My wife is currently very into soup.

However, that means whenever she has it I HAVE to sing the soup crimp from the mighty boosh.

I'm all about cult of the lamb woolhaven at the moment.

There is a nice moment when you come across this chap called riverboy playing music by the sea.

Riverboy was their musical director and he died last year

Nice little tribute to him.

I think that's it.... I think. Might need to check the roof

Just woken up to see what storm Chandra has done.

I smell electric, hear buzzing and there is water coming out of one of my light switches.

80mm of rain is too much rain....

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

America is a terrifying place....

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Happy woolhaven everyone!

Dear #artists of blue sky

I'm in the Maldives and I saw a baby shark try and fail to catch a bee, then got annoyed and flicked the bee with its tail.

I feel this would make a cute comic.

Super weird that "trained" American agents are allowed to get scared for their lives and act irrationally

But the American public must remain calm at all times or they might get murdered

They are literally killing you America....

Flu positivity graph

Despite repeated doom-mongering, flu case numbers reached a plateau and have been falling steadily since mid-December.

Just how bad is the current flu season is and are warnings it could be the worst in decades sensationalist?
