A mourning nation weep and wails
But keeps the sales
Of evil tabloids healthy.
The poor protect the wealthy in this world
Sadly still as apt now as it was back in 1998.

Disappointing turnout by the smaller birds today for the #BigGardenBirdwatch. Usually there's loads but the big birds came & scared them off. So today's count was 5 Wood Pigeons, 3 Magpies, 2 Jackdaws, 1 Blue Tit, 4 Coal Tits, 1 robin, 2 grey squirrels and 1 black/white cat! Will try again tomorrow.

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.
