The gammon tears sustain me
A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.
"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."
Winter Olympics currently on hold because of snow. Love it.
Roses are red
Daffodils are yellow
Come and sit next to me
You fine fellow
A pink fold out bowl with crisps in on a pub bar
Don't like struggling with getting the last snacks out of the bag so I bought myself a portable snack bowl
Yeah they get rewarded with a redemption story!
RIP John Virgo. He's with the angles now.
I was just telling someone the other day that in the 1990s I remember politicians resigning constantly for things which today don't even get airtime.
My local landlady says - surprisingly busy
Only 4 have gone, others due to go this year I think
Going to the Eight Towers pub tonight, built in the 1990s, and the cooling towers it was named after were knocked down a few years ago. Is there any pub with a name that had a shorter span than that?
Audience : well, nothing could top the drama of last night
Matthew: hold my beer
You either live in a democracy, in which case you, as citizens, are responsible for the actions of your democratically elected leaders...or you have no choice in who gets elected, in which case you don't live in a democracy and you should definitely do something about that. The world is sick of hearing 350 million Americans say they're helpless and nothing is their fault
words from lexi alexander, who had been suspended from this platform for being palestinian
Bizarre that the US can just invade a country, bomb its capital, kidnap its president and his wife, and our PM just says "Well, let's just see what's going on here....".
The window of tapps in llandudno from the inside
Hate freeloaders who join in the New Year's Eve countdown for the last 10 seconds. I've been doing this all year. Where were you back in May
That first Nazgûl who lost Frodo right outside the Shire fucking choked
A tv showing the film Friday After Next, with a Christmas tree in the background
Christmas Eve, Friday After Next
Anyone fancy a thread on the first Christmas ball you've dropped? Was assured by the butchers that I didn't have to order lamb shoulder, "loads in!". Went today and guess what? Your turn!
Sad to hear about Chris Rea, my mum was a big fan, saw him live a few times between Road to Hell, Auberge, and God's Great Banana Skin.
Brilliant moment in a craft beer place just now where a guy comes in and asks for Hawkstone lager - the barman just laughs in his face. It's three days til Christmas and the hospitality filter is thin as a skin.
Maybe I play too much Powerwash Simulator
I'm 100 % neurotypical but today someone called a scissor lift a cherry picker and I can't stop thinking about it.
If handing someone their arse, was a video clip
Great idea! You might want to include a rough guide to how much it would cost, I usually just ask for reasonable expenses if im travelling but I know other people charge
Yes I've got a couple, Victorian pubs/beer houses and I've done one on council estate pubs
I was going to get on my high horse about the world cup draw being more ridiculous than the much derided Eurovision but then I remembered there's a boycott of Eurovision because of Israel and now I just need a lie down.
Sophie Ellis Bextor's kitchen disco? Or has she been accused of war crimes, I can't remember
