I offer this one to the crowd... Can anyone have a guess at this irish place name written on the UK 1871 census? Could be a township, a village or a town. Any clues gratefully received :-)

I expect King Charles will be all "Kingier-than-thou" today.

We need to talk about the latest version of (so-called) Quality Street. #BritainHasFallen

The day's angriest vocal warmup.

Wow. I didn't know Katya from Strictly had such an interesting back story...

In today's paper: the ten earliest lists of 'ten best' lists of random stuff in 2025 that someone wfh did in their underpants in the box room with a hangover to fill space that might otherwise involve reporting stuff.

EDITOR: "Get me some wildlife experts NOW for a trajectory opinion quote - and have we heard back from that glazier?"

It is now theoretically possible to be the Man Who Shopped for a Liberty Valance.

I can't believe people don't think 'The Shining' is a Christmas film. All that snow - and a magical maze.

I just saw Chris Rea checking his tyre pressures.

Look at the money lavished on that set, though. It's only a shame the titling text isn't in Comic Sans.

That's the toilet brush I'd like for Christmas, thx.

Not gonna lie, I was desperately hoping this article had been written by a bloke

I had fifteen quid on 'Party Of Your'. Gutted.

God knows I've vehemently disagreed with many politicians in my voting life, but I have honestly never known a generation of politicians so lacking in basic political talent or ethics as this one. Right across the board.

More of an art installation, really...

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WALLPAPER?

The trouble with national self-harm is that it really, actually harms the nation.

I was going to comment on the news about the latest UK political party, but I've now fallen out with myself.

Awww Jimmy. The Harder They Come was a soundtrack of my teens. x

Have we not reached peak budget speculation yet? I anticipate predictions of a return to sumptuary laws and window taxes before Thursday...

It's been obvious for years that many social media accounts are foreign trolls. The tragedy has been the utter complacency about it. All an enemy had to do was tinkle a little bell and the dumb doggies would bark away at each other. Why bother with a nuclear arsenal?

The Martian (2015)

Same.

Say what you like about their incompetence, but they show admirable skill at the long political suicide note.

There is still love. Loads of it. Don't despair. xxxx

This one? Like a condom filled with mackeral paté. Happy to help.

👏👏👏

One of those quiet and consistently brilliant feeds.

GIVE ME A CAMEL TAXI SERVICE NOW.

"Crucifixion?" "Nah, freedom for me" "Oh jolly good, off you go then"

Charisma. Not rocket science, a dirty word, or a fart at a genteel dinner party. A vessel in which less base ideals can be communicated to the heart. Present at every piece of progress ever made by society. Politics, like all human drama, is laden with theory, but realised in the heart and gut.

Despite stating that I would do anything for love with one important exception, I find ultimately that I would, indeed, do that.

One of the best things I've seen in ages. Superb. #ENO

Yes, your credibility. That untarnished jewel of a thing.

Typical. Just looked on the BBC News website, and there's absolutely NOTHING about what might have happened to the Transylvania Twist.

Lol I just asked Grok whether Grokipedia is more neutral than Wikipedia and even it can't lie about this

The OG #NoKings 😜 Really looking forward to this - a brilliant new BBC History Extra podcast series from @rebeccarideal.bsky.social @histfest.bsky.social! Also, I recorded a little cameo as the Colchester-born writer Margaret Cavendish 💁🏻‍♀️ play.megaphone.fm/quvuyhkqs66t...

oh stop MOANING

The percentage fall in the Peso will depend on what Oasis cover he's singing...

If he goes out one more time and then shakes it all about, he'll pass the citizenship test due to advanced knowledge of the U.Ks national dance, the 'Hokey Cokey'.

Self-harm really hurts, actually.

The camel is the headline to a carefully crafted article about horses.

No fee, I'm afraid.

ChatGPT is currently answering all of my verbal queries in Welsh (a known bug, apparently). I must say, I find the prospect of a Skynet-style hostile superintelligence a little less daunting when it comes in the form of an accidental housewife from Rhyl.
