We were out celebrating our daughter’s 21st last night and I was so over-stimulated and -tired when we got home that I couldn’t sleep properly. It’s probably a mistake, therefore, to watch #Strictly on catch up #SobbingAtEverything

I am proof... living, breathing proof... of what happens when a country offers refuge with a future attached.
Britain gave me a chance, and I have spent my life giving back.

Aw, don’t let Gail cry.
This is true.
The husband just found me having a little cry in my studio.
He’s making me a hot Vimto and I’m having a word with myself.
Have a look at my website and please repost.

Looking at some old family pics and wonder if anyone can identify these locations? Is that a Mersey ferry? Is the other one on the docks? I’d say probably 1950s? #Liverpool

James Dyson owns more UK land than the actual KING. But he pays an effective tax rate of LESS THAN 1%* on his total wealth.
Here’s a novel idea @keirstarmer: to fund schools and hospitals, TAX THE BILLIONAIRES.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Sky News just had Kelvin Mackenzie on, former editor of The Sun, one of the people at the centre of probably the most disgraceful front page in newspaper history, complaining about BBC journalists not being objective and 'fake news'. Astonishing. ~AA

This sums up Zigi perfectly – bold, curious and a bit of a showboat. As Umani’s youngest grandcalf, he has no shortage of nannies. His mother, Zongoloni is one of our success stories. Rescued after poachers killed her mother, we raised her until she was ready to return to the wild: swt.bio/zongoloni

Some Heroes Don't Wear Capes. This past week the crew from A Safe Haven planted almost 140,000 bulbs along Chicago's Michigan Avenue. One of my favorite moments is hearing people driving by and saying "thank you" to workers. We'll see the results of their work in 6 months!
