Single male of fighting age no less, leaving wife & kids at home. Wonder if he stopped in the first safe country or kept moving? Bloody immigrants.

Five concerts you’ve seen with women lead singers:

Looking at the responses under Starmer’s Holocaust Memorial Day tweet (advice, just don’t, don’t) and I have to say this is the most amazing AI generated graph

Board of Peace is giving me Axis of Evil vibes.

MacBook Pro (early 2015) running Linux Mint.

My 9yr old (off sick today) just made me a fried egg and baked cheese and onion crisp sandwich. Well, she made it for herself and decided she didn't like it.

The current year is 1983. Working backwards logically. I'm from the year 1965, which is 300 years in the future. Anything else you'd like to know? [Blank stare] I'm sorry, I can see that was not the right answer. I actually came from the year 829392 AD, which is 10 years in the past from this year, which is

Reform UK summer party planned for Lancaster Brewery is cancelled by venue A summer party for Reform UK politicians booked for Lancaster Brewery has been cancelled by the venue.

Reform: the party that literally couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. It's too easy a joke, but irresistible.
