isn’t “puppy smuggling” also a euphemism for wearing a sweater over large breasts? or is that just something my internet-poisoned brain has invented?

I mean they definitely touch up pictures all the time and that’s considered fine so it must be something egregious enough for multiple editors of the most respected (for better or worse) photographic agencies in the world to pull them.
I believe the official reason is that the sweater of the girl on the right (no idea of their names, not going to learn now) doesn’t line up properly with her hand. There’s also some weird blurring issue with the hand clasping the jumper on the left but I haven’t seen that cited as an official cause for the retraction.

When I lived in Chester I walked past the racecourse when the races were on once and realised even if I’d wanted to place a bet I would have been linguistically unable to do so, all the terms and jargon were so completely alien to me. Literally could not understand what the odds meant or who was supposed to win or what situation was supposed to happen, absolutely bewildering.

lmao this reminded me the one time I did do a bet was at the dog track visiting my then-girlfriend’s family in Ireland, the 10-year-old child was ferrying bets and winnings back and forth and I put a couple of euro down “both ways” I think? I won five or ten euro and everyone was very impressed and I’m like, I dunno I just bet what the kid suggested

Will apart from that keyboard I bought and had to replace like two months later because muggins here spilled an entire pint of beer into it because I'd carelessly put it in the path of rotation for my chair.
I had a Logitech wireless keyboard / trackpad for controlling the living room media PC that lasted for years and years, even after I spilled a good portion of curry into it.

The Oxbridge Rail Project would massively help this but that's currently struggling with NIMBYs, some with good reason (the aforementioned long commute for any available housing).
Nobody I know would ever consider buying a new build anyway because they’re all made of wet sand and Lego
