Ta. I've mucked up this 'stub', btw. Need an edit button.
That line in Jack & Jill was always baffling. Contemporary, I think, but was it a common remedy ???

Up Jack got and home did trot,
As fast as he could caper;
Went to bed to mend his head
With vinegar and brown paper
I never understood that bit in Jack & Jill. Contemporary, I think. So was this 'a thing'?

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
The war will be over when I feel it in my bone spurs.

How it started … How it’s going
Any involvement in resolving the situation surely should be in our interests, not to help US. Much less to help Trump. He has ignored any caution from US advisers. Why would he heed any European 'strategic advice'?
Literally this
An historic humiliation for the United States. Trump is so deranged he will not realise this.
Depressing, but not unexpected replies to this.

In England a driver can be speeding, using cannabis and a phone, overtake another vehicle, mount the pavement outside a school playground and kill a 4-year-old girl while uninsured — and receive just 3 years 10 months for causing death by careless driving.

Declaring that no quarter will be given unequivocally violates international humanitarian law. Indeed, ordering that no quarter will be given, threatening an adversary therewith or conducting hostilities on this basis is prohibited and constitutes a war crime.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
The only thing prohibiting England from racking up a record win in Paris tomorrow will be if France take part in the game. England will surely romp to victory should France not do that.
Mainly, I hope, disgust at your government and the apparent acquiescence of a surprisingly large proportion of your compatriots in this sort of shit:

We have awarded these people contracts in the Ministry of Defence. What the fuck are we doing.
Today’s Times asks but fails to answer why chat shows are almost exclusively hosted by men. There’s a photo of Paula Yates but no mention of her. Today is her daughter Peaches’ birthday & Claudia Winkleman’s debut as chatshow host so here is that answer catherinemayer.co.uk/everything-y...
Such a dismal tale about the UK govt: so obsessed w competing with far-right to keep out foreigners that it won’t let in the brightest & best from war-torn countries even when they’re hand-picked by the FCDO, lest they ask to stay. Soft power sacrificed, but how many Reform voters will it convert?
The cruelty of this.
I didn't know that.
I've only had the misfortune of hearing him in UK before TNT made it ridiculously expensive.
Think it was a CK thing, tbh. He'd often not notice stuff happening - other commentators were fine.
Eventually...
Plus the weird constant sniffing/wheezing.
Laughing at his own unfunny 'jokes'.
Unbearable.
The people who were entirely wrong about Brexit and completely wrong about Truss have been proved totally wrong about Trump's Iran war, too. Whoever could have imagined it? When on earth are we going to stop listening to these grifting, lying, delusional clowns?
A tax barrister sued me personally for £8m for libel after we linked him to a tax avoidance scheme.
Today the High Court struck out the claim, granted summary judgment, and ruled it was a SLAPP. The judgment is highly critical.
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

And if it's not misogynistic why wasn't he offering to hypnotize men to make their dicks bigger?
Violently assualted for doing nothing more than obeying the legal speed limit.
Yes, the attacker should be in jail. Driving and employing others shouldn't be a freedom ticket.
Also needs licence removing for good. He's clearly psychologically not to be trusted.
