Acres of land with a house that's not stupidly big, and which is on the edge of a town or large village which has good public transport, not far from a railway station, within walking distance of the sea, in the south/south west of England.

Rightmove is my friend. Wish the Lotto was.

Le voisin est un misérable salaud(e). J'espère qu'il/elle aura des hémorroïdes.

They are targeting the wrong people (for targeting it assuredly is) as our economy circles the plug hole

Targeting the ill, learning disabled, the poor, the destitute, the hopeless, the people who can’t find a way in late-stage capitalism which tells them of worthlessness

Happy birthday to @theobserveruk.bsky.social. I used to read bits aloud to my dad when I was 3, apparently, so I've always had a soft spot for it. I remain very pissed off with The Guardian for flogging it off.

I am a simple soul. I merely wish to be entertained. I've seen each at least twice (mostly more).

Cheating by having Kill Bill 1 as 1&2 combined. Ditto LotR films. Ditto Bourne, really, tho the first is my favourite.

And yes, Pirates. Hackneyed now, but I loved the first one when it came out.

A Curse Against Stealers Of Books For him that stealth a book from this place, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with palsy, & all his members blasted. Let him languish in pain crying aloud for mercy, & let there be be no surcease to his agony till he sink to dissolution. Let bookworms gnaw his entrails in token of the Worm that diets not, & when at last he goeth to his final punishment, let the flames of hell consume him forever & aye. (Monastery Of San Pedro, Barcelona.)

When Lucy from Compass Books in Dartmouth, Devon, was victim to shoplifting people told her to install CCTV. Instead she put this ancient book thief curse on the wall from the Monastery of San Pedro in Barcelona so book stealers would be consumed by "the flames of hell" with "their members blasted".

"Nonetheless, the sentiment of this year’s John Lewis ad is clear: “You totally ruined my life, you little shit. I’d still be clubbing now if not for you. Rave 2 da grave!” Also, men would rather go back on the E than to therapy.

In the background, the women of the family are setting the table."

when I worked at the Telegraph, approx one thousand years ago, I walked into the newsroom one day wearing a trenchcoat and a fedora, feeling v cool and chic, and my nickname in the newsroom instantly became "Vince Cable"

grandparents being punished and can't see or talk to grandchildren Anonymous participant 2h My son decided that he no longer needs us for child care (after 12 years of free), has become an atheist (we are Christian and raised him as such), and we voted for Trump (he and his wife have a severe case of TDS), therefore we are no longer allowed to see or talk with our 4 grandchildren. They live 9 houses up on the same street (a 3-4 minute casual walk). If the children see us they run away and into their house. I walk the dogs past their house nearly every day. If they see me coming they have to go inside. He has forbidden them to talk with us or even look at us. My wife has tried calling and texting with no response. She went to their house and knocked on the door and the children saw her from the side window and ran to another room. Response from my son was that if we stepped foot on his property that he would call the police. It is the most bizarre and absolutely unbelievable situati

Kimberly Almost the same situation with my 31 year old daughter. Five+ years for us. Satan is out to kill, steal and destroy. Turn it all over to God. Continue to pray for mountains to be moved. It does get easier. Hugs to you and your wife. 1h Reply Carole Evil Reply 1 7 1h Terry Sounds like they're vaccinated. The shot changed people, its like they don't care who they hurt. It's happening to a lot of people. 2h Reply

Lanise I feel this so much going threw the same they even live down the road and that just makes it even harder Reply 29m Jody This is what the Bible has said. God will sift the population and separate the wheat from the tares. The tares will be burned up. 38m Reply Like Reply Lori What is the DIL like? 2h Cathy S. So very sorry. We have seen this in my family. Various reasons. It does seem demonic. Satan is trying to break families apart. Trying to trust and give it to God. He knows our hearts and hurts and He knows them. Only He can change their hearts. He is holding the children

Anonymous participant 941 know exactly what you are going through because we are going through the same thing. I talked to my daughter every day and saw our grandsons weekly sometimes multiple times a week. We baby sat them and they adored us. They have tortured us for this past year and the more we tried to reason and talk to her the more she would twist everything and make it our fault. It is all because we had the nerve to have different opinion than her and her husband. We are suddenly bad people and she can't even look at us. Literally overnight. We aren't welcome in their house, we can't see our grandsons, she also erased her brother, sister in law, toddler niece, and new born nephew and her two best friends. We were good parents and were there for her, her entire life and she has spit in our faces over a difference in political opinion. We didn't care where she stood and we never talked about it out of respect for her. She can't give us the same courtesy.

Greeting Vocalizations in Domestic Cats Are More Frequent With Male Caregivers We observed domestic cats during 100-second home recordings to investigate how they greet their human caregivers. In 31 households, we analyzed the effects of caregiver and cat characteristics (sex, ...

If you're male, your cat will meow at you more because it thinks you need more prompting than women do.

Foreign Minister Helen McEntee made it clear: erasing the name of an Irish-born Jewish WWII hero, liberator of Nazi camps, and Israel’s sixth president, has nothing to do with legitimate criticism of Israel — and it is simply wrong.

This reversal matters.

What is it with these people who think a tie and a pocket square gives them the authority to cosplay as a public intellectual when the bookcase they're happy to show off to the world is stuffed full of superhero DVDs? Why should we even take these people seriously?
