I’m so sorry, it’s gut-punchingly tough losing a dog, I wasn’t sure I’d ever get over our last boy who died of sepsis within 36 hours. But then eventually another wee lad comes along custom made to heal your heart. Little Marley is a lifesaver!

Thank you ❤️ We lost Elsa unexpectedly the day after the Queen died. Can’t tell you how much we appreciated the mood of national mourning, absolutely howled our way through the funeral. Very therapeutic!

We live in the wilds of the West Wight, there are no takeaways! Probably have to be something like picking up dog poo duties for a week!

No idea, wish they’d been that shite against us! Incidentally as a wee small girl I flirted with being a Leeds fan just to piss off my Chelsea supporting Dad. The era of Bremner, Clarke and Norman bites yer legs Hunter. Good times!

Also a British joke about a German astronaut staking first claim on any available space loungers but agree we Europeans have to put aside any petty cultural beefs and pull together!

Obvious how little respect the military have for Trump by the shambolic parade in his birthday. Out of step and clearly bored, plus that one guy walking along physically holding a drone aloft…epic trolling!

He’s actually posting about ungrateful Ukrainians… 🤬How Zelenskyy copes with this shit is beyond me. 100x the man Trump and his henchmen could ever be.

What the hell does Putin have on him?? Could it be as simple as election interference was done with Trump’s full knowledge if not at his request. Might explain how he couldn’t believe it didn’t work in 2020!

I have a black friend who has been on death row in Ohio since 1997. It’s been discovered that the prosecution used witness coercion and suppressed evidence but he’s still there because to address his case would “open the floodgates”.

I just got the impression that Ronaldo stopped enjoying football. Who knows what other pressures are weighing on such extraordinary young players? You’re probably across it but strongly recommend The Rest is Politics interview with Gareth Southgate. Lovely guy with a lot to say.

Yes absolutely! Went round at least five players, jaw dropping skill. So upsetting that he mysteriously didn’t perform in the final but he was a stunning player.

Agreed. A shame though that in general Scottish and Welsh fans seem to routinely support whoever we are playing whilst I think English fans by and large support Wales and Scotland. Ronaldo was pretty special though wasn’t he?!
