One reason why the world needs outward facing organisations like the #BBCWorldService that take the global view.

Much to enjoy about this, but I think the 'you used to be there' hand gesture is my favourite and even more enjoyable than the original 'well, if you're gonna set me up' response.

I think Arsenal have just tried the "old up'n'under", as Eddie Waring might have said.

I accidentally stopped a $600m US tax fraud. The British fugitive behind it now says he’ll sue me for $120m. It sounds like a joke - but there are 3,000 victims. Thread:

Annoyed. A show I was looking forward to hearing turns out to be a duffer. Gahhh ... 😠

I hope this starts a trend to bin the pointless music in other TV shows.

This is appalling and totally unsurprising. All populists attack the press and rely on their own personal media to spread their propaganda. It should be resisted at every turn.

Poor David Attenborough. This is like when your family betray you and tell the waiter it’s your birthday. And they come out with a piece of chocolate cake with a sparkler in it and sing Happy Birthday. That, but times ten thousand.

“David Attenborough! All I ever hear is David Bloody Attenborough!”

Political goons shut down a stand-up gig

Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!

Well Sykes wasn't in it and I'm no nearer to understanding which bit of a badger is its drift. Still, Barnaby and Troy solved the case, which was nice.

I'm here to watch Sykes 😁

This is good. People have been nice about it. Maybe you can be, too! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

And the woman did speak unto the hound, saying, What do you mean, normal men, and the hound answered the woman, saying, We are just innocent men. And great was her emotion

Another day, another sickly Cyrus One arrives for the workbench. This one looks as if it's previously been attended to by Messrs Bodgit & Scarper having failed to master any real directional control of a soldering iron thus melting the electrolytics sleeve but then failing to solder it in at all!

The only bright pixel in this rotten news is that for once the headline writers could have used the word "decimate" correctly ..... seems they've shunned the opportunity.😔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

(PS I didn't talk of "super bugs" anywhere in my recent series on antibiotic resistance, though the BBC did chuck the meaningless term into the series title.)

Well at least Viktor Orbán is free to headline Wireless next year.

This advert outside my local Pret is way too sophisticated for me. Or should that read "... treats"? 🤔😁

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" ― Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut.

The audio splats on the NASA commentary are really annoying

Tuned into The Artemis II live stream to hear that their Go Pro is misbehaving. No surprise. Can't help feeling the astronauts should have more important things to worry about.
