He didn't care if his last running mate lived or died. And he doesn't care if you live or die. is something that should have probably been said a lot more last year.

Since caramelized onions always take longer than you think they will, this post just set the new baseline to at least 2 hours. But don’t go in thinking it will take 2 hours, or else they’ll take 3.

It's not"comedy on prescription". It's an intervention from a charity that could be 1 option for someone receiving social prescribing support.

Ed Miliband, the secretary of state, has written a strongly worded letter to the regulator asking them for help. You are the secretary of state. You are the government. Why not just nationalise the greedy parasites? www.theguardian.com/money/2025/f...
