Reminds me of when the History Channel I think it was, completely missed the very obvious signs that one of the contestants on their wood-cutting challenge (possibly the winner), was an outright Nazi.
A friend of a friend has a daughter called Loveday.
Never.
Whoop whoop! Logging off.
Watching the clock tick over to 5pm is like watching the last minute on the washing machine - unfathomably long.
Yeah, I can support that message.
You can’t defeat fascism by voting Labour if Labour are, in fact, doing fascist things.
Gordon Brown was right in the first place, that woman was a bigot and he should never have caved and apologised. It was a slippery slope and we’ve been moving the Overton window ever since. You do not starve a wolf by feeding it and you do not defeat fascism by carrying it out yourself.
It’s an unusual contender but I really fucking hate Ferne Cotton.

She should have said teenage daughter because then she could have made up that a few years later she was an adult and went to Kenya and got married.
Am I wrong for assuming that this post should be read as a The Streets song?
I used to be a Home Office lawyer, working on immigration law and, absent some kind of severe disability rendering an adult child a dependent, I’d like to know the answer to that too. Of course, had she such a dependent, the visa would have been refused anyway.
Can’t imagine why that sounds made up…
Or become somebody’s girlfriend.
New nickname just dropped.
Well fuck you.
Can you at least turn the fucking lights on in stuff so that I can actually see what is going on?

Having seen screenshots this morning, IMO that was a fucking stupid arrest because they’re clearly not a crime and all it will succeed in doing is undermining the prosecution of real offences and will result in a watering down of the law, making people less safe and emboldening bigots.
We probably spent ten minutes just looking at the letters of the last word, knowing it was only one word, knowing it was only those letters and STILL saying “that is not a word”!

Was Andrew McCarthy there?
Ok, I’ve been out having a life. What was the announcement?
Has she forgiven you?
@harryhuh.bsky.social
I just wished they’d bound her hands with duct tape too so that she couldn’t take off the bit on her mouth.
Hopefully so did he!
Doesn’t seem to have been an update in the last 3 weeks
I don’t know actually, let me see if I can find it
Happy birthday!
Ah but I read on Reddit that someone’s wife was renting out their NI number and had reached the find out stage. So it’s possible you could have tax being applied to your NI number but not have received the money 🤷🏼♀️
Be fair, Andras, the Welsh are to blame too.
I was a bit slow on the easy one but did the hard one in 2:18. Not too bad.

Poor little things. I’d only we could talk to them and explain to her why she’s there 😞
All 4 Green MPs voted for it and so, in my opinion, that makes them just as deadly for my people as the rest of the bunch and I cannot vote for them. If he’s going to introduce a policy that is contrary to the shitshow the others voted for, I’ll listen.
*if, obviously.
Anyone know his views on assisted dying? Obviously he didn’t vote on the bill as he’s not an MP but I’d like to know how he would have voted off he had been.
What?! What for?
How is Shiva doing? Is she still as scared as she was?
The announcement could be JDV walking on stage, saying ‘who’s got two thumbs and is President now?’ And then Trump walks out saying ‘Surprise, Muthafuckers! It’s still me! I just had a really shit tattoo done and removed from my hand’. And if it’s not that, ngl I’ll be disappointed.
I haven’t done that one yet as it doesn’t really work as one me and Harry can do as a pair. The hard one took me ages the other day.
My mum would definitely shop there.
I solved the Tuesday 9/02/2025 New York Times Daily Crossword in 45:19! Two wrong answers buggered us a bit.
At least it’s that way round and not the other way round though. Otherwise, we’d be doing all that plus killing people.
It’s just so weird though! If they’re the same person, why are they so invested in what you think about them? And if they are a different person, why are they so desperate to tell you that they like them? And why tell you over and over again? Absolutely freakish behaviour.

I think I’m having perimenopausal bad sleep, so that’s nice.
I have only ever heard of this person when you do this and then they *always* come up. I’m starting to think they have a sock puppet account that follows you.
Checking in. 🫡

Turn one inside out. Ideally, the glove not the hand.
Presumably he needed a ticket masala for that journey.

You should totally do a creative arts one, you are great at art
You should take that and THEN YOU’D KNOW IF THE OTHER BEARS CAN TALK
Whoop whoop! I’m a serial studier, what are you doing?
Although American lettuce regularly tries to kill people.
I’ve just realised that this was where this morning’s two discourses had their crossover episode!
I think I may have put too many negatives in that post. My point is, I am confident I can pee at any Wetherspoons I go to and that is not guaranteed elsewhere!
Their breakfasts are great though! You must have found a bad one having a bad day. My praise for Wetherspoons is that I’ve never been to one that doesn’t have a working wheelchair-accessible toilet that isn’t full of stock/chairs/coats & that is absolutely not true at most other pubs, chain or not.
Oooh we should go here @harryhuh.bsky.social
Oh she liked one of mine too - I wondered who she was! I must have got a drive-by liking from something I said to one of you two.
Ahhhh! Ok. That at least makes a degree of sense.
THE ANSWERS ARE IN THE FIRST FILM, TERRY SO CALLED ‘LEOPARD’! There was an expedition, an explorer taught English to Uncle Pastuzo and Great Aunt Lucy but he wasn’t prepared to let them be studied to death so he was kicked out of the club. Some of you have never seen Paddington and it shows.
I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.
It was invented in Glasgow, by a Glaswegian. Why are you so racist to assume that brown people can’t be British?
It is British. It was invented by British people. How is it not British?
But why does he have one leg in a bag?
Sorry, too many characters for the post!
😂😂
It was a very strange mix of Bond Brosnan English, cockney geezer and Irish.
As @harryhuh.bsky.social has just said, gonna start reviewing films with ‘all of these people can walk, not relatable at all. Unwatchable 2/10’
