Man City in cheating shock The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1685 of Private Eye magazine with the caption "on shelves now." The cover is a “Football Special” and reads “MAN CITY IN CHEATING SHOCK”. It shows Andy Burnham on a football pitch, with the captions “They’ve brought in a new defender!” and “He’s playing at No. 10!” The bottom of the cover reads: “YES! IT’S THE BOOTY-FUL GAME!”

A few years ago I had a flight of whimsy where I decided to plant some banksias right next to my loungeroom with the idea that one day I'd be able to casually watch black cockatoos from the comfort of my couch. My friends, that day hath cometh.
Lil black cockatoo head peeking at me through my windowFour black cockatoos in an olive tree eating banskia seed heads.

The White-bellied Sea Eagle is found right around the Australian coast as well as PNG, SE Asia, India and Sri Lanka. The sexes are similar but the female is slightly larger. Wingspan can be over 2m. Prey on fish, birds, turtles, reptiles and small mammals and eat carrion. #birds #eagles #WildOz

Wait, so according to an official document, signed by Donald Trump and all of his favorite oligarchs, Trump is the president not of the United States, but of “the Unites States.” Seems like it’s time for him to vacate the WH and get on over to wherever that place is.
