So, the beeb has only just worked this out?
"That's astounding, Holmes!"

Newsflash! It's not about the fuel costs bud.

I can hear the wind whistling through his ears during every interview. How long ago did his brain leave the building?

lol. Is Tod Maffin bigger than a breadbox?

You just don't see many jug players in the bands these days, eh? Love it.

Try "The Guardian" - they're on Bluesky. :)

vance (v): to scuttle; to wreck; to sabotage (e.g. he was dispatched to vance yet another candidate's prospects)

I remain suspicious - he did seem to concede defeat easily. 16 years of authoritarianism would leave threads running throughout the administration. I'm not yet convinced that Magyar will be all that different to Orban - time will tell.
Am I happy that Orban is out? Damn straight!

It surprises me that their democracy is sufficiently intact after the last 16 years to achieve this. Surprised but pleased.

So far, he's batting a thousand!

We ditched Netflix when they adopted the advertising subscription. We only used it through the winter anyway.
Currently not with any streaming service as they all, apparently, support a fascist regime. Books are a much better alternative.

Yes, love it. More of this :)

Definitely a ghostwriter. Likely authored by Herr Goebbels.

"Easter Weekend at Bernie's" ?

...and still had to put up with mansplaining. ;)

Alex Jones needs to get back on his meds.

It's hard to pick just one moron because there's _so_ many of them. Not sure if more will die due to the deadly incompetence of Hegseth or RFKjr.

Thanks for the memory, Charlie. We did the stage play at our highschool in the 70's (and many other schools too, I'm sure) - I was on sound & lighting, not on stage thankfully. lol.
Have a good Easter.

Got 'em all and I've only been a Canadian since 2010 :)

Yes, agreed. Todd Blanche.
I'll put CAD2.00 on Patel being next.
Hegseth is moronic but will still be a useful patsy.

Her time was up and she knew it. Accelerated when she credited Stephen Miller as "The Real Architect".
Goebbels didn't appreciate that being pointed out.
It's unlikely that she will be "singing" anytime soon, as the regime, no doubt, still holds unsavoury, unreleased information about her.

He couldn't trade a school lunch with a six year old without being taken to the cleaners.

Yup. The largest fee increase is for weekend/stat_holiday service - fair enough. Wording on the site is 30 business days to process. If greater, then your fee is refunded. :)

Not an April fool. Announced today. Fees have gone up but only _very_slightly_

I need to seriously have a hard talk with the 10-17% that don't think the files should be released (or is that a Gee-I-Dunno %)?

Been there, many, many years ago. Had a great meal and a great chat with the waitress.

It should be zero. WTF are they thinking, or are they not?

I am one of those many people.
I didn't ask for it.
I don't need it.
I don't want it.

Rutte is as useful as tits on a bull. Has been right from the moment he was appointed.
