Someone once told me that buying a house is the most stressful thing a person can do.

And they were right.

It is.

Have you ever heard of the Necropolis Line?

Or to give it its proper name the London Necropolis Railway?

At one point there was a tube line that existed purely to take corpses out of London to the Graveyard?

Let's recycle ALL the tropes!!!

"Look at Labour, splitting the vote."
"Labour need to affiliate to the Green Party."
"I'd vote for Labour, but they don't stand a chance here."
"If those Labour voters went Green instead, Reform would be out."

Do join in with your own!!

It’s not weird that I learnt yesterday the impact that Lord Byron having a sexual relationship with his Half-Sister had a knock on effect that caused a cancellation of one third of the Atlantic’s subscriptions, but it is weird that I learned it yesterday and now I’m hearing about it again today.

There was a segment in an Attenborough documentary a few years back about the impact tourism has on Cheetahs and how they can’t feed their kids because the number of jeeps watching stresses them out.

Human entitlement knows no bounds.

Today, my family went on a family trip to Flagstaff. We walked into a quaint sandwich shop, and a young woman approached to take our order.
She was wearing a sports bra and crack-sucking leggings.
It was the kind of outfit our grandmothers would see as lingerie.
Had I not been with my family, I would have said something like, "Ma'am, do you not know how inappropriate your outfit is? Are you not ashamed to be wearing that in public?"
So, when I got home, I wrote the owner.
This won't change until we make it change.
Make sin shameful again. Remember, shame pushes people to see their need for forgivenessβ€”in Christ.

Dear store owner,

I was horned up on crack-sucking leggings.

I love collecting comics and talking about collecting. But I completely agree with this. Most podcasts out there talk about collectability, value, grading etc. It's not why anyone who truly loves the medium gets into it.

Apparently if we ever find ourselves detained under Schedule 7 of the increasingly open to interpretation Terrorism act, you are legally required to do exactly that.
