NHS ambo stretcher monkey. Norn Irish in London. Cynic. Fan of fruits and nuts in savoury dishes. Can also cross my eyes one at a time. Views my own etc.
Just shaking my head sadly at how my local Tesco has effectively cancelled Christmas from the calendar.
(Apart from the two long aisles jam-packed with festive produce. And the Christmas decorations hanging throughout the entire store)

Hopefully the angryheads will be happy to see both the John Lewis and the Waitrose Christmas ads populated almost exclusively with white actors. I gather that it's quite important to them, for some bizarre reason.

Fun fact: Today is the 1 year anniversary of Farage's foreign national girlfriend Ferrari buying his house. With unexplained wealth. That should be investigated...

Unsure whether 'Chapeau' or 'Santé' is the most appropriate response to this...
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.

My very occasional The Glory of N Irish footy series would like to congratulate the Faroese on their remarkable sequence of results.
The Faroe Islands locker room was quite rightly hyped after the territory of just 55,000 people stunned the Czech Republic 2-1 🥳
It’s their third straight World Cup win, arguably the biggest in their history, and leaves the Faroes one point off a World Cup play-off spot. Truly remarkable 🇫🇴

There seems to be some *confusion*
among Reform supporters over Nathan Gill being one of them
“But, but, Reform didn’t exist when he took his Russian bribes”
“But, but he was in UKIP”
“But, but it has nothing to do with Farage, he barely knew the guy”
So here’s a little history lesson 👍🏼🧵
