All the better for China then - they don't give a flying friar about anyone else.

What's the odds he looks at gay porn and visits The Blue Oyster Club?

I know, it's a start though.

China doesn't give a flying friar about anyone else. The fact that this could make launches difficult for them is neither here nor there.

They really don't care.

The Duke of Norfolk

In 2022 he unsuccessfully tried to argue that his role in organising the king’s coronation should exempt him from a driving ban after he was caught using his phone while running a red light. During his 21 years as a crossbench peer, he has voted 12 times – seven of which related to hunting – made no speeches and asked no written questions.

The defence rests.

I for one, welcome our new funghi overlords.

About time too. And after that go for the big hereditary position.

#21 Gives me 'Eye of Sauron' vibes.

Some of the responsibility needs to go onto owners though - you see people walking around with £1000+ phones like they are a slice of pizza. You wouldn't walk around with that amount of cash on in your hand.

I suspect a good proportion of those don't even have find my phone or whatever switched on. Could it not be on by default, or would that be a nightmare?

And FFS people, stop putting your credit cards whatever in your phone case. Put a password on it whilst you're at it.

Her 12 year old son is in court and she passes off on holiday?

No wonder her son is a little shit.

 

Mum! There's a submarine driving down the road!

Am trying to make a dark rye loaf like you'd find on a stall or in a shop. Not the really dense 'pumpernickel' style but round or oblong tin shaped.

Have tried various percentages of strong dark rye, muscovado sugar and black treacle but the loaf is still not that dark. I did try some cocoa in one loaf but that just gave an odd colour.

Am using a Panasonic bread machine and in over 5 years it's only ever produced a couple of duff loaves - which were down to me (forgetting yeast, mixer blade or water) and often use it for the dough function and then finish in oven. Am not averse to resorting to full manual though if needed.

Any ideas?

TIA

My daughter is studying Creative Writing and English Literature at Birmingham (UK) University. She's put together some pieces on Substack. Most of them are over my head, but this one hits right in the feels. Apart from a couple of technical inaccuracies, it's spot on. Hope you like it ;-)

Won't be doing any laundry just yet then.

Edit - pic didn't load

 

And now I know.

 

This was my wife’s new throw/ blanket thing. Daisy never used to get on the sofa. But now if the throw isn’t there, she’ll sit and look until one of us cracks.

 

She loves these throws. And as long as I keep my ankles crossed and legs still, she'll stay.

Must admit I choked up a bit as our last two would never do this.
