www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Trump complains US healthcare is outrageously priced. Rather than change that, Eli Lilly leads a race to the bottom by charging everyone else more. With c.1.5m Brits paying privately for Mounjaro and few having £330+pcm to spare, this is terrible news for public health

I don't wish to sound boastful, but when I bought a portable aircon in 2022 loads of people took the piss. Who's laughing now, eh? It's 32 degrees outside and my bedroom is a lovely 18 degrees. The rest of the upstairs is pushing 30 degrees. I'm happy, cats are happy. Best daft purchase of my life.

Gardening-related injuries. What a boring git.

Something fishy about this sob story (1) The photos are stock shots taken in 2012 and 2014, available from Shutterstock and Alamy—links below. (2) There’s no trace of bankers Al and Alexandra Moy anywhere other than the Telegraph 🤔 www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/... www.alamy.com/stock-photo-...

THIS adorable plonker fell head-first into the toilet this morning and got soaked (in water, not piss). How's your day going?

Hey United Utilities.Let's make a deal: you stop giving your top two execs £4m in pay and bonuses each year and stop dumping waste in Windermere, and I'll reduce how long I spend in the shower and do one less washing load a week. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"How did you spend your day off?" "Ah, the standard 'dealing with a pipe in the ceiling that decided to piss water all over my new kitchen'." It's never a bank hol weekend in this old house without a plumbing/roofing/electrical emergency. Wonder which bit will cave in next? Place your bets now.

Electricity is woke now. I'd never thought of investing in the Lincolnshire tallow and open hearth fire industries but I guess it's a good time now. 🤷🏽‍♀️🕯️🔥

I'll precis this by saying that I'm in a very fortunate financial situation compared to many but HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD these grocery prices are getting out of control. I'm a lentil-munching, home-baking, freezer-full-of-stuff-I've-made-from-scratch twat but even I'm finding this troublesome.

I would be extremely happy if it could stay at this temperature (23 to 28 Celsius), sunny, with minimal rain until October, please. Could even go a touch warmer. Thanks in advance (even though I know that we will oscillate wildly between 8 degrees and 40 degrees between now and then).

A very happy #EdBallsDay to all those who celebrate it

Define "liberal elite". Because unless we're talking about being elite at log-end darts, climbing chimneys or working in mills then I'm not sure that using a still from a drama about working class Northerners from 100ish years ago is really supporting the T*legraph's mental gymnastics.

Watching a documentary about the late Pope is somewhat challenging when one has a Google Assistant. Every time someone on screen says "Jorge Bergoglio" the Assistant thinks someone is saying "hey Google" 🤣

Levantine Easter feasting. All homemade: bureka, kofta, chicken with arak and clementines, mujadara, flatbread, focaccia, butternut and tahini dip, beetroot dip, fattoush, tabouleh, spinach with almonds and dates, baba ghanoush, halloumi and baklava. He is risen (and who wouldn't for this scran).

Today in 'adventures of not straightening one's hair' I managed to quite literally make a colleague jump when I switched my camera on with my hair piled on top of my head. Admittedly the waves are totally out of control. But still. Good to know the spirit of Side Show Bob lives on 🤣

Private equity is not solely responsible for the enshittification of Britain, but it's certainly at the forefront of it. Unfulfilled by ruining your favourite small business, retail chain, or dining experience, here they are enshittifying veterinary care. Total spivs www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Poor Brian probably should have googled what 'nō' means before he made himself the joke. 😂

The past few weeks have reminded me how much fun the 90s were and how - away from school - carefree we were as teens. Skunk Anansie. Ocean Colour Scene. Kula Shaker. And a new Pulp album incoming... Music was my whole world in the mid/late 90s and now in my 40s the acts I loved are still 💯

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cg... well this looks utterly miserable.

"Mistakes were made". Gizmo hiding after he decided it would be fun to repeatedly and deliberately annoy my oldest and most patient cat, Tibby, only for Tibby to absolutely wallop him in return.

This is why I'm depressed. Sixteen-year-old me thought adult life would involve driving through central London in a Rolls Royce with Alan Rickman before doing sensual dance on a forecourt. Instead it's taking a bus through Fallowfield before queueing in a Tesco Express for groceries I can't afford.

Had a lot of fun @buffyrevamped.bsky.social last night @thelowry.com. If you're a nerd with a love of the nineties and noughties then this one-man show is a must see. Very silly, very cleverly done, and very funny.

Gizmo acting like he caught the fish for the fish pie.

www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know... here's the link to donate for #DuvetKnowItsChristmas. We may chuckle at everyone's temporarily overcrowded homes but we are SO fortunate to have a warm bed (not a manger!) and a safe home in which to live.

Seems appropriate that after lurking here for a while, my first Bluesky post is a reminder to follow #DuvetKnowItsChristmas and @rhodri.biz - all in aid of a good cause. So settle down for an evening of giggling at grown adults bedding down in utility rooms, kitchens, kids' bedrooms and attics.
