I have made another donation to the RNLI today. Their crews are best of humanity. The thugs threatening them and peddling ridiculous lies about the organisation are the worst.

Many others have said this already, but, sheesh, what a stitch-up vet's bills are in the UK now. A few companies own it all and basically charge what they like. A few tests are nearly £2000? Still we can comfort ourselves with the thought that the directors are having nice skiing holidays

In the overall scheme of global fuckery and horror this is a small thing, I know. But it feels huge to me. My cat Spike, barely more than a kitten, went missing for 10 days and finally crawled home with a fractured pelvis (hit by a car we think)

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

On behalf of all soy-allergy sufferers, can I say that it is NOT helpful for a packaged vegetable dish to be described as "cabbage, carrots and tenderstem broccoli" ... when in fact edamame (i.e. soy) beans are a large part of the ingredients, but only mentioned in the small print!
