I understand that people are buying RNLI Christmas cards in order to add money to all the donations which are flooding in.
Now it appears that some are planning to buy them and send them to Reform's free post address.
Really, if you did that, it would cost them an awful lot of money.
But people want to know if such an address exists.
It does.

A bit of a turnip for the books for the Greens, that result. A right kick in the sprouts. Someone will get a right broccoling. They’ll have to plough on though. No point in throwing in the trowel.

AI that
A small bird screams at a big bird - in Birdese - about the bigger bird eating its offspring. The bigger bird replies - in birdese - that he’ll be back next year to do it again.  A human listens to birdsong on a CD.

The VAR referee Matt Donohue managed sports provisions at Gresswell school for 8 years.
Guess who funded that school's sports programmes while he was there?
Yes, Manchester City.
They funded this guy for nearly a decade.

From @theathletic.com today
And Finally...
Game day. Keys, wallet, phone... scarf? Second-tier French club Dijon FCO have incorporated their season tickets into club scarves using digital chips — aiming to replace the need for physical paper tickets, while also adding to the atmosphere in a way that virtual ticketing cannot provide.
Fans must scan a patch embroidered with the club's logo of an owl to gain access - which certainly turns heads. Oh, and it also works as a wallet for buying drinks at concession stands.
Dreamy.

Nagori 名残
JAPANESE
Nagori means savouring what you know to be ending.
It's the final song of a wedding.
It's the last sleep in the house you grew up in. It's smiling at the mispronounced words of a child you never want to correct.
Nagori means recognising there is joy to find in the fading light.
