This…this is haunted, right? There is no chance this isn’t haunted or cursed or something like that.
Not sure how to describe this but it was outside a junk shop. There is a life-sized figure of a man in a black suit and bow tie, frilled short, glasses, and close-cropped gray hair and goatee. He is standing beside a red and tan market barrow with wheels on one end and a handle on the other for wheeling it around. His hands rest on the top of the barrow, palms upward.  I don’t know if it moves or what, and I don’t think I want to find out.

How to make the perfect fattoush
In the Middle East, this chopped salad is eaten at almost every meal. Should yours include radishes, peppers or both? And is it a no-no to add feta?

Crabbe was also a huge inspiration to American poet Edwin Arlington Robinson, who wrote quite a moving poem about him:
GEORGE CRABBE

Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows, 
Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will, - 
But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still 
With the sure strength that fearless truth endows.
In spite of all fine science disavows, 
Of his plain excellence and stubborn skill 
There yet remains what fashion cannot kill, 
Though years have thinned the laurel from his brows.

Whether or not we read him, we can feel 
From time to time the vigor of his name 
Against us like a finger for the shame 
And emptiness of what our souls reveal 
In books that are as altars where we kneel 
To consecrate the flicker, not the flame.

A poster featuring a drawing of a cat named “Gangsta” asking “Please do not feed this cat.” It further says “Hello my name is Gangsta. I have a loving home and my family feeds me well. But lately other people are feeding me too. My family loves me. Please don’t feed me. I am overweight and trying to diet. Please don’t tempt me with food or snacks. From your friend, a slightly chubby cat.”

And QED again. I’m sorry reality is too difficult for you to understand. Nonetheless, the science remains firmly on my side. Perhaps the problem is that your chosen “media” is busy “forcefeeding” you weaponized ignorance, which you swallow gladly?

Listening to R4 I learned that a massive swing to Green is a “failure of leadership” and a rapid growth of party membership has made the Greens a “monster”. This from the folk who kiss Reform’s backside at every chance. I don’t like Polanski and he definitely lost but the BBC are still biased af.

I never claimed to be a hero, mature or humble. I posted something that was offensive in ways I hadn’t intended to people I hadn’t intended to target, and then removed it because some people (not you) honestly pointed that out to me. But please, keep on making up stuff about me.
