    Unbelievably misogynist headline in @Telegraph. It’s not revenge, it’s justice and none of those men were taking ‘orders’.

    Look innocent, don’t they? Just heard from the catsitter that while we were away they not only turned on the airfryer but somehow got Alexa to play Radio 4 loudly enough to annoy our next door neighbour

    I know social media can be a terrible hell pit but someone on a local FB group posted on Monday that his parrot Susan had escaped. Today someone posted ‘Has anyone lost this parrot?’ and everyone was replying ‘It’s Susan!’ Now she’s home and you’ve never seen a happier FB group

    Boycotting Afghanistan in sports won’t make the Taliban think again. But it would show Afghan women that the world sees what’s happening to them and cares. That alone is enough reason to do it.

    Replying to @comedylopez
    Once saw a girl respond to ticket request by brandishing a bible and saying ‘This is my ticket. This is my ticket to heaven.’ Guard, without missing a beat, said ‘That’s not much help, Madam, this train’s going to Hastings.’

    I would really love it if the big IT outage thing turned out to be caused by a group of cyberwarrior pensioners who learned hacking from the Monday afternoon group at the library and are sick of seeing the local bank branches and Post Offices close down
