Typical media shenanigans going on. Rishi Sunak WAS in the picture with other world leaders, they have just conveniently cropped him out

Me in my 20s sleeping at a friend’s house: “Don’t worry that you haven’t got a spare bed, I will sleep on the kitchen floor or in the bath or folded into a cupboard or in the big bush outside your front door” Me now I’m 40: “Thank you for the offer of a spare bed, but I’m going to drive three hours home to my own one instead”

I couldn’t get upset with April for the relentless rain. I expected it. It’s a month literally famous for showers. But what’s your excuse, May? I really thought you were different. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

3 May 1956. The commercial company, Granada TV, began broadcasting from Manchester at 7:30 PM, with the words: “From the North, this is Granada.” Each programme contained advertisement breaks. The highlight of opening night was a variety show called “London salutes Lancashire”.

We are delighted that the Noise Abatement Notice has been amended in favour of @nightanddaycafe with the judge agreeing to the noise levels that we offered to @ManCityCouncil in June 2023 as part of joint testing and negotiations.

Thank you @PaddyMcGuinness. You really didn’t get it wrong. You captured the absurdity of a system that’s fuelling a crisis hurting millions. The PM promised to ‘restore’ NHS dentistry. We’re still waiting… SIGN & SHARE this petition to Rishi Sunak. 38d.gs/SaveNHSDentistry

I put Wallace and Gromit in Aliens so you could see what would happen if they went to LV-426 instead of the moon. Pretty happy with it to be fair.

Parcel delivery firm DPD have replaced their customer service chat with an AI robot thing. It’s utterly useless at answering any queries, and when asked, it happily produced a poem about how terrible they are as a company. It also swore at me. 😂
