Kids will be kids, so tell them that the school bus windows are only held in with blue tac. Window fell out of top floor of a double decker on my way to school along a dual carriageway once, fortunately without kid following but he didn't fuck around near a window again www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'In this crazy world, what are your hopes for 2026 Jo?' one might ask. Well I'm wondering if maybe this'll be the year I figure out what to do with my arms when I'm sleeping on my side.

What a weird name for a dog. But sorry for their loss.

The Queen knew. She fucking knew.

1-3 of the alternatives is always yes, obviously.

I don't think it's going to challenge Nigella - but, inspired by Greggs, yesterday I made a 'leftovers slice'; layer of cold meat, layer of cranberry jelly, layer of pre cooked sausagemeat, layer of bacon, layer of stuffing all wrapped in puff pastry and shoved in the oven for half hour. 10/10.

Do any Private Eye readers still have their copy containing the EJ Thribb poem about Dickie Bird? It'd be very handy for the Christmas crossword, which I'm having a bash at as part of my lifelong project to learn not be shit at cryptic crosswords. I won't be challenging for the cash prize...

Wisdom from the old man

Seen this go past a lot and never mind for/against, the fact is if the CA were an even half competent organisation, they would have spent the last 20 years making sure that hunts were acting within the law. This tightening/progression has happened because people consistently took the piss (1/)

Happy holidays! Probably my favorite stop-motion from the past few years. Really enjoyed creating this one.

I feel like every year I say this to somebody who's hearing it for the first time. I've told two people so far this week, even though on a clear day you can already tell the evenings are drawing out

I will always repost this - it's just so perfect

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Not University Challenge asking a question about Fu Manchu moustaches to a team including the only one I've seen on a real life person...

I won’t even walk across the office to see a coworker’s new baby. Nothing in the world could get me to ride a camel across the desert to deliver essential oils to a newborn in a barn

I was Mary at playschool - talk about peaking early. Then entire primary school career was the narrator due to being able to read out loud without being physically painful to listen to. Non nativity wise, a highlight was being a stick in 3 Little Pigs (we had to fall over when the wolf blew, obvs)

Sometimes people make a post like this and it's a bit 'yeah, that was one of the dozen likely things'. This however is truly insane.

ok kudos to the team. i thought this was pretty streamlined

Me and my mate Steve were doing Christmas hand puppets earlier. Mary and Joseph looked slim on my hands but Good King Wenceslas looked stout on the fist of Steven.

Mindboggling: how some of the most vulnerable people in Britain face what can only be described as outrageous abuse by the private providers whom the NHS outsources critical care services like wheelchairs to. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Hard to pick a favourite - is it 2 baths in one room? Is it no bed in Bed 2? Is it all the sinks in the great room or the total lack of actual kitchen in the area labelled kitchen?

I’m starting #Whamtastic - every time you hear Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’ naturally you get points. Team up with 4 or 5 other people and who ever has most points gets a Toblerone from the others.

And I'd trust her with my life.

A secondary school friend has just posted that it's 25 years since her sibling passed away; and what the hell is time that it was 25 years ago that I went to that funeral?! Is the whole of adulthood just hearing numbers that sound physically impossible?

Sign of the times that when waking up to the headline ‘England Collapses Overnight’ I had to check it was definitely about the cricket. 🏏 #MAshes

Without asylum: Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist Queen would have been without a front man The other queen wouldn't have had a husband Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

Point 9 - their samples melted. Of all the days you'd be looking forward to receiving evidence for your case, you choose the hottest day of the year.

Boxes of Roses and Whiskas for kittens, Discounts on kettles and M&S mittens That lovely young man who sang "fried onion rings" I think non white people can advertise things

This is one of those "huh, this all looks fairly ordinary, I don;t see what...oh fucking hell" things, like a far, far worse version of those Rightmove listings where a semi in Dunstable turns out to show the word SLAG painted on the shed.

This reminds me of the thread (I hope it was here, but it might have been in the last days of twitter) from the person who had a dog who used to 'go to work' in her home office with her, and when the dog passed their other dog who'd never done it and had been a rescue took over the role

A 40hr week at national minimum wage of £12.21 an hour is £25,396.80 per year. The Living Wage Foundation calculates the 'real living wage' outside of London is £13.45, so the 40hr week would get you £27,976; and at their London rate £30,784. As if the racism and the cruelty wasn't enough.

My colleague sent me their leaflet 😭 so good

If a Kimmel be thy Jim You can make some time for him But if thy Jim a Fallon be That guy stinks, ugh, blech, pew-ee

Another triumphant human interaction for me today - called a client, she answered and said she'd call me straight back from a different phone My Brain: 'Speak soon' My Mouth: That's fine, see you soon' Up there with the time I said 'you're welcome' instead of thank you when handed a cup of tea.

This is very interesting, on both how easy it (apparently) is to just...set up claiming to be something; but also on the hazards of the copy & paste articles churned out by so many newspaper sites these days

Are your standards too high, or do the 18th century fictional gentlemen with enormous country estates and kind eyes simply need to step 👏 up 👏
