Occurred to me that I've probably only seen about half a dozen wasps all summer. I'm not a big wasp fan, but that's a bit alarming when you think about it.

I'm glad that my dad only uses Facebook as a way to save his daft little farm game. He also hasn't found GB News because my mum monopolises the telly to watch the soaps.
Grey-haired commandos disable Puffin Pedestrian Crossing in Ilfracombe because they use passive infrared sensors to detect waiting walkers and to assist people with limited vision
Pensioners attack traffic lights over wild 'deadly weapon' claims
An online movement say that the sensors on traffic lights can cause heart attacks, brain cancer, anxiety and even sudden death

Not the straightforward op we were hoping for. Gallbladders are twats.
She's gone down to theatre.
Will my wife get her operation today? No. Except maybe yes. But not definitely. But start fasting, just in case, yeah? Apparently.

I'm not getting my dick out for Charlie Kirk.
One year after his death, Charlie Kirk has become the Harambe for Gen Alpha. A meme so strange and hideous that no brand or government can ever co-opt it. And MAGA has never felt older and weaker and more out of touch.
