No, they don't. It's perfectly possible to stand still without fidgeting and waving your hands about.

She has had (probably) bowel disease which is debilitating, followed by a major abdominal operation. And chemo can knock people for six. I'm hoping that the cancer cells didn't get a chance to spread.

At some point it became obvious that news reporters and presenters had been instructed to move their hands continually. It's very annoying and distracting, and the result is that they have nothing left to express emphasis when it's needed.

Do you use cash much? I'm not sure if the new designs have gone into circulation yet, but the two commemorative 50p coins are out there. The first one was the QE2 memorial coin, and the second is the Coronation one. I've got both, although one was given to me.

Nothing against CBR, I just don't like the song.

I only use Facebook for the local community pages (although they can occasionally get quite toxic ) It's a useful communication tool. Also for following certain organisations, musicians, events and the like.

Sometimes there's just nothing you can do right away.

She looks quite spry to me. Has aged naturally without reaching for the Botox.

OMG I'm in fifth place! Highest I've been for years. Won't last

sooooo predictable.

Oooh I had that last time with Harry Belafonte!

Woody Cook. A name that must be plagued by typos.

Rishi Sunak vows to boost UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030 Like it's going to be up to him.

As a female with a sense of humour, I thought it was funny. The ladies modelling the Tshirts seemed to as well. Alas, all the things we are not allowed to laugh at now. And on a technical note, cup size is relative to band size, so a DD cup on say a 34" bra is a fair bit smaller than a DD cup on a 40" bra.

Watched any David Lynch yet?

I started to watch Oppenheimer last night, but fell asleep after an hour and woke up at 0330 on the sofa. So depressing though. It could have been a very uplifting film if ..... no spoilers though. I found the incessant ominous background music increasingly tiresome.

Let us know how you get on, but probably best to take this to the films thread.

All I want is for the country to be run by honest, competent grown-ups who put the country's and the people's interests before their own. Yes I know it's too much to ask now.

Sunak looking like a big boy
