Re-tyred Englishwoman who’d love to ride her bicycle but is not keen on dying just yet. Sad about the planet. Loves the British Isles / North West European Archipelago (see, we ARE still in Europe!). Don’t expect a cohesive theme; just what’s on my mind.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I hate "one of the only". He's either unique (the only) or he isn't (one of...).

I had to give up after a 1a cancer. Always need more people to replace the likes of me. 🅾️🅰️🅱️🆎️🩸➕️➖️

You are the only source I have for this.

Stolen from Instagram

Scene: a car has run off the road and crashed through a garden fence.
Text: My mate crashed his car this afternoon. He told the police the man he collided with was drinking a can of beer and on his mobile phone, but the police said he can do whatever he likes in his own back garden.

I have neurospicy relatives whose sense of humour doesn’t run to things someone might actually do. You just found someone who was prepared to call you out on it.

If I had Donald Trump as close a neighbour as Putin is to Ukraine, I’d quadruple military spending too.

Nobody listens to the old songs anymore! Plus, we need serifs on our capital letter i so it looks different from L.

Chorus lyrics from Paul Simon’s song “Call me Al” (that’s the name AL, not ai).
If you’ll be my bodyguard
I can be your long-lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty, when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me

Na na na na …

This explains all! My daughter was given a thick wadge of forms to fill in for her ADHD assessment. It sat completed on her mantelpiece for many weeks.

They were called The Pictae in Britannia by the invading Romans, in what is now Scotland. For centuries after, only sailors and those in their culture got inked; probably because of infection risk.

I can understand that. Most don't even know people like you, so it's easier to stir them up. I'm just doing all in my power to shift voting intentions away from Reform. They won Runcorn in a by-election by just six votes.
