I get the point of Bazball, I do. I was brought up watching Boycott and Tavaré and I'm still scarred. But you're seven down and 350 runs behind on the fifth day with bad light closing in and the last recognised batter gets out trying to hit three sixes in a row? #ENGIND https://amanita.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:mymiyz3x72kdfeb5nfmrk5my&cid=bafkreia5sdahjjeatyqkyq4d5pry32azawdwecih6lt5uxfeyfcylbuhqy
Not trying to get preferential customer service by moaning publicly on social media but the sheer beauty of Thames Water’s chatbot surely deserves a wider audience. https://amanita.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:mymiyz3x72kdfeb5nfmrk5my&cid=bafkreicmfcgx67qseeith7pdopqx44zsz5d2msypm3wanyv6m4tsrtl2va https://amanita.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:mymiyz3x72kdfeb5nfmrk5my&cid=bafkreifpav2wymdovk4vxuu6pir3qdcdtrey3tm7qj6p3k2f42bmqquiry
Yes yes I realise this is flippant and tasteless but ffs Russian oligarchs, build yourself a bungalow. RE:
Boss move would be for Noel and Liam to come out and simply read out a series of controversial opinions regarding the situation in Gaza, Northern Ireland, racial integration in Britain, the winter fuel allowance, the teaching of phonics in schools etc and then leave the stage again. https://amanita.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:mymiyz3x72kdfeb5nfmrk5my&cid=bafkreiewixlo53fxxmyyzu33hewohvdgj2g4vxtvsf5lc2clwuxehpl3ce
And so we consign the Freedom Caucus to the ash-heap of history along with the Tea Party, the Gingrichites and every other Republican movement after Eisenhower that has falsely claimed to be fiscally conservative.

So a Tory former PM criticises the cuts to UK aid while those noted development champions Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, as far as I can tell, have been utterly silent on the subject. Brown was very happy to do it when it was a Tory government doing the cutting. [www.theguardian.com/global-devel...]( ) RE:
