I was also unexpectedly able to have the flu one myself as a carer, so that's saved me £25 :-) (Had a paid covid one in the summer)

I went with Dad for his flu & covid jabs this morning. While in the queue we overheard the following conversation... Old guy 1 (hint of pride) "My wife's too young for the covid jab!" Old guy 2 "You've got a young missus, then, have you?" Old guy 1 "Well, she's not that young, she's 74..."

Without the online friends I’ve made over the years, some of whom have become offline friends (even recently!), I would be a much, much lonelier person. Social media feels evil sometimes, but it makes some miracles too.

for real, just bang a guitar guy in his car on a back road in texas in ~2007 and then let him dump you in a fit of depression/anxiety six months later, which he will regret for years. boom, personalized music!

For any confused Americans, dogging is a traditional British term for walking the dog, if you're ever over here and see someone with their pet make sure to tell them how much you love dogging. That nothing makes you happier than seeing that wagging tail and panting mouth out on the heath.

Morning. Last week I found out for the first time that Champion The Wonder Horse (stalwart black and white 50s schedule filler up to 1993) was a spin-off. Champion was Gene Autry’s horse, and it was a 1955 cash in on the success of the Gene Autry Show. He’s like horse Frasier.

Still from Monty Python's Life Of Brian. Brian is standing before a indifferent crowd, attempting to look like a prophet by delivering a monologue which begins "Consider the lilies." This has been recaptioned as "Consider the crocodiles".
