Great to see Tonga Kofe taking on big brand Costa... 💪☕

Tight-head props Tonga Kofe (USA) and Antonio Prim da Costa (Portugal) going head to head in a recent World Rugby Nations Cup game.

And to think they could have had Count Binface all to themselves. 🗑️🤦‍♀️

I absolutely adore the #Wallabies shirt, with artwork that's decorated the island for millennia. 🥰

Monsieur Le Ted's been on the cabernet sauvignon again. Obviously celebrating the Jalibert/Ntamack pairing. 🥂🐻

Ellie@wokeellie· Jul 9

France is having a wet dream right now: Jalibert and Ntamack SELECTED! The rugby gods' faces are everywhere... and the two most gorgeous fellas in rugby make for happy droolscrolling. Even male vidcasters are commenting, one holding up a pic of Romain every time he mentions "handsome Matthieu" lol.

Snippet from Wiki's "Resignation from the House of Commons of the United Kingdom" page. NF may not be released until an MP is elected to the post - and he can't seek his planned re-election until he's released from duty. And that's all in Labour's hands. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resigna...

Notice and orders

An MP applies for the office to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who usually then signs a warrant appointing the MP to the Crown
office. The appointee holds the office until such time as another MP is appointed, or they apply to be released. Sometimes this can be
a matter of minutes, as on an occasion when three or more MPs apply on the same day. Once released, they are again free to seek
election to the House of Commons.

If the young France team are "les Bluets" and Italy "gli Azzurri" (both "little blues"), are the Australian Wallabies called Joeys?

Oh happy days! 🤣😂🤣 World Rugby Junior World Championship👇 #Ireland💚🍀

I've been stressing about getting Toulouse... 😭 ... but I've just realised we don't play the team from the same nation! 😳🥳 All the best! I've now placed Tigers in my Top Deux and won't cry (much) if (in your dreams) you beat us in the final. 🤝😉 #DatabaseQueen

It's weird looking at the screen! I feel as though my head's jerking left to right and back again, yet it's perfectly still. I wonder if aliens are playing Pong with my brain...

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 29

I've no idea what the previous post was; they were automatically blocked by a MAGA blocker. I'd also blocked this nasty POS but went looking just for you lol. What a vile excuse of a human that timeline is! 🤮

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 27

It would be nice if we had a leader who could "handshake" like this and follow it up with a shoulder bump without looking a complete robotic arse. Especially when he's half their size...

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 27

Wow! I can watch both internationals at once! Too much?! 😉

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 27

If you fancy a bit of live rugby so you don't have to move for hours in a heatwave, two Under 20s matches are about to kick off. Other nations; games are at staggered times throughout the day FREE on rugbypass.tv. That's me not moving... 🍿😁🍹

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 26

The use of the word "heatwave" over the past hundred years. Special thanks to the online Collins English Dictionary, who then bombarded me with ads for aircon! 🥳

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 26

Thanks for reposting @patrick-barlow.bsky.social! 👍 And thank you @squidgerugby.bsky.social for slipping our old man Levani into your video! The Fijians bring their own fire and delight. 🥰 Fun fact: Dakuwaqa is a Fijian shark deity and often appears as a fierce sea monster, guarding the islands.

Is Ted taking a siesta or does he have cognac in that flask? 🐻

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 25

I was reading the Wiki page for them and they tend to live in scattered pockets, within their own gene pools. We're probably witnessing the development of separate species in this very thread.

Genetic population structure

The population sizes of P. phalangioides are influenced greatly by the presence of human-made buildings since these spiders prefer
warmer habitats indoors. The large number of buildings in the world has favoured P. phalangioides, though populations tend to be
relatively small, widely dispersed, and greatly isolated from one another. This small size combined with low mobility of populations
results in an increased importance placed on the role of genetic drift, more specifically the founder effect, on population structure.
Although some gene flow does exist between populations, its importance has been insignificant when compared to that of
geographical isolation-driven genetic drift. As a result, most P. phalangioides individuals of the same population that live in the same
geographical region will have a very low degree of genetic variation (intrapopulation differentiation). On the other hand, this genetic
drift results in significant interpopulation differentiation.

It's got a beautifully marked body. I thought ours were more of a pearl body but I got a pic and they're similar, though not as distinctly marked. I love their little knees.

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 25

Oof! My earphones are dangling from my laptop - and touched my foot as I scrolled down to that! I didn't know I could get out of this bucket chair so quickly! He's a lot smaller, a Pholcus phalangioides, and I've just seen what he will look like, thanks to Wiki! 😱😂

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 25

I love the heart-shaped head. Mine's a corn snake - here he is in a plastic shopping bag lol. I left it in the hallway after shopping and he stayed in there for two days. I've now put it in a corner for him to hide in. This is his nervous "Oh no, she's found me" look.

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 22

I like googling acronyms. I usually take the first one and apply that to the sentence. 😁

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 18

Confirmation! Edith was living in Vancouver when she died. Her obituary confirms son John and a grandson James. I can't find anything more for either John or James; recent docs are fewer. The funeral directors for Edith are still extant so they may be able to help. www.legacy.com/funeral-home...

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 18

That might be a bit of a task! Edith Muriel Selwyn Hind, Alexander's wife, died in 1999 in Vancouver. Was son John there or, as she was born there, visiting other family at 96? The last confident record of John is in 1968, living with his parents in Ealing.

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 18

And one last treat! The family of three sailed from Las Palmas, Argentina, back to London in 1928 (The ship's log shows ports of call: La Plata; Las Palmas; Vigo; St Vincent.)

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 18

Alexander married Edith M. S. Hind in 1939 and had a son, John D. Smalley, in 1945. It may be possible to track the family from there. And the missing 1921 Census for Alexander? He was a boarder at Bradfield College.

Ellie@wokeellie· Jun 18

Henry's son Alexander did go into the forces. He was an Aeronautical Inspector on the Sep 1939 Register (80 Eastwood Road) but the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve records him as a lieutenant from Oct 1928 (published Feb 1939 Feb, column 1).

There's a Wiki page for the Regiment. Infortunately, the Surrey Infantry Museum was based at Clandon Park House, near Guildford, until it was destroyed in a fire in April 2015. The War Museum or National Archives may have more information. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Su...
