Spain has declared its opposition to Donald Trump's illegal war. If the UK grows some balls and does as well, then where will Israel get its jet fuel from?
Oooooh suggestions please of how to increase Reform Ltd's mail bill. Target: £9 million so that it effectively wipes out the donation from the Singaporean businessman.
All being well, I'll be getting a bonus in the next few months. A significant proportion of that will be donated- in cash- to my local food bank. They need money to pay their bills. Then, in Jan/Feb, when physical donations have dried up, that's when I'm going to be donating food...
I've just received a Christmas Turkey from a food bank. WHY?! Because: - My mate works for a food bank - They are overwhelmed with donations - They need to create space for food that families need NOW.
If governments can introduce rules about plastic bottle caps, then they can introduce rules about the type of adhesive used on labels. In 2025, there is absolutely no reason why I shouldn't be able to peel a label off without swearing.
I've just thought of a fantastic way for my kids to avoid inheritance tax when I die. I'm going to spend my money now doing stuff with them, like taking them to Disney [Paris, of course] while they are young, then trekking in Nepal and stuff like that when they're older.
Made a terrible mistake today. Driving past a hotel accommodating people seeking asylum, I saw one of these protests. Put the window down and shouted at the protesters, "ill educated neds!".
"Ned" stands for "Non Educated Delinquent", so the "ill educated" bit was the mistake.
I think I was actually quite reserved in my reply. Mrs "all four of mine" will get a fucking lecture in the playground tomorrow though. LISTEN TO EXPERTS YOU THICK CUNTS.
For context: when I wrote that, I was into the second hour of listening to my 7 and 9 year old play some guessing game. It was getting slightly repetitive.
Much as though I despise the idea of giving Amazon any money at all, I have Alexa on my Denon HEOS stuff. And I will pay any amount of money to Jeff Bezos to have the function for it to ignore my kids voices.
Just had an argument (discussion?!) with my wife, who appears to be giving FAR too much credence to the shit that Facebook feeds her from GB "News". Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.
Message for every twenty-something who is considering voting Reform: You're going to have to be the one cleaning bed pans at 2am and picking fruit in the pouring rain if you get your way.
Annoyingly, because they receive "roughly equal" numbers of complaints of bias from each side of the political spectrum, they seem to think their output is 'balanced'. What they fail to mention is the breakdown of programme type vs. which way the complaint of bias insists.
Even before then, the theory was tosh. It's more like: the farmer feeds the horse oats. The horse takes a shit. The farmer collects the manure and sells it to the guy who rents one of his fields as fertiliser.
Dear websites, I really don't give a shit about #cookies. I care far more about not clicking some pointless popup every time I go to a new site. If I am worried about privacy, I'll just use a VPN or the computer at my local library. Ta.
Very glad to see the wonderful Dom Joly bringing Trigger Happy TV back for a stage show in Oct. Just got tickets. But Ticketmaster are the new Ryanair. £45 for a ticket? Nope! Add on a service charge, a facility charge and an order processing fee.
