Truly shocking that Rachel Reeves had the audacity to call herself the U14 girls chess champions when she won the U14 girls chess championship but some bloke thought she was talking about something else.

Until I die, I will never understand why so many motorists think that β€œhaving a car” should give you special protections from doing crimes.

Did they say why they haven't moved to video, if that's where the audience is?
If I was to take a guess it's because old media was easier, and in the case of Twitter it was free. Video is scary and costs more to do it properly?

A very beautiful and moving interview.

Yeah, you are right. The BBC are missing an Aussie bonus point.

But still, all four teams with two wins and two losses is great, and completely bonkers

If he's the first on the list then he's hardly been cancelled has he?

Sorry but couldn't read it after that

There can't be many Ineos grand tour line ups without a British rider?

Chapeau to Kwiato, I love seeing him race and I hope he gets some opportunities in the next few weeks

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

The older one gets, the more one comes to realise that the β€œgrown ups” you always assumed were running things and basically knew what they were doing are really just winging it, and are often either utterly clueless or lacking in any real power to do what they’re expected to do.

As it seems to be today's discourse: took me until i was about 23, and a fair bit of coaching from female friends IRL and online, to understand that being a nerd had NOTHING to do with my lack of getting laid.

Was mostly about accepting women were people. Which is shocking. But it was early 2000s.

This is potentially great news from the PPF, opening the door to zero PPF levies.

Along with the S37 announcement, it's been a good day in the world of #pensions

My best men (my sisters) ran a game of bingo and I 'won' my wife.

Our family owned a social club and the nightly bingo was a long standing family joke
