Great Uncle Bulgaria didn’t come from Bulgaria, he was named after it, besides, it’s his first name, his surname is Coburg, and he didn’t come from there either, he always lived in the UK, since the 1600s.
No, no, as he said, the old him would have told you about it, then you’d get all upset when he doesn’t deliver, the new him is just telling you that’ll be really really great and original, but not what ‘it’ is, it’s not hype at all, see.
It’s probably flowers growing in realtime or something.
Apparently drinking iced coffee in this heat, makes me not British. At least according to the old man at the local café, as I walked out with my drink. So what is a British drink on hot days?...

Gog is doing much better than in 2022. They are making 1.2M dollars in profit. Which is pretty good for such a platform personally. I really like the ideals of GOG, but haven't really used the platform a whole lot....
My problem with GOG is that every time I buy a game on GOG, something then happens to result in me having to buy it again on steam. Once it was that the GoG version lagged too far behind, several times it's been that workshop support has been added, or in one case, workshop became the only source for moding.
They've been talking about applying it to postal votes too, I have no idea how that'll work, but it'll disinfranchise myself and my partner, disgusting slimebags that the tories are.
I don't drive, and don't have a (valid*) passport, they've claimed you can apply for an ID (not free), but as a trans woman it's unlikely I can possibly have the documentation required - I believe a birth certificate is required for one; mine does not match my legal name obviously, and all other government documentation (NHS details, National Insurance card, tax documents) are in my legal name.
Besides which, the government knows who I am, and where I live, since I have to be registered on the electoral roll to even be eligable for postal voting in the first place, so what, other than finding a reason to deny me my rights, is the purpose of a voter ID for a postal vote?
I do, somewhere, have an expired passport that expired in 2016, but I was unable to find it in time to renew it, and my permission slip for getting a passport in my legal name expired years ago, it would also be expensive, given that I have no need to travel abroad, so £90+ on sorting out a passport just for voting would be outrageous.
I'd have the same problem, getting a driver's license in my legal name is dependant on the permission slip from the gender clinic, which expired years ago. In theory I could get a new slip, but since the gender clinic discharged me because I don't count as a real person due to having a disability, then they're loathed to deal with me, and I usually just get shunted about to nowhere by my GP.
Of course, in theory my GP is supposed to be able to provide that permission slip, it doesn't have to come from a gender clinic Dr, but my GP throws up their hands at any suggestion of them actually thinking for themselves.

any idea who the BBC presenter could be?

It's Saturday night: let's speculate wildly on the ID of the BBC presenter giving a kid money for blow!
