Mrs Cosmopilite

Not sure if I made this up but yrs ago I heard that there was a civilisation s/where that had the father present at a birth with string tied round his bollocks so he could share the pain of contractions

Advocating the same for men who spout this shite

Hopefully that is what this app screams when it senses nearby pervert glasses

Exactly that.

Weirdly, the trees don't offer any perspective - too far away, maybe

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

Really enjoyed this.

The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months When a group of schoolboys were marooned on an island in 1965, it turned out very differently to William Golding’s bestseller, writes Rutger Bregman

I can't bring myself to watch it
It's a classic text that generations have studied at school, but I'm a bit over the feral boys thing
Maybe more now as I have 2 teen boys
I get comments from older gens - do I worry?
No
Esp when reality is more

A woman has never been near this house. In the design or any other capacity

Proof of theory gained by showing it to my teenage boys who are now both coveting it

I have absolutely never left sick on the floor a little longer than I should and then been surprised/horrified when it 'diaappeared'

With you on the potty training too

What a wonderfully happy tree.
Bet it wakes the apple trees too early because it can't wait to wassail

It's very important all govt AI policy is based on the microeconomics of your company. And maybe that of your friend, who is developing an adacent model, with whom you will trade (in a definitely not bubbly way)

Or, in Sam's case, 45 years, if ever

Yay

But, also, grrr

Spaniel detective using her deductive skills to declare sheep have passed this way

Me: You say sheep passed this way?

Stevie: Yes, I have the knowing of these things

#WutheringHeights Sweepcliff.

Finished it last night.

Left with that slightly bereft feeling of wanting more

Just loved the different ways peripheral characters touched the story like smoke - no explanation or promise of more

And, just a bit, wonderfully bonkers

You've been talking to my [yorkshire] FiL?

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Yup to all of those.

Tho had to have #4 pointed out to me while up an apple tree, pruning, 8mo pregnant, aged 39.

Wld add that I didn't expect living half a life (hopefully) to bring so much perspective

I'd like, but don't expect, this episode to be the start of forcing light into all areas of monarchy.
Especially the tax affairs.
If any HRH says some topics are off-limits at interview, don't interview but broadcast why.
Stop letting them control the narrative
Obvs caveat for children, illness etc

I was gifted two combos in the late 90s by a colleague who'd grown out of them after her baby

Can' remember the label, but it was not one I could afford. One was raspberry pink, and the jacket had a slight swing to it 😍

Never, before, or since, have I felt more stylish

The eyes...

We had 10yrs together before our kids came along. But had dogs.

Best advice for raising boys I ever got: treat them like dogs - keep them well fed and well exercised, and all else will be fine.

Love that froglet is charging his growth batteries for the next phase - he'll be taller than you soon!

I spent a year trying to get a dwp addition for a client. Round and round and ...

2 letters from our MP's office and we got the full amount, backdated, no more paperwork needed TY.

Massive waste of everyone's time and really shouldn't have needed intervention

Britain’s Story: The Next Chapter - BBC Royal Charter Review, Green Paper and public consultation

This is the Gov looking for your input on the BBC. It takes a while to complete (15/20 mins) but it’s pretty comprehensive and covers most aspects.

Please share. I’m surprised many people haven’t seen it yet.

Very, very good

My husband accidentally added fennel seeds rather than cumin, and it changed everything

Won't blow his trumpet too much tho. He blamed the mistake his colour blindness.

Seems his nose stopped working too

Didn't see Truss there for a minute

Haha! An age remark if ever there was one

I am getting old-

My first thought was how much would it cost to heat all that empty space

My second thought. Ugh, you'd have to pay ppl to help you look after it, and that would be horrid
