I'm not normally one for football but when a League Two team takes Man U down in a 12 round penalty shoot out, you've got to think those Grimsby Town boys are having their biggest night ever tonight

I guess that's me stuck here for the foreseeable then?
She's not a big lap cat and I can't bring myself to move her

To the butter fans out there.
You're absolutely not imagining it, butter prices have gone from USD 3200 to 7900 in 5 years
That's 20% inflation on average!

I'm in Oxford and I cannot find NZ butter here.
The Anchor butter isn't from NZ. What butter there is, is from the UK or Denmark.

FWIW butter is at least NZ $25/kg here, more like $30

If you see this, and you're in the mood for this kind of thing, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

They missed the best one of all though, Slapshot!

You can definitely see the benefits of the new fiscal philosophy. Absolutely nailing it for the last two quarters

Someone has already recycled C8 so now I'll never know. Is $8.5m enough to retire on?

Spotted this little guy who'd been caught in the storm this afternoon.
He's looking much less bedraggled and cold now after a feed and somewhere warm to sit

Omg, that's Jury's Inn!
I'd never have recognised it if you hadn't said it was at the Wolvercote roundabout.
The area has been built up a little since then

There's a little dry humour (or irony?) in his olympic bio
His philosophy? "Success doesn't come with your hands in your pockets"

Reform re-entering the fray might take enough Tory votes to essentially finish them off.
There's a not insubstantial change that they might not even be the party in opposition. They would be DONE

Apparently this linkedin post isn't satirical
Unless all the enthusiastic replies were in on the joke, but I fear not

Even a phone camera with a long exposure can do a good job.
This is taken in the UK tonight. even with street lights 20m away the phone is amazing

So, in quality improved in less than half the group (did it actually get worse for 60%?) and if AI was used outside the prescribed set of tasks it was LESS likely to give correct solutions.
They're not exactly selling it to me

As seen in Stockholm. It did give me a laugh.

I think this was the one that I had, I remember the blue button and the three mode switch
I didn't realise what they're worth either. A quick check on eBay cut short my nostalgia trip

Schools end up paying to have their fields mowed every week in the middle of winter at extortionate cost
