So, it’s official. Right from the mouth of the president. There is no place in any public institution for those who are psychologically deficient of the skills required for the job.

There is a part of my brain that loves this list e.g. “2024 and 2025 is the first time since 122 we’ve had a square year following a tetrahedral year” Happy New Year everyone. May 2025 be full of happy coincidences in lots of other ways too!

So, it has finally been confirmed @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social that the scriptwriters have had secret cameras in our house all these years. The age, genders and personality types of all characters are spot on, even down to the war-obsessed late father-in-law #IAmHughDennis
