Irish coins of different sizes, showing a horse, salmon, bull, hare, hound, hen, pig and woodcock

Congratulations! 10% off is a good deal. Perhaps for my little Broken Sleep title? robertsheppard.blogspot.com/2025/10/my-n.... Or for dozens of others.
It appears they have all caught the clap.
βRibbit!β
They talk about the vowel shift, but nobody mentions the meal shift.

This is clearly fine with the GOP.
Whoβs this new Fast Show character? Heβs brilliant.
A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says βtheyβre having problems with their economy again.β

Disgusting. Possibly even more cynical than my own institution which uses a subsidiary of all new staff to avoid paying a decent pension (I suspect theyβll try to do it to us all soon). The effect has been to deter all mid-career applicants but desperate young people and hourly-paid still come.
I really donβt think heβd be carbon neutral, tbh.
