Donald Trump drawing attention to himself by selling Bibles in Holy Week is the very antithesis of Christian humility and servanthood demonstrated by Jesus. Remember, Jesus overturned the tables of money grabbing charlatans and opportunitists like him! In this sacred week especially, it stinks! 🤢

A Brief History of Pi

Pi, denoted as π, is the mathematical constant representing the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. This transcendental number is approximately equal to 3.14159 and is crucial in various fields of science, mathematics, and engineering. The quest to understand π has spanned several millennia. Ancient Babylonians and Egyptians used approximations of π for practical computations, with the Babylonians using a value of 3.125 and the…

Budget: The way Jeremy Hunt is speaking, you'd be forgiven for thinking the Tories hadn't been in charge for 14 years. 🤣

Budget Day: Having carefully considered all his options, Jeremy Hunt will ignore what's best for the UK and do what's best for an increasingly desperate Tory Party.

I'm really impressed with Sadiq Khan speaking clearly and with integrity (on LBC Radio) about the racism he's currently facing from senior Tory politicians. He's rising above the Islamophobia that the PM and government ministers have failed to acknowledge or condemn. You may disagree with his policies, but he stands head and shoulders above them.

Part of my motivation to learn European languages is that I'm passionately British AND European. Conversely, it's because of my inherent opposition to the madness of Brexit in an interdependent world. But mainly because all learning is good and never wasted. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

The Tory Rwanda Plan started as Boris Johnson's gimmick to divert attention from the Sue Gray Report. It's now become a millstone around Rishi Sunak's neck, even though he had misgivings about it as Finance Minister. Now, the hard-right boneheads in the Tory Party are causing division because they want it to be harsher. Sadly, the government is systematically trashing human compassion and international law. Yes, I'm angry about what my country is becoming.

Don't waste your time with closed minds, conspiracy theorists, and haters on social media. Don't amplify their message by responding and feeding the algorithms. Just ignore (possibly block) and move on. This is especially important on new sites like Bluesky and Threads where the idiots are starting to gain traction.

Calling something 'woke' because you're lacking in human empathy and can't be bothered to understand an issue or think it through is a scourge of modern society and political life. It's divisive and lazy.

Someone made me a mug of tea the other day by putting the milk in first, followed by the teabag, and then only hot (not boiling) water. I'm still a nervous wreck thinking about it. 😳😵‍💫😮

I'm 69, I've just run a 5k parkrun and I'm off to run with Freddy (8) around Ropner Park in Stockton, Teesside. Remind me, what's your excuse for not running? 🤣 #parkrun #running

It goes without saying that what Hamas did was morally abhorrent, but every time you see a tower block in Gaza being destroyed by an Israeli missile on the news you are watching children being killed, injured, or made orphans. 😡

When I was about 12 my father took me to a pet store and we bought a pair of Guinea Pigs.

On the way out, my father asked the clerk if they had any books on preparing them.

They looked horrified.
