Oh that is an awesome present! I wouldn’t mind that for my 60th!

It’s man-made, at Pantai Kok area. I found out about it while looking for jet ski packages for my kids. We went early and had the entire island and all the staff to ourselves. It’s currently shut for reno work, will reopen in July. The staff were brill with my kids & i’d go back for sure.

Me too!
My kids enjoyed Langkawi a lot especially the day we had on Paradise 101, I think they loved the idea we had an island all to ourselves for a few hours and they could pretend they were filthy rich. LOL

Ian Huntley was jailed for life and bullied in prison until one attack left him brain damaged and blind and his life support was withdrawn. Personally, I think this is barbaric. If Ian Huntley was American, they wouldn't have let this happen. They would have made him president.

“Yes, take passports off foreign-born Brits!”
“What an excellent idea. Let’s start with your sister’s foreign-born children.”
“Oh er… not them… they’re proper Brits…”

Heard this long ago, long before Reform even came into being. It’s always been there.

The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.

🎉 Extra Date Added!

We are delighted to announce that Brian Bilston, Twitter’s unofficial Poet Laureate, is returning to Seamus Heaney HomePlace for an extra night on Saturday 7th November 2026.

I always have sweaty palms too. Like a fish at most games! 🙈😂

Hahahahaha!

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

Just to add that my 6th Nov show at the Seamus Heaney Centre in Bellaghy has now sold out - so another one has been added for the following evening. All details here: brianbilston.com/events/

My son had a few in his year who were off school for anxiety. I remember one lad missed over a year. But they had therapy, had family support & learnt to manage their anxiety enough to come back to school. I hope your daughter finds a way to do the same for herself. You’re fab, keep supporting her!

Well done to your daughter and to you for your support!

😂😂😂

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Just can’t believe that wanting to financially punish women who miscarry didn’t swing the vote for him.

Stupid woke voters.

Pulp poetry.
