Autumn is here.
Bugger, I thought I'd read 6.30 for the first one. I have a cold. CxXx
On your second one yet? CxXx
We already have a legal obligation to hire only those who are eligible to work. Identity numbers will not replace anything, adding a further burden to honest business. Black markets will not be hindered. Huge additional amounts of taxpayers' money will flow to profits of unaccountable IT. CxXx
Did you clear them out for a 1500m work extravaganza with wine and cheese? CxXx
The βproblemβ with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
All the dull parts of Westworld and Blade Runner rolled into a slow xenomorph-light Alien franchise. Give us the clostrophobia of Alien or the shoot-em up fun of Aliens. CxXx
Me too. It's proving very formulaic. CxXx
All part of the Vegan Selection! CxXx
Well this is Awesome π π Outrageous that it's necessary, but good on these guys.

Image Edgar Allen Poe sits with his head in his hands, his sad face lit by the glow of a laptop. On his desk are piles of books, a guttering candle and a bust. Atop the bust sits a raven who is animatedly talking to Poe. Caption The Raven, having seen the general state of the world, realised that quothing "Nevermore." was only going to add to the gloom, and instead tried to cheer things up with a few bawdy limericks and an amusing anecdote about two badgers and a turnip.
A cartoon for @theguardian.com books.
A splendid selection! I have a fondness for Mount Gay because...... it was the first rum distillery I ever visited, when in Barbados for a spot of cricket. CxXx
Meme. Photograph of the sculpture "Eel Walker" by Mark Newma, showing naked woman walking an large eel on a leash. The eel -- a massive moray-looking thing -- is floating along off the ground, so we can assume that they are walking through a stream, or on the bottom of the ocean, or through space. OR that it's a magical eel, and it just flies. The eel is fierce and terrible, and probably is expensive to feed. The woman is done in a golden bronze color. Her hair is floating backwards, suggesting that there is a breeze or an ocean current catching it. I've cleverly (or obnoxiously) written the meme text over her breasts. Sorry, folks; she saving those for the eel. She is muscled and powerful, and the way her left foot is places in front of makes her seem more like a dancer than a walker. She looks like the goddess of eels, taking one of her minions out to gnaw into the dreams of unbelievers and scientists. Meme text reads: "Let's talk eel sex, baby"
It's Valentine's Day, so let's talk about sex.
Eel sex!
Well...we can't, really.
We don't know exactly where, or how, eels get busy. It's a 2000+ year old puzzle. It's not like we haven't tried. But the sex life of eels is a mystery smothered in secret sauce. 1/5

But at what point do you stub out your Gauloises and remove your beret on returning to Blighty? CxXx
A black and white photo of two young boys. One is covered in the tell-tale pustules of smallpox while the other boy is not. This photo is courtesy of the Dr. Jenner House Museum.
Photo of two boys - one vaccinated against smallpox, the other not - published in 1901 by Dr. Allan Warner.
Smallpox killed over half a billion people in the 20th century alone. On 8 May 1980, the WHO announced its eradication, which was achieved through #vaccines, surveillance, and containment.
A flick and a kick for being so quick. CxXx
