I think if the Tories had picked a full-on Brexit enthusiast for PM instead of May there was a chance they could've sold an EEA compromise. Alas they didn't and May felt the need to prove her Brexit bona fides with her red lines.

Which means it's a little over five years since the "128 fake NHS Twitter accounts". I'm sure the evidence will turn up any day now…

It'll be fine as long as your kids don't make the connection with Howard from The Big Bang Theory.
Congratulations to your wife. 🍾

£6 for an ice cream? Jesus Mary Joseph and all of his carpenter pals.
No wonder there's violence between rival ice cream vans.

Congratulations on being significantly less of a gannet than me, who would've polished it off for breakfast.

The moment when Kodiak puts her hand on Hunt's shoulder as if to say "No, you're done. Stay down" and he actually complies was neat. Cruise may be in phenomenal shape for his age but O'Brian gives off the vibe that she could tear his head off his shoulders.

Contains possibly the most forced, unnecessary piece of backstory I've ever seen (the CIA henchman). A minute of screen time in an already overlong film which added precisely nothing to the plot.

Hopefully not, the Dems need to win in '28. AOC running for Senate and getting rid of Schumer would be an excellent result however.

My brother was a keyholder for his central Glasgow office and got called in repeatedly due to fires in adjoining buildings a few years back. Still, it's fine now, they've all been replaced with a brand-new retail+student flats development.

Some GP surgeries used to be arsey about passport applications so possibly doctors have been taken off the list to save their time for clinical work. There's also the point that it's common to be registered with a GP and have never met them.

This question was asked on twitter years back and the winner had to be the guy who went on two first dates on successive weekends and saw The Accused both times.

You're laughing? Hundreds of people are going without their overpriced coffees today because of staff shortages, and you're laughing?

The Tories boasting about their ethnically diverse Cabinet seems an awfully long time ago now.

It's hilarious some of the companies that have struggled with names in their computer systems. Personal highlights are Irish airline Aer Lingus being unable to cope with " ' " in names, and HSBC (what do those first two letters stand for again?) refusing to accept names with two characters.

The worst sunburn I ever got was in Scotland during a weekend hiking, mostly high up on the ridges. It was quite windy so didn't feel that hot. It was only when I got down to the visitor centre in Glen Nevis and saw my reflection that I realised my mistake. Full-on "peering into Reactor 4" vibe.

Jane Coaston enthusiastic about a risky endeavour? Now *there's* a coveted endorsement.
Mountaineering? Nope.
Cave diving? nowaynohow
Space Subaru? Hell Yeah!

If you insist on having a smart fridge, an Amazon tablet's magnets allow it to attach to a regular fridge door and it's unlikely to become part of a botnet. #NotVizTwopTipsButShouldBe

Both events the Tories were broadly on the right side of, too.

The bit from her documentary when she's talking with her dad about being more overtly political- "…protecting us from stalking. [points to self] STALKING." -is a hard watch.

👀 Looking forward to that spokesperson being thrown under the bus once LTW's lawyers catch up with the story.
Pretty much any conference facility is going to have baby changing facilities, it's not like they were holding it in the steel mill from the end of Terminator 2 or anything.

Some members of the British Army developed this ability during training. The downside was when they went into Hereford for a pint after work and realised that they hadn't fully decontaminated.

Dexedrine pops up several times in Fleming's Bond novels, either with Bond taking it or troops/henchmen being given it before an attack.
