If you think quick enough, the answer is that you have a swollen toe and you decided matching slippers were better than one slipper and one shoe. (Or as an alternative, get plain black slippers instead of those pink fluffy ones with bunny ears!)

Had you had the recommended shower before getting to the poolside? :unsure:

The Palace were vague but basically honest about her condition from the start. They said she was having a major operation and would be out of action for months, while was both 100% correct and also vague. The difficulty comes after the cancer was diagnosed. Now, I presume it isn't expected...

So the likes of Gabon, Togo, Rwanda, Mozambique, South Sudan, Suriname, Burundi, should all be told to get stuffed, we're disbanding the club? The Commonwealth doesn't exist because the UK wants it, it exists because the 54 member countries want it. We need to get away from the far-from...

And how does that compare with Brighton's away ticket prices?

It's basically competitive net practice. Helps the pitchers build up their stamina and the batters get practice against live pitching under game conditions.

That, I think, is where the anti-racists (with the best intentions) are storing up problems. Treating black people as a different caste from white people is not going to help. I am an accountant, but being an accountant doesn't define me. I am bald, but being bald doesn't define me. I am...

I've never tried using a touchscreen while driving, but are you genuinely saying that you can use it without looking at the screen? Or are you saying that looking at the road provides no safety advantage over looking at a screen? Either seems unlikely. I certainly can't use my tablet...

Just to pick up on one tiny point - even the head of the Civil Service union has said that civil servants (I presume he only means those with desk jobs) could cut their hours by 20% with no effect on efficiency. Argue for underpaid if you like, but not for overworked.

Or imagine the carnage if they tried it now. There were no motorways (slip roads) and few, if any, roundabouts in 1960's Sweden. It'd be a lot trickier now.

Perhaps it's inappropriate to bring accurate facts into posts about George Galloway, but Galloway had a majority of 5,697 yesterday (Lloyd had 9.668 majority in 2019) and Galloway got 12,335 votes compared with Lloyd's 24,475 in 2019.

If you have booked the tickets for the two flights as a single booking, then the flights will be far enough apart to allow for transfers. They wouldn't sell you a flight that can't be done. For example, my next flight to the USA has a stop in Dublin which is very handy (and deliberate) because...

The UK can't "give it back " to Argentina, because the Falklands were never owned by Argentina. They were, very briefly, owned by Spain. I suppose the issue is that some people still believe that the Falklanders (and Gibraltarians) should be able to determine their own future. If it were to be...

True, but Darla was better still. sorry can't do photos, anyone care to oblige?

I'm sure the Tories will be swept out of power, but only to be replaced with a similar high-tax, high-spending government. Nothing will change. Ironically, one of the reasons councils are going bust is because of the hugely generous inflation-proofed final salary pensions that (until recently...

And apparently he was far from being a "stupid boy". He and Arthur Lowe (or perhaps it was John Laurie) used to compete for who could solve the Times crossword faster.

No offence, but a lot of the discontent now is that people like yourself look at the number of food banks, compare it to what the young baby boomers had, and say "look how much poorer we are than then". For the record, baby boomers have not always had it so good. My mother was a teacher...

Wear a vest. Don't let your chest get cold. Works for me.

I can see the advantage of using phones. You have your money, your phone, your car key, all on one simple device. Nothing else to carry. And then again .... The lady ahead of me in the supermarket queue, and her phone packed up. She couldn't pay for her shopping, she couldn't get into her...

You don't get wooden seats any more. we had to rip them up in the away end for UEFA regulations, during the Europa Cup season. Besides, wide wood seats or narrow plastic seats? I know what I'd prefer.
