From what I’ve seen and read, including on here, American teenagers EXPECT their parents will buy them cars

For the rest of the world that’s completely insane

Man who supported Brexit then fucked off to Monaco to avoid contributing a penny of his £15 billion fortune to public services makes the mistake of thinking anyone gives a shit what he thinks.

It should have been clear from the beginning that the US is not part of the global football family, never will be. And frankly we don’t want them & are better off without. This World Cup is a terrible mistake

Third year in a row we’ve swapped houses for all June with French friends who retired to the Var. Luckily they still love the West Country.
Booked a holiday within a holiday for next week, we’re heading over the Italian border for 5 days - Laigueglia. Looks lovely so fingers crossed

Stunning and right on the money...
Ukrainian diplomacy is blunt bc Ukrainians buried the illusion of “brotherly nations” in mass graves across occupied Ukraine.

And Ambassador Melnyk is right: after everything russia did — and continues doing — to our people, there is no “going back to normal.” Ever. #UkrainianView

“What’s the story” - one of the great albums. Missed it at the time;we were in our thirties, young kids but hearing it now; so fresh & vibrant
Classic British working class sound; follow it back through The Jam, Pistols to Beatles & Rolling Stones that intensity of feeling has always been there
