The Cost of Loving

I love you more than life itself
but I swear I’ll love you better
if you let me turn the heating off
and you wear another sweater.
 
I cannot get enough of you –
I’m completely in your thrall.
I love to watch you bending over
to unplug the telly at the wall.
 
Yes, you’re the only one for me,
my sweet and fragrant flower –
now you’ve ditched your daily bath 
for a cost-efficient shower.
 
Make no mistake, I love you loads,
you send my head into a spin.
Our cycle’s set to eco-wash:
let’s cram as much as we can in.
 
My cup of love’s full to the brim, 
it overflows, my petal.
So make yourself a brew with me,
but don’t overfill the kettle.

It's like if The Big Lebowski was a doctor. Long hair, scruffy wearing a white coat in an office.

Bear in mind, this was Trump's actual doctor.

Superb for Hungary, good for Europe and bad for Putin and Trump.

Let’s celebrate tonight. And tomorrow fight on.

Brazilian politician Arthur do Val. Definitely not insecure about his height and definitely didn't make the only woman in the photograph crouch down a little

“Exceptional hardship” is granted (for proven habitual road crime offenders) in around 1 in 5 cases—yet the definition of exceptional is “rare and extraordinary”.

In the UK, 5 people will die today in a road collision. We should prioritise safe travel, not leniency for repeat offenders.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

And PLEASE can we get it right this time and use “staycation” to mean “holidaying at home”, not “holidaying in Britain”. We have a term for the latter, which is “holidaying in Britain”.

“Holibobs”, wherever they are taken, remains a capital offence.

Strikes me that reducing national speed limit to 60mph would be fairly painless for most, save some fuel and send a message.
