Black-and-white comic-style drawing. A woman gestures toward an empty shelf and says, “this is where I keep all the tangible benefits of leaving the EU.” Two seated figures look on. The shelf is completely bare, underscoring the sarcastic message that Brexit brought no visible gains.

@apzpins haha no they’re legit! I love Crocs but haven’t owned a pair for years, I was waiting for a crossover I liked and this came along so I had to!

The same designer has an awesome Tetris double knit scar and it looks like she’s using the same yarn as I am and now I gotta me this too. For myself though.

Reader! The plot thickens!!

And I’m currently in the middle of making the USS Voyager 😅😅😅

Guess I shall have to make the DS9 station, just to balance it out for him.

An update:

As suggested by @consumablejoy, I asked my friend if he liked DS9. This was his reply.

So I’m guessing I’ll just stop after the voyager logo 😅

Yo dude, totally random question: Deep Space Nine, yay or nay? Had it's moments. I liked the Dr Bashir character played by a British actor, and they had some good arcs from about S3 on. S1 and S2 were a slow start. So, yay. I guess. My 5th favourite star trek TV show?

I’ve reached the stage now where my wife, friends, and work colleagues are saying I need to stop losing weight.

This happened to me when I did Atkins 20 years ago (!!!), I melted and was told the same. So I stopped and put it all back on again.

I was going to target 75kg (for a healthy BMI) […]
