Bought a premium membership on this place and, yes, the number of ads has noticeably dropped. However the ones that are left are all for women's sex toys. Have been searching my posts to see if I've ever used the words "insufficiently stimulated" as I've no better idea why the…

I wanted a picture of a stick of Blackpool rock with the word "prayer" running through it for a sermon and tried every single AI program I could think of. Finally CoPilot, after being rubbish for weeks, just came up with the goods. Maybe the machines are taking over. Pity the…

Since Mum died I've been phoning round to redirect bank debits and bills into my name. Council: "I'm so sorry. We'll sort it for you." Gas: "Our condolences. We'll reissue the bill." Insurance: "That's brilliant! Thanks for letting us know." Nice to have made them happy.

Stir-up Sunday takes place on the last Sunday before Advent - and the name originates, not from the stirring of the pudding, but from a prayer traditionally used on this day: “Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people..."

Andy Rourke's death at 59 is very, very sad news to wake up to.

Yes OK. I fancy Penny Mordaunt...she has to carry that sword with her when we go out on a date, though.

Good to see there was no pen-related tetchiness in the signing of the oath by the King there. Vivat Carolus.

As Watership Down is trending here are the 5 rabbits you'd want leading your warren: Dandelion, Blackberry, Holly, Silver and Blackavar. Hazel is too dull and worthy, Bigwig too arrogant and impetuous and Fiver's a hippie.

As one grows up, one realises that everything one knows eventually changes, goes away or dies. For many people of my age, The Queen seemed to be the very last unchangeable and it is very, very strange that she's gone.
