My wife says she wants to go the British Museum to buy a tapestry. Don't know where we're going to put it.

What possible reason could Andrew Neil have to dislike Private Eye? Some kind of vested interest?

It's lazy. It's tedious. It's aggravating. The result? Irritated readers. And that changes everything. At heart, this serves as a powerful reminder to edit your copy.

I think that opinion on that one is more one sided?

I'm pondering which social issue creates more fury and division: 1. Shoes-on vs shoes-off in the house 2. Seat reclining on planes

I think I'm at Leicester Square but the roundel says "Opening Night". Dumb.

Best 7-0 I've seen since Liverpool thumped Man Utd in 2023

Croatia just needs six goals in five minutes to take a well-earned point from this game

And as a guest you should ask "is it shoes on or off" ?

I am not very worried about about the Tory Tapestry’s misuse of “doth”. What worries me much more is this sequence of panels which seems to show a small boat full of brown-skinned people followed by a plague of rats running riot and then a lot of dead white people labelled tax payers.

Detail from Conservative Party mock Bayeux Tapestry showing 1. A boat full of brown skinned people. 2. Enormous rats chasing cats. 3. White-skinned “tax payers” dead in the streets.

If it's any consolation, by that point there'll be five Sudans

Speculating wildly here, but could you have a system where either pilots or crew could trigger transmission of live cockpit+fuselage video to a ground centre, who could remotely unlock the door if they observed a critical emergency situation?

Poor. If the King's been doing slavery on his Caribbean tour, he should apologise.

I wonder if Brits have internalised how much the UK’s 'pull' has lessened vs 10–15 yrs ago. There’s much less upside for eg Poles or Czechs in moving here, especially after housing costs. The UK is still relatively prosperous, but no longer so far ahead of much of central and eastern Europe.

Local Sainsbury's is selling Halloween pumpkins on 1st October

For the first broadcast, or the second (a few months later if I recall) ?

Do you not have a neighborhood WhatsApp group where people recommend plumbers, moan about the bins, appeal for the return of missing cats and engage in casual racism?

Indeed. Though the triple lock was originally intended to build pensions back up as a percentage of average earnings, which had fallen sharply between 1979 and 2000 as earnings soared. Arguably that correction has run its course.

021

True, although the UK state pension still pays less as a percentage of average earnings than other G7 countries
