The UK is so suffocatingly expensive. And yet people are tying flags to lampposts as if it's refugees who are ripping them off for food, transport, entertainment, rent...
That feeling when you're accustomed to all public transport being 25 pence, and then you come to London on holiday and pay over twenty quid just to get your family from zone 5 to zone 1.
Only regret was not getting to Melbourne. Just too bloody expensive with a trip to the UK coming up. But yep, was magic.

When I was campaigning for Australian Greens in the recent election, we were up against Labor telling everyone that the only party of meaningful environment action was themselves. “Action, not outrage!”, the guy kept shouting over my conversations at the polling station.
That “action”:
“Gonna make me feel like I’m the only gull in the world”
As many as four computers believed to be impacted
The best comment I’ve read on Labor approving an extension to Australia’s dirtiest gas mining project until my kids are nearly 60.
They don’t mess around in Queensland
I think this is still my favourite joke from my old Grauniad cartoons.
Just seen that Leeds and Burnley are now mathematically relegated from the 2025/26 Premier League. Commiserations to their long suffering fans
