‘Nothing Compares 2 Soups’

Oh bravo! 😂

Purple rain on the guardian weather

Ten years later I still love this guardian tribute to Prince

Oh how horribly young. Those poor babies. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. 💔

(Left school in 1991 if that adds anything!)

No idea! UK.

“Dad, what did the 80s sound like?”

Oh my! 😂

It's definitely giving that.

Yup.

You'd think that was a clue, right? I don't know what she was thinking. I'm guessing she just had pumpkin in the same bracket as, say, butternut squash. I don't think it went very well with the gravy.

I sort of love it, but the upkeep is off-putting. Would like to stay there for a holiday.

It's even got a billiard room.

I have a friend who made pumpkin pie for the first time, but didn't realise it was supposed to be a dessert. She served it up as a side with a roast dinner.

Is it because if some cucumber accidentally found its way into a fruit salad it wouldn't be that much of a disaster?

Why fire? It's not inappropriate, but I can't fathom what *his* reasoning was.

Thanks yes. I found it elsewhere. That one was completely new to me. I had been wondering if they were entertaining an Auk 😂

Waffles, strawberries, bananas, and whipped cream.

Potholes and empty shops will feel unimportant compared to the loss of the NHS, social care and a torched economy.

Jesus Christ, this is so depressing.

Shred it and send it back!

Came here for this!

I remember where I was when I first heard it the way I remember where I was when Hillsborough and 9/11 happened. (No, I am not saying all those things are the same.)
