Who ate them? I make one it lasts a week and most ends up in the bin. Unless they are little pies. Still a lot of pastry though. (No I didn’t read the article; sadly, given my body’s reaction to pastry, I’d get indigestion just reading it)

I’ve been doing linguistic somersaults too, to make that work. Perhaps they meant ‘term of endearment’

That has the potential for much mirth and merriment (and possibly violence, depending on your neighbours’ temperaments)

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Macbeth: SHIT

I’d love to hear Abba (circa 1974/5) do Elton’s Crocodile Rock, with an a Capella/hand clap at the ‘oh lawdy mama, Friday nights, when Suzy wore her dresses tight’ bit followed by a high pitched Agnetha/Frida La La La sung in a So Long -esque style.

Who's secretly filming fake TikToks inside Londoners' homes? We tracked down the viral video account invading people's houses to spread false claims about immigrants.

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

Lots to say about this front page, but wouldn’t it be refreshing if the image on the story top right was a middle aged man? I’m sure it’s not meant to be telling women what they should or shouldn’t do? Surely?

Asbestos found in children’s play sand sold in UK Hobbycraft removes product from sale after parent sent samples to a lab for testing but declines to issue a recall

This is worrying. My wifes cancer was caused by asbestos , likely having been exposed as a child. The disease didn’t appear until many years later. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

just my opinion here, but based on my few conversations with european officials, I think too many outside observers are mistaking over-the-top attempts at civility in those messages with obsequiousness

it's not kowtowing, it's trying to conjure up off-ramps with politeness. you've all done this
