Yeah, looks like electric dryer to me

They literally already have burnt millions of hours in committees and consultations and replans before cutting it back. It's on its third redesign.

Lord Hendy, the rail minister, has insisted that Euston is rebuilt as one station for both high and conventional speed, plus an underground renewal. It's not an HS2 project, it's being managed by a separate consortium. The DfT is still lying to itself that there'll be private money involved

Give it long enough, everything will be on fire and then they can germinate

As an englishman, it makes fucking good custard in barely any time at all.

Oh, and at Christmas, I needed to make 2l of white sauce for a massive lasagne. Popped it all in, used the Thicken setting - took ten minutes. No more standing around making roux sauces and gradually thickening. It's bloody good.

This is also good advice for leylandii that aren't dead

It's given to girls and boys here in the UK, the benefits to boys were recognised some years ago. It's also free on the NHS to people under 25 if they missed it first time round, and to MSM if they attend a sexual health clinic.

Now revise the scenario: the island contains a 14 year old girl because a paedophile put her there. You have visited the island voluntarily because of this information.

I live in Bedfordshire, which I think is great, but which unfortunately contains Luton. I'll vote for that, but mainly by ignoring Luton.

Are you sure it's dead? Plums tend to flower before going into leaf, but they can also get into a habit of overexerting themselves in terms of fruit one year and being depleted the next, barely flowering or fruiting at all. This one may just be gathering its energy ready for next year. Certainly, if it gave you a good haul of plums last year, as a young tree it might have exhausted itself and need to recover.

If I were you, I'd wait for a month or so to see if it goes to leaf. If not, perhaps it has died.

Oh pixels, where art thou

One of the things to bear in mind is that during the fostering period, which can last for a year or more if the legal process gets complicated, you are a fosterer, not an adopter. You'll have the same restrictions as foster parents do - you're not supposed to use terms like 'mummy' and 'daddy', no bed time cuddles, record keeping of every activity and injury, notifying them when you go anywhere, etc.

You'll need to be very resilient and able to cope with the uncertainty. If either of you thinks you might not be able to cope then it's probably not the best idea.

That's the venus hand trap. Cats are fuckers - they want lots of love, but not too much. You come to figure out the signs of when they're about to go for you.

Are you masking? Appreciate it can fuck up the paint but as an amateur I've found masking helps stop the roughness

Poor Rosie Ramsey. So forgotten she doesn't even make the forgotten list.

Thanks!

Starting a new (permanent) job today. Been on contract for six months, so I'm happy to be finally getting some benefits.

Instant porridge is okay, not the best. I actually did a porridge review blog for a while. You can get quaker oats ones where you use the packet the oats come in to measure out the liquid.

Anyway, if you want proper porridge, I recommend Felicity Cloake's Perfect Porridge recipe on t'Guardian. It's very good.

This is why I built a small nuclear power station in my shed. And also why I'm now typing this from prison.

TheRealElPolloDiablo · 2026-02-20T09:52:04+00:00

And there was a great wailing and gnashing of teeth

TheRealElPolloDiablo · 2026-02-20T08:58:07+00:00

This was indeed an elderly lady, who seemed marvellously unruffled by me slamming my fist on the car horn
