A rather worryingly comprehensive roundup of what today's kids are pleased to call the "lore" of Channel Four's Teletext cartoon The Adventures.of 4-T. More than you'll ever need to know about Vince the Valve.

STRESS. Section 21 pending. Nice house viewed. Nice house is significantly smaller than current one, which means significant downsizing required. If I accept - less space for the kid’s room. If I don’t accept, I run the risk of nothing more suitable coming up. Brain done.

Just reflexively oppositional, YOU NEGOTIATED THIS DEAL! If you'd not held the election when you did, Rishi would have signed it. YOU WERE IN THE FOREIGN OFFICE AT THE TIME.
This is (1) disgraceful at a moment of national danger, (2) laughably unserious and (3) deeply unwise when the President is obviously becoming incapacitated and the most unpopular person in the whole UK. Utterly disqualifying.

England's dramatic 3-2 loss to West Germany in the quarter final of the 1970 World Cup is commonly blamed on the enforced absence of senior keeper Gordon Banks, due to a stomach ache. The cause of this stomach ache remains unknown.

Is there anything to be said for reversing the polarity of the neutron flow? Perhaps reviewing block transfer computations at the same time?
Seems pretty obvious what the UK & EU must do. 1, we withdraw to a position of temporary security. 2, we reconfigure our two TARDISes into time cone inverters. 3, we create a stable safe zone by applying temporal inversion isometry to as much of space-time as we can isolate.
