Speak for Europe, Rory

I woke up this morning and said, "Internet, I'm sad. Can you help me find some happy?" The internet said, "Good. You should be sad. Frankly, we're all doomed and I didn't know how to tell you."

the secret:

There’s an even bigger conspiracy and it goes even deeper. It turns out that well over half of Parliament and thousands of councillors around the country are all members of a leftist organisation called “The Labour Party”.

Happy 200th birthday to the modern locomotive railway!

Good morning. Here's Gareth Hunt demonstrating the dangers of trying to work whist nursing the mother of all hangovers.

Well don't I feel stupid

In local news. Motive: to incite hatred. Evidence: none at all.

This only happens to you once

I regret to announce that a state of war now exists between Ireland and the Radio Times.

I interviewed her for a rate rebate in 1979 in the Sheffield town hall 'eggbox'. She qualified - which proves that you don't earn much as a witch. I was 20.

What if Hegseth got wasted enough to believe it was a good idea to Prigozhin the boss, called the generals, sobered up and now has to think of some plausibly momentous announcement

Things are not always what they appear

They're vaxing the cats, they're vaxing the dogs!

Try not to scream.

You say hepatitas, I say hepatitoes. Hepatitas, hepatitoes, hepatitoes, hepatitas, let’s call the whole thing off.

goth af tho

an admin so self destructive their only real peer is the Khmer Rouge

Same.

Bryan Ferry is 80 today. Here he is, typically jaded by the pleasures life insists on forcing on him.

“In May, Hegseth signed a memo directing a ‘minimum’ 20% reduction in the number of four-star generals and admirals across the active-duty force.“ Let me guess. They will be asked to take an oath of personal loyalty to Trump at this secret meeting and the 20% will come from those who refused.

Man had balls of steel. 🥃

“So he bound his own hands and hanged himself. Obviously suicide. What do you say, Renko?” “Well…”

Is it "move to Dubai"?

Sam is _very_ excited about this poll.

Big news! Huge! Like massive super chunky news!

As ever it's the novel which is the problem.

If the government could come up with a form of ID that would let me access the HMRC without giving my name, address, height, favourite rock band, solving Fermat’s Last Theorem, going on a quest to find Shangri-La, and writing a Nobel-winning novel, I’d be cautiously in favour of it.

Escalators are antifa.

I do not want to quote anything in particular from this article, but I *do* want to point out that unchecked, uncontrolled growth which steals resources from surrounding tissue is commonly called a tumor.

It should be noted here that Lee Zeldin is not a climate scientist, or even any kind of scientist at all. That's how we're rolling now.

We might be amenable to reignite the Whiskey War between Canada and Danemark if it serves the greater good.... But let's bring in the Commonwealth and the EU this time, he would just LOVE to litigate a world war. canadiangeographic.ca/articles/can...

Here's a more direct link. Helplessly howling now.

"I'm Illegal, Get Me Out Of Here"

“The President says hemorrhoids are caused by tiny little witches that get into your house at night down the chimney. Where do you fall on this?” “The President is exactly right.”

They should call it The Great British Identity Card. Everyone would love it then. Every week, the British Public™️ could vote someone off the Card. Mel & Sue could host the weekly programme, maybe with cheeky asides from Michael McIntyre.

“Last night I saw Madness play a gig in Denmark.” ”Aarhus?” “Yeah, and Baggy Trousers”.

“The President has had to walk up some steps, after an escalator stopped working. It is not yet clear if he will survive.”

Elon Musk is the sort of guy we used to have James Bond to protect us from.

«Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker—published almost exactly 70Y ago in April 1955—features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist & rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!» Source: x.com/ChrisO_wiki/...

My money’s on Cumberbatch…

How not to illustrate the similarity of bone structures between humans & horses.

Someting rotors in the state of Denmark was right there.

Yeah, yeah. OK.

Did you know that Koi fish always travel in groups of 4. If attacked, Koi A, B, and C will scatter, leaving behind the D Koi. 🐟🐟🐟 🐟

Got about two-thirds of the way through this good article about a very good actor, and reached the bit about making The Princess Bride, and I hit the sentence ‘Shooting in Sheffield,’ and…wtaf? They made The Princess Bride in Sheffield?
