It is! I was lucky enough to see them last weekend and it was a little slice of heaven.

It’s legal up to 24 weeks. Legal after 24 weeks if doctors sign it off. Very poor journalism, as are most of the articles on the UK from the Washington Post these days.

Update: the husband came rushing down the road to apologise because the doomsday prepper wife had obviously torn into him for being rude when he told her what he’d said. Whilst apologising a bee appeared from our hot mess of a front garden so now we have the upper hand AND we’re biodiversity kings.

I vote Aus and UK just boot America out and bring France in. We can call it something amusing that sounds a bit like fuckers.

I can’t go too far though because his wife is American and when we get wine into her she tells me all about her doomsday prepping.

I like this. I suspect the comment has been brewing because last summer we asked him to lower his bird scarers. He’d made them with CDs and hung from his trees and the reflection into our house was enough to burn your retinas off. He’s played a long game and I appreciate that. I now ponder my move.

The same week they announce we can jointly moan about future delays in a Germany-UK train service we are gifted with Thomas Tuchel’s mother! Truly we are re-building bridges between our nations.

Good grief.

Oooh is it Smiggle related? The schools my kids were at had to ban Smiggle because the kids spent all day smelling scented pens and if you didn’t have Smiggle you were an outcast.

Go for it. Although whilst I’m currently watching Trump have your army boo journalists and former presidents I’m going to point out that having an actual King be in charge of your armed forces might be an option to consider.

I’d suggest the press pack maybe get off Twitter and stop repeating the same lines. The entire ā€˜Labour have had a terrible start’ narrative that all the press also repeat stemmed from WFA. Maybe that’s not true either if you look at what they’ve actually achieved. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

The idea pensioners were all going to starve and freeze to death was driven by the media relentlessly since it was introduced. Not just the right wing papers, everyone. Views of the general population never properly discussed.

Historically inaccurate because he wasn’t the last but what might be useful is the Glorious Revolution in 1688 where absolute monarchy was limited by Parliament to be constitutional monarchy. But that did involve asking William of Orange to invade. Maybe give the Dutch a ring?

It was awful. Couldn’t help as was shoved into the tram by the crowd behind me. No staff anywhere.

I’m thinking a gently irritating visa route for Americans would really piss Trump off. And tbh we’re going to need some Americans to come and work at Universal UK because we don’t enjoy customer service or smiling at strangers.

Witnessed a terrible push the trams after semi 2, bit like getting a rush hour tube in London or Tokyo. Except in both those cities the man in the wheelchair would have been helped on first instead of being trapped in the push and then left on the platform with more crowds surging in front of him.

I’ve travelled three years in a row now. The atmosphere is dwindling, it was knife edge at those results on Saturday. I’ll go somewhere fun next year but it won’t be Austria. I’ll be back but I need a break until things get back on track. ā¤ļø What’s been going on here whilst I’ve been away?

4) Now, we have countries (regardless of song) guaranteed up to about 300 televote points before the contest even starts. It’s not sustainable. Even more people will lose faith in voting and it’s outrageous when some countries are charged a euro per vote. Broadcasters will stop putting effort in.

3) The EBU cannot ignore the voting problems anymore. We were already factoring in bloc voting and diaspora skewing public votes which already gave some countries an obvious advantage.

2) The prices were absolutely crippling. We do need a more affordable ESC soon coz Austria isn’t exactly cheap either.

It is. They made him sound particularly terrible though. 😬

I’m not over this.

I will in both semi and final. Think she’s going to absolutely smash it.

I think I’d actually like this to win.
