It’s quite rare to be just shy of 61 and to never have taken antibiotics.

Rocking up first at the allotments when my shed padlock key refused to function meant I rived it off using a lump of iron.
Fortunately, a couple of plotters turned up, located an old hasp and made a far better job of it than the original shed-makers.

Pissed blackbirds abound. They’re fighting in the air instead of feasting. Flapping about like evil nutters.

Allosaurus was around about 155 million years ago, back in the Late Jurassic, and they roamed around for about 10 million years before they went extinct.

The first flowering plants, or angiosperms, didn’t appear until about 130 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous.

Katie Johnson was violently raped by Trump & Epstein when she was a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD. Katie subsequently dropped the lawsuit she filed when her life was threatened. This is what Trump voters chose to ignore when they voted for a sociopathic child rapist.

Thames Water has an outrageous proposal to *pollute illegally* for the *next 15 years*. 🚰💩

Ofwat‘s response to thousands disagreeing with this?

“We are not able to make detailed comments, as these points form part of that ongoing consideration”.
Regulation won't fix our broken water system.

You have until 3rd December to tell DEFRA exactly why their plans for a new fines system won't work.

Take 2 minutes now to complete the consultation.

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.

They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

Even better, the effect was strongest in people in their 70s and 80s.
