The universe has its plans for us. We're still here for a reason. Let's live well so Death will tremble to take us. Don't take each day or people for granted. Don't waste your time on idiot people. Live your life to be happy in whatever makes you happy. Wear sunscreen.
Have good days all 🖤

So I've ventured out of bed & it is *so* chilly. So miserable & grey out too.

Children under ten to clean chimneys. Over ten, National Service.
Your challenge for the day is to invent a ReformUK policy. On Shrove Tuesday next year we get to see if they’ve adopted it.
Remember, it should appeal to insane pensioners and absolutely nobody else. QT with yours!

WUTHERING HEIGHTS was absolute trash. If Mario Bava and John Waters wanked the ither off over a Barbara Cartland novel and their magic sperm made the book come to life - that's the film. I FUCKING LOVED IT.

Poor guy. What dreadful luck. Wish him a full recovery & comeback 🙏🏼
Oh boy. Former Gunner Oleksandr Zinchenko is out for the season with an ACL injury at Ajax, requiring surgery that will also see him miss the World Cup this summer. That is so frustrating for him, wish him a full comeback! dailycannon.com/2026/02/arse...
