#FacebookIsBroken. Today my Facebook feed suggested I might want to follow both Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn. 🤷♂️. TBF They are probably more closely aligned with each other that they are with my Centrist views...

More retirement goals 😀 Does your organisation need someone with long-dead email program “cc:mail” admin skills. I’m yer man. Available at reasonable rates.💰💰

Brighton, twinned with #Bielefeld. 😀
Marie Le Conte@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · 6d agohere's a very random question: why is it that Google Maps hides Brighton? attached are several screengrabs that show it displaying much smaller places but not Brighton, you have to zoom in soooo much to get it to appear, it's so weird?
One of the reasons I think Jack Polanski is unsuitable to be the futurePrime Minister. It is just not acceptable to support violence against other politicians in the UK. 🤦♂️ www.bbc.com/news/article...
Polanski says guillotine re-post was mistake but refuses to apologise
The Green leader re-posted a photo of a man wearing a guillotine t-shirt and the name Nigel.

#Genealogists - ICYMI (or In Case I Missed It ). I see Ancestry has a new Thrulines Beta coming out. Slicker presentation and a more-researched biographies of your matches line.
After 90 minutes, if the score is still 0-0 then the rules state that the winner of the 3rd place play-Off wins the World Cup by default. #FifaWorldCup 😀
I’m not watching the match #FRAENG but I’m really hoping that England don’t throw away a 4 goal lead 🤦♂️
One of my top genealogical "bucket list" wishes is to visit West Tofts. This is another village lost to the MOD during WW2 (as part of the Stanford Battle Area). Five of my ancestors are buried in St Mary's graveyard and it would be nice to pay my respects (although I doubt there are gravestones).

A reminder that this is the guy we're all now supposed to be listening to on the subject of the safety of MPs
Top work from the #Penny supermarket chain’s social media team. A couple of days ago an ICE made an unscheduled stop so the driver could buy toilet paper at a local supermarket because there was none left on the train.🤦♂️🤣 and yes, their own-brand toilet paper is called “Happy End”.
He obviously doesn't want to present the World Cup after all.

I realise I’m a couple of days late on this one, but for those folks like myself who missed this story earlier… #23andMe get the bill for their weak security. www.bbc.com/news/article...

there's no shame in going out at this stage of the competition and no-one has anything against the US players, it's just that this shit will not stand and as europeans we're hard-coded to take the piss

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a reference to the Battle of Hastings approaches one. That's Godwinson's law.
As in 1066 England will prevail against the Norwegians before tragically losing to the French a couple of weeks later.
Today I have strong feelings. Today I feel Belgian, I feel Flemish, I feel Walloon, I feel gay, I feel disabled, I feel a migrant worker. 🇧🇪😀
