WHY IS it that whenever you see a couple on a tandem, it is without fail the man at the front and the woman at the back? It’s 2022, for heaven’s sake. If we’re ever going to have equality in this country, women have got to start going at the front on mixed-sex tandems.

I RECENTLY took the ferry from North Shields to Amsterdam, and I paid extra for a cabin with a sea view. However, when I looked out at it, the sea finished at the horizon about half way up the window. The top half of the view was just sky. I think I should be refunded at least 50% of the extra I paid.

DOES ANYONE know if the Cantina off of Star Wars was CIU-affiliated? I didn’t see anyone check if Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker were members.

And it would have been a great scene if they’d stayed to play the Tote Bingo and won the meat raffle.
