for GE performance IMO.

I'm a sucker for paper thin US cop shows and this is one paper thin US cop show. I think the format will wear eventually. Cops stare at an evidence wall with no idea who the killer. Morgan spots a flower, in a TV programme, on a magazine cover, on a table... That's been MOVED... :o ...

I’ve put up Gazebos and Awnings to shade the back of the house to keep the kitchen and dining room cooler.

Other than that. Fans - lots of fans

Labour's policies may be different but they're no different than the Tory's in their Political Behaviour

At least the electorate can no longer deny this, so perhaps politics can go back to policy, rather than lazy point scoring

Of course it won't...

I suspect the Labour Party will come to regret this decision...

Well you could ban "Happy Meals" and toys in meals for one...

Ah now Gavin, that's unfair - Packets of butter are now smaller...

Every little helps...

Send Help - Sam Raimi-directed movie about two coworkers (one douchebag boss-bro and an overlooked-for-promotion woman) who are stuck on a deserted island is also utterly excellent and now on streaming.


Yeah, I enjoyed this yesterday evening. Surprisingly grim and gory in places (I didn't know ...

That stuff brings in 20% tax so I guess the Government aren’t as interested in banning that stuff from kids Under 16

That sums it up perfectly Zed…
