'older rats sometimes resisted tickling'. Today, I'm reading papers about rats being tickled until they laugh. I love my work. The only thing better would be the one who gets to tickle the rats 😆 #writerslife

It’s not often you hear of someone spending 53 years in a job. Arthur was my Godfather and is probably the reason I love dogs so much.

I’ll never forget school holidays spent in pens with countless puppies.

The LDH is what is today because of his hard work. Rest easy. ♥️

Folks, we have no choice. We must all start smelting aluminium in our backyards between 10am and 3pm.

This story should be front page for days…Japan doesn’t even need all the gas we are selling it..it’s reselling it!

While the our Minister for (exporting) Resources says our trading partners are in desperate need for our gas…they’re actually busy onselling it!

This is weird (Elmo’s minions messing with The Algorithm 🤷‍♂️) - I went looking for The Politics but couldn’t find them until I got their handle *exactly* right. Otherwise, they seem hidden away - in the naughty corner? 🤔
