Looks more worried than he did when he was running the Brotherhood of Nod.

I always think that if teenagers came up with a new pastime that involved regularly dropping piss and crap in public places it would banned in minutes. Yet it's fine if dog owners want to use any and every open space as a canine latrine.

Mine is Batman Returns. My wife's is Kramer Vs Kramer. So I guess that means she'll leave me but then I'll hit it off with Michelle Pfieffer.

I work for a trust that offers an extra day of annual leave for getting the flu jab (plus completing mandatory training on time etc.) and I'd say our frontline take up percentages would track that graph pretty closely.

Nice morning for the school run if you are a dog shit enthusiast.

Start with bullshit members prices in high street shops. They should be forced to compete on price for everyone, rather than trying to trap shoppers into 'loyalty'.

Thanks @mattgreencomedy.com, we really enjoyed the show tonight. We were the group with the English teacher. Even my somewhat right-leaning mate had a good time.

It'll never be enough for dog owners will it? We already have to put up with every open space being used as a canine latrine but they won't be happy until there is nowhere you can go without having to tolerate their animals.

Winter Fuel: Proof that Britain has come an old folks' home with a government attached Welcome to the real Nanny State

The most disturbing thing about the winter fuel debacle is the chilling effect it'll have on any government which tries to think rationally about pensioner benefits and intergenerational fairness.

We really are in the Nanny State now. New writing from me.

Well your straw man generator is in full flow here. But I'm not really expecting to change any minds. Everything I've said is pretty easy to check yourself, though that would assume an open mind. But this was fun. And decent of you to step up and demonstrate my original point. Have a good one.

Lol. 'This doesn't account for this arbitrarily complicated process I've decided to include'. It can be done. We choose not to allow it to be done.

How long does it take to build a nuclear reactor? The average time is 6 to 8 years. Some can be built in under 5 years, but others have long over-runs.

Try closer to 6 years for a new reactor. The old waste can be used to fuel the later generation nuclear plants. And GM crops increase yield so reduce the land area devoted to monoculture. All pretty good as solutions go.

I'm deeply disappointed with Labour but as long as the Greens remain against the essential technologies for addressing climate change and improving energy and food security (nuclear power, GM crops) then they're just a crank party.

Sorry, I didn't see the wider context to your post. I'd love to be less car-reliant. But the alternatives just aren't there which I guess was the point.

Except the majority of driving costs are in owning the vehicle (which you are absolutely going to do anyway as it's essential to function in rural places) so the cost of those trips are negligible and can be ignored.

So not only are these high street shop membership schemes massively anti-competitive and punitive on the casual shopper they're also a significant privacy risk. Great.

FFS. Not that this makes any difference. Maybe they'd have sold more dark chocolate Toblerones if they'd actually been available to buy anywhere...

10 week old Claud at her first swimming lesson

How it started/how it's going.

Vance’s grotesqueness aside, the whole thing is one of the most horrific acts of betrayal ever committed by a democratic state against another. Just a moral abomination and a permanent stain on everyone who supports it

Oops 😬

The USA right now reminds me of the story of Aladdin. That is if the Sultan was a crook, the Royal Vizier wanted his secret evil plans to be really, really public, and there was no Aladdin.

Shame so many others in the American political system didn't have a fraction of the courage shown here.

Obviously need to figure out quote post replies, if that's a thing.

I have 100+ games on my Epic account. All picked up in giveaways. Maybe 20 or so of them I'd actually like to play so I just have no reason to buy more.
