"Seven and a half million years," said Deep Thought. Lunkwill and Fook blinked at each other. "Seven and a half million years...! they cried in chorus. "Yes," declaimed Deep Thought, "I said I'd have to think about it, didn't I?"

I was stealing things in the supermarket last week, while balanced on the shoulders of vampires.

I was charged with shoplifting on three counts....

family health emergencies mean I've had to pull out from trading at tomorrow's Partizan in Newark. That's a big hit to cashflow so I've just put a 10% off code on the shop to grab some orders instead - use PARTIZAN10 at Checkout to qualify. I'll ship out existing show pre-orders on Monday!

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear

Teesside’s freeport, initiated in 2021 under Rishi Sunak, has cost £560 million far exceeding the standard £25 million allocation (22 times the standard £25m).
90% profits go to the private sector.
This clearly shows the UK model of State aid post-Brexit is utterly corrupt.

This is ridiculous. The government should stop this and force the water companies shareholders to pay for the necessary work out of the undeserved profits they have extracted since privatisation;

It is crazy, but with water companies lobbying the government and Ofwat giving priority to business and not consumers I can't see things changing anytime soon. 😕
