The weather's crap so come down to the Store and have a proper laugh.
Joshua can't half sing so when he and Ruth get going on an improv song, with Yshani on the old joanna, it'll blow your socks off.

Clement Freud. We used to listen to old Just a Minute and our favourite quips entered our everyday vocabulary. He destroyed those little girIs' childhood, and just to add insult to injury, he ruined something I loved. I will kick his ass in hell.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

BBC describing Rehan Ahmed as a 'pinch-opener'. Is this because they've realised 'pinch-hitter' sounds like someone who's eaten pins?

The initial letter of support from the US on the founding of the WHO pointed out that infectious diseases know no borders. I wonder what has changed.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.
