Where's Liz Truss when you need her?
Oh, I've not noticed that! Handy.

Thought they'd named a salon after you and then I realised it said Supercuts.

Bands weren't called bands before The Band. They coined the term and everyone else copied them.
Ha, sorry to disappoint.
It had to be reworded to remove the claim about not ruining your appetite. The ad was re-released in 2009 but I'm sure the rewording was earlier than that.
The banned version?
Coughcough and away!
Someone wrote hiccough and now we're expected to pronounce cough as up.
A frustration about not being able to fully express themselves due to cuts to arts funding as a result of austerity and Brexit. That and racism.
Dunnit make ya proud, eh?

My approach to UK place names is: if there's a possibility for alternative pronunciation, it's probably that. Therefore, I say Shroosbury.

I'm going to guess the meat is named after the city and therefore that's exactly what has happened.

The phrase 'Heavens to Murgatroyd' was coined by the Hanna-Barbera writers.
Prior to yesterday I wasn't aware Murgatroyd was a name. I had imagined it was a far planet given Snagglepuss's exclamation and just the unusualness of the word. It is an old English surname, apparently from the 14th century and derives from Moor Gate Road. #Interesting #Etymology

That was for the left over pumpkins.
Oh really, what activities worked best? I find that the tendons down the side of my neck become taut and stretching those help a lot along with touching my toes (or as close as I can get to them).
That's interesting as I've never seen it mentioned. I often encourage people to try stretching but appreciate my experience, and even migraines, are not the same as anyone else's. Does feel like there is a musculoskeletal link to them.

Forgive the unsolicited advice, but for me, stretching especially the back and neck will lessen and, oftentimes, clear a migraine. My migraines came after exercise and tried everything: replace lost water, salts and sugars. Not warning up/stretching before hand was the biggest cause of them.
I use a Virtual Private Car Flap for this very reason.
It's not even DECEMBER 24th just 'twenty-four'
At the cinema and a trailer announces a film is 'COMING DECEMBER 24'. I think you'll find that's in the past.
I have never heard of this person or even the song. Weird how somethings just didn't travel.

M2 (MTV2) had The A-Z of The Streets, Mike Skinner cut so he's reciting the alphabet. Brilliant, but as far as I can tell, lost to the world.
I had a similar feeling about a nursery for my kid. They had a sign which said 'Who's birthday is it today?'.

Diminish a band name: 1 Limited
Forgot I was replying to the original post, but it prompted me looking at this and I do believe it is a poverty indicator.
Interesting map of Lidl's slashed EV charger cables. No where else in the country is there such a concentration of stolen cables than South Yorkshire.

I count the thanks I get for letting people out. I try to get more than I give.

They tend to roll in the piss of other animals which I've always assumed was to hide their own smell and make them smell like what they are going to be hunting.

Eddie Marsan in a Cadbury's Dairy Milk advert, trying to clean an automatic door. He was in a show called Vice, not long after. Olivia Coleman, I remember being in a National Lottery advert for Hotpicks. Her pronunciation annoyed me to remembering. Little did I know she'd be an Oscar winner.
From your discussion with Ian Smith (one of them), could the butterfly have died post-copulation, rather than as a result of a fight? Le grande mort. Not quite as beautiful, perhaps.
180 miles? I think if you look more closely, it's infinitely longer than that. Lewis Fry Richardson probably. (Also, amazing effort Sanna).

Going to mean a second trip to Screwfix in two days. This time for a part costing a grand total of £1.59. No flushing toilet until then. :/
Update on the House that Botch Built. Whilst replacing the flushing mechanism and taking the cistern off the pan, a plastic nut broke in my hand. Only realised that it was integral to preventing water pouring out of the cistern when it came to putting everything back together...
