“Oh William, you are so funny!” “Darling, do have another piece of cheese.” “Don’t lick the fucking camera lens.”

How can anybody be so far up their arse to think it’s a good idea to push this nonsense out.

I understand the need to investigate this thoroughly. I also appreciate that there are a lot of cheats and liars to shift through in this particular cluster fuck. Still, ten years to investigate is a lot of time.

The Government must ensure that this process is followed to the rightful conclusion. We need to see a bunch of people behind bars for their contribution to the 72 deaths.

The BBC has been on the case yesterday and today, and at least I’m somewhat interested and perhaps even tempted to go see them. But do people care?

What other band, if they got back together, would tempt you?

Looks like PE requirements have gone up a bit, seeming that being an olympian is not sufficient.

Let me describe an idea I heard from a very innovative person, which I think would be really useful right now in midst of the general election campaign.

The basic idea is to interpret politician’s or basically any talking head’s speech realtime and check the semantics against the Internet. Imagine a banner at the bottom of a TV screen with a line being drawn as the person talks.

If what the person says correlates positively with what can be found in reputable Internet sources, the line goes up and is green. There is evidence they are speaking the truth.

If what the person says correlates negatively with the sources, the line goes down and is red. There is evidence they are lying.

If what the person says does not correlate with the sources, the line is flat and brown, because they are spewing unadulterated bullshit.

I’d pay for this service.

Sunak comes across like the prat he is. “Labor will raise taxes by £2,000 for everybody” regardless of the question. Talking over all the time, not listening to the moderator. Appalling creature. Starmer sympathises a lot with people asking questions without answering them. Skating around or just plainly ignoring questions all the time. I can’t watch this shit a minute longer.

The weather has been kind this weekend, so I cleaned the BBQ and made ribs & wings.

I’ve been watching the Rugby Cup Final this evening and fuming. They have this fancy new traveling side camera and they can’t help but use it. STOP IT!!! You are making everybody seasick. Which made me think, might you good people have examples of when somebody badly overplayed their new toy? On a completely unrelated note, do we already have a community for rants?

…how bloody old are you?

Lamb, rosemary and garlic is a match made in heaven. The only thing to do now is wait for several hours, and perhaps down a glass or three of red.

On Friday we got our annual treat: half a lamb from a farm near us. We made rosemary, chilli and garlic butter, roast potatoes, cavolo nero, cauliflower and carrots with lamb chops. The chops are as fresh and tasty as can be, simply great!

After numerous long evenings and weekends our sauna is back in use. Completely renovated shower room, new floor in the dressing room, floor heating in both, new stove, new lights, benches sanded down and appropriately treated, sauna room walls washed and treated, log building painted from the outside. The works. Today it was in use for the first time and the electricity was free 2-4 pm as part of the Octopus Energy trial, so it didn’t even cost a penny to heat! This is our boys conducting a quality inspection.
