I take it that the school holidays are already starting to bite. Two people have offered me their children already today 😂
The more dedicated to the paranormal among us might favour explanations such as ‘stone tape theory’ (objects and places ‘imprinted’ with unusual or intense events which are ‘replayed’) or psychometry (getting in touch with past events and people by touching an object linked to them)

This is the look that means my knees aren't in the right place for Mr Simba to sit on and I should know that.
Buying groceries and voting are basically the same, except at the store you pick the vegetables and at the polls you elect them.
...and The Folklore of East Anglia reports that (and, I mean, if you’ve got a leaden panel, plus a bronze plate with some sub-McGonagall poetry on it… well, it must be true)

Life lessons for today: would you rather be remembered like Jimmy Cricket, or Rod Liddle? It's not hard to answer is it?
LF Lightning-Barugh@cheeseford.bsky.social · 2d agoI know a lot of people who knew Jimmy Cricket, and they all say he was as lovely as you'd imagine and hope.
Why not just hire a driver, you're a multi millionaire?

There are many issues with Reform’s proposals for Royal Navy operations against small boats but chief among them is the fact it has already happened and didn't achieve the government's stated aims Operation Isotrope ran from 2022-23 as Channel crossings peaked inews.co.uk/news/world/n...
No, Farage, the Royal Navy can't stop small boats. This is why
Critics are already tearing apart Reform's plans to deploy British warships to intercept migrants in the Channel

Rod Liddle was very much like Marmite, in that you wouldn’t want him on your television screen, radio, or newspaper.
I don't seem to have interesting dreams like this anymore.
Accidentally purchased the version with accompanying Kate Bush interpretive dance. Distracting.

The funniest - and least discussed - aspect of this is that Farage, having reportedly told RefUK he'd only lead them if compensated for the £1m a year income he had outside politics, pocketed their five million, then kept earning from outside interests at the same rate anyway. He scammed even them.
Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · 4d agoImportant, because Farage's defence for not declaring Harborne's £5m 'gift' has always been very specific: he did not decide to stand until 3rd of June. Turns out this deal was struck mid-May (confirmed by RefUK) and facilitated by Farage's other big donor, convicted felon 'Posh' George Cotrell. 🧐
Definitely the best insulting reply of the day. Directed at Ashlea Simon formerly of Britain First.
I want one. But it'd take me 6 mos to restring it. It has about 1,000 strings.
