Thanks, Mark and thank you for all the work you do to keep us well informed of what is going on in the world. Happy New Year and all the best for 2026.

I was doing the NYT Connections quiz yesterday and was scanning the words for knee-jerk associations. I saw the word 'Noodle' and my brain instantly gave me 'Sue' 😄

Yep, totally agree. An absolute relic of another time.

Merry Christmas to you too, Kevin. Wishing all the very best to you and your family.

It's comforting to know there are more people out there like you, because goodness knows the world would be a far better place if there were.

Beautiful boy, sleep well littl'un ❤️

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry and saddened to hear that. What a beautiful little kitten he was. I'm glad he had such a lovely home with you in his short time here. Sending love x

If the tangerine buffoon means his imminent demise, then he's got a point, the best IS yet to come.

You're right, thank you. 😊

Plus, it was right on top of my shopping. If I was going to steal anything, it wouldn't be the thing sitting right at the top of my bags.

Urgh, won't stop cringeing for ages. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm glad you found it a tricky spot too.

It was just so embarrassing and I'm so ridiculously diligent with checking everything I scan so I knew I'd scanned in three.

I think the tech doesn't allow any wiggle room for simple mistakes like this which is daft.
