Baby Edgar & baby Oisín for you, in case you missed them. I fell for Edgar's ferocious glare & Oisín's "well, that's another fine mess you've gotten me into" face right away.

Federal immigration agents were confronted in Oak Park on Saturday morning by residents blowing whistles as local Girl Scouts collect food for local pantries, rattling some girls and their parents.

314/422 Baker Street: Metropolitan/Circle/Bakerloo/Jubilee/Ham&City Line. The Metropolitan is next to Madame Tussauds. Once saw Eastender Dean Gaffney there and thought the standard had dropped until he moved and I realised he was a customer. Half cider = £2.18 Rating 2/5 METROPOLITAN LINE COMPLETE!

Any attention is good attention. Strong feelings like hatred are better than being ignored or thought a pathetic loser who lucked into billions. Deep down, I bet he knows the only difference between him & incels is a massive cash cushion
this is where I make my periodic confession that when Elon was very good at masking, we cracked jokes with him about him being a Bond villain and he claimed to like 60s office furniture and asked if he should get the cat; also, at this point I think he would *enjoy* being portrayed as the villain
Elon as Blofeld, with one of his many kids in his lap instead of a white cat.

There's no better feeling than hearing your pets laughing and chatting to you. Every rat keeper should have a bat detector.
🐀Male and female rats like to be tickled differently - males prefer rougher play.
🤣How do we know? Rats produce ultrasonic giggles that can be monitored with a bat detector.
🧪Why is this relevant? To improve lab animal welfare.
Ah, to tickle rats for a living...♥️

Oisín was waiting on top of the gate when I got home & had a lot to say...loudly. once we got inside he marched to the crate, stuck his head in, came back out & said "ack!"
Apparently Layla's been sniffing Edgar's favourite spot at the top of the stairs at mum & dad's. Meanwhile, Edgar would still like to know why I let a dog drool on their crate blankie

Just saw a police car go the wrong way on a one way, then come back down the right way & then another car suddenly shoots up the road the wrong way & now another police car has just discovered bollards for the first time. Think the small blue car's been a naughty boy

Next step done! It was a bit tricky to cut but much easier to smooth down than expected. The lid will be harder because I'll have to pattern match

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
