Reform really cherry picked the brightest and best from the Tory front bench.
You couldn’t make this stuff up. Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman accidentally voted with Labour to abolish the two-child benefit cap tonight after entering the wrong lobby!

I’m surprised it doesn’t come up more often. I guess it wasn’t that big of a hit. But it’s got some memorable scenes in it, and some really well executed manual effects like this.

I bet all these idiots getting exposed asking Jeffrey Epstein for money advice secretly wish they could ask Jeffrey Epstein for money advice right now.

If both times it was on the panels with built in USB chargers, could it be related to them? They have an internal DC power adapter which is always connected, so could go wrong even if there’s no load on the plugs. Seems like something an electrician would spot though.

One of those covers where I don’t see the connection before they do it, and then it just seems so obvious. There’s a clear influence on Something Changed.

OK, this is great. Everything works. Bonus points for respecting the original arrangement and lyric (e.g. 'Marilyn French'). It may be from a junket but it's hardly a trifle and significantly more enjoyable than a blancmange. 🥁 #Pulp #ABBA www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wd1...

Exactly. Arguing about a probably mythical person’s description of a mythical person is a bit of a waste of time.

Apart from anything, pinning your argument to the choice of a specific word in a poem which is the product of the oral tradition in an ancient language, is a bit silly.
Just noticed a racist buffoon trying to claim you can't cast a Black woman as Helen of Troy because Homer uses the word "white" in reference to her once, and you can't disrespect Homer's words when adapting them.
Yet I notice he isn't complaining about the actors speaking English rather than Ionic.
