Also a friend of mine's mum who turns 75 today. She still has a towel that was a gift when she was born with the name Georgiana on it which is, erm, lovely. Except her parents had decided to call her Jennifer.

The solution to this is to use the song lyrics as your password. Use the same words for every password, adding a #1 on the end whenever a special character or number is required.

The brown stuff is a slightly clayey, loamy but dried out potting compost. The other thing is a slightly perished rubber grip that was removed from a wheelbarrow handle in 1987.

He's probably as welcome as anyone but isn't likely to attend unless there was some gain in political or financial capital involved.

We're changing our phone/broadband provider because BT has become unsustainably expensive. They've sent us three identical letters in the same envelope saying they're sorry to see us go. It's no wonder they're expensive if they do everything in triplicate.

"Less" works if read to apply only to the high-sugar part of the sentence - so their strategy is for 1) less high-sugar and 2) deep fried options. I don't think that's their intention.

Turns out the worked in the music promotion business and had recently given him a pair of jeans that had been given to the band Busted.

So, anyway, that's how I ended up owning a pair of jeans that were made for Busted.

No worry, says friend - he had some new, unworn jeans that didn't fit him which I could have.

Later that day we went to the pub where two young ladies, both somewhat inebriated, managed to spill a bottle of Rioja across the table and onto my lap.

Consequently, I was out of clean, dry trousers.

Once friend and neighbour had stopped laughing they helped me get out, and I went to shower and change into the one spare pair of trousers I'd brought with me.

On day 1, in a torrential downpour, we visited one of his neighbour's gardens to explore what might've been an overgrown bomb shelter. It wasn't; it was, in fact, a wet and well-rotted compost heap. We discovered this when I fell through the boards on the top, sinking in up to my armpits.

A thing that'll never stop fascinating me is that when you are carrying liquid in a container - say a mug of tea or coffee - and gently turn the container around, the liquid stays more or less in the same place. #science

Near me the council has recently taken action against someone for flying a Knights Templar flag from a very tall, unauthorised flagpole in their garden. Apparently you can only fly the flag at a premises that has something to do with the organisation, like a meeting hall or it's HQ or something.

Probably adding the liquid too quickly. You almost need to add it drip by drip rather than slosh by slosh. Also, use carnaroli instead of arborio.

Also also, use a dry vermouth instead of wine to get things going and make sure it's fully absorbed before adding any stock.

On balance, just best to hope he doesn't succeed in retaining power, by whatever means.

Yes, but it would also strengthen Orban's position in Hungary as the economic impact would be blamed on the EU. It would also risk emboldening similar far right leaders elsewhere.
The EU would be damned either way.

You have a point. Suspension might have greater effect than expulsion - but any course of action gives Orban a route to blaming the EU, which he undoubtedly would. The EU would be potentially damned whichever way.

That'd just give Orban (and his US and Russian backers) what he wants. It wouldn't be what the majority of Hungarians want, though, else Orban would've already used his platform to withdraw.

Stayed in a hotel in Saint Omer, Pas de Calais last summer. Best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Fluffy and creamy. So creamy. So, so creamy.

True story - friend of a friend was hospitalised when he failed to duck when someone shouted duck as a duck flew over an embankment and caught him across the face with its wing. 🦆
