Oh flip! Just used this year’s ISA allocation with Trading212 because Martin Lewis recommended them. I wonder if he knows? Won’t make that mistake again.

Absolutely this. My friend bought his first house with the overtime he worked in the late 90s on the Y2K “problem”.

I’m always looking for things that explain a lot but that people have a hard time remembering.

Examples: Air is stuff. Pee comes from blood. All land vertebrates have a single common ancestor. Venus is bright enough to cast visible shadows. Clouds are heavy. Bones are alive.

Any others you know?

Seriously, I don’t even know what day it is 🤷‍♀️

I’ve posted this before but I think it’s one of the funniest anecdotes about him, wit, humour and humility. If ever there was a time we needed him #Bowieforever

How are we even considering a multinational company insisting on building a plastic bottle factory in community woodland? Axing mature trees for saplings elsewhere isn’t an exchange worth considering. Is it still true that if they move the offices offsite, there’s room internally to expand?

Good Lord! I can almost see Harrogate Town’s football ground from where I am right now, but I find out the score from you in the US. Bloody marvellous, this Bluesky thing 😁

Went to sleep at 7 am, woke up at noon, here's what I missed:

—Cho Kuk's party has presented impeachment bill. Main opposition party also plan to do so before EOD
—Chief of Staff and other senior secretaries have resigned. Cabinet itself still in talks about resigning

My highly educated son-in-law thought narwhals were mythical creatures.

“No! Surely not!! They’re just sea unicorns.”

“Well actually…”

We still giggle about it now.

FAFO

iPlayer only works in GB (have tried abroad even though I have a tv licence). Ludwig is brilliant.

For your Winter amusement. The names 😆

I occasionally work in a VERY noisy office with lots of distractions. I use Loops to help me concentrate. They stop me having to put one finger in my ear whilst on the phone. I find they work well, blocking out as much noise as I need them to.

Ah yes. Would anybody like a Horse’s Duvet?

Duvet - now there’s a cracker of a mispronunciation possibility.

Interesting. Thank you.

Not me fella. I voted to remain. We’re a small country off the coast of Europe that was f*cked over by the previous government. All being well this present lot will do better. But what we don’t have is a bunch of unbalanced folks and their friends in charge of the nuclear codes tho…

Serious question from someone watching from the sidelines in the UK.

Do you folks have a Plan B when this all *waves broadly at the incoming USA administration*
inevitably collapses into chaos, infighting and deadlock. Who is in charge if/when your government fails?

It’s looking a bit black over the back of Bill’s mother’s

This is very true

Christmas Eve Eve and I’ve just seen my first Cadburys Crème Egg. Good grief! #BahHumbug
