Wasn’t it a border agent that finished him off as they responded quickest?
He bought 400 rounds of ammunition. Standard scaling for an infantry is 180 (6 mags).

Wow - in the last decade. Real Madrid have won the CL 5 times! Modric has been with them for every one of them. Along with la liga, copa del rey and national team duties - that is one hell of a record!
Yeah Meghan -

Frogmore Netflix in the pipeline 
We are absolutely winning here 
Just had pizza and chips for lunch.
Good job they’re now 3% cheaper.
Jacket potatoes with cheese for supper.
Sausages for breakfast.
Food inflation?
My arse!
If pasta has gone up by 50%, just eat more sausages and cheese, right?
Pfft.

Randomly. How much do people spend on a weekly shop. Per head?
We are shite at shopping. As much as i like cooking planning a weeks worth of meals and shopping for it we both struggle with. End up going to Tescoes Express or I go to waitrose because i think its better and spend a fortune.
But I sat down and did a meal plan, got stuff for lunch and dinner every day, cereals for kids breakfasts. Family of 4. Click and collect from Tescoes it was £111. So about £27.50 per head. Every meal is based on having meat or poultry in it.
How did i do?

Yeah - my membership went up a few quid.
Think it’s £34pcm now.
To swim every day.
And the gym.
And classes.
It’s a charity ran enterprise who run it for the council, but at those prices 
People pay £5 for a single swim there

So why has jacket potato cost gone up

'cos the energy required to make a raw potato into a jacket potato is a higher proportion of the input costs than the potato…

Covid was the best thing to help our food shopping. Led to us writing a weekly plan to only go shopping once and still stick to it. No little trips out just for milk that end into turning into other things.
Averaged around £50-60/week for 2 adults, very much cheap skates from aldi, not much meat but no crisps/biscuits or other cheap calories so lots of fruit and veg.
ETA: No random midweek shops does mean no raiding the reduced to clear though

Sorry if I have missed it, but where are people getting their news?
I don’t really watch TV so find out the news by reading online. BBC news and Guardian have the advantages of being free and easy, but perhaps sometimes seem to have a bit of a left wing or woke agenda. This is only a minor irritation though, and hey it’s free. I also read al Jazeera when can be bothered, which in my view has a really balanced and global perspective but is pretty dry.
Eg: Here’s a story on Al Jazeera this morning which I didn’t see on either BBC or guardian
And their reporting of recent US drone strike on an old man on his balcony seems neutral and factual.
Any other suggestions?

Reuters tends to be decent. BBC definitely push an agenda and quite often “big” news stories just arent reported.
All of the UK papers have a left or right lean.
When the weather was hot recently, evert story by the BBC ended with the same paragraph about climate change. Im not a climate change denier I know its real and dangerous, but stop ramming down my throat.

This has been my search for years now. A decent news outlet or aggregator. I still haven’t found what I’m looking for, as some bloke once said.
I tend to read Al Jazeera and the FT as my primary sources and then dip in and out of others. I try to read all sorts to challenge my own bias. I don’t think it works however, like a grumpy old man I generally tut and mutter well that’s bollocks before shuffling back to more comfortable ground. That’s been happening for years now 
I use the website 12ft.io to read behind paywalls. The only one it doesn’t work on is The Times.
