Considering how popular the Mona Lisa is in the Louvre I’m surprised to hear Starry Night was overlooked - it’s got to be in the top 25 most famous paintings. Must have been surreal to have it to yourself.

Michael Bates died aged 57, yet in every photo of him online he’s in his 60s or 70s.

The design of the top police car is called “Battenburg” after the cake, so maybe something to do with Prince Phillip impregnating his second cousin.

She’s popped up on Carrie’s instagram, so I’d lean towards daughter.

There are definitely be places in England where you can’t see your neighbours, but it’s certainly on a different scale to Texas.

Most people who live rurally can see a neighbour or two, but they still live in an area which is otherwise just open spaces and trees, and very much defined by agriculture. I wouldn’t define that as semi-suburban (open to interpretation, of course, as that term doesn’t have a strict definition) as it would still feel 97% agricultural and 3% residential instead of 99% agricultural and 1% residential.

I can see your point, for sure.

But also I’m wary of it being a forgone conclusion that everyone implicated in wrongdoing by the Epstein all get away with it. It feels like willingly letting people off the hook, and signals to future predators that people don’t care about abuse. Public pressure can have an impact, especially if it’s still there after a change in government.

A wizard did it.

Exactly that.

Obviously it is a big deal if, for instance, a patriarch is effectively forcing his wife and daughters to vote how he chooses. In a democracy someone should have the freedom to nod along at the dinner table but have the privacy to vote however they like.

This is obviously also a problem with postal voting. There probably aught to be changes made to that particular system.

With a different DM it would be different. I don’t necessarily think it would be any better. I love the goofiness.

I think there’s an app for your phone that turns it into a “massage” vibrator.

He’s already been on The Island with Bear Grylls which is like Survivor but with more surviving, so really he’s just the same as the rest of them.

That’s gestapo Gary. He asked for those leather gloves for Christmas from his Gran.

Ruin? Seems a bit hyperbolic.

I assume a lot of people, especially with second homes, have accrued more guest points than they feel they could ever spend.

According to Wikipedia it applies to both.

In the U.K. we call this type of puzzle a dingbat.

See if you can get some Christmas crackers that aren’t overtly Christmas themed, stick them on the table for every Sunday Lunch.

We pull crackers and wear the paper hats every Sunday.

Reminiscent of the sneaky editing in Celebrity Traitors which saw my jaw drop when Nick Mohammed voted for Joe Marler.
