This cat named Simba, who lives in Rotterdam, was previously adopted from the streets. However, whenever he gets the chance, Simba secretly sneaks out without his owner knowing to meet and play with his street friends.
When returning home, he makes sure not to step on the snow accumulated between the rooftops so that his paws won't get wet and his owner won't realize he has been outside. Instead, he makes his way home like this across the rooftops.
But there was someone Simba hadn't counted on: his neighbor Sophie! 😂 Sophie records Simba's secret adventures on camera and shows them to his owner, and this incident causes quite a stir across the country 😂❤️

After 3 hours on hold... yes 3 HOURS, I reached number 2 in the queue. Then a different message came up saying, " We're are very busy, thank you, goodbye" and cut me off. I'm livid!!
That is horrific. So sorry
On hold with the hospital.
"Your call is important to us, but all our operators are busy at the moment. Please hold or call again later. You are currently number... 9 in the queue".
I've been number 9 for 14 minutes so far. Seems stuck. I better put my phone on charge.

OK can anyone tell me how this is even legal?
We are supposedly given a recommended daily allowance of synthetic folic acid of 400 ug. Despite 99.02% of us not needing it and indeed probably suffering damage because of it.
@CMO_England Chris Whitty WHY??
This quoted post is unavailable.
So that’s it is it? Eat a bowl of cereal & that’s your lot for the day. And that’s those that can consume the synthetic chemical folic acid safely which is very few. Awful legislation. Needs to be reversed asap

I have stents.
So according to the NHS I need to avoid folic acid.
When asked about allergies in a cafe last week I asked for a folic acid-free sandwich and they looked at me like I was mad, you know that 'sorry, what?' look and asked me what I meant.
Most people have no idea.
@Waitrose has closed the door on a customer trying to avoid synthetic folic acid.
After weeks of correspondence (Case 19308882) they wrote:
“Please refer to my email on 20/10, where I advised that we are unable to assist you further on this matter, as all available information has already been shared. Please note that while any further correspondence will be logged on your file, it may not be responded to.”
One slice of fortified bread is fine. Ordinary daily intake of bread + cereal + pie/pastry + biscuits easily exceeds 300–450 μg — well over the 200 μg level previously advised for over-50s because of B12-masking risk.
A substantial part of Waitrose’s core customer base is over 50. They have no system to identify folic-acid-free products and no plan to warn customers about cumulative exposure.
@ClareCraigPath has highlighted the issues with unmetabolised folic acid and the limits of the safety data. Retailers following the mandate still have a duty to consider cumulative effects under the Food Safety Act.

The final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, titled "Goodbyeee," originally aired on BBC1 on November 2, 1989.
It is famous for its sudden, tragic shift from biting sitcom satire to a somber portrayal of the First World War.

The flowers of Remembrance. Hour after hour an unceasing pilgrimage of bereaved mothers, wives, daughters, and sweethearts lay floral offerings on the Cenotaph. Armistice Day, London, 1920.

My Dad was only 20 years old when was killed in Normandy in August 1944 two months before I was born.
He was younger than three of my grandchildren are now.
He has always been a hero to me.
“When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today"
Veterans shouldn’t be sleeping rough ANYTIME of year. It’s utterly disgusting that illegals come here and get free housing plus everything else. Yet our own servicemen who have sometimes given everything, health & mental health for their country are left without. What a disgrace

The cat saw that the dog's bed was bigger than its own and immediately claimed it without hesitation.
Meanwhile, the dog is so afraid of the cat that it doesn't even dare to reclaim its own bed.
Cats really are the only creatures in this world capable of striking fear into everyone! 😂
“There are however risks with excessive intake”
Yeh right so foist it on the WHOLE population not just pregnant women. FOLIC ACID which is now in many, many foods unless you’re eating a stone age diet so is definitely excessive & harmful to many.Thanks government, complete idiocy

Amazing skill
This is incredible to watch.
Taking raw bundles of straw and turning them into a roof that will last for decades. By hand!
Just pure skill passed down for generations.
So much respect for Shane Stevens and young craftsmen like him who keep old crafts alive.
Have you ever seen a thatched roof being done in real life?

A few people have also raised another issue, MPs falling asleep in the House of Commons.
It's an absolutely appalling look for Parliament.
Millions of hardworking Britons would face disciplinary action if they were caught sleeping on the job. Why should MPs be any different?
If you're caught sleeping in the chamber, you should be called out and face consequences.
You're paid by the British taxpayer to represent them, not to have an afternoon nap.
The people making our laws should be held to the same standards as the people expected to follow them.
I completely agree with this.
For far too long, the Speaker has tolerated poor behaviour from both sides of the House.
The result? An erosion of respect for Parliament, and the British public can see it happening in real time.
I would also like to see a ban on mobile phones in the chamber.
Too many MPs sit glued to their screens, looking bored, distracted and completely disengaged.
You're elected to represent the British public, not sit scrolling through your phone.
Parliament deserves better standards. So do the people paying their salaries.
