@alfiemoore Yup, I'd defo have gone the same way, although sticky toffee pudding is also pretty gross so would have sat not eating.

@volcaholic1 'A fed bear is a dead bear', water has the same outcome. The conflict presents risks way beyond those acceptable to human urban life, when they continually return. It can be argued we are in their territory but they will be euthanasied sometime soon if this continues.

This is in Monterrey, Mexico where residents have been leaving water for these little ones and Mum. Is it true that it's a bad idea because they will keep coming back when they are adults?

@andy4makerfield He would appear to be doing this to feed his own ego, even if that means disrupting the current progress of the government.

Andy’s focus is simple: make life more affordable, bring investment back to communities like Makerfield, and reconnect Labour with its roots. He’s in it for us.

@I_amMukhtar I don't think you were alone. In my city, all the cheering that echo'd up from downtown gave the impression they were supporting PSG.

I hope PSG wins. Arsenal fans, including my own brother, are unbearable.

@MadelnCanada That Rome to a long way outta London fare will more than double for a small cabin bag, something free on AC or others with the right credit card - not a perk available in Europe. You will get a 17" wide, 28" or less pitch seat and no recline. Cheaper but far from the same.

Europeans: I just paid 50 euros to fly from London to Rome. Canadians: I just paid $500 dollars to fly from Vancouver to Montreal.

@k881mark @RAF_Luton I read that as Super-Mario and briefly thought you'd identified it correctly. My mistake.

@SimonHarrisMBD Many replying here seem to have little experience of caring for autistic people. Boarding an aircraft is often stressful due to crowding so it is important to get them seated & feeling safe. To induced a fear that they've been abandoned by a parent, sibling or uncle is cruel.

A quote from The Mirror about long queues at Birmingham Airport: “Flagrant abuse of assisted lane with sunflower lanyards, multiple large family groups trailing through behind one child sporting the lanyard.” What the f**k do you want parents of autistic children to do? “OK Michael. You head through that queue and we’ll all see you on the other side later. I know you’re only seven years old and there are two thousand other people in the terminal but you’ll be fine.”

@stkittsguy007 @travisakers I was in YVR for the Rugby 7s in Feb'25. Stayed in the hotel outside BC Place with Frankies on the ground floor. The room price was obscene & I gave up trying to make sense of all the lines of taxes. I'd hate to pay World Cup prices. ... but no ICE and a true party atmosphere.

FIFA officials are becoming increasingly worried about World Cup attendance due to hotel cancellations, as international fans are deciding against traveling to the U.S. for the tournament, citing Donald Trump, high costs, visa bonds, and security concerns as their deterrents.

Concorde burned nearly 50% of its total fuel load between pushback & reaching Mach 2 Afterburners were used for takeoff and transonic acceleration, consuming about 32.5 liters per second. Once established at cruise, fuel flow dropped to 25,629 litres per hour (as quoted by BA in their historical review of Concorde operations). Could modern Rolls-Royce engineers do better today?
