My life (what I call “real life”) and other people’s lives seem to have parted company, like a broken zip… Australia: Woman discovers fake Instagram wedding was real
How stoopid can you be? This stoopid Gritters stopped by 200 cars double parked on Peak District road, says council
True. Hee hee, I’ve just seen a very fancy car (couldn’t tell you what but it looks expensive), unoccupied, slowly drift down the road outside our house (slick ice for the last four days) and bump into another very fancy car (ditto) that is parked downhill from it and also unoccupied.

If the uphill one comes back first, I can’t see how it will gain enough traction to reverse uphill and leave.

Kier Starmer and Rachel Reeves obviously had a sneak preview of the report and determined to avoid that happening to the elderly in Britain.
Very sad. This was also a storyline in the Australian soap "Prisoner, Cell Block H". The oldest inmate, Lizzie, was released but missed all her friends inside and deliberately got herself jailed again.
