I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no.
This is quite something.

'We invited a homeless man for dinner - he stayed for 45 years'

The man was only meant to stay for a day.

Alan. What a moment.

We can't tell you how grateful we are. We've adored watching you over the last three weeks, all the most so with that glimmer of hope that if you did win, it might just means something big for our small charity. And you did it.

As our faithful Patron for 9 years, your commitment, compassion and drive to bring hope to children and families gacing this agressive cancer have been nothing short of transformational. As a small charity with a big mission, you know how much this means to us.

For many years we've known you to be generous, warm, empathic and unfalteringly kind, and we're so pleased that the nation agrees with us on that.

Now we promise to do you proud. Our commitment to you is that through research, we will find better treatments and ultimately a cure for every child facing Neuroblastoma.

Alan, thank you.

do you realise that since 1980 the court in strasbourg has only heard 29 cases from
uk immigrants appealing deportation. 16 of which were found in the uk government's favour. there have been no cases heard in the last 5 years.
it's not the immigrants rights they want to remove it's yours.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

RIP to Diane Keaton. Not only a woman who made extraordinary films but someone who always seemed to be exactly herself, and to be enjoying the experience very much.
