Prince Andrew being arrested for giving away state secrets but not arrested for being a pedophile should tell you everything you need to know about Britain.

Can't, I have a note from my mum.
Can’t, I’ve written I DO NOT LIKE MY WORK on a pink official form.
Can't, I've found myself in a dark wood, for I have strayed from the straight pathway to this tangled ground.

Not our first date, but for our first trip to the cinema I took Mrs C. to see "Pulp Fiction". She thought it was hilarious, especially the scene where Mia is given the adrenaline injection. (That's nurses for you.)
This is an unapologetically sappy feel-good subject (at least, I guess, for people in a happy relationship”). So, to prepare for Valentine’s Day, what did you and your partner do for a first date?
My wife and I went to tea at Huntington Gardens and walked around.

On our first date, my spouse and I spent like an hour talking about footnotes.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?
Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

What’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: "The Siege and Investiture of Baron von Frankenstein's Castle at Weisseria" -- Blue Oyster Cult
Alternate: "Thankfully, Not Living In Yorkshire It Doesn't Apply" -- Dexy's Midnight Runners

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

I heard there was a Cohen song
And all the gentiles got it wrong
But you don’t really know the lyrics do ya?
Cause mostly it’s about getting laid
And sex and love and Jewish faith
But all the Christians heard was “Hallelujah”

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Fuck this garbage. Think of all the talented artists in Glasgow who you could have chosen from to get a payday from this gig instead of the money being handed over to a slop merchant.
NEW: Glasgow City Council has just approved a massive AI-generated mural to be painted in the city centre.
The illustration of Scottish elements inexplicably contains a bald eagle.
The planner says those upset about it are "keyboard warriors" who should "calm down"

The Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. Giving him a royal visit right now sends a terrible message that his behaviour is acceptable. We can stop this if enough of us speak up. Will you add your name to the petition? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...
