If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

This is the correct energy. Rapid and withering response. British politicians too often cower before a voracious press. You have to go at them as hard as they go at you.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

We'll join the rest of the football community in remembering the life of Billy Vigar who passed away earlier this week.

Ahead of kick-off we'll pause for a period of silence, the thoughts of us all are with Billy's family, friends and all at Chichester City.

It's obvious to anyone who's been that Wingate & Finchley's ground is a death-trap.

When Dulwich played there, the same wall collapsed when someone leaned on it. When the chairman was told their ground was unsafe, he came into the stands and tried to fight the crowd.

SERIOUS questions to answer

There's a lot of things that are disgusting about this story, not least the way it's been completely ignored by sports journalists.

If the FA had done their job and changed ground regulations the last time this happened, Billy Vigar would still be alive.

It should be a national scandal

Former Arsenal striker, Billy Vigar has passed away following a significant brain injury after being placed into an induced coma earlier this week.

The injury was caused when he collided with a concrete wall during a match.

Devastating. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

RIP Billy. 💔

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:
He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.

I love London so much. So much.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?

Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.
