Husband, father and dentist. Cooking, music, reading, science and pubs keep me happy. I live by the sea. GC, TWAM, sod pronouns and, no, that’s not my birthday.
Indeed. The death of a forty-a-day smoker who has had two previous heart attacks must be the result of the COVID vaccines.

You didn’t look very hard, David.
Rescued owl was 'too fat to fly'.
His plumage was also too damp for him to mate.
He was too wet to woo.

Have you seen the full transcript of his rant? I read it for the first time only last year. It is genuinely horrifying. Even by the standards of the time it is vile stuff.
The sound of lots and lots of ladies and a good few chaps doing flappy hands and breathing heavily echoes across Twitter. I don't know if Sir Patrick is old enough to invoke the

Not a Versace photoshoot, this is 102 years ago - on Saturday 3rd March 1918. The Great War rages & photographer Paul Castlenau travelled to what became Jordan to take this autochrome of Fayz Bey el Azm (companion of Emir Fayçal) which I've Babelised for you. It is not colourised
Gold doesn’t dissolve in sulphuric acid unless an oxidising agent such as nitric acid is also present. The dissolved gold precipitates out when water is added.
This is the sort of brainless shit I would expect from Bitcoin grifters.

The man is a warden in an orangutan rescue facility who was in the water clearing snakes. The ape is only semi-wild and was more likely asking for food.

Laura Kenny is a brilliant summariser.
TBH the BBC coverage is much better with all the girls as presenters and experts. Beth Tweddle, Laura, Jess Ennis-Hill, Denise Lewis, Becky Adlington et al all come over so well. And obviously are proper experts.

You didn’t say using story time. You said “Since there hasn’t been a single instance I can find of drag queens grooming children for sex”.
Except the car’s not right-hand drive. And the parked cars are pointing the wrong way. And the graffiti’s in the wrong language. And there’s no paving like that in London.

This is a “lake overturn”. The eruption of Nyiragongo volcano 20 miles away has triggered the release of trapped methane which is burning at the surface. This video does not show a volcanic eruption.

Matthew Parris has made no secret of his detestation of Boris and, as such, when he decides to put the shoe in, he does it with some force. This is a great column.

Much as I admire the sentiment, this is a picture from 2013. The coffins contain the bodies of immigrants killed in a shipwreck off Lampedusa.

Went to the Christmas Ball at HMS Nelson in Portsmouth on Saturday. Some wag has put a model of an F35 at the bottom of the fishtank in reception. (Being that the real one has been recovered, shouldn't they have taken it out by now?)

I love Charles Pears’ work. Have a look at some of his stuff.
I said this Tweet was bollocks at the time. And two and a bit weeks on from it, we can see what bollocks it was. Case numbers have dropped 40% in a week. A record, and backed by ONS data. When will this pompous, ill-informed, pessimistic, pearl-clutching windbaggery cease?

That’s right, Mark. Tell the uppity women what they should be doing and thinking. Put them back in their box. Where they should be because it really is all about the men and their privileges, isn’t it?
One of the advantages of having a fish market just down the road. A spanking fresh 1kg Dover sole. For a tenner. How much would this cost in London

The maintenance of the sub fleet is getting a righteous kick up the arse. The supremely competent Jeremy Bailey has been put in charge of sub engineering and he is apparently rattling a lot of cages to very good effect.

It’s his job, sweetie. Objective facts contradicting your ideology isn’t a reason to get upset. It’s a reason to learn how and why you’re wrong. But you won’t. Because you’re a blinded zealot.
My mate Andy the shipping lawyer is involved with this. Absolute shitshow by all accounts. And going to be a fucking massive case because of the number of ships involved. When big cargoes get delayed in fluctuating markets, it gets legal.
