FFS, you can be slightly different shades of white, just as you can be brown or black. Isn't that like Jack always going on about her Greek Cypriot heritage and why her hands look dirty? Just because two illustrated characters aren't exactly the same shade of pink doesn't mean one is black.

Yes, I was just thinking this earlier. I'm very pale whereas my Mum's skin tone is darker. Both still very obviously white, we just have different colouring.

On the subject of having a laundry list of conditions, hands up over here. I dread to think what my medical notes are like!

I don't build my entire personality around it though, or use it as an excuse for rampaging round Social Media like an elephant with toothache.

It was in the original list darling heart of mine, but I haven't been able to update it due to having to rescue a pup. This is another one who was dumped in the campo near here, our 4th this year. I collected this baby mastin/German Shepherd baby at about 8am on Saturday and guess what, Jack, he was at the vet by 10am. He was full of ticks, anaemic and starving so I've been spending quite a lot of time liking, loving and laughing at all your clever posts but the one thing that I haven't been able to do was engage in on-line wars with imaginary enemies (or posting photos of £60 teapots) or trying to treat him myself. Anyway, long story short, I have managed to find Baby Jake a lovely new home but he will be staying here until he's a bit better. The little tit has also chewed through the lead to my laptop, tipped eleventytwo bowls of water over and poohed on the bed.

Phew. New list updated to include the ludicrous claims in the Washington Post interview.

Sorry @SoulRebel, unless you show us a pic of your new pooch in the pocket of your hoodie, we cannot possibly believe that your are an animal rescuer 😉

Hope your new addition has settled in well, and I hope your Grandson is thriving ❤️

Thanks for compiling the job list. Makes it easier to watch for little additions being referenced...

There will be the most enormous low.

Definitely. She's had a huge high over the last few days. The crash is going to be immense. I'm feeling a bit clammy just thinking about it. I, occasionally, in my stupider moments, miss the incredible highs I used to get when cycling big time between mania and depression, but even thinking about someone else's low is reminding me why being calmer is the much better option.

You (or your mum) will be pleased to learn he is far from a Tory! https://www.12ft.io/https://www.the...le/2012/jul/14/terry-deary-horrible-histories

I adored the HH books. I rinsed my local library of the entire collection growing up 😂 The perfect kind of book that encourages you to question everything - past and present.

My 12-year-old’s burning through the series right now, he loves them.
 
Don't mind me, the ghost of Christmas Saturday past. But, @crystaleyesd, this is absolute effing genius 🤣 The Grunking is worth it.
