Decent Guinness on tap is not to be sniffed at, rarer than hen's teeth here.

Wife is at the hairdressers, again 😔

Guinness, in the sunshine, in rural France.

PTSD? Plenty of people who experience what they consider to be close call trauma get a crippling loss of confidence and an overriding fear of the next one.

Got a couple of friends who had serious sudden heart issues who have had to have counselling. But no quick fix AFAIK.

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 1d

Pochinoccio strikes again.

Reform UK’s @SarahForRuncorn has removed a video about Runcorn Boxing Club after lying about her helping getting funding for them.

Statement by the club has shown her to once again have made up things about representing her local area.

Don't want the grief of stopping a Brit and maybe calling out a translator... tied up for ages?

Yep. We have the odd one out here, as long as they don't cross a border they think they'll be OK.

Basically, to save you reading the whole article; "loads of 🇬🇧 have stayed in 🇪🇸 without properly registering, (as Brexit require them to do under article 50, and now they fear being found out and kicked out under the 90/180 rule"

🇬🇧 exceptionalism at its finest.

Fuck 'em. #FAFO 🤣

Warning! This is from the Torygraph.
Seems they're not fans of the new Entry/Exit System or being forced to abide by EU rules, even ones they voted for.

Remember when women got the vote after 1 protest?

Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.

Another few hours today opening up the hedge at the bottom of the garden. The whole hedge was 18' tall so a lot of brush, hawthorn and wood to chop up. But it means I can see the cows from my chair now.

My daughter spent about 2 hours queuing at JFK immigration yesterday. Technology hasn't sped airports up...

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Shield bug? The ones out here secrete a really pungent almondy scent if you dare pick them up.

Which doesn't wash off easily.

Us immigrants call them stinky bugs.
