Do I know anyone in Birmingham who would buy my daughter's Ari Abdul ticket? There was a mix up about who was playing support and now she's paid £25 for a gig which isn't what she thought.

Kemi and Farage’s line on this conflict is supported by eight per cent of the population

Apparently for World Book Day at Boy's school - two groups of girls arrived dressed as Alvin & The Chipmunks.
This did not go down well and they had a massive fight, in full costume, in the playground. One girl was sent home with a suspected broken wrist.

A fair asylum system cannot be built on instability or performative toughness

This policy will not deter people from fleeing conflict and persecution. But it will make life harder for those the UK has already recognised as needing safety

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Old woman's birthday Superdrug haul

Has anyone actually used this? I'm tempted, but ut seems to be a tiny bottle of glue...?

Jamie is right. Burchett and others just voted to keep sexual predator records hidden, and nobody in Tennessee will even hear about it.

Noodles are great.

We have to keep the Express Cafe going. The rents rise and it's one of the only working class caffs here

And Express Cafe remember how I like my eggs.

Brixton is just so much bullshit in places.
I always come to Express Cafe so looked at other menus. Everything circa £17. Big grocery from a Reform supporting twat. Gallery showing pics of protest where the sweet cheap costume jewelry stall was.
Only Express Cafe & the fishnets man holding Brixton

One always wonders which aspects of us our children will inherit. It can surprise...

Any sitcom writers/current Tv types online for me to check something?

Damn Harrison Ford should get an Actors Award for Best Actors Award speech

She doesn't chat but assertive and professional. I'm really happy especially the price

£40
The green outfit was last week.

She also middle aged so understood hiding my baggy neck and softening my greys

But I'm often tempted to bung a barber £15 and tell them to just take it all off

Haaaa yes, Linda in the right of the pic. You at the bus stop?

I think i was just opposite that getting my hair cut

My heavenly mum is this Sunday. I'll get her to say hi x

I think me and @neilcole.bsky.social did. Justin's always busy

John Cleese had valid things to say about comedy.
We move forwards to comics who have valid things to say about life.

Heroic Chicago trans comedian recalls saving infant from ice-cold Lake Michigan: ‘I guess I’m going in’ “The most important part of this entire story is that the baby is okay,” Lio Cundiff told The Advocate.

Hey, while you’re here, I wrote a follow-up piece after interviewing Lio, the trans dude who saved the infant in Chicago.

Meet the stand-up comedian who's embarrassed by all the media attention he's getting.

Transgender Chicago man hospitalized after saving baby from drowning in Lake Michigan “I wasn’t going to let that baby die,” Lio Cundiff said.

This 30-year-old transgender man, who can’t swim, jumped into Lake Michigan after a wind gust blew a baby in a stroller into the freezing water.

He’s being called a hero. But now he has medical expenses, and people are donating to a fundraiser to support him.

I’ll keep dogs AND Muslims and bin John Cleese.

My son's friend, who lives in Kent, his mum thinks "thousands of children have died in the red and blue fights"

Thousands

- that mush?
Either make it into new prosthetics, or... whatever...
I can't bear the thought of binning them - but if it can actually help someone I'll donate...

Anyone?

Ok.
I have a really weird question. Please forward to anyone who could help.
My mother had a mastectomy.
I kept her fake breasts after she died. Couldn't bear getting rid.
Over the 30 years the silicone (?) has completely degraded and now I've a bag of mush.
Is there anywhere that could recycle -
