If you've never had American Grits, you've never eaten grit. However:

Written by AI?

The difficult word here is "celebrating". This suggests the popping of corks and a barbie. I think it's more "feeling relief".

I find it odd that people travel abroad to "get some sun", yet when we get it here people can't stand it. I understand the point that high temperatures in the UK are becoming more frequent due to the reasons you have (rightly) proffered many times.

I think FT members should post what they think the dream was about based on this photo.

I looked for an option to turn this "feature" off, but there doesn't appear to be one.

I repeated this to Mrs Para and she called me a twat.

What's it like noise-wise? I'm a light sleeper and still have to use earplugs even though I don't work shifts any more. Even the noise of a standard fan can keep me awake/wake me up.

What if the other kids have made the wooden handle but haven't got the rubber bands yet? Would the big bully let them keep the handles?

I don't really understand AI.

Where do catapults fit in with this scenario?

As extra insurance, get a season ticket.

Odd coincidence, Mrs Para said similar about having Trump's face on it

I disagree. I know you might say blue lights and sirens might give some protection but trust me, avoiding colliding with some drivers who don't have a clue what to do combined with arrogance and ignorance, and plain stupidity, I still find it surprising that I have driven ambulances and response cars for over 30 years and never had an accident, ever. And I don't put that down to luck. So much of driving is about complete awareness, anticipation, defensive driving, hazard awareness. It's not just getting in the car and driving to X destination. I maintain, if you can't remember at least 50% of your journey, you haven't been aware for the other 50%. For the general public, driver training is just about adequate enough to let people get behind the wheel, but once that test is passed there's no progression. Most drivers will have skill fade once they've passed because they don't have to be "on it" in front of an examiner any more.

I've been pronouncing bein as "bean" or "bine", when it's actually be-in.

The flag is up and it's waving:

Make sure you get seat 11A, just in case

?

Every public statement that this man makes sounds like it's been written by a child.

The Iranian government and the population strike me as being a lot less stable than most other countries that have nuclear capability.

Depends what time I get up

If I have to be up at 3am to be at EMA for a 7am flight I'm likely to be grumpy. If the travel time to the airport plus the check in process takes longer than the flight, I'm grumpy. So that's most European destinations. Flying to Florida was no bother for me as I had time during the flight where I wouldn't be stressed about the destination arrival procedure. Even the kids on board were chilled. One bloke on board the return flight about 2 rows ahead of me had a seizure. I did my paramedic thing with help from the cabin crew. On returning to my seat my youngest daughter (7) declared me to be "amazing" That was a memorable experience.

Oy, get your own example. Here's mine from 2 weeks ago:

Yep, I would agree with all of that. Include in that, social services and community psychiatric services doing welfare checks with their clients and getting updates by phone.
