This time last week my sister was on her way into an unplanned and frankly terrifying c-section because both her and her kid were at high risk of not making it.
Luckily all went well, but the idea of her being penalised for not having another few with the same risk is absolutely sickening.

A greyhound snoozing on a bed covered in blankets.

No idea what you're talking about.

There was a line in there about people integrating into Britain being able to become equals which indeed got my back up.

Five pictures attached to the first one too. Makes me want to vomit.

If you can, please get yourself on the list to donate. It's literally thousands to one that it'll be you who gets chosen but in the unlikely event you are, you're literally a lifesaver.

About this time 15 years ago I was sat in a broken down car on a motorway slip road on the way to a hospital to donate bone marrow to a stranger.
I didn't find out until afterwards she was 4 years old.

At least the officers will have his brothers little badge on when they nick him.

Two greyhounds refusing to leave the house. Both have large fur lined coats on and look unimpressed at the weather.

The Scottish Parliament has voted in favour of the first part of a ban on Greyhound racing.
Both of ours are ex racers, both wonderful and loving dogs. They love to run, they shouldn't be forced to for gambling.

Oh god, my gran prompting ai to add the kids we don't want and the girl my sister isn't having but she wanted into family photos is going to cause serious drama.

Points to whoever ignores it and puts out a press release welcoming Nigella to the bake off tent.

Badge of honour for the traitors crew.

I'd love to see Nadia get the gig.

Check any spirit bottles, any low become ever increasingly unusual cocktails to help lighten the load too.

Let me buy you a book. It will make us both happy.

Some people don't know the joy in fixing something up to avoid buying a new one too. Less than a fiver on parts got my grans 50 year old Kenwood chef mixing again. At this rate it'll outlast me, never mind her.

There are two bridges to pass under in this order:
1) "Oldham: home of the tubular bandage"
2) "Rochdale: birthplace of cooperation"

That's the same limit as Scotland and we still have rural pubs here.

Shut this horror experiment down.

So we're in a position where our government thinks the US is at war but the US thinks it isn't?

Nice to three dune, to three dune... Nice.

It's not just my family, other people have shit families I actively avoid too.

Petition to rename Dubai to “the B Ark”.

Me, looking at the Epstein files: IS TONTY BLAIR IN THIS.

Oh, there he is.

That should be it, he should be a pariah.
I mean it should have been long ago but if that's not the final straw, jeezo.

Bibliomaniac is a great starting point.

Most people we hear of leaving the BBC do so either in scandal or for a paycheck. To see it done for principle warms my heart.
Having seen, listened to and read plenty of his I can safely say you'll not regret seeing him speak if you get the chance in the future.

Ginger Whine is a Christmas thing, to be fair.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions.

It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

For anyone whose kids need to know why Santa isn't coming this year...
