A RoflLol moment at the pre-diabetes class thing today, as the instructor was explaining how ethnic origin/heritage means a different BMI banding when it comes to measuring obesity. She was struggling to think of the proper term for white people, so she landed on 'Corsican'.

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

I'm studiously ignoring your budget chat by attending a pre-diabetes clinic. I am becoming a statistic in an NHS study.

There comes a point at which the FCO has to issue a travel warning about the dangers of communicable diseases in the USA.
The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

Is there a more annoying name in terms of misspellings/alternative spellings than Alastair/Alistair/Alaister etc?

They've got my fashion style pegged, though. Watches. I can't get enough watches. I go out naked except for 3 watches*.

While I always welcome Farage getting a shoeing, it's reminiscent of the gotchas that are frequently levelled at Trump & have proved so effective at reining him in and alienating him from his base support.

Thing that gets me is when you see people calling people like this “eugenicists” and I’m like no lads, eugenicists were people in the grip of a horrific ideology who wanted to make the world better and were therefore unashamed of who they were. These people? They aren’t that. They are Just Cunts.

My Instagram is a battlefield between different kitchen pan manufacturers calling me an idiot for not knowing the difference. I've honestly not looked for new pans in 15 years. 🤷

It's interesting that all these new online banks all demand to know if you are (a) a US citizen and (b) US taxpayer and (c) cannot conceive of the idea that you can be (a) and not (b). I've finally find one I can use without either being forced to lie or hand over my data to the IRS.
