@midge_michi It's a damn shame you couldn't migrate from Scotland in a dinghy 🤦‍♀️

@minimooey Chicken, mushroom, carrots, mixed peppers & peas all occupying my slow cooker Crusty bread waiting in the wings to accompany it 👌

I've got the makings of a nice lasagne in the slow cooker, smells lovely so time to bring it all together and hopefully make it resemble one. Will have with some salad later.

@forwardnotback @Tilly_TeaCup Chocolate & Pear pudding with custard sounds lovely

“When measured in real terms, after Brexit total exports rose by more than 23 percent, from £735 billion in 2015 to £905 billion in 2025.” Post-Brexit, Britain is not only doing more trade, but diversification thereof means we’re less reliant on the EU. thecritic.co.uk/brexit-was-not…

@minimooey Excellent news! Just need your knees, hips, back etc to start working properly & you'll be happy as ....... 😂😂

You'll be relieved to hear my CT Scan I had over 10 weeks ago is all clear! As you were. The nodule on my lung hasn't changed in nearly 3 years.

@justaphag6 In my opinion one of the easiest fixes to the gerontocracy is to just make it so everyone receives the same benefit. Want to make transport free? Must do it for everyone. Want to subsidise prescriptions? Everyone must be able to benefit

@midge_michi Isn't modern technology marvellous😂😂

President Trump celebrates Jesus and praises Christianity will Easter message. Meanwhile in the UK, King Charles will not release an Easter message- despite being the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and ‘Defender of the Faith.’

@AllisonPearson This is a man of vision...

@midge_michi I remember our careers adviser took us to a sewing factory & the Prescription Pricing Bureau both in Newcastle at the time Then advised us study long & hard to avoid having to do such boring work! It worked 😂😂

If you remove pork from cafeterias, you’re not being respectful, you’re letting yourself be conquered. If you stop having or walking dogs, you’re not being respectful, you’re letting yourselves be conquered. If you let people block traffic and impact transit to pray, you’re not being respectful, you’re being conquered. When you let people new to your country break your laws, and you go light on them, you’re not being respectful, you’re being conquered. Respectful is acknowledging people’s right to eat the foods they want and practice the religion they choose and follow the traditions they want without hate or discrimination. Forcing every one else in your society to change to accommodate their demands? Thats being conquered. Our societies need to stop allowing themselves to be conquered. While they’re still able to stop it.

@SereneSquirrel @taylor_andrewj Dear God! £1.91 is just mental money

@taylor_andrewj @JulesT737 I've just heard a tanker filled the Esso in saint andrews and it's £1.91 for diesel

Out of interest, how is everyone else in UK's petrol and diesel situation? We've several stations with none for days now (Fife)

You claim any "new" gas or oil has already been sold and we have to buy it back at global prices. That's not accurate for projects like the Jackdaw gas field. The oil and gas resources in the UK North Sea are owned by the Crown. What gets sold are licences that give companies the exclusive right to explore, develop and produce in specific blocks. For Jackdaw, this is new production in British waters developed under such a licence and piped directly into the UK's national transmission system. It adds to domestic supply and helps reduce reliance on imports rather than forcing us to repurchase pre-sold foreign cargo on the spot market. Domestic North Sea gas does improve energy security. It means less dependence on LNG tankers from places like Qatar or the US, which can be diverted during global price spikes or shipping disruptions caused by geopolitics. While prices are influenced by international markets, having more local volume and direct pipeline control adds real resilience to the system. The idea that "oil has paid politicians" for a sales pitch is a common unsubstantiated claim with no evidence here. Ed Miliband has long been a strong green advocate, and approving this appears driven by practical energy needs and security pressures rather than anything else. Finally, saying renewables only need hardware investment because "resources are free forever" oversimplifies things. Sun and wind are free when they blow or shine, but the turbines, panels and batteries wear out after 15-30 years and require expensive replacement. Intermittency demands massive storage, overbuilding capacity, grid upgrades, and reliable backup generation for calm or cloudy periods. Plus the raw materials like rare earths, lithium and copper come with their own mining, environmental and supply-chain challenges, often dominated by other countries.

Fuckin typical innit. Happy Bank Holiday.

@midge_michi I'm delighted to report I had 2 blue-tits at my feeder this morning for the 2nd day running 😊👍
