Don't get battered!

One of Ginger Biscuit's final acts was to make his way upstairs - which would have been painfully difficult for him - and to sneak into our bedroom where he curled up on my side of the bed. For me, who couldn't be there at the end, that speaks a thousand words.

LOVING this series, and I've watched just about every English-language version of The Traitors from around the globe.

As for Stephen's Star-Trek-style jumpsuit? Out of this WORLD!

THE MAN IS TALKING ABOUT 'TAKING COUNTRIES'!!!

All sent!

BlueSky Chat is being a right pain in the **** at the moment. Would you try sending me a message and I'll respond with details when I can. Thanks.

BlueSky Chat is being somewhat uncooperative at the moment. Would you send ME a message and I'll piggyback it with my info. Thanks!

I'd be delighted, Jake. The deal is simple: if I like it, I'll review it. If I hate everything about it, I'll say nothing and we pretend you never asked. Okay? Will DM you my address... I may be quiet for a while. Am having a full right knee replacement tomorrow. Cheers!

Sorry, no banana for scale.

A. has more water in it than a dewdrop on an oak leaf.
B. contains more water than a bead of sweat on the brow of a mouse.
C. contains less water than the Atlantic Ocean.
D. contains less water than in the body of the person who came up with such a poorly worded question.

No surprises there, then.

A quick reminder:

1. Venezuela has the LARGEST PROVEN OIL RESERVES IN THE WORLD.

2. Donald Trump is still a CONVICTED FELON and still appears in THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Thank you.

I hear you #JackSmith When defendants have their backs up against the proverbial wall, they might dispute anything & of course, lie

Canada: Our Prime Minster studied at Oxford and Harvard, was the Governor of both the Banks of England and Canada, and is recognized as one of the sharpest financial minds around.

America: oh yeah? Our guy has to take dementia tests every week.

Notorious conman leaves New York.

This alone could get Mamdani reelected.

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

Today, 26th December, is St Stephen's Day or the Feast of St Stephen. It is also known, in some countries, as Boxing Day. The name is derived from wanting to punch people who insisting on boring you with how Boxing Day got its name. Hope you had a great Christmas.

If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

What some folk don't seem to get is that any decent human being would want ALL accused of crimes revealed in the Epstein files to be investigated. If Clinton & Gates have acted criminally, charge them. This doesn't get Trump off the hook. It doesn't make him any LESS guilty.

I have this weird talent where I can identify what’s inside a wrapped present.

It’s a gift.

This assumes that Trump doesn't somehow find a way to 'postpone' (cancel) next year's midterms on some pretext, and then stay in power indefinitely. You don't knock down the White House East Wing for a ballroom you don't expect to be using WAY into the future. We live in dangerous times.

Kids Can Press company logo and logo and image of Franklin character with statement text,”Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

Sadly, we know that they'll be the real winners after a class action case.

Offer the assistant under-gardener's lad an extra handful of oats and have THEM do it... Sorted. Gives them a sense of purpose. Win win.
