I tripped and fell over one time and the racket I made woke my dog up. He looked across at me lying on the floor, yawned and went back to sleep. "Still alive? Jolly good. Wake me again at dinnertime."

Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?

Aw man, I shot Marvin in the face.

You know what they call a quarter pounder in Paris?

And you will know that I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Oh dear, I didn't read them! Little England xenophobia at its finest.

That's true actually - they are escalating pretty hard already.

As a long-term peacenik though, I hate the thought of gun battles on the streets. I wish you all the very best. I first visited the US in 1976 and have toured around a lot since then. My one single bad experience was Homeland Security when transiting through LAX. We're tourists not terrorists, jeez cool your jets! I can't imagine how bad ICE is.

There's a character called Titty in Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons". The BBC changed her name to Kitty for the TV adaptation.

I suspect your government would love it if you started shooting. They'd declare martial law. Goodbye elections, hello police state.

This happened in my country in 2021: https://youtu.be/ZZcoXdZeabA No guns involved, just a load of people prepared to stand around all day blocking the vans.

Get yourselves organised.

I touch-type, so yes.

What's bizarre to me is that in the olden days, ie pre-internet, millions of people happily paid up every single day to read the news in a format that was stuffed with adverts. Newspapers, remember them? The ads helped pay production costs. People sometimes bought newspapers FOR the ads - job search, car sales, accomodation, real estate.

I pay the Guardian £75 a year - slightly up from the £60 it was when I first started the online ad-free subscription like ten years ago or whatever. This is because I hate the intrusive nature of online advertising, and I appreciate most of the Guardian's journalism. It seems like a good deal to me.

Ken Cheng is a British comedian. He likes to take the piss out of business people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Cheng

They also look amazing, with a stunning variety of forms and foliage.

Fucking idiot killed his son himself.There was no "virus". He went with "you're dead to me". Vivian said that this is who she is and he killed her for it. He's the loser - she's living her truth and he's blind to who he really is. What a clown.

Planning what will probably be my last ever trip to NZ to visit family, with a stopover in Japan on the way back. Happening in Oct/Nov.

I've signed up for donation for dissection. One slight caveat is that the institution - in my case a medical school - can decline to take your body if you've died of something infectious or if it's been too damaged, eg in a crash. If all goes well, they collect the body, and when they're finished with it they have it cremated. Family can have the ashes if they want. There's a nice memorial garden with the names of donors. It's all free... I mean, this is the medical school where Burke and Hare sold their murder victims, so they're quite grateful to get your corpse for nothing.

I don't know about the States, but in the UK dog-walking can be a lucrative business.

That kind of biscuit is a scone.

Meanwhile in New Zealand, Scotch pancakes are called pikelets. I made pikelets here in Scotland and someone called them drop scones. Shit really is crazy.

I fully support the choice to remove the bins. I visited a beauty spot in Scotland recently that has a coffee van in the carpark. The young couple I took there went to add their empty cups to the already overflowing bin, and were baffled when I insisted they take them to the car, which was ten steps away. "But there's a bin!" Yes you numpties, and the wind is already spreading its contents everywhere. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

Erm, more than a few arrived in chains, entirely against their will.

18 - I thought I was fat because waifs were in style, but my body was actually banging. I'm 72. I would most of all appreciate being arthritis free, with major organs all working at optimum.

Look after your knees, people.
