At the end of the summer season Cheltenham Lido drains down the pool and re-fills for winter cold water swimming. But before that, they open it to dogs for the weekend. It's Mabel's favourite day of the year.

I was working with mainframes when the movie launched, but I had just acquired my first pocket computer (Sharp PC-1500) which ran BASIC. I was *told* that the movie took its name from two instructions in [another version of] BASIC, TRON (TRace ON) and TROFF (TRace OFF) but I had no way to verify it.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

It used to enter into some recipes for Irish whiskey ("cereals, grain, whey, sugar beet molasses, and potatoes"), with "whiskey being made exclusively from grain, and in later years Poteen being made mostly from molasses" according to the Blackwater Distillery web site, blackwaterdistillery.ie

Palestinians displaced to southern Gaza begin journey home as ceasefire comes into effect
Thousands walk north along coastal road after Israel-Hamas agreement puts stop to fighting for first time in six months * Gaza ceasefire deal – live updates Thousands of displaced Palestinians have begun to return home from southern Gaza after a ceasefire came into effect and Israeli troops withdrew to an agreed-upon redeployment line – the first time that fighting has stopped in the devastated territory since March.

Not an icicle's hope, I'm afraid. The Democrats are kicking themselves for not realising they could have done what Trump has done, turning back the clock and making them richer by the second. Look elsewhere: the US does not need two fat, rich, white-guy capitalist parties.

"Should" needs to be replaced with "must".

I assume you can specify that your review must not be shared with an LLM either.

And the other one from the same source of perversion is a [UK] iced bun (see pic) split sideways and spread thickly with butter and Marmite, then closed as a sandwich.
An "iced bun" in the UK and Ireland is soft bread or brioche roll topped with glacé icing.

Combining the bits of unused pastry and rolling them out, spreading with Bovril and sprinkling with grated cheese, then sticking them in the oven along with whatever I used the pastry for, to snack on later. Guilty parties: my mother, my sister, and probably my mother's aunt who raised her :-)
