Freezing tax on petrol and diesel for ICE cars, but implementing a new per mile tax on battery electric cars?

That's really going to fuck over the transition.

Well done, Labour. You useless flaccid gonads.

I love it when an 'exclusive' press release hits my inbox with

"Hey [name]"

I feel so special.

I fear my grip on reality is becoming more and more tenuous by the day.

I love computer. I do good computer. I work computer. I dislike computer. I look at penises and bacteria.

I love being petty.

My favourite colour is petty purple.

My drag name would be Petty LuPone.

My bike would be a Petty Farthing.

Seen a few posts this week of folks getting spray-on tans before heading on vacation to hotter climes.

Reminds me of the time I did that before going to Gran Canaria with friends.

As they got darker - I got paler.

Photos made it look like I was time-travelling backwards through my own holiday.

Labour really needs to change direction.

Pandering to the far right isn't working, and it's not what the base (nor the majority of the general public) want.

Let's just try treating people like human beings? Is that TOO BOLD of an idea?

1) Find out the purpose of the ship, to a very high confidence.
2) Warn them and give them chance to abandon ship.
3) Sink it.

Done.

I’ve switched over to using solely Elemis lately.

PROS:
- Elemis shower cream and post shower butter have left my skin feeling incredible.
- Elemis collagen day and night creams have made me look 10 years younger.
- I smell like a wealthy ghost.

CONS:
- My bank balance.
