Not much fun

Getting to the tennis in SW19 is a real headache thanks to the cosmetic mayor busily trying to get cannabis use legalized and neglecting Transport for London’s chaos.
    And if you get to Wimbledon, there’s a plague of mosquitos to endure!

Experience tells us . . .

. . . that President Trump has as much hope of stopping the war in Gaza as he had of stopping the one against Ukraine.

According to the circumstances

One of those surveys has found that ‘milk in last’ is what most people do when making tea. Which makes sense if it’s with a mug using a teabag. But ‘milk in first’ still applies to delicate china to reduce the shock of hot tea arriving from a teapot.

Costly obsession

According to Edstone Milipede, covering the country with solar panels and wind turbines made in China will protect families, businesses and the public finances from future fossil fuel shocks.
    Not ending oil and gas production around the British Isles would offer better security cheaper. But this is obviously something Edstone’s tiny brain can’t grasp.

Useless lot

If 50% of MPs are on fat jabs, as Health Sec. Wee Streeting would have us believe, they are clearly overpaid and oversubsidised in their bars and eateries as well as lacking in self-discipline.

Nimbleness needed

A convenient fitness guide for those recovering after a spell in hospital – can you get all the way across the road at a pedestrian crossing before the audio signal stops bleeping?

Not the whole story

An article on the NHS providing weight-loss drugs more or less on demand included premature mortality in a list of indirect costs to society.
    Which is rather weird if those affected by this no longer cost the NHS money for treatment and they don’t need an old age pension.
