I invented unsocial networking. Soon, we'll all be doing it! I also like tea. I have never been in a quiz team with @RevRichardColes

Badenoch, with her memory which doesn't last even 3 years, is hardly fit to be LOTO.

Sitting outside a pub in Scotland at 3 in the afternoon. What's the world coming to?
A pint of beer sits on a black table top, with a harbour behind it. A headland juts out from the right with the sea in between.

I am here. Clearly. 10 points for the winner.
A bay at sunset. The foreground shows a lighthouse sculpted in shiny metal, the midground full of calm sea, in the distance is the far headland, sun speckling the grassed mounds.

Jam making failed badly. Not sure what I did wrong, but the sugar suddenly went, and kitchen full of smoke.
My beautiful new(ish) s steel pan!
Saucepan with burnt on blackened jam crust melted onto it :(

Tell me you're a Farage answer-bot, without telling me you're a Farage answer-bot....
Pseudo-intellectual response to post criticising Farage. Text unimportant. Profile page shows no original posts, and all replies are to negative posts regarding Reform.

This is the ministerial code.
Let me know how many of these principles the likes of Shapps, Johnson, Truss, Jenrick, et al broke in the last 15 years. Sheesh.
Ministerial code outlines Selflessness, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Openness, Honesty, Leadership as guiding principles.

Telegraph article. No hypocrisy here!
Maybe explains why they had second home tax in their heads.

Stolen from Twttr - @rorybremner.
Telegraph article dated Augest 2025, entitled "How to avoid tax on your second home" "From stamp duty to council tax, shield your wealth from Labour's net".

I like DPD deliveries, cos they give you that 1 or 2 hour slot so you know when to be in.
Also DPD...

"Vaccination for high risk individuals only, those with pre-existing conditions. Your obesity of compromised immune system due to poor lifestyle choices is *your* responsibility, not *my* civil duty." What a melt. Civilization, but only for the strong and fit.

These "one-time offers" to join X Premium are more frequent than DFS sales.

Have Bing dropped the OS maps layer? It went from the API last month, and there doesn't seem to be an option any longer on the Bing website...
Screenshot of bing maps (says BETA version) with layer selection offering only road, satellite, and 3D - no Ordnance Survey option.

Some pics from the day when it was actually sunny.
Field of daisies, or similar, a meadow, with cotton wool clouds above and whispy air higher still. Sun glinting off the sea with a plant encroaching the foreground. The sea lapping up the beach. The foreground is grass covered cliff tops with a spit of rock and earth pushing into the distance Long grasses on cliff tops in the near ground with a deserted beach below. A bag of land breaks in from the left, below blue skies

Not only was that a very soft penalty, but the replay clearly shows the fouled Norwegian player was offside when the ball was played. What on Earth is VAR for? #WEURO2025 #NORITA
Still image from match showing Norwegian player playing the cross, with the soon-to-be-fouled striker ahead of the last defender.

Got excited by this, then found out it's something to do with keeping insects away...
