Bought a massive tomato for £2 but it fell out of the push chair.
If you find it, you are welcome
Got a bullet train today from a station in the middle of a field in between two town that together are about the size of Brighouse.
Obviously it is one of many times that Spanish high speed rail is in the press for being Not Good but also reminds you how shit the UK is when you go anywhere else
Of course, this wasn't the case, because that would be ridiculous.
This part of the story, though, is incredibly Dyche-y
My friend saw Sean Dyche at the Globe earlier. Presumably he heard spurs were interested in Tudor and got the wrong end of the stick.
As a regular BBC radio listener, I am completely sick of the new arctic monkeys song
My wonderful not-quite-9-month-old daughter headbutted me hard enough in the nose that I am worried I might get black eyes
“The IDF said the incident is under investigation”
You have appeared from nowhere to critique a throwaway comment, only to respond like this to me reciprocating your initial (unasked for) facetiousness.
It is impossible to say who comes out looking like an idiot in this exchange.
Because sometimes you simply have to say something
Home to a lot of disaffected millennials, I believe
Polanski doing a video for alienated millennials with the flats from peep show in the background, is it?
This is the ideal child's band shirt experience, I definitely had one (can't remember what) with very obvious pasta sauce stains I tried to persevere with
Anyway, I enjoy this as a thing an I want to go more extreme
Where can I buy 12-18 month xiu xiu t shirts?
I remember wearing a strokes shirt to my year 6 party and that seems an absurd claim on my part as a 11 year old
A three year old simply cannot understand joy division
Saw a ~3yo running about earlier in an unknown pleasures shirt
Children in band shirts is a comical thing
Early on he said "if you do your homework, he was involved in the gulf war and actually has war crimes charges against him" and I was like, ok you're putting it a bit weirdly but this is valid, then went off the deep end entirely
I was listening to 606, for my sins, and didn't bother to turn over when the current affairs equivalent came on.
The first public caller immediately claimed that Tony Blair was executed in Guantanamo Bay so any suggestion he's on the Gaza board is all a rouse.
Had this exact argument with someone on Reddit who essentially said that the PA acts of sabotage only happened in the UK because they knew they wouldn't get punished. They're all as bad as eachother.
The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval.
If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.
I haven't seen it said but tgere is definitely a drug angle to this, as in the us army would like to be able to sell lots of drugs again
I hope everyone at the Nobel Prize commitee and every other dunce around the world wakes up to the bill of goods they've been sold and enjoys the fucking ride they've put us on now the US is turning and going, "Oh what? The heroic Peace Prize lady in charge? Are you kidding? Nobody likes her."
Even to the point that there are probably much more credible war crimes/ crimes against humanity charges against Zelenskyy
Liberals of all stripes are complicit
Even presupposing that the "save us, America" crowd are there and as big as they say they are there is nowhere near the legitimacy that Russia had in invading Ukraine (which again is an already illegal war)
Russia and Ukraine have also been at war for a decade - yet zelenskyy is free to do whatever
Truly remarkable
Guardian reporting on the "putinisation" of American foreign policy
Next stop on the War Tour:
Trump to Fox: “Claudia Sheinbaum is a good woman, but the cartels are running Mexico.
“She’s not running Mexico — the cartels are running Mexico.
“Something’s going to have to be done with Mexico.”
It is incredible and very telling of how America assumes everywhere functions that they think they can decapitate the government and immediately MAS will fall.
It won't and I assume the reaction will just be trying to follow the Gaza playbook which will quickly just turn into Vietnam
Maduro doesn't happen if Gaddafi didn't happen.
If there were malleable Islamic fundamentalists in South America this would've happened under Obama.
"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.
