I’m sure this will be fine. Not like any company before has had massive commitments invisible to readers of their balance sheets and gone bust. That has never happened, oh no.

Less of a fess, more of an exposé. I work for the security services and the percentage of colleagues who have 007 as the code on their locker beggars belief. One in three, I'd say.

Men talking talking weight loss drugs to the FT: “I don’t do drugs any more. But I’m still in this dealer’s WhatsApp group and I’ll often be texted his latest “shopping list”. And I noticed on the new one there is: coke, mushrooms, pills… and GLP-1s.” www.ft.com/content/65f4...

If you think closing an RNLI station is done by people with "legitimate concerns" you really need to give your head a wobble. It's an unforgivable act of thuggery.

For a weird moment, I thought the FT story was also bylined Ed Sheeran.

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Things I was frightened of as a child: *The weird kid who used to visit his uncle who lived on our road and threatened to throw himself from the roof of a derelict building *the Black Beauty theme music *Daleks *Adders (I’ve never seen one) *the rising tide (I grew up on the coast) *Catweazle

Once ordered choucroute in a small restaurant in Lille and then asked for a cup of tea. “Tea?!” The proprietor shouted to the whole restaurant. She then stormed off and returned slamming a bottle of Leffe on the table. Beer or nothing was my option.

Let me get this right: if you're a retired vicar and peacefully hold up a sign opposing genocide, you're a terrorist. But if 1200 morons put on balaclavas and close half of Dover to stop people *escaping* genocide, police "constructively engage." Is that it? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

A cautionary tale. Teenage daughter complained bitterly about Find My phone. One night she got lost in London and had enough juice in her phone to say she was lost and had no money. I drove and found her at 2am because Find My phone works for an hour or so even after a phone has died.
