Whoever designed this relatively unassuming-looking place is exactly the right kind of lunatic, with admirable priorities. All that garage! It's magnificent.
Could use some bigger windows, though. And some grass.

Well, why not?

Dave: another successful musician suddenly becomes a political expert

Tom Morello: One does not have to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard  to recognise the unethical and inhumane nature of this administration but well, I happen to be an honors grad in political science from Harvard so I can confirm that for you.

Been with the DWP for 16 years. The official figure for fraudulent claims, approx. 2.2%, is, in my experience, broadly accurate. Just wanted to point that out to frothing, raging Daily Mail and Sun readers who think it's closer to 100%.

Totally agree! I was sceptical until I owned my Boxster, and thought convertibles were for posers. But owning that changed everything - I took every opportunity to get the top down, and didn't care what people thought!

Fair enough if you meant no criticism - I misinterpreted your original post. ✌️

Seems a bit unfair to hold one video against someone, so long after it? Unless there are more like that? He's always seemed straightforward and honest to me?

I remember watching that video at the time, and it was pretty clear to me it was made for entertainment rather than a no holds barred review.

A readerβ€˜s letter in the times which reads as follows: 

Old adversaries
Sir, Your obituary (Jan 19) of Mr Justice Blofeld rightly referred to his fine sense of humour. When he first sat in Winchester a barrister called Richard Bond stood up to open the first case. Mr Justice Blofeld began to stroke the white ermine on the sleeve of his High Court judge's robes as if stroking a cat. He then said with a smile: "We meet at last, Mr Bond."

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with β€œrule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

When watching a movie, multiple tyre tracks from previous takes of car-related scenes are mildly irritating.

If a young man [of fighting age], unable to speak basic english, is able to make the perilous crossing of the Channel in a small boat in mid winter, take your job, romance your girlfriend and buy your dream home from under you, you need to think about upgrading your basic skills.

This time of year can be especially stressful if you’re struggling.

It’s hard to keep it together on regular days so when there’s added stress over the festive period it can be overpowering.

Please take time for your mental health.

Talk if you want.

Your presence is more important than presents.
