The UK is so suffocatingly expensive. And yet people are tying flags to lampposts as if it's refugees who are ripping them off for food, transport, entertainment, rent...

That feeling when you're accustomed to all public transport being 25 pence, and then you come to London on holiday and pay over twenty quid just to get your family from zone 5 to zone 1.

Only regret was not getting to Melbourne. Just too bloody expensive with a trip to the UK coming up. But yep, was magic.

Wait did someone leave Baker Mayfield with two minutes and a one-score deficit again?

I was a "fan from afar"... fell for them after seeing the famous game where Eric Metcalf ran back two punts to beat the Steelers. Waited out the lost years, didn't mind the crapness, loved some of the characters, especially Baker.
But Watson? Fuck that. It killed them for me.

Very few things in sport give me more satisfaction than seeing Baker Mayfield absolutely thriving, while his former employers, who dropped him to bet the entire farm on an unrepentant sexual predator, flail around in the wilderness.

Queensland media on Net Zero:
"Is Net Zero going to bankrupt this nation with the most abundant renewable energy on the planet? We talk with a fossil fuel executive, and for balance we also talk to a fossil fuel executive who was in a different class at Churchie"

When I was campaigning for Australian Greens in the recent election, we were up against Labor telling everyone that the only party of meaningful environment action was themselves. β€œAction, not outrage!”, the guy kept shouting over my conversations at the polling station.
That β€œaction”:

The best comment I’ve read on Labor approving an extension to Australia’s dirtiest gas mining project until my kids are nearly 60.

Just seen that Leeds and Burnley are now mathematically relegated from the 2025/26 Premier League. Commiserations to their long suffering fans

For those who are obsessed with the existence of trans people, nothing will ever, ever satisfy them.

As you are going to see.

Day by day you’re letting this wave of hate and discrimination sweep away the rights of trans people. Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are throwing the LGBTQA+ community under the bus to cater for Telegraph, express and daily mail readers.

The sponsors of the Supreme Court action are now loudly applauding a judgement based on on "biological sex" which doesn't define that phrase beyond pointing at what is written on someone's birth certificate.
Maybe it's a different JK Rowling to the one who was recently calling Imane Khalif a man.

Imagine being an actual fucking billionaire and still feeling obliged to dress up and go to show fealty to your feudal lord and master.

Cobham Services Leopard has seen things you wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the hard shoulder of the A23... C-beams glittering in the dark near Clackett Lane. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.
