Runt samma tid som Auschwitz befriades lyckades en viss SS-rottenfuhrer Ekström undkomma rättvisan genom att smuggla sig ut ur Tyskland genom de vita bussarna. Ni kan inte ana vad som hände 43 år senare?

My Dad read the Telegraph every day, because he had dementia and he thought broadsheets were the only “proper” newspapers. After a while my Mum cancelled it and gave him the same copy every morning. He never noticed. He just read it, and forgot, and napped. Telegraph knows who its readership is.

In these days many of us are pondering over the meaning of life. Here's my take so far: 1/I have lived all my adult life as an eternal optimist and with the intention to do my share in making the world into a better place.

Män projicerar så enormt ofta och där: i bristen på förmågan till mentalisering har vi roten till många eländiga fenomen. Oönskade dickpics? De skulle själva älska såna bilder från tjejer och tror att det funkar likadant åt andra hållet. Snuskprat direkt vid ny kontakt på nätet? Samma sak där. Igen.

Never shame anyone in poverty. Add your thrift tips to help out. 1. Definitely saves money to plan. 2. Shop near closing time for reduced meat. 3. Batch cook, freeze flat in food bags to save space. 4. Economise on budget shower gel, soap, washing powder. They are usually good enough.
