The helpful Scotrail conductor has stopped by and had a word, we may yet make up some time. I’ve been blown away by how welcoming everyone is up here in the Highlands & Orkney, Cal Sleeper, Scotrail & Northlink Ferries. ‘Scottish hospitality’ really IS a thing isn’t it?! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

THINK BIKE - JIMMY HILL (1978): The legendary football pundit presents this PIF from an equally legendary road safety campaign. Features some incredible, neck-crunching stuntwork (the example at the end makes me squirm)

Karlsson was so embarrassed about missing two glaring chances on Sunday that he's fled to Utrecht.

A Relatively painless process unlike the rest of the Ticketmaster experience.

Thanks for all the reposts, much appreciated.

Military use off the table. Now tariffs are off the table.

Appeasement only emboldens the aggressor. Opposition, however, reveals the TACO.

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.

When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

U.S. diplomats asked a French magistrate last year whether she could intervene over Marine Le Pen’s election ban.

The previously unreported details of the meeting will refocus attention on American efforts to back the European far right.
