My wife and I were talking about blood pressure about 30 minutes ago. Just a few minutes ago, I got two emails about blood pressure, out of nowhere.. Interesting how that works..

Absolute shambles of customer service from @British_Airways on the eve of a £16k family holiday. Agent books a partner onto the wrong flight, refuses to cross-reference our existing group, and then forces a £1k charge to fix the mistake after auditing their own call. Disgusted.

The @andyburnham plan to fine people up to £1,000 for playing loud music on buses is a gimmick. Asked who will enforce the law Downing St admits: they haven't a clue

Andy Burnham really had already exceeded his ability when he was made Mayor of Manchester. He wants devolution, and to run parking restrictions across the country from No 10…. Utterly incomprehensible unless your mindset has never expanded beyond being a local councillor* * I actually credit most local councillors with more of a grasp on issues than Burnham

My grandfather didn't come home the night of his 50th anniversary party. Grandma woke up at 6 a.m. and his side of the bed was still made. She called my mom. My mom called my aunts. By 7, nine of us were crowded in Grandma's kitchen. Everyone had a theory. My aunt Carol said he'd gone to the hospital for his heart. My uncle Paul said he'd finally snapped after fifty years of Grandma's opinions about his driving. My cousin said he'd been kidnapped. Nobody took her seriously. Then someone checked the driveway. His truck was gone. The room went quiet. Grandma sat down slowly and folded her hands. "He took the good coat," she said. "The one he wears to funerals." That made it worse. My mom started calling hospitals. My uncles split up to drive around town. I stayed with Grandma and made tea nobody drank. After forty minutes, my phone buzzed. It was my uncle Paul. "Found the truck," he said. "Where?" "Outside the bakery on Fifth." "It's six thirty in the morning." "I know." "The lights are on." I put my coat on. Grandma stood up too. "I'm coming." Nobody argued with her. We pulled up to find half the family already on the sidewalk. Through the window, we could see my grandfather behind the counter. He was wearing the good coat. There was flour on the sleeves. Next to him stood old Mr. Alvarez, the baker, who is ninety-one. They were arguing over a cake. A huge one, three tiers, lopsided on the left. My uncle Paul knocked on the glass. My grandfather turned around and went pale. He opened the door. "You weren't supposed to be up yet," he said. Grandma crossed her arms. "You left me a note?" "I left a note on the fridge." We all looked at each other. My mom ran back to check. Ten minutes later, she texted us a photo. It was a sticky note on the fridge, hidden behind a magnet shaped like a pineapple. "Gone to the bakery. Back by 8. Don't worry. Love, Walt." Nobody had opened the fridge. Grandma's face softened. "Walter. Why are you at a bakery at 6 a.m. in your funeral coat?" He took off his hat. "Fifty years ago, we couldn't afford a wedding cake." "Mr. Alvarez's wife made us one for free." "It was lopsided and it leaned to the left." "You ate half of it standing in the parking lot because we were late for the bus." My grandmother's eyes filled. "I never forgot that cake," he said. "So last night, after the party, I came here." "Mr. Alvarez has been teaching me how to make it." "I wanted to bring it to you at breakfast." "It isn't finished." "It still leans." Mr. Alvarez wiped his hands on his apron. "He ruined four of them," he said. "Don't let him tell you otherwise." Grandma walked up to the counter. She looked at the cake for a long time. Then she stuck a finger in the frosting and tasted it. "It's too sweet," she said. Everyone held their breath. "I'll eat all of it." She hugged him right there in front of the whole family. My uncle Paul, who had accused him of snapping, had to go stand outside for a minute. We ate that cake at 8 a.m. on the sidewalk, with plastic forks, passing the box around. Grandpa still brings one home on the first of every month. Every single one leans to the left

Many people say 10. How many people do you think are in the elevator??

It is rumored that recently,Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Supreme Leader of North Korea, suffered a severe cerebral hemorrhage and fell into a coma. Although a team of medical experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital was dispatched to North Korea to assist in his treatment, the poor medical conditions in North Korea forced Kim Jong-un to be transferred to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for emergency treatment. However, due to the severity of his condition and the fact that the optimal window for treatment had passed, Kim Jong-un succumbed to his injuries and died. His body has been secretly transported back to North Korea, and the news of his death is being kept under wraps.

Any1 remember the £30 & £40 monthly mobile phone bills @o2 etc??? Why is the cheapest £65 &£70 pm now???

Just out of curiosity.. has anyone ever actually been polled? I’ve never.. and I don’t know one single person who has ever been polled either. Just curious. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like these cooler nights, I find it much easier to sleep in a cold room with two duvets than in a warm room with a single thin summer duvet.
