Agreed, but again might be down to voter's misunderstanding. A final preference for the Face-Eaters is logically the same as leaving the final preference blank.

Whitburn by election results showing 2/3 of Labour votes going non-transferable when their candidate get excluded

Pretty sure compulsory full preferencing would have changed the result in Whitburn&Blackburn recently, where a lot of voters seemed to plump for Labour. I think a lot of voters just don't understand the power of later preferences.

I like the cartoons that advise to "shake well before opening".

The Yeovil Pink Floyd aren't too bad actually. If you want a really crap tribute band, try

I got a 5-star hygiene rating for a home-baking business in an open-plan kitchen with two cats in attendance when the inspector visited. If a restaurant charging Β£500 a head can't demonstrate they are managing hygiene risks they deserve to be shut down.

That Jimi Hendrix introduced feral parakeets to the UK by releasing a breeding pair in Camden has been debunked as an urban myth, but maybe he released them instead in Islington?

I think this is why people got fed up with Ordinary Language Philosophy.

The only reason Putin hasn't countered with a threat to annex Finland is that Finland doesn't exist. #conspiracytheory

Or just get a cat that can hypnotise you into thinking it has no psychic powers.

Do you save and re-use the cinnamon stick? It has always seemed to me such a large condiment to only get used in one dish(/toddy).

Although one of the reasons Queen Anne pushed for the Acts of Union in 1707 was that she could see Scotland's potential for renewables that would keep English kettles boiling during periods of peak energy demand #truefact

I've never had a subscription but I think I'm at the point where the free version now has almost no functionality left, while the paid version would just duplicate what I get for free from the Garmin app.

If we can convict Grok for this offence then it will at least be disqualified from jury service.

All those solstitially-aligned stone circles were actually built to demonstrate scientifically that the year was beginning again, to skeptical milk farmers who had "had enough of experts".

Hitler was a vegetarian not because he was a good person motivated by ethical reasons but because it was prescribed by doctors for his poor health. He did disingenuously use the vegetarianism to portray himself as a virtuous person though.
