@Dbwagner104 Pobrecita chanacleta!

Sandal isn't allowed to go under the bed. there's no reason for him to be down there. we have it blocked off. but all he thinks about is going under the bed. so all i think about is stopping him. he will figure it out. he will get under the bed. and so the dance continues.

@CaoimhinMacEoc2 @BBCNews I can only presume that they'd have to pay the higher contract price for a whole year, not just the duration of the 21 matches. And they couldn't justify paying the higher amount for the other 10 months.

Pub has to cancel bookings over cost of showing live rugby bbc.in/3ClBS6Q

@OrangeTreeThtr @spektrix I perservered because I wanted to go, but I was very tempted to give up and forget about bothering to book at all.

@OrangeTreeThtr @spektrix When you go to enter all your details (name, address, accessibility, payment), after filling in each section and clicking continue to move to the next, it constantly jumps back to the top of the page so you have to scroll down to the next section every time. Poor user experience.

It's been a while since I booked to see anything at @OrangeTreeThtr (went regularly while I was working in an office in Richmond). I had forgotten how truly terrible their online box office software is when using on a smartphone. @spektrix why is your UX design so utterly awful?

Donald Trump was elected by Americans to defend the interests of Americans. The question we, as Europeans, must ask ourselves is, are we ready to defend the interests of Europeans?

Think we could all do with a smile and this is wonderful.

@scousepie I hope they play Fame. "Remember, remember, remember..."

Much respect ar fallen very quiet dignity

The year is 2068. Trump, Covid and Love Island are distant memories. The world is bafflingly different to how it is now. There is still a poster telling you how to wash your hands next to every sink in every office bathroom.

@CharlieEdmunds As a side note, my theatre puts on shows but also runs daytime activities for the elderly. Including a bridge club. Accidentally got talking to one of them who said "never been fond of the theatre". I smiled politely, but was internally screaming "WELL FUCK YOU TOO SUE GOGGINS".

@CharlieEdmunds OMFG dying - top work Jonty!

@CharlieEdmunds I full expect that "oh it's worse than that sir... he's American!" and "So that's it? That's the moral? So long as you're in charge you can do whatever you want? YES IT IS!" got an extra little murmur tonight!

@StuartS200 @jonsopel @Nigel_Farage The unholy ratio.

@gailebishop @jonsopel @Nigel_Farage 52:48?

Fascinating comments from ⁦@Nigel_Farage⁩ - does this mean he thinks it’s over for Donald Trump?

@Dr_DeanS Remember that California (typically 🔷️) will be one of the last to close and has 54 electoral college votes. We'll know more in a few hours, but it's not doing much for the ol' cortisol levels right now!

Watching the US election results and already finding this problematic.

@lewis_goodall @TheNewsAgents Just listened to your Florida special report. Jaw smashed to smithereens from constantly hitting the floor. Utterly insane that this is happening.

Election @TheNewsAgents is on the road. First stop Miami 🇺🇸

@CuriousZelda Oh Matt, so sorry to hear this. Thank you so much for sharing so much of Zelda with the internet. She's been an endless source of amusement to me and my cat-loving friends. We all know how gut wrenchingly hard it is to say goodbye, even when it's the kindest thing to do. 🖤🤍

This is the post I never wanted to write. I’m sad beyond words to tell you that Zelda has passed away. Her health took a downward turn earlier this year, and we made the hardest, kindest decision. In our final moments together, I held Zelda in my arms at home, and she drifted away peacefully into her deepest nap. I’ve been quiet, and I’m so sorry. Zelda’s passing hit me immeasurably hard - she meant the world to me. Our paths crossed in 2014 when I adopted her from the Mayhew rescue shelter. I had recently moved to my first place, distant from family and friends. I felt lonely, and I guess Zelda was too. She spent most of her time hiding under the sofa, observing me with her unblinking stare, spooking at the slightest noise or movement. At times I found it hard to imagine a happy future together, but she didn’t give up on me. She was coaching me to become the patient, gentle and kind person I strive to be today. One day, weeks later, she took the bravest leap and tentatively climbed onto my lap. Earning her trust felt magical. Being her roommate made my flat feel like a home, and we became inseparable. Zelda was with me through so much, from moving in with my partner to getting married, moving home three times more, and twice becoming a father. She was a constant source of joy, laughter, and love for our family - and I feel so privileged to have been able to share some of her antics with you. Grief affects us all in different ways, but it has been a huge comfort to me knowing how much you care. I feel I owe so much to you all for supporting me over the years with all your kind comments, poems, buying the book, making memes, fan art, and more. Thank you, from the bottom of my broken heart. Part of the healing process has taken me through a mountain of old photos and videos of Zelda, and there’s so much that I didn’t get to share. I didn’t get to tell you just how much we adored her, nor how happy a life she had with us. Beneath her online persona, I’m so proud that she evolved from that perpetually startled homebody to the most affectionate, trusting and curious adventurer. Included in this post is a small snapshot of some everyday moments I spent with Zelda. In the coming weeks, I’ll share more. After all, I’ve missed you so much. Zelda, thank you for choosing me that day in the shelter. Thank you for trusting me. Sorry for constantly waving a camera in your face. You’re beautiful inside and out, and I’ll love you forever. - Matt

@silverpebble OMG need to buy this yarn immediately!

Younger daughter started crocheting again recently & has made me an emotional support sting ray (called Woffle). She’s also made herself a cuddly ammonite (she’s doing Geology A Level 🐚🤎). Yarn is Malabrigo Mecha in Arapey 875-so soft.
