I like words. Long words. Words that sound good. Made up words. Pleasing combinations of words. Grammar is for losers.
I like other stuff too like geekery, travel, photography, allotmenteering, food/cookery/baking. I blog at https://Whitemore.com

Pleased to discover that slightly misnaming the national chess championship you won as a school child is a much more serious offence than repeatedly racially abusing your fellow pupils and telling them they should go to the gas chamber

Two types of folk now, ones who resign for the most minor nothing, and ones that won't resign even when behaving outrageously.

Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Reeves' defensive crouch has defined her economic policy. Just try not to upset anyone, close your eyes and hope for the best.

It's a game of fine man margins. Elder stands off and let's cross go in for 1st. Ward decides to hack down a player in the box going nowhere for the 2nd. 3rd was going to sleep at a corner. All our own doing. They created nothing else really. Got to learn from this! #dcfcfans #dcfc

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Temerko, a Soviet-born oligarch and a major Conservative donor, told Belton that he and Johnson spent time… plotting the overthrow May. According to Temerko, Johnson had finally been persuaded to back Brexit in 2016 by a group of “eastern European businessmen”.

Every time there's a COP, there's more highly paid, well connected and determined fossil lobbyists attedning than anyone else. It's a climate conference for sceintists and government officials.
Can you explain why people paid $billions by the fossil fuel industry want to to attend such an event?

More than 1,600 fossil fuel lobbyists granted access to the Cop30 climate negotiations in Belém (Brazil), 12% up from last year’s talks in Baku, Azerbaijan.
What should be the most serious, urgent talks on the planet continue to be a farce.
