About 5% of deaths result in an inheritance tax charge. Yet the myths surrounding it are so ingrained that I'd bet there'd be widespread support among the tax-terrified for any government promising to ensure, say, 75% of people wouldn't pay it.
That’s lunch sorted. 😁
Keep up, my friend.
That's home. That's us.

So you're telling me Claude functions by screaming at itself "WRITE GOOD CODE NO BUGS SECURE VERY STABLE", mashes compile button, reads back the error and yells ONLY GOOD CODE NO BUGS at itself again while crying and copying random things from Stack Overflow until it compiles?
it just like me fr fr

It's chart time!
Half Man Half Biscuit lock out the single and album charts!
8 new single entries (including The Wolfhounds at 17), but none trouble the top 11 which is a well shuffled version of last week's.
Result!
The Royal Navy should go and blow up something Trump uses and tell him to fix it, maybe a golf course or Epstein's plane.
A black and white photograph of a man and a woman in raincoats. The man is at the back of the shot with his arms folded. The woman is at the front wit her arms by her side. Both are looking directly into the camera.
Really love this shot of @zackpolanski.bsky.social and Hannah Spencer by @misanharriman.bsky.social (www.instagram.com/p/DWeKYYljC8D/). You know they’re going to drop the greatest electronic chill out album you’ve ever heard.
"Sex slave' woman wanted for burglary A WOMAN who had five pitbull puppies cloned in South Korea is wanted in Tennessee on burglary charges, lawyers there said today. Joyce MeKinney, 58, was accused of telling a 15-year-old boy to burgle a house to raise cash to buy a false leg for a horse. She fled Britain in 1977 to avoid a trial for allegedly abducting a Mermon missionary and making him her sex slave.
Every sentence brings something new to the madness. Stick it on CEEFAX.

OK. My career just peaked.
The banner image on your feed is looking a bit stale tonight. I waited until the club statement but then I just had to write to Ashton. Appalling.
I don't understand why the Democrats' platform isn't: We're going to impeach Trump and everyone who's done business with him is going to jail.
I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.
On a train to London.
Lovely day.
Been taking photos out of the train window, and putting them through filters.

I have to say, having just read this fact, that I didn’t know that Radovan Karadžić was serving his life sentence for genocide on the Isle Of Wight
ANNA Money (who are all about digital accounting for small businesses) liked my Brexit album, so they asked me to write a banging tune about April's new tax rules for self employed people. Seriously.
So I did. And recorded it with Olivia Saunders [Devil Wears Prada]. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWtt...
One of the most irritating things about GB News ("Reform TV") is that my Samsung TV keeps pushing it at me by default as the first thing on the home screen. How many other millions of people get this? And how many get dragged in and actually watch this nonsense, thinking that it's real news?
Congratulations to Donald J Trump on winning the Africa Cup of Nations
In April 1992, Robert Altman's The Player was released, garnering lavish praise for its opening scene, a complicated ensemble tracking shot. In April 1990, Coronation Street was doing stuff like this, and nobody batted an eyelid.
We're in.
I'm delighted Ipswich has made it through to the next stage of the City of Culture competition.
This is a testament to our thriving arts and culture scene and the efforts of so many people.
There's work ahead, but we should celebrate this moment.
