and I suspect that that wee map suffers from the BBC weather map distortion which shrinks Scotland. The blue map on the right is better perhaps.
Too late.
Green wash! Merrily on high In heav'n the bells are ringing. Green wash! Verily the sky Is riv'n with angel singing. Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis! Gloria, Hosanna in excelsis!
I'm off to type "significant Russian factories" into the TripAdvisor search field.
Cooling towers in Iran. We don't need AC here in Scotland either..
Not the joke of the century, but the best joke of the 250yearsery !

Which faith wouldn't allow you to look at LED lighting in your fridge on the Sabbath. Shall I light a candle and leave it in the fridge?
A chart labeled "Where and how is water stored?" It shows 3 pie charts, where the second and third pie charts refer to a segment on the chart before it. The first pie chart is labeled "All of Earth's water" and shows that ocean is 95.6%, freshwater is 2.5%, and other saline water is 0.9%. The second pie chart is labeled "All freshwater" and corresponds to the 2.5% of the previous chart. It shows glaciers & ice caps with 68.7% ground water with 30.1%, and surface & other water with 1.2%. The last pie chart is labeled "Surface & other freshwater" and shows ground ice & permafrost with 69%, lochs with 20.9%, soil moisture with 3.8%, atmosphere 3%, swamps & marshes 2.6%, rivers 0.49%, and living things 0.26%. The footer of the chart says noaa.gov/education – that's a Labour think tank, yes?
Tartan army was here.
Pic from Beach Buoy @12bbytheseaside.bsky.social I hope Trump is looking at this.
That's a Zarges aluminium box sprayed black isn't it? Wonderful boxes.
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials: Dear Ambassador: President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state] “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”
I do have a detail observation though. If we presume that the engine got pulled out because of a bump at the railway while the beetle was hanging low because overloaded, then the loss of the engine would've solved the overload issue and the rear of the car would be sitting high after the incident. So I'm looking at the rear wheel arch trying to assess whether it's high or low. Of course it might be a prank and that might be a dummy inflatable engine they've left on the track. There's no oil slick. I'm a real hoot at a party btw.
the toilet rolls.
he's a fascist pig.

I searched for Trump on the Wayfair Furniture site. I wish I hadn't.
You're right, this photo added here is a bit random
Dave Doogan SNP Westminster Leader, with his beard. Myself, I think Keir Starmer would have been better growing a beard than accepting those awful glasses
