Digestive biscuits. Supermarket versions never live up to McVities.

Some journalist should make it their life's work to start up a chant of "down in one" every time he's seen holding a pint.

Unpasteurised, of course.

Needs a Ludovico Einaudi backing track.

He does look parched.

What looks like frying an egg on the hot plate is pretty unspeakable.

Quote from Jonn's substack. "Well, no. For one thing, driving an Uber may not be the most glamorous or best paid of jobs, but it nonetheless provides flexible income of the sort many people would feel the loss of."

I feel the same about self-checkouts in supermarkets - that's someone's job you're helping do away with.

And show that they're charging ยฃ5.50 for a pint they buy in for about ยฃ1.39?

Every time the idea of cutting the price of a pint by cutting duty comes up I feel obliged to point out that beer duty is paid by the brewery not the pub so there's no guarantee that this would work (and every reason to think the brewery would keep the money).

My keys are in my right-hand trouser pocket and my phone is either in the left pocket or on its charger.

I realise it's very far from the most important thing here but I couldn't take my eyes off Rubio's Vulcan ears.

But you're not demanding that they do anything. Like all gifts, unless you know it's something they want, it's merely a suggestion for something that you think they might enjoy. They don't have to read it.

Plus, realistically, the text outside the paywall is written as a tease, intentionally or not so if people people argue with that text that's on you (the writer) not the reader.

With that line-up it looks more like Bored of Peace. Amiright?

Most of them haven't posted anything in weeks. Often months.

Dilbert was great and that's not ruined by it turning out that the guy was an ass.

A cold blue toned photograph of a variety of birds in the a pond in winter. An aerial shot taken with a drone over a small frozen village pond. The ice has been kept clear in a small area by the mallards, coots, moor hens and swans working together to share the ice free area. The fringes of the pool have hundreds of small pieces of food - mostly bread - encased in the frozen water as local visitors throw and scatter food towards the birds. They won't go hungry!

The Blue Whale. The local pond now has a sheet of ice covering most of it, but the resident wildlife have got together to keep this small section clear, taking turns to circle and keep it ice free. Nature does it best.

Odd thing to do standing by the front door. I usually just rattle my car keys.

Search your first name then 'glamour shot' and post a photo

Happy with that.

Wow. Things sure have changed since my two were small enough to fit in something that size.

I had to buy that exact cable last week. Gutted that I'd slimmed down the cable box(es).

a blurry image of a person sitting on a bed Alt: a clip from The Exorcist showing the young girl repeatedly sitting up and lying down in bed.

Something to look forward to.

Especially when a 12 round clip can dispense up to 75 bullets.

The nostalgic Enid Blyton 1950s that Reform inhabits?

Lucky old Mini Moog. Don't know much about guitar pedals but I've read good things about the June 60.
