After a woman was raped in her hotel room… Travelodge now says staff must get explicit consent before giving someone a key to a guest’s room.

I genuinely cannot get over the fact that this apparently needed to be written down as a NEW RULE in 2026. What the actual fuck.

Took Paddington to the vets as I thought he was going deaf.

£135 later, turns out he isn’t deaf, he just doesn’t give a fuck.

@complaints78773 NEXT have cancelled the card now and issued an e certificate instead. I won’t be sending anything important in the post again I’m afraid

[Amanda F @AJKent33]

@RoyalMail the wait times on your helpline are ridiculous. I’m trying to determine the whereabouts of a gift card that you’re apparently supposed to be delivering. It was purchased on 20th from Next and tracking continuously says you’ll let me know once you’ve attempted delivery

Long ramble:
I have been mulling if I should comment on President Trump's inane comments about NATO involvement in Afghanistan. Although 35 years ago, during the US-led first Gulf War, I was lying, handcuffed & blindfolded - literally 'shoulder to shoulder' - with a US colleague on a concrete floor in an Iraqi interrogation bunker, I rather feel it should be the current generation who express any anger at the President's ludicrous, demonstrably false utterings. Which is why I earlier shared some posts from others.
But perhaps I will reflect like this - I watched Trump's press conference in the wake of the terrible tragedy when a US helicopter collided with a civilian airliner last January in disbelief. 64 people lost their lives but it seemed to be about him - his expertise, his knowledge, what he thought had happened. Much of what he said was incorrect.
So I realised back then that it was going to be pointless trying to analyse any upcoming word-salads. Everything is clearly about him; his expertise in every subject, his grasp of all situations. His need to say something, anything, to show he is the best, the cleverest, the smartest, the most knowledgeable kid on the block.
The pub-bore, the braggart, the know-it-all, pontificates on anything and everything in the hope of bolstering their own, clearly very low, self-esteem.
I wonder that, in the President's mind, that it doesn't matter if what he says is factually correct? I wonder if he knows, understands, even cares, what is true? He is saying some words, which in his mind, seems to suggest that he's important and people will admire him, laud him. The fact that everyone around him then applauds this character trait, thanking him for his 'leadership' at every turn, just amplifies his desire, his need to continue. He's got want he wants - in his mind - attention, praise, admiration.
So to sum up, trying to analyse Trump's ramblings is like trying to play chess with a pigeon. Somewhat interesting at first, but ultimately, truly pointless and rather frustrating.
To those he has hurt, insulted, vilified, I send you my deepest condolences for your loss, and gratitude for your service.

Every parent should send this video to their children and explain to them that:

If you find yourself in an overcrowded place leave.

If a fire breaks out, don’t pull out your phone, get out immediately.

Don’t film your friends dying, break the window and save them.

My father always used to say to me: “You only have one life to live. Don’t be stupid.” (Actually stronger words to that effect).

So sad to see this. Robert Redford has died at the age of 89.

He is now reunited with his close friend Paul Newman.

“There are certain friendships that are sometimes too good and too strong to talk about.” ~ Robert Redford

Praying for his loved ones. 🙏🏻

[Amanda F @AJKent33]

@RightPulseNewss Yes. Look at the pure terror on her face in her last living seconds. That poor poor woman

[Allison Pearson @AllisonPearson]

Robert Redford has died.
Most handsome man of his generation- swoon to see him asleep in white uniform
on a barstool in The Way We Were. Brilliant Sundance to Newman’s Butch, same again in The Sting.
I interviewed him. A true gentleman and a great movie star. RIP

[Amanda F @AJKent33]

@the_zb_ Oh that is beyond heartbreaking, I’m so sorry for your loss.

[Amanda F @AJKent33]

@MancLorenzo Very sad, I love Lisbon and I went on that in June. Would never have expected this

A wholesome moment.
