So much scope. A snotty tissue flourished at the bag search The pee-now-or-after dilemma with scope for slapstick Would it exceed the penis count of the original? Fewer opportunities for animal participation these days

You do wonder exactly how close the staff were driven to madness before the label appeared.
A large air horn in a shop, with a label stuck onto it simply saying “Don’t”.

My sister has life-long incapacity. Since going into care at 26, I have been humbled by the ppl who work with her In covid they protected their charges like lions, giving up family time In hospital they have been in her corner, advising Drs with knowledge & skill beyond their derisory pay level 🦸‍♂️

hi, white dood playing devil's advocate because peoples struggles are theoretical to me. fun to debate their right to equality. while here, I would like to center my voice and perspectives about a cause that means nothing to me. i'm here to take up all the oxygen in the room and exhaust people who are trying to fight against injustice so that we can maintain the status quo which serves me. I have no interest in learning. your frustration is my ultimate goal. let's engage

Yes. And they're very good Not so much fun if one has a burning question Not having a go at MEI alone. It's a shame that (especially but not exclusively London-based) orgs developed the capacity to be more inclusive and then withdrew it

The split starts early. I wanted to pursue physics and history at school. The courses ran concurrently during my GCSEs and A-levels. Assumption that there was no reason for someone to want to study both. Did physics then science at undergrad Doing the BA now. 30 years later

If I don't chase immediately (7 days-ish) then it lives in my mental pocket book forever. Still owed £35 over a jointly bought wedding present 5 yrs ago and £40 from a meal we were going to split with a family member in Jan this yr Hope they'd pay if forward but they prob don't remember!

Down to Cornwall to visit my parents Waiting for the ferry and there's a menacing bank of cloud on the western bank of the Tamar shaking its fist in my face Shame. The glorious sunshine all the way here has persuaded me to stop for a swim. Not gonna be what I was expecting
Cars queuing for the ferry into Cornwall below a bank of cloud, in turn below glorious blue sky

Brexit, the Sitcom Mr Brexit no longer enjoys life as Europe’s most divorced man. Rooting for his phone amongst the discarded cans he texts his ex wife to tell her he’s willing to move back in with her but there will have to be changes. She will have to change. He stares at the phone waiting.

This year has been brutal, and like most people you probably want to do more about climate change. But what, and how? Great news – I’ve written just the book for you! It’s called What One Person Can Do and it’s a clear and simple how-to guide, a roadmap to help you make influential changes...

How I feel right now about the British/ 🇬🇧English( whatever) political landscape is that some one wrapped in a Union Jack could whack me over the head with a flag pole & the BBC would shove a microphone in my face asking why I provoked the attacker & the Home Sec would invite the attacker for tea .

I have a photo somewhere of an empty Oxford Circus taken by my Great Aunt (b 1916) just before her hospital dept (maybe St Thomas's) was evacuated to Surrey in 194-something Different crisis. Same emotional response re those who come after us

Don't know how the eviction process works for repo But a local authority won't put you in emergency accommodation until bailiffs kick you out. If you leave earlier with nowhere to go, you're making yourself intentionally homeless and they don't have to find you somewhere The jeopardy is brutal

Hard to explain how gobsmacking this is. The government opened applications for farm subsidies this morning at 10. And closed it just before 4 because they'd run out of cash. Applying for your livelihood like it's Oasis tickets. defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/2026/09/22/s...

Piece on R4 Today about military recruitment. Interesting point not picked up was that 'while we might not want to admit it, the economy is helping recruitment figures' Wonder what that does for productivity Also thinking of the disproportionate number of vets I saw in prison and now at foodbanks

And a niche channel putting the economic case for reinstating the agricultural lay-by 'This contractor is driving his tractor 20 miles on public roads while the 30 people behind him, non of whom work in farming, include someone late for a meeting and another who'll miss their hospital appointment'

Anna Foster on R4 Today is brilliant She comes across as a team player with no ego Listening as she fetches water and empathises with a speaker with a cough. And real sympathy for John Finnimore losing a close friend Notable in what usually feels like a cleverest soundbite competition
