Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.

You know, the site condemned for being an AI porn hellscape last month

Posting it as a screenshot in the official font makes it look like you've been asked to carry the portrait of Lenin at the May Day Parade.

Hear hear. Endless 'expert' and armchair pundits saying ref should turn a blind eye as it was right at the end of the match. How does that work then? Ref can use discretion and ignore laws for all incidents which take place in added time? 🤔

One very good thing about VAR is the ref having to take 'advice' from gobby fans while he watches the replay on the monitor.

Fascinating You Are The Ref issues here. 🧐

That was like a primary school playground goal. Lol. 😆😆

I would like to know which MP (Luke Akehurst) gave the second quote so that a clown playing the circus music can be hired to follow wherever he goes

Curling is too frenetic for me: so much shouting. 🧐

I'm sure they'll be working on it...

Absolute madness. 👍

See also ski mountaineering, which I only discovered ten minutes ago, and am already calling it ski-mo. 👌

Any sport which involves changing footwear at speed midway is guaranteed to draw me in. Especially when the footwear is skis. 😬 Am now skiathlon's biggest fan. 🧐 🎿

Have you patented the token board? 🧐

A colour photograph of a semi detached pair of modernist inspired houses.

Abbotshall Avenue in the borough of Enfield, a perfect example of the speculative modernist inspired housing that grew all around the suburbs in the 30s, and featured in our Guide to Modernism in Metro-Land.

Pricing and writing about Lincolnshire on the delight window

Tulips from Lincolnshire on sale in a cafe/deli around the corner from my office in London for... yes, **£50** a bunch 🌷🌷😬😲

Oh good, today looks like being rainy and gloomy, as opposed to yesterday which was gloomy and rainy. 👍 🌧 #positivity #variety

It's important that we credit @siennarodgers.bsky.social who first scooped this back in September, not just because she did great work, but also because this shows how herd-like Westminster can be. This information was already there, if anyone cared to acknowledge it at the time!!!!!
