The novel did spawn the song Warm Leatherette, which is excellent though.

That very specific chair is the least surprising thing about this news.

I remember rocking up to the pub in 99 for the CL final in a Bayern top I found in a charity shop and a koppite got wildly angry and threatened to stab me if Bayern won. One of the few times I was relieved that they scored.

A painting of Mr Badger from wind in the willows. He's wearing what looks like a giraffe print dressing gown with blue trim. He's peeking out of a green door with a "Mr Badger" sign next to it and a pull cord presumably for a bell

Surely the owner's job is to give the drivers the best car? It's the driver's job after that.

May you spend the day flicking Vs at the Kop, not coming on and being a bit underwhelming.

Oh no. I had a terrible accident. Years of yeasty goodness is getting wet and will wash away.

A serrated bread knife is vertical though the photo with a white and grey handle poking out the bottom of the frame.

It's in a metal sink with some splashes of water on the blade.

There's a plug hole to the right

Let's just straight to seppuku and I'm pretty sure we'll be satisfied. Rather than go with the constant attempts.

Televise it, too please.

This is a rabid witch hunt typical of the self righteous talking heads on social media and the Press. No one makes any mention of Prince Andrews many years of service to the country. Even if he made mistakes years ago and understandably tried to cover it up, what must he do to satisfy the wolf pack?

That sounds a little concerning

I did wonder how it happened. Truly an incredibly empty head.

Sean Dyche is finally going to get to stink out the whole of Europe with his embarrassing middle manager rhetoric and Son of Sam football. Amazing times. He will probably save them from relegation though, so that's an ambition.

I'm not quite at the point where I'm starting to invent a tractor beam to make the moon crash into the earth, but I do think that humanity needs a massive slap about the face to course correct itself before it deserves the demise it's bringing upon itself.

Luckily I'll never be in charge, because I wouldn't be sparing you.

Imagine, if you possibly can, organising society to help people rather than organising it to make rich people richer.

Just briefly, try and empathise with your fellow humans rather than standing in judgement.

Aside from enriching the worst people by preying on people, no sports gambling isn't a problem for the average fan. But it destroys lives for some atypical ones and they know it, and tailor it accordingly.

Was it unfinished or were the big towers a later addition not originally part of the design?

Lucretius Bourgeois @maviscruet.bsky.social · 1d

I can understand union jacks or st George's cross's. I don't like them. But I can at least understand a logic. A stars and stripes AND a Confederate flag is just incoherent nonsense. The flags of a truly idiotic mind desperate to assert something!
