Brother. All day long. I resisted buying a printer for 13 years and finally caved in.

I bought the cheapest one out there and it does scans, two sided prints and I had it up and running over the Wi-Fi in less than five minutes.

Reform fury as someone else wins
by Our By-election Editor
Tim Shipsink
The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost
comprehensively to someone else.
"It's totally unfair and rigged,"
said Goodwhinge.
"I shouldn't
be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost."
Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me.
Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X.
"We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families."
Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice.
They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green."
Reform leader
Mr Farage,
speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said,
"It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

The bad news is that the good guys are doing bad things to the bad guys. This is also the good news.

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

"Israeli officials.. are looking to do enough damage to Iran's police state from the air that the people can take over on the ground." Degrading state capacity increases likelihood of state failure, not democratic change -Israel fine with chaotic collapse, US/Gulf not.

4 years of war against the Russian aggressors including the invaluable experience as well as technology Ukraine has accumulated, and it is now the nations of the world in dire situation which ask Ukraine for help. The best part, Ukraine gives them the help.

The best equipped and funded militaries in the world are unable to cope with conditions Ukraine is handling on a daily base.

Now, I have seen everything.

Having suffered the pain of a tooth infection I can unequivocally say that this man died in absolute agony. The type of nerve pain that will have you screaming and wondering quite rightly if you’ve gone insane

This man was tortured through neglect, and everyone involved is an irredeemable monster

Taoiseach commits to examining review into Ireland's abortion law three years after publication Denise Whitmore’s story of suffering a fatal foetal abnormality was raised in the Dáil.

Don’t anyone be holding their breath, he’s been committed to passing the #OccupiedTerritoriesBill for the last four years now. It’s only been waiting since 2019!!

Scientific American has updated the figure, now grouped into swimmers, fliers, walkers/runners, and vehicles. A person on a bicycle remains the most efficient way to travel, compared to all forms of biological locomotion and mechanical transport.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Move it to Limerick.

Railway lines in four directions.
International airport.
Great motorway connections.
Deepwater port nearby.
Close to beautiful places like the Burren, Atlantic coast, Galtee mountains, the Shannon, Lough Derg, etc.
