Last night’s question

Does using the f-word when some obstructive piece of furniture messes you about during the hours of darkness count double or only 50% of the usual rate?

Life extender

A British firm has come up with a gene tweak which delays the browning process in bananas that have been peeled, sliced or bashed.
    The new stock could put a dent in the number of bananas thrown away unconsumed; one million per day in the UK.

Absurd wokeness

The former BierBC is getting a severe booting for claiming that unpainted fingernails are ‘classist’ and a blatant symbol of white supremacy.
    Divisive tosh is now seen as part of a tedious Beeb agenda to politicise absolutely everything.

Extremely far-Wrong

Our Prime Mayor has given the job of Nature Minister to a woman who thinks everyone who enjoys the countryside, its pubs and the company of dogs is a rabid member of the far-Right. But also claims she enjoys these things herself.
    Where do they get people like this?

Somewhere new

Illegals have found that Mylor harbour near Falmouth is a good place to sneak ashore undetected by the usual seaborne spies. For a while. The Cornish police made 10 arrests of boaters and accomplices to foil some sneakery.

At it again

London’s Sadgeek cosmetic mayor is intent on banning vehicles from a half-mile stretch of Oxford Street in the capital in time to discourage Xmas shoppers.

Bad bods

A survey has declared Tesla vehicle drivers the worst-mannered of all road users.
    They rant at other motorists over crimes like not letting another vehicle pull out into a traffic stream whilst doing it shamelessly themselves.
