Dear Larry, I'm gravely concerned about the shrinkfelination of cat food pouches, which have all been reduced from 100g to 85g. Please raise this issue in Parliament by asking a Purrgent Question. We must purrtest! Give us back our 15g!
Yours caternally, Zorro

URGENT: Imagine paying for food poisoning and covering the restaurant’s debts when it goes under.

Might work if you’re out buying a baguette one day. It was only a spatial move - have turned into an old rural lefty.

I used to have a Barbour with a strange long sideways pocket across the back that we called the rabbit pocket. No idea what it was really for, as I was an urban lefty.

Most famous, of course, for playing for Barnsley in the 1950s.

It’s definitely not undeserved! Have been following your closely-reasoned posts at the other place since the early mad brexit days. Delighted to see you here!

Ah, sorry - must have missed that bit.

Worth remembering the UK is still a low-tax country by European standards, far behind Germany, France and the Nordics.

One reason big tax rises were always likely.

What if David Cameron turns up one day with this moustache. What’s the plan for that

Some dogs some muffins, hard to tell which in some cases because eyes look like blueberries

Loved this image to illustrate machine learning. Muffin or dog? Feed the algorithm with a million of each and it will learn. From Prof Derek O’Keefe but I think derivative.
