Can I just say that if Reform get in, the idea of anyone being vetted for anything will not exist. And we'll all scream that they are criminals.. but no one will do a thing.

It’s £1,700 in today’s money

Pretty laid back and communal. Women outnumbered men by about 3:1 and in a pub that I walked into I think all the players were women.Something to do on a Tuesday night, I guess

So you were proper into it? Think I went to one uke meet up. Just the one.

Yeah, nicer than a 4 string ( which I have somewhere)

Laws that are pretty much unenforceable are bad laws and your average corner shop owner won’t be challenging any 35 year olds when the time comes. However, do the shopkeepers get penalised? Imagine the brouhaha

It’s the ageism, isn’t it? Odd when we think it’s about older people but going into a shop and never being able to buy something that others can. “44 and I still can’t buy 20 Woodbines”

Technology Palantir manifesto described as ramblings of a supervillain' amid UK contract fears

This is fine. Everything’s fine meme ( dog on chair, drinking coffee, flames)

and accessing hardcore porn on X because it’s set at 13+. They’re children; this should have been sorted 15-20 years ago. What do children do at that age? They show it to their younger brothers and sisters. Because they’re children. Absolutely criminally neglectful

I’m a double bagger (tea)

I’ll only do the late night aperitif Spirit In The Sky

Interesting. I had a mate who sold his electric guitar and the mark up for the shop was 25%. That was about 15 years ago and, of course, the financial landscape has changed considerably. Good to know, ta.

Morning

Have a Happy Olly Robbins Day, everyone!

If they can sell it for £80 (as long as the tuners are good and the neck isn’t warped) you should get £60

Wondering if the artist is alluding to the radioactivity on her by having the light shine in to highlight her right hand

Just to let everyone know, for the nth time, I don’t want another Prime Minister after the last time we had four in a revolving door.

The world’s on fire and we need stability.
’10 to ‘24 was a disaster and you have amateurs in the Greens and swivel-eyed Loons in Reform. Things will get better.

Marmalade are a Scottish pop rock band originating from the east end of Glasgow, originally formed in 1961 as the Gaylords, and then later billed as Dean Ford and the Gaylords, recording four singles for Columbia (EMI).

Had a big hit with Ob La Di, Ob La Da…

From the SipsTea community on Reddit: People in Poland dress up and LARP as Americans from Ohio in a popular annual 4th of July event Explore this post and more from the SipsTea community

“The 4th of July LARP is an annual roleplaying event in Poland where participants immerse themselves in the lives of contemporary Americans. Set in the fictional "Pristine Park, Ohio," players transform Polish holiday resorts into simulated trailer parks” Why doesn’t this have its own Netflix show??

82 is a zip and there are foot grips on the unit. Imagine the TikTok vids from passersby

🧵Spotted at a Country Market in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A small human (6?) is telling a friend in VERY grave tones: "My Dad isn't good at LEGO. I am. But he's not."
His friend (8?) says earnestly: "But you can teach him! He'll learn if you show him how!" (1)

Willing to be corrected, but the story doesn’t ring true. Battery capacity, distance and actuator (motors) wear and tear are against it. Something amiss about the whole thing

The ones I have arent baggy.
Decathlon and a tight fit on the legs, black and most necessarily very stretchy.
Anything else and I’d be going back 35 years, to a certain Hell

But the comfort, Den! I’m new to joggers due to an increase in girth. Jeans yesterday. Apart from the discomfort it was me going Full Builder. Unpleasant.

Can someone please give this guy his nose back?

Between Iraq and a Kharg place.

Happy first birthday to this #cartoon which was published in The Phoenix Magazine #carehome #old

That Gen Z sketch as part of the news was excellent. Bonkers stuff #SNLUK

Catching up with last week’s (!) #SNLUK episode. Can’t remember the last time I laughed so much at a sketch in this kind of format: The Dad Swap

Generally should be avoided. Putting electronics into a closed space, which is what gives you the low voltage, shouldn’t be encouraged ( though it is) due to possible heat issues. Also if a high wattage item is plugged into the 3 pin socket (more heat), they then fail
