This week, my eldest presented me with this incredible (belated) Mother’s Day gift. The subject is my crush/idol/heartthrob of 40 years @magnef
It’s not a photo… it’s cross-stitched! She used over 50 different coloured threads!! @aha_com#Aha
It’s downright ridiculous that you can be inundated by threatening letters warning of a visit your address simply because you have a tv. There are vulnerable people out there who are being bullied into buying a TV licence!! This has to stop!
In episode 2 of The Pitt. Nothing compared to GA so far. Not quite as … inspiring as New Amsterdam (although one of the cast looks the spitting image of Freema (Martha) - apparently no relation though!)
I’ll give it a few more episodes…
Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 an hour.
A Freddo cost 10p.
One hour of work bought you 50 Freddos.
In 2026, minimum wage is £12.71 and a Freddo is 39p.
One hour of work now buys you just 32 Freddos.
So despite minimum wage more than doubling, your Freddo buying power has fallen by 36%.
If wages had actually kept pace with Freddo inflation, minimum wage would be £19.65 an hour today.
Forget economists. Forget politicians.
The Freddo has just delivered the most depressing cost of living graph you'll ever see.
I think seasons 17 & 18 of Grey’s Anatomy are the worst! So much so that I’ve switched it off at the end of 18. It’s all race, religion and sexuality now.
🚨#BREAKING: A 3-YEAR-OLD BOY HAS BEEN THROWN INTO A CROCODILE ENCLOSURE BY A 30-YEAR-OLD MALE AND HAS BEEN MAULED.
THE ATTACK WAS "RANDOM" AND THE MAN TOSSED THE BOY AT THE CROCODILES IN THE UK.
HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED M*RDER.
THEY ARE NOT NAMING THE ATTACKER.
Norway fans are doing a “Viking Row” up the escalator at Boston’s South Station before heading to the World Cup
Adding this to the list of things I’ve never seen before and probably never will again
@SantinoKal@ThinkingAtheist I never mentioned race…
I do believe there are aliens with higher intelligence than us. Where does your firmament end? A little light at the top for a sun? Is space a projection, beyond the firmament or within it?
@SantinoKal@ThinkingAtheist Again, most definitely not. Nobody knows everything. So, in your version of the truth, who/what is god? Is ‘He’ an invisible magic man in the sky? Is ‘He’ hiding in a fake moon control centre like in The Truman Show? Controlling ‘the simulation’?
I saw my neighbor having a full conversation with her cat this morning.
She genuinely thought the cat was listening to every word.
I came home and told my dog. We both laughed.
