They've laid it flat. So, the only way to see it is like this. Ridiculous.

Reminds me of this from The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
     And he said:
     Your children are not your children.
     They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
     They come through you but not from you,
     And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

I was showing a French guy around the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and when we got to The Death Of Nelson painting he thanked us (Britain) for defeating Napoleon.

Just went past a petrol (gas) station and here's where we are at in the UK
Based on the current exchange rate of $1.36 per £1 (as of May 10, 2026), 158.5 pence per litre js approximately $8.18 per US gallon.

Just seen this and none of the horrendous comments are anonymous. "Good", "Every little helps", "Off to get a chippy tea to celebrate". The majority of the emojis are laughing.

I'm in no place to offer advice but here's my sister's husky wearing sunglasses. You'll never be this cool, but you can try. And that's important.

Did you ever see this series? The fighters had a massive bomb on the front and was obviously just because that would be an easy model to make with a spring. And also a toy for merch.
