This is what happens when one of you orders off the specials menu. If they'd both stuck to big macs would've been 20 minutes tops.

"privately flash alarms" good metaphoring there. Only really works if you mean the other kind of flash.

I genuinely find it kinda weird to want to be a singer on stage and stay A- political. It's just a character type I honestly can't picture.

It's just galling for cyclists when you commute to work, and your constantly dodging pedestrians who step into the road without looking, cars will swipe you on purpose or by accident on a daily basis, the papers blame cyclists for getting killed by 'cars' and then the bsky chat is dangerous cycling.

100% opposite way of doing this. I call on god's judgement if I accidentally litter or something and nobody else is around to judge me.

I am once again planning to ride too far on my bike for charity, this time from Vienna to Budapest, like some sort of Habsburg. Please donate if you can for a fantastic charity. gvwhl.com/XTUSR

I keep banging the drum about this, but I think people really underestimate the negative effects of that blue line going up like that.

Isn't that just slightly below the US average? And so is 3 47 supposed to be like symbolic? But that doesn't obviously work.

Mine is somehow Bournemouth, despite us having an office there. The next is probably Telford. Though 50-50 if I've ever been to Wirral.

Always sceptical of productivity as a measure. For eg. UK has reduced average working hour weeks far slower than Germany. Plus rules on what counts as being at work. And whether productivity is necessarily good.

Never noticed before how Declan rice just nonchalantly takes corners without placing the ball with his hands. Seems like a bit of a flex these days.

When I studied sociology two separate lecturers started their courses with "we have the evidence, but unfortunately the economists/cops won" and it was gist of two others.

Keep seeing this take and isn't that just the collapse of the Tory party? They had so many PMs that an unpopular labour leader easily beat them. (Also that four is two leaders who were also ousted). There were 6 PMs in the 50s, averaged similar 2.5yrs per PM most of the post war era.

People often laugh at sports commentators, but Rob Hatch covering an especially rainy cycling stage just said 'Bauke Mollema, a man who sounds like he was named underwater' so I think that makes up for a lot.

Okay, this falls into a bugbear of mine. The answer was very good because it showed her mindset. It was therefore a good question, and not really a clapback. Very reasonable for her to have felt like it was 'two lost goals'. ridiculous to Gu though-because solid mindset.

The weird but about this particular story, is that it makes the 'I just paid him for tax advice' claims of some investor types seem a tad less outrageous. I mean, still immoral if not illegal, but i guess feasible that's what it was for.

My employer uses a learning portal, and since it seems I will be using AI in the near future. I thought I'd see if they have any courses. Amusingly, the learning portal also has AI built into the search, which makes it nigh on impossible to access the courses.
