CUSTARD
Custard is this. It has aches, aches when. Not to be. Not to be narrowly. This makes a whole little hill.
It is better than a little thing that has mellow real mellow. It is better than lakes whole lakes, it is better than seeding.

Always fascinating when you take off your tinfoil hat, examine it, and see that it is actually just a perfectly normal hat full of evidence for the things you long suspected. You know, like hats usually are.

Churchwarden linked to foreign-born billionaire is behind ยฃ200k Reform gift The man whose firm made the donations will not discuss where the money came from, nor his ties to wealthy Farage allies who may not hold citizenship

How is it that a church warden behind an interior design firm originally incorporated in the BVIs & tied to a Kazakh billionaire can make a ยฃ200,000 donation to Reform UK?

Source of funds not disclosed.

Farage has questions to answer.

The Electoral Commission must investigate.

Never mind the jobs you've had or the classes you took, tell me 5 things you can eat until you explode. #FoodSky

I once ate jamon serrano until my mouth literally bled.

I would do it again.
