The worst person you know just made a good point

Also love this! Keep an eye out for a very young Jack Nicholson

Great to meet you too!

Nation upset at the inevitable result of its own actions Step one: push people out of work and onto the streets. Step two: get mad at people being out of work or on the streets

“Fat chance, economan. Why acknowledge the wider policy decisions that fed into people’s circumstances when you could just tell them to buck up their ideas and move to Dargaville? Why rethink economic orthodoxy when you could ask people to consider not being poor?”

Yes

Ugh

Does this mean we won’t have to listen to BE’s terrible reckons any more?

I remember our next door neighbours built theirs for $17000 in 1972 and we thought they were loaded! Ours cost $11000 in 1971 and it showed, lol

Just done exactly that

Oh, this was back in 2000! And it must be 45 years since I read them as a teen (am old, you might've guessed :)

We moved to the US for two years and the library at my son’s primary school was great. I borrowed and reread all the SE Hinton, had forgotten how dark they are, how sad and moving, so good. Motorcycle Boy!!! Also I wish SE Hinton was on here, she was brilliant on the other site

Jilly Cooper, author of Rivals and Riders, dies aged 88 The author of 18 ‘bonkbuster’ novels including Riders, Rivals and Bella has died following a fall

There are so many reasons not to read Dame Jilly now but in the 1980s her books blew everything else out of the water. She made me think writing could actually be huge fun (all double entendres deliberate)

I have a new bit of thumb that grew back after I sliced it off - still looks weird tho

Cool photo

If ‘a vile shell of a man’ is not his epitaph, I for one personally volunteer to carve it on his gravestone

The mirrors! I just remembered the mirrors!

I must watch it again!

It is quite scary as I remember 😱

I remember it! The freaky fun fair! I read the book, too, ages ago. What did you think?

Want tibet he tries again?

Red Burmese cat with head tucked firmly beneath the dog bed blanket in protest at being treated for fleas and ticks

Everyone got their summer flea and tick treatment today and this is Reg’s response #Burmese

Love this!

A red British bulldog named Olive is shamelessly lying on her back on the grass inviting belly rubs from the neighbour’s six year old

Olive visits the neighbours #shameless

'Stop playing PlayStation': PM tells school leavers to 'get off the couch', 'go find a job' Improving school attendance was 'job number one' for cutting future unemployment, he said.

The strongest National supporter I know told me last week how worried he was that his grandson had applied for so many jobs and was still unemployed. I think this comment will infuriate even him cause he believes in work & knows people aren't sitting on the couch.

Post something random or have an awful October

Hard agree

There is no moral superiority in eschewing anything modern, there's only personal choice. You're not a better human if you don't watch cat videos
