I don’t what the Vogons are like as contractors but if they want to demolish and replace the sitting room slab and it’s supposed underfloor heating they are more than welcome

Dear Everyone, I was looking at my pension details and they said I am supposed to retire v soon. Does that mean I can just move to an Ashes routine (I can do it on the guest room tv so no one gets awakened by the occasional “YES”)?

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

The cold has definitely got into the floor slab. There is now an active debate over: 1. Just put on more layers; 2. Retreat to the west end of the house which is 10 degrees warmer; and 3. Put stove on. Hive mind do your thing

FYI - the finding that Trump was an insurrectionist was not appealed but his lawyers do know that one could appeal that he was an insurrectionist- that is what they are doing right now in relation to the sexual assault findings. They also did not appeal the fact findings re fraud.
