Pretty sure that Fucking Pancake Day is a bit more niche.

So I remember the port-side lamp is red.

That "no" just adds an element of doubt though ๐Ÿ˜‚

That's how I remember it too. And that port (the drink) is red.

Isn't it just as easy to remember that port and left have the same number of letters? Oh, and that a glass of port is red.

See also: people quoting "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few (or the one)" to justify inflicting negative consequences on a minority.
This argument is about people choosing to make a sacrifice.
It's only valid *if you are one of the few* (or the one) making that choice.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

Clearly never listened to Desert Island Discs, or virtually any comedy show on R4.

Morrison Hotel is an underrated gem.

Used to pass this shop on my way to Gosh Comics (in its old place). Was always fascinated by it but always too intimidated to go in. Looks amazing.

It is really a low water mark to be at war with the one of the worst regimes on Earth and manage to come away as the callous and undignified party.

It implies that the people responsible for upholding your Constitution actually don't give a shit about it, and are more concerned with ensuring the supremacy of white Christian nationalism.

In the Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon game, I'm only 3 steps from him.

If you're not going to read them why are you doing this? They're not going to be worth anything and they're just taking up room.
What possible joy are you getting from it?

They reunited for The Absolutely Radio Show on Radio 4 a few years ago. It was still brilliant, but sadly not available on BBC Sounds any more ๐Ÿฅบ

There are definitely shades of the great man in there. Lovely bit of work by Mark Sexton.

That'll just buff out.

Just try different amounts and see which you prefer. It's not like whisky is a limited resource; if you don't get it right the first time then try it again.

Both have their place. But you're still 100% correct.

If she was cold then her side of the blanket wasn't on. How could he turn his controller (her side) down?
And each controller plugs directly into each side of the blanket. If you change controllers round they'll still work whichever side they're plugged into.
And that's not how you spell "swapped".

That's exactly the result Hegseth was looking for.
