Not seen Everton win yet at the new stadium. Four games, only one draw. Am I a jinx?
Maybe. But to be fair, the team have been utter pants against the barcodes, Spurs and second half vs West Ham

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

City - Liverpool is a big part of my life & Anathema are one of my favourite bands. Here's their stunning track 'Springfield' (which gives a 2nd city link). Slow, gradual build of tempo to a crescendo 💙

Read an article stating that Bluesky will never have the amount of users that the other place does. As if that’s a bad thing? There’s something to be said about quality over quantity.
They can have their bot-infested dystopia over there, whilst we have tea and scones in front of the fire over here.

Bronze head of Hadrian, from a larger statue. Hollow cast in the round. The pupils of the eyes, probably of glass, are now lost. The head has been roughly hacked from its body. 117-138 AD. Found in the River Thames at London Bridge.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

A is for Azincourt / Agincourt
Two of the metallic outline statues that are dotted around the battlefield of Agincourt in Northern France.
In 1415, it was here that Henry V of England won a crushing victory over a much larger French army

The OBR could not be clearer today. Weak growth is tied to Brexit, which they now expect will leave UK trade 15% smaller in the long term.
