A peripatetic plundering pulchritudinous polymath with abject alliteritis
Oooh I say!

61.1% ABV #Ardnahoe Society 2025 official bottling.

Rich bourbon. Oloroso/PX.

Oily. Sticky Coating Mouthfeel. Peat fire and unctuous nutty sherry notes.

Amped up to the top!

Spectacular Winter dram.

What???

A Ghanaian wise man? A very black wise man?

In contemporary UK?

Tis the stuff of fancy, foppishness, folly or fatuous frippery!

I'm truly of the view that she was / is "not completely all there".

Don't forget @conservatives.bsky.social chose her over dusky Rishi. She was after all 'whiter than white'. Nasty racism can be found in many places. I predict a Reform - Tory pact on that basis going forwards.
She understands British values so poorly. The British thing would be to make this into a self-parody, hamming up how bad she was at being PM rather than attempting the unrecognised prophet genius act.

If truly reported, it is time to abandon universal sufferage!

Else we're all gonna suffer mightily!

"The King Canute theory of inflation" invokes the 11th-C monarch who is purported to have tried — and failed — to control waves with words.

In another metaphor, central bankers are now akin to shamans, using verbal intervention to shape prices.

Truth is we know nothing and understand even less.

Enid could not have written something this sloppily ambiguous. It reads as if the 5 peeps were incinerated. But it could be the car. Or the house!

In the UK. 6th biggest global economy.

An utter and shambolic disgrace.

It's up to @teamlabouruk.bsky.social to solve it.

Too slow, too little, too late for so many.

About 0.3 million drop in consultant-led #NHS referrals between Sept 23 and Sept 25.

At this rate, it will be 15-20 years before waiting lists are appropriate.

Shameful sloth.

Dutch cheese.

I've never understood the fetishisation of 'cheese' in the Netherlands.

It's clearly never o'curd to them that their efforts are both undistinguished and unpleasant. No whey will I buy or taste any more!
