Not me, I fucking love it.

Summer is happiness and possibilities and blue skies and perfect days. Winter is grim, grey, dark, and cold. Summer is life, winter is death.

I’ve pretty much always felt that way but even more so right now. I’m on just about every single medication the NHS prescribes for high blood pressure and the cocktail of drugs makes me feel cold all the time. Winter is six months of shivering for me, no matter how many layers I put on. This is the first week of the year I haven’t been miserable with cold.

Shame. Gary Oldman’s Jackson Lamb is the most perfect depiction of a character from a book that I’ve ever seen.

The Last Of Us was excellent and featured one of the most amazing episodes of TV of all time.

If you’re a Twin Peaks fan (I am), the this is the place to watch Twin Peaks: The Return if you haven’t seen it yet.

Dune Prophecy was excellent, although on a smaller scale than the Vileneuve films. But I enjoy anything with Travis Fimmel.

My wife liked Poker Face but I found the lead a little grating.

The Penguin was pretty good, featuring an unrecognisable Colin Farrell.

We don’t have enough chairs, sorry!

I’m cooking Easter lunch for the whole extended family. I’m doing carnitas (and a chicken version because we have a couple of people who don’t do pork). Looking forward to chilled hours in the kitchen cooking some fucking delicious food. Food is love and I love to cook.

Some US elites absolutely love us and have ‘afternoon tea’, including (inexplicably) cucumber sandwiches. The current crop of wankers don’t give two shits about us and wouldn’t piss on us if we were on fire.

"… a new free speech network… to actually talk about the issues people don’t want to talk about.”

Fucking hell, Liz, you absolute lettuce!

Cambridge thinks it’s American English vs. British English. Cambridge is wrong.

Either ee-ther or eye-ther.

That community seems more about communities than boosting specific communities. Maybe I should check out the ‘new community’ communities. Now I’ve written the word ‘communities’ too often and it just looks like nonsense to me!

Nope, but I’ve grilled plenty this year.

If you like barbecuing, some and join us on !cooking_with_fire@feddit.uk - it’s a small community and we need all the content we can get!

“How much British steel was used in the end?”
“Approximately or absolutely?”
“Approximately.”
“Approximately none.”
“And absolutely?”
“Also none.”
“But didn’t you agree to use British steel where possible.”
“Oh, yes indeed. And we did. Where possible. As agreed.”
“But why didn’t you use more?”
“It wasn’t possible, I’d like to be clear on that point.”
“Why wasn’t it possible?”
“Chinese steel was cheaper.”

Well-toasted with enough high-quality butter that the plate is also buttered. With a tiny sprinkling of salt because the ‘slightly salted’ butter isn’t ‘salted’ butter.

I love just a little on hot buttered toast. Too much blows my taste buds.

When’s he due? I might make time to pop along and see him.

Jesus is still alive, His resurrection and ascension was witnessed.

Dude’s been hiding for a while then. Probably out of embarrassment.

My main thought is that this is very reminiscent of the way saints are portrayed in stained glass.

Well, one of them anyway.
