This is what I want, kind of
Human composting I’d actually just like to be chucked onto a compost heap and left to break down. None of this poncing about sending me off to have a company do it. Composting happens for free, after all. Just heave … Continue reading
So they’ve spent all this money

My son’s Fiesta doesn’t, and had a puncture that I wasn’t sure would be safe to drive on far enough to get it fixed. Fortunately I still have the set of standard profile wheels that I fitted to my own … Continue reading
Doh, the hypocrisy!
An ex-Tory justice minister somehow failing to realise that he doesn’t get to decide that the law doesn’t apply to him.
And yet again
A “delivery” today. I’m guessing it never rains in DHL World. It was actually scheduled for delivery yesterday but it appears our home fell into an alternate reality for the day without the four of us that were here all … Continue reading
Apparently in DHL World this counts as delivered
I mean, really?!
