Yes and the judge was told about the chat and how everyone was thanking her which seemed to please her

You've got to build up to the chocolate onslaught of Easter. You can't just dive in, this takes training.

Interesting

🤐

Oh, I hear you!

But I'm all about delayed gratification.

There are maltesers etc in the meantime 😉

I’ve tried Safari and Chrome but get black screen with both. Maybe it’s an iPad issue.

Re: the various debates about transmen in this situation...

Because of the safety factor, women are more disadvantaged than men by mixed-sex provision, so they can make a sex discrimination claim (a potential element of the David Lloyd and Darlington cases).

Men don't like mixed-sex provision either, but have no recourse under discrimination law. Because it's not illegal to discriminate against 'cis' people.

For those unable to see the link on X - DU has arrived, no scarf, holding hands with wife and surrounded by supporters

brave and stunning wasnt it? Especially all the racist and sexist tweets from it's star. The hollywood left don't know what to do. Transbutracistbutvulnerablebutbigot etc.

They must have realised that the hat/scarf 'disguise' wasn't coming across well.

He's quite pretty

Watching and emergency back up. I read the tweets for howlers. There is so much scrutiny on this one. We're always careful but this is next level.

Also - watching Naomi is the best day time TV ever. The woman is an assassin as an advocate.

The real question is WHY AREN'T YOU eating them yet!!!!

I don't eat them all the way up to easter. Just have a few when they start selling them. Im weak to the reeces peanut butter ones and they only sell them for a couple of months. Saying that, as a family we don't really do eggs at actual easter. mostly plants/bulbs other then the kids.

Dr U plus entourage

Arriving at the tribunal about 10 minutes ago. Wife to his right (holding hands) and JR to his left.

Don't see his parents there today...

MN emojis, 3rd category (burger in a bun), on the top row.

Phisophical question.

If cadbury creame eggs are sold all year, are they easter eggs? Do they become easter eggs if you buy them in the weeks preceding easter?

So just arriving ten minutes ago?

I’d be so ashamed if that was my son

But if he only arrived ten minutes ago they can't even have been trying to get started on time?

Big old unit, isn’t he?

He's looking more cocky than I would have thought he'd be today, after the events of Friday!

He looks like he is enjoying the attention. Almost...smug?

No pun intended, @Appalonia !
