Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

I went to the gym this morning for my spin class. I was wearing newly washed leggings and wondered what the rumple was down the back of my leg, only to find a clean pair of knickers! I had to hide them in my shoe πŸ˜‚

The words β€œNever, has so much, been owed be so many, to so few” have been etched on my memory since I visited the Imperial War Museum at a young age.

Yesterday John β€œPaddy” Hemingway DFC passed away at the age of 105.

He was the last of β€œthe few”.

Their bravery shall never be forgotten. 🫑

Shakespeare’s birthplace to be decolonised after β€˜white supremacy’ fears Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon warned the Bard’s genius could be seen as a symbol of β€˜British cultural superiority’

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03... My country's culture is being changed, disembowelled re rewritten and lost forever. England and being English is being treated like a dirty word that the left woke want abolishing forever..

πŸ“Έ No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Familyβ€”but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothesβ€”it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.
