British military rations from WW2

Between this and the absolute freak that said he'd just get AI to tell his bairn a bedtime story it's clear that the promoters of this shite are every bit as lacking humanity as their product always will be

Lovely Sagal👍 - a much better choice than awful, disingenuous & un-proven Polanski idiot who never answers a straight question & didn’t even pay his council tax👎

Welcome to the #Uncanny Halloween Countdown 2026! A new mini-Uncanny case every day till #Halloween! 🎃 This is an eerie one! Are you feeling #TeamSceptic or #TeamBeliever? See you tomorrow for another nugget of nightmare fuel! Uncanny Halloween Countdown | Listen on BBC Sounds & watch on YouTube

Watching this & I cannot have more disgust or visceral hatred for those nonce-bonnet clad cunts calling these extraordinarily brave, everyday people traitors. Quite incredible voluntary bravery demonstrating the best of Britain. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Before & after. This porch is one I finished today. Finished in Sikkens XD Gloss. My go-to for all exterior woodwork. Gutter & fascia finished in soft sheen black. I also restored the door furniture to finish it all off. Step was stripped back & finished in Sadolin Exta wood stain.

I wanted to help my client to improve the appearance of their exterior light & was happy to do as a gesture. A simple removal of the glass, cleaned & polished. And I then prepped & painted the light using Beddec MSP paint in soft sheen. Restore, don’t replace.

A tumbleweed is rolling through my online shop today. I create colourful prints, cards, homewares and T-shirts inspired by architecture, music and mid-century design. Please have a look at my shop and repost to help spread the word. Thanks! gailmyerscough.co.uk

Ryan Lavelle, Professor in Early Medieval History @uniwinchester.bsky.social, is on a recent episode of Echoes of History, the official Assassin's Creed history podcast, discussing the Battle of Chippenham as represented in Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Find it here www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4Rb...

Minimum wage workers are the most worthy of praise. If you tolerate your £40/hr job that sucks because you're scared of capitalism killing you, that's one thing. Earning the bare minimum the system allows because it hates you & not going postal is a level of forbearence Jesus would struggle with.

It's not about The Dignity Of Work. Unless you're very lucky, work is usually at best boring & at worst demeaning, painful & humiliating. If you've set up a system that says "You'd better work all day or you'll suffer destitution" & full-time workers are still destitute, the system is the problem.

Predatory landlords, unregulated energy/water companies, no public transport infrastructure, union-busting wage suppression. Get angry about that first before you ask why somebody working a full week still needs benefits. Or do the ruling class job for them rather than punching up. Your call.

The snobbishness about this comes in part from the fact you can no longer pay all your bills doing a minimum wage job. If you work 35hrs a week you should be able to pay rent, pay utilities, buy food & have a little left over for a few beers on a Friday. This never used to be a controversial view.

Dear the people of France and Germany Please PLEASE learn the lesson from us in the UK. We narrowly followed the path of a foreign funded right wing grifter in 2016 and the UK had a whole decade of division and decline Do not do this to your countries. Do not learn the hard way

Found some lovely posters of my home town on Etsy. You know, with the sea front facing the wrong way and featuring that lighthouse we don’t have, and the local pubs the Ope and Howebts. (Biographical note: we used to go drinking in Howebts when I was a teenager. Fun times!)

Glad that somebody has been caught for her murder, but I will never be sad that somebody with so much bigotry and intolerance is no longer around to poison society. Some pratting around on TV did nothing to change the fact that her views were medieval and disgusting.

Wowsers. This is a must see.

Well done to England’s soccer ball players! I thought it was a great innings and was cheering right through to the final set, along with all the other down to earth ordinary working people which is definitely what I am too, mate.
