You've just died.
The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I really don't like making comments about appearances, but the Guardian (front page) even managed to get a photo with a similar smug half-smile.

That is a good tree.

Here is one back.

Apple cake. Triggeringly asymmetric as it was too warm and squidgy to move any more.

Did not have "Robert Jenrick deconstructing ventriloquism" on my bingo card for the autumn but here we are.

Thank you. And you're welcome, if it's any use.

Been playing since the original one - Civ 2 was the height of my (and my wife's) interest, though I go through phases. Not touched 7 yet - is that what you're playing?

Two minutes hate.

Is there any group the regime wants the proles to hate these days?

Bought in a rush, all innocently. Buy in haste, remorse at leisure.

This was me #BAAL2025. Excited to be speaking for the first time at an academic conference at this level.

Seven flats being sold? Signing off a change to avoid a tax deadline? Telling people how much they can overcharge the government for PPE? Being paid to teach companies how to take money from the country?

Somewhat different kettle of fish né?

Incidentally, if you want a real peach of a webcomic about storms, have this one. It's from XKCD (of course) xkcd.com/1126/
