I never thought I’d say this but, I’m cancelling Jimmy Kimmel. For a week.

Just left my shoes outside the evangelical church with a note saying “apparently it was just me who was good enough soz”.

Think I’m going to get a lot of use out of this.

I always have to remind myself that Fetterman is from a fairly well-off, upper middle-class background. There's a line in Alan Johnson's biography about how all the working class young activists in Labour wear suits and the middle-class ones dress casually and that's stuck with me a lot.

You couldn’t make Father Ted today because if you do someone would go “this is literally just a shot for shot remake of Father Ted”.

There's a certain myopic, Little Englander, public school bullying about the Eye that borders on conspiratorialism but at the end of the day it's just establishment, dinner party, bigotry.

"Seldom! SELDOM! Oh fuck, he's got one!" www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/cele...

We used to be a proper country.

I genuinely didn't realise that Tylenol is just the stupid American brand name for paracetamol. I'd assumed it was some sort of maternity drug or something that would at least have a vaguely plausible (if stupid) anti-vax link to it.

Did some lamb and cranberry meatballs and they were laaaarvly.

Gatwick expansion gf, Heathrow expansion bf.

I love Gatwick Airport. Its elegant perimeter road, its state-of-the-art monorail system, its kerosene-stuffed aeroplanes soaring overhead like aluminium eagles. It’s the London airport it’s OK to like.

Elizabeth just yelled "did you see..." and I interjected with "yeah, Gatwick Airport expansion" just so you know how absolutely fucking insufferable we are, 24/7.

I love how there’s only two type of Jazz Record Requests. It’s either “my wife and I danced to this at the Bexley Liberal Club in 1957 and we’ve been happily married ever since” or, “I played this to my illicite gay lover in a Soho bedsit as he was slowly dying. It was the last time I smiled”.

Great if depressing watch. I've taken the Ocean myself and even in 2014 you very much had the impression that it was starting to fall to bits. Stripping away the things like the catering removes any real purpose of the bloody thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2MG...

Going through some old photos and yes this is a good one. One (shared) braincell.

Still think there’s a universe where I get on Strictly as the former Shadow Chancellor and go out in week five having done the jive to “Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There”.

This is getting to Hearts of Iron mod where you reunite Russia as a warlord, collapse, and have another sixteen successor states re-emerge levels. The Holy Your Party Redemption Authority.

I think the main reason why Strictly is still doing so well is that it’s one of the only shows on the television that’s genuinely intergenerational. Very few programmes where you still just sit down with the family on a Saturday to watch it.

This deserved more.

This is my happy place folks. Real ale, a nice pub, live jazz. Yes. Normalise this.

-Well Seymour it appears that we’ve put together a left wing insurgent movement, and I was wondering, is it Your Party? -Yes! Not the pronoun but rather a man with the unusual name of ‘Your’ leads the party.

Can we just making smoking socially acceptable again because a proper tobacconist just looks a million times better than a vape shop.

We agreed it was a draw.

Ah. The three genders.

Urgh. I hate having the memorise the room number before eating the tag.

Love it when people update their posters.

BORF

Love a nice bit of hake.

Painting the centre of Tirana in bright colours to try and cheer everyone up after the government had lost all their pension funds on a series of Ponzi schemes is now only the second stupidest thing the Albanian government have done.

You want me to show this to the penguin, and have the penguin tell you what it is? 'Cause the penguin’s gonna get it!

Next series of Last Week Tonight is going to be broadcast from a trawler off Nova Scotia.

“A false membership system has been unilaterally launched”

Imber Bus!

Nice to see Melania entering her creepypasta era.

The Nine Questions Hanging Over The Assassination: 1. Why Was He In Sarajevo? 2. What Happened At Mayerling? 3. Did He Support The Cisleithanian Option? 4. Were The Okhrana Involved? 5. Were The Archduke's Telegrams Intercepted? 6. Was The Marriage Legal? 7. Did The Driver Take The Wrong Turning?

The UK is nothing like Weimar Germany, we don't make any decent films, for starters.

I think we've managed to out-do the 9/11 skit from The Day Today DVD. "Coming up next, what is a hijacked aircraft and HOW DOES IT CRASH?".

Made a little smoked haddock pie for dinner.

I doubt I'll ever go to one but I have always wondered what the food is actually like at a State Banquet. My assumption has always been that it's basically fine but ultimately jumped up wedding catering. The wine probably saves it.

Under the terms that people invented last weekend for another protest I think we can conclude that the actual number here was between 50,000 and 150,000.
