my favorite Robert Duvall role is where he appears as a priest on a swing for 2 seconds for no apparent reason in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

You almost got it. Imagine you couldn't drive or have access to a car like 40% of the poorer households. They don't have a choice and get no help from the state.

Austerity is a choice, the government could be doing both instead of spathing money on the alter that is Ai.

Parking is never free, just who pays for it changes.

Also ignores the fact that the poorer you are, the less likely you are to drive.

Paied parking is they only realistic way to manage demand. It should be straightforward and affordable.

Public transport should be the priority and not parking.

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.

Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term.

She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months

Surely the best answer is Muppets Christmas Carol and O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Though I haven't actually read The Odyssey

Zatoichi 2003 though arguably it's a remake of the earlier films more than the novel.

Stardust has much better ending book, but fuck Neil Gaiman.

Ping Pong 2002.

Do ya know what’s not good for crops?

Floods
Drought
Wildfire
Unpredictable conditions so farmers have no clue the appropriate crop to plant

I made the mistake of reading the whole article. It's completely ignores the role of the predictable climate on crops and instead says more CO2 means more food so you can't call it bad.

Reads like he's cashed a cheque from Exxon or BP.

Starmer tells Jim Ratcliffe to apologise for saying UK β€˜colonised’ by immigrants PM calls comments by Man United co-owner, who also hit out at people on benefits, β€˜offensive and wrong’

1/ We're pleased the Prime Minister has called out Jim Ratcliffe's disgusting, racist & dehumanising language.
However, these words ring somewhat hollow when his government is imposing cruel, self-defeating immigration rules that damage social cohesion.

Imagine being Britain's 7th richest person and holding the same opinions as the guy who got his nuts shredded in the Southport riots.

I am sorry that my choice of language (calling Jim Ratcliffe a cunt) has offended some people in Monaco (Jim Ratcliffe) but it is important to raise the issue of Jim Ratcliffe being a cunt and maintain an open debate on the challenges of Jim Ratcliffe being a cunt.

My take is that the car it hit was parked, hence it being pushed back into the camper van. The driver simply went too fast round the bend into Newhaven Place and lost control. Many a supercar has been written off in this manner.
