It's about time these stories weren't accompanied by an image of someone frolicking in the water or eating an ice cream.

Consequently I never see the actual ad
I like to spend a lot of my time trying to find the little X that closes a pop-up ad

If you cared about the Russian people you'd oppose Putin. If you cared about the Israeli people you'd oppose their current leaders. A friend is someone who stops you behaving stupidly.

Christmas is OK. It's the month before that is just awful. Best thing if you can is to spend that period relaxing in a non Christian country

So if it's a trade choice between:

a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and

b) European food, beer & wine...

...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

Every woman you know has taken a longer route.
Has doubled back on herself.
Has pretended to dawdle by a shop window.
Has held her keys in her hand.
Has made a fake phone call.
Has rounded a corner and run.
Every woman you know has walked home scared.
Every woman you know.

There's been no fighting in Korea for 71 years because both sides are heavily armed.
If Palestine and Lebanon were heavily armed, there would be peace and security for all.

I've just come to bluesky. It seems much nicer than the other place. Maybe too many pictures of sunsets.
