The priority should be the Blaugrana, who 'deserve to watch' football at the Camp Nou. The games gone, etc.

Note: “a step”

The “deserve to watch” line can be used across multiple different continent. As it inevitably will be over the coming years.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

a black and gray long-haired yorkiepoo sits at a desk in a university classroom. a piece of paper lays on the desk in front of her, her paws propped up on the desk as if she's bracing herself. there are students in the background hunched over and working on paper in front of them. the pup looks at the camera with a concerned side eye. she's realizing she probably should have read some of the homework before eating it.

Viral social media posts claim Sir Keir Starmer has legalised marriage between brothers and sisters or parents and children.

False. Marriage between close relatives is illegal in the UK. There are, however, calls for a ban on marriage between first cousins. fullfact.org/culture-and-...

No, the government hasn’t legalised marriage between brothers and sisters and parents and children – Full Fact

False claims about changes in the law have been linked to a parliamentary exchange about marriages between first cousins.

Oct 8th 1984 - After catching their first ghost at the Sedgewick Hotel, business quickly picks up for the Ghostbusters with more paranormal sightings. On Oct 8th they were featured on the front page of USA Today.

📽️📅 Ghostbusters (1984)

3 Screenshots from the movie "Ghostbusters" (1984): First, the Ghostbusters, wearing their iconic uniforms with proton packs, stand in a lavish hotel interior, engaging in a serious discussion with a man in a suit. Second, a woman with curly hair sits in a living room, watching a news broadcast about the Ghostbusters on an old-fashioned TV, with a cityscape visible through the window blinds. Third, a newspaper headline "Ghost Fever Grips New York" features an image of the Ghostbusters team.

Badenoch's brain should be studied. Visibly believes that she has put the hours in working while all her policy suggestions are just obviously picked up on Twitter without any critical thought before they end up as policy. Visibly confused as to who was in office 2010 to 2024.

"while we were arguing about what a woman is, china was building five nuclear reactors"

Yes but that is very explicitly your fault, more than most, kemi.

She's such a strange perception of herself

What a grim polemic this is from Badenoch. Full of contempt for the electorate. Bound to win hearts and minds of ..no one

Got the Cure tickets a few weeks ago in a presale..they did it correctly as a band and tightly controlled sales.
This one has been open season for resellers. These aren't arenas so they'll easily go for £500 plus on viagogo
