So what you're saying here is - I'm just thinking out loud, so bear with - what you're BASICALLY saying ... in a nutshell ... is that Nigel Farage made a promise that has turned out to be utter, hollow bullshit? Am I onto something?

@rbgkew.bsky.social @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social Hi there. Quick question - what are these raised deposits/markings on my houseplant? They are quite attractive in their colour and uniformity, but are they problematic? Thank you in advance!

I absolutely loved Robert Redford. Up there with Lemmon, Stewart and Peck on my definitive, laminated, gilt-edged all-time list. A brilliant actor, a nuanced director, and - let’s cut to the chase - a ridiculously handsome man, who aged very naturally and VERY gracefully. The best.

Almost everyone I know in the arts bar the luckiest of the lucky few - the most talented people I know, the funniest and most industrious people I know - almost universally people are saying they don’t think they can afford to do this job anymore.

@fplgeneral.bsky.social Morning, Mark. For clarity, does playing the Assistant Manager chip prevent you from playing any other chip for the duration of those three game weeks?
