I would like all the signs and portents to stop implying England will beat Scotland tomorrow. Keep tempting fate like this and 5 Duhan van der Merwe's will show up and dance through the defense all day :(

Aaaaannd, the cold has probably killed the 12v battery in the Phev. I hate cars sometimes.

Man, few things give me more schadenfreude/make me angrier than people complaining about a thing because it's doing exactly what it's supposed do. "This congestion charge is so stupid, it's really going to make me stop driving through this busy city."

Bowling with the family. Forget beating the wife, it's taking all of my effort to stay ahead of the 5 year old! Obviously the 3 year old is beating everyone

I am *terrible* with names and faces. So bad I've played weekend sports tournaments with people and then not recognised them on Tuesday. So take this with a handful of salt, but... Luigi Mangione doesn't look like the guy in the wanted posters.

Working from home, it's way too easy to just not leave the house for a week. But if I worked in an office, would only seeing my office, car and home really be that different?

I'm not going to quibble about paywalls on news sites. I don't like them but I get it - gotta get paid to function, etc. Except I think it should be illegal for places to put 'you have reach your monthly article limit' in a pop up when your monthly article limit is 0.

Somehow a lightbulb managed to fall out of a light fitting and one of the metal connectors disconnected in the process. Bulb's shot now even after wedging the connector back in. Bit weird something like that could even happen, tbh.

Maybe it's just me, but I kind of feel that if you're going to announce a 'sustainable farming scheme', but you've removed all the things in it that make farming 'sustainable', you shouldn't be allowed to call it that anymore. www.gov.wales/updated-plan...

I'm given to understand the news out of COP29 is bad, and I have to ask... Is anyone surprised? When has it not been bad, it's not like we're systematically destroying the livable space we have on the planet or anything...

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

Good morning! Our petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... has just passed 10,000 signatures so Defra must respond. Thank you to 9,999 others who have signed it! But we shouldn't stop there - please share and promote so that we reach 100,000 signatures and get a parliamentary debate.

Ah the "I know we just went for a walk but mummy just left and I want to go out again" face.

Anyone else get the sense they were there to witness the birth of a new religions liturgy? Minister: "look at this absolute unit" Congregation: "the hog grows longer"

Why is London an hour behind the rest of the country? I swear every time I come here the place runs on 10-6 time. It's like I'm jet-lagged from a 2 hour train ride.

Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson, the Earl of Derby – they’re up in arms about paying tax on the vast areas of land they own. Small farmers are worried that changes to Agricultural Property Relief (APR) will affect them. But who are the big landowners complaining the loudest? Thread: 1/
