Default Prime Minister for a day

Everybody to be given an Actifry.

Carrots & Parsnips 'roasted' in one are to die for.

If I were prime minister for the day I would give a kick up the butt to all the lazy good for nothings who think scrounging off the tax payer is the way to do it!
Then I would go have tea with the queen to end the afternoon!

If I were Prime Minister for a day, the only thing I would do would be to create a highly-trained paramilitary force, with powers of summary conviction, confiscation, incarceration and probably even execution of their targets. This crack team would have one solitary purpose, and they would be known and feared throughout the land....

Except for smaller ones with no number pads, all computer keyboards should be the same.

For five years I've been using a laptop with the delete button above right of the enter key. Now it's to the left and I'm hitting 'home' and typing at the beginning instead of where I should be.

The last button on the Qwerty row is now the last one on the second row. So the last one on the second row, right next the big enter key and above the big shift, one that was easy to just hit because of its easy to find position now gives the wrong result.

And the left shift is now a small shift instead of the big one with an extra button instead meaning either a | or a \ appears as well as a capital letter.

Weirdly, the button sharing the space of what was a bigger left shift is a duplicate of the one that dropped a row.

Did this ever happen with typewriters?

A ban on people becoming famous for being famous.

No celebrity status accorded to anyone just for being on a so called reality TV show.

Out of respect for yourself and others they only things you should take on board is your jacket and things that can fit into your jacket pockets.

Your thinking is on the right lines but flawed, not an actifry but a Tfal Fry Delight. Chips, parsnips, all brilliant but you can also roast a whole chicken in it and it's yummy. With that and my Instant Pot i rarely use the cooker.
