People say itâs odd that governments still use Twitter/X to communicate, but itâs only like how the John Major government announced its ongoing Maastricht negotiations through the readersâ erotic stories pages in Men Only magazine.

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

Farage, Polanski and Corbyn's choices are all good, Davey's is a typical boring dad choice, and Badenoch's response is characteristically unhinged

Cecilia GimĂ©nez, famed for âMonkey Christâ mural mishap, dies at 94
Spanish womanâs attempted restoration of church artwork was widely mocked but became lucrative tourist attraction Cecilia GimĂ©nez, the woman who achieved unwanted international fame for her botched âMonkey Christâ restoration of a 19th-century mural in Borja, north-east Spain, has died aged 94. In 2012, GimĂ©nez, an amateur artist, decided to restore Ecce Homo, a mural by a local artist, ElĂas GarcĂa MartĂnez, that hung in the Santuario de Misericordia church in Borja. However, her talent as an artist was not equal to her good intentions and she produced what was described as the worst restoration in history. Continue reading...

Not sure people are getting the real importance of the Russians fooling Trump about the Ukrainians attacking Putin's house. It was to demonstrate just how much they control his thinking--how much he is in their pocket. And it worked.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Tiny reform that could make life easier: allow birth registration in borough of residence, rather than that of birth. Nevertheless, itâs v Christmassy to be taking a long multi-modal journey on a cold day, in order to undertake census duties in the borough of birth, on orders of Caesar Hollandus.

Top Adrian Chiles Columns of 2025: Iâve given up wild swimming. So why does my Volvo smell like mince? Should I tell the postman he has halitosis? My first wife wouldnât let me wear shorts. I buried my father with my bare hands. Itâs time we stopped talking about glamping. 1/3

Why is the writing on shampoo bottles getting smaller? Baboons stole my plimsolls at Longleat.    Halloumi makes my teeth squeak. So why have my children hidden my culottes? £12 for a jar of coffee? I got my forearm stuck in a fruit machine in Powys. 2/3

Should I ask my dentist to stop wearing sandals? I was shunned by a horse in Chepstow. Why do workmen refuse my offers of tea? Compression socks give me eczema. I blocked the pub toilet. Now my dog barks when I say Dundee. 3/3

âTakes a jobâ. If people do not understand what it is to be instructed under the cab rank rule, it would do a lot for discourse if they could kindly either learn or stop showing their ignorance. Ideally both.
