Got a little olive tree in the yard, and since it's been frosty and damp, I've wrapped it up with fleece to protect it and tied it up with string, that should keep it perfectly saf...

Oh.

Rang a laundry place as I need some help. I ask how much to wash and dry a light microfibre mattress topper. £24. I check Argos, a new one is £21-£24. Make it make sense.

Your spate of Bill Nelson reposts had me worried. Tell me he's okay?

Bill Nelson, one of the best IMHO, listen to the solos in 'Crying to the Sky' and soar.

This is possibly my favorite product answer yet:

Q: Will this deodorizing spray get rid of dead animal smell?
A: Yes, but you need to remove the dead animal or you will need to keep applying it.

My carefully considered, nuanced and balanced policy view is that we should tax gambling profits, including sports betting, at like 98% and one executive's kidney per quarter.

I'm not sure having every UK mainstreet be three quarters Ladbrokes is good, actually.

I have three thoughts on the Budget: 1) EVs use roads, so should pay something to use them, and the fact that the existing fuel duty/road tax system is shite doesn’t somehow create an exception for them; 2) gambling firms moaning can fuck off into the sun, we should bankrupt the cunts;

Hello - serious question. If anyone has a Seasalt handyband, are they the same thing as the snoods? The pictures make them look smaller. I am looking for a kind of jersey tube about 30/40cm.

Buried at the bottom of a FAQ behind a 'beware of the leopard' sign etc, it turns out Wordery (who used to be a good alternative to bookshop monoliths but whose website has been 'under construction' for about 6mo) are being borged into Blackwells (Waterstones): support.wordery.com/hc/en-gb/art...

New signs will warn motorists about frogs and toads crossing from Risinghurst gardens to the CS Lewis Nature Reserve in spring. The Frog & Toad Patrol group has been given four warning signs by Oxford City Council, funded by local councillor Chewe Munkonge’s ward budget.
