Baffled that no one has yet cast Pamela Anderson in a cosy crime series.

I have been added to my cat's WhatsApp group. The whole street has a group so they all know where he is and who has given him treats already. He has a better social life than me as proven by the fact that this is the first group chat I've ever been in.

"You come up with a slogan for the ice cream shop?" "Sure did boss, real fuckin haunting just like you asked." "what"

I will only respect this if the person larping as the ocean occasionally just demands the lives of some innocent sailors www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

“And Sam, you’re the ocean trustee for today, anything to add for this proposal?” Yes, shut down the lighthouse “…sorry, what?” Abandon the lighthouse. I hunger for cargo and human lives. It has been long since I have eaten. Man has encroached on my domain. Fear me. “OK, Sam. Any other business?”

Kind of wonderful that one of Sam Neill's final screen credits is playing a potty-mouthed magpie in this determinedly weird Aussie film. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XEZ...

Went looking for the toilet in this shopping mall, ended up in the Backrooms.

One of my neighbours has this excellent flag.

Am sure Mitch McConnell will want to give a long and eloquent tribute to his longtime Senate colleague Lindsey Graham. Any moment now...

Is it terrible that this was the first thing I thought of, too?

I dated one of the dozens of writers on Dr. Who. We had an ugly break up. Ten years later, I see a new alien enemy whose character name is my last name.

Now, the thing is, I think Gareth Roberts' Doctor Who episodes were all very good. He nailed the juxtaposition of the domestic with the fantastical that was the hallmark of the RTD era, and made Corden's character genuinely affecting. Which makes his subsequent trajectory all the more depressing.

🧵 Amid all the speculation about Nigel Farage's 2pm statement, it's worth noting paragraph 40 of the Procedural Protocol to the MPs' Code of Conduct. If he announces he's resigning and seeking a by-election, that would not automatically end the investigation into whether he breached the Code in...

So, does this end the investigation into Farage's finances? Or does that start up again if/when he gets voted back in?

What did the people of Clacton do to deserve this?

Instead of fireworks, why not scare your neighbors the old fashioned way? Grow out your antlers and fangs, cultivate a thunderous beard of moss, haunt the night, and become a terrifying creature of legend and lore.

“And before you say it, yes, we’ve tried nets over the windows, which is how we lost two dogs and a toddler back in 2015. ‘Mystery disappearance’ my arse. We all knew what did it. We told them. But they don’t believe you, do they?” precastreinforced.co.uk/2025/08/21/f...

Never let the cynics and naysayers grind you down. You *can* have it all at once.

Me with Elijah Wood, Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal.

A formative cinematic memory for me is the time my mum took me to see ID4 at the Savoy in Dublin. People clapped. Someone shouted "Nuke the fuckers!"

When I worked in ITV Pres there was the legend of the freelance continuity announcer who lost track of which company he was working for that day. He began with a confident, "Good morning. You're watching... (sudden panicky pause, quick recovery) television!"

Four of the best. RIP.

Terrible news. His Doctor Who novels were a huge part of my growing up - honestly, he was my Terrance Dicks. I re-read System Shock until it disintegrated, then bought it again and read it some more. RIP.

If they could've dyed the water beige, they would've.

I was telling someone this week that the reason the older lines are so hot is London is built on clay. 160+ years of heat from trains has slowly seeped into the clay. The ground surrounding it is now 12C hotter than when it opened. We're being cooked by our history.
