I'm suing the BBC - just as soon as I have worked out a cause of action which won't have my legal counsel recognising an idiot client, then stinging me for a stupid amount of fees before telling me to stop wasting court time.
I’m suing the BBC because I’m a fucking loser who everybody hates.

Of course they may just have been "Remembering" the sack of Scarborough by Harald Hardrada in 1066, though to be fair this was avenged shortly after at Stamford Bridge.
The model battles started after the Great War, when Scarborough residents were understandably keen to watch tiny German battleships have the crap beaten out of them

I tell you what, if only people had government mandated serif fonts over here I wouldn't have spent the last year wondering why everyone was going on about Al

Aside from the fact that this is all bollocks, it did remind me of someone I met this week who was contemplating getting a Tesla.
"But aren't you concerned about all the Musk reputational stuff?"
"The what?"
Reader, I found someone who knew not even if his existence let alone politics.

I do everything in my lawful power to annoy Tesla owners because like many I don't like Elon Musk. Refuse to give way, park close to their car, drive slower than the speed limit if they're behind me, take longer at the pump if they're queuing, etc. Petty, but I don't care.

I gave up watching QT as I couldn't fathom why they kept on platforming Reform (and still hold them significantly responsible for giving all this free, unchallenged publicity).
I'd start watching again if I knew they were only inviting them on to publicly give them a pasting like this every week.

Polanski implicitly vows to fund the criminal justice system by the greatest amounts ever seen - all to obviate the need for remand!
All serious crimes, or instances of anticipated non-compliance, will presumably be expedited to trial.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers.
It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.
All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

@pa.nton.cx starts spotting sketchy boats with VERY long anchors to drag accidentally
Jan De Nul Group officially launched the world’s largest cable-laying vessel. The Fleeming Jenkin is 215 metres long, can carry 28,000 tonnes of cable, and install cables in ultra-deep waters up to 3,000 metres.

I'm as centrist dad as they come.
I honestly don't see the point in such hate for Starmer, even though I've never been a Labour person. I even think that there have been some good steps made in the last few months.
But this... No. I can't support any govt that thinks this is acceptable.

Once in a US restaurant I needed help with interpretation as I couldn't understand the names of all the dressings being rattled off by the waitress so quickly.
Strikingly, I noted that "Ranch" and "French" rhyme in America.

I once got in an argument with a Norwegian coworker who said that America never created any real culture. I pointed out things like jazz and he was like “but really that’s African and Caribbean,” so finally I landed on ranch dressing, and I am proud to confirm that we got that goin for us

I'm willing to tolerate a lot of the American food bollocks masquerading as commentary when it is just ragebait.

So this MP is making short explainers on the other place. You'd think that education is largely a good thing. But if you search his name on here you will find nothing but the MMT crowd shouting him down as a neolib.

Noting my italian niece who, on describing a mushy fruit in the bottom of the shopping basket called it "squashato"
My partner's language with siblings is second generation family Italian via Malta with English accents. Lots of English verbs can be made Italian if you add semi-appripriate suffixes, it turns out

Is it really surprising if, when raised on a diet of films littered with "good guys" breaking rules to get the bad guys, eventually someone gets into power who missed the class on "actually in real life we do tend to follow the rules or things go to cack rather fast"?
This is explicitly confirming the allegation: that he's ordering the killings for their own sake. The logical implication of which is hit them again if there are any survivors, which is both exactly what the Post reported and a cold-blooded textbook war crime.
a lot of words, none of them denying that Hegseth gave an order to kill helpless people who were stranded at sea after he blew up their boats
