I thoroughly enjoyed, and would read again, those fantasy books about a young boy who lives with his uncaring family, discovers he has magical powers, takes a train to an unusual boarding school, befriends a boy and girl his own age, and learns to live with his newfound abilities. Great author too.

Lord of the Rings movies will continue until morale improves

Here are 5 menswear outfits to make recruitment officers think you're 43 🧵

@geekpie.bsky.social Hello I watched Eastenders. I think Oscar is too tall for the sets.

Made a brief sojourn onto Facebook and it has served me up a photo of some Birmingham slums from the 1930s. Standard nostalgia masturbators in the replies wanking over how much "better" it all was then about how "the council" destroyed it all. Really want to slap them.

Honestly tho. Something like eight years since it was first mooted, three years since it was officially announced, a ten-episode first season, with an abrupt "fuck off, you're done" before the second season even streams. What even was the point.

I looked in the comments on the statement about Igor Tudor’s father on Instagram.

There's the Rooks Trilogy (more for grown ups due to adult protagonists & a bit more swearing). A family who run a ghost hunting business from their Ford Focus stumble upon the manager of the universe's plot to end the world in an abandoned off season seaside town! farragobooks.com/book/wish-yo...

To everyone who doesn't want to see the face of the US president, we have a labeler now! bsky.app/profile/face...

@sharal.bsky.social Happy birthday! 🎉

!

I have just put the lowest-quality cardboard pizza in the oven, because Lidl no longer sell the one I like. They always do this to me, fuck them and their substandard coupons.

Wow how many more plastic surgeries is Jim Carrey having in the next 12 months?

On days such as these it’s very important for us to come together and overlook City’s crooked accounting.

Well at least today has had one upside.

I can’t listen to the second half. Fuck Michael Oliver and all who sail in his anus.

Absolutely bent beyond all belief. #COYS

A production assistant on the 2022-23 series of University Challenge:

#COYS!

I don’t have Sky or Now TV so haven’t seen SNL UK. 🧵 In this review I will (1/51)

I’m sure there are a lot of periodicals round the globe kicking themselves for missing out on this “world exclusive”.

Matchday! The only cup final anyone cars about is happening at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium Game (non-score) predictions please 🙏 Here's mine Kick off delayed by 30 min as the coach does a right at the Sainsburys local not the "big" Sainsburys due to the smoke screen from all the flares #COYS

Oh dear, that’s too much Lea Michele. #musicsky

Spurs play today

Got overcharged on the bus the other day. The process of getting a refund from National Express involves sending an *enquiry* about why you *think* you have been overcharged (after navigating through several screens explaining the many reasons why people *think* they have been overcharged)...

This took 16 minutes with the app open but overall it took me nearly five fucking hours. I just beat The 1% Club in 16:20. Think you can do better? Play now at telegraph.co.uk/puzzles

i promise you that whatever you think will happen next won't

Come on, Japan! 🇯🇵 #WAC2026

Keep seeing adverts everywhere from Crosscountry showing off their refurbished Voyagers. Nobody likes Voyagers, lads, this is why everyone hates Crosscountry.

Watching the Frankie's Shelf video about the AI (allegedly etc etc etc) book and very pleased to hear some Matt Haig shade.

Oh no, not "they is doing Sharia Law on are doorstep!!!" nutjob Chuck Norris.

Are we inching closer to an emergency COYS charity single?

SHOW UP. SING UP. STAY UP Welcome the team as the coach arrives. 12:00 – High Road build-up 12:45–13:00 – Coach arrival Then South Concourse – take it into the stand Spread out from White Hart Lane to Sainsbury’s. Bring your colours. Bring the noise. All together, always 🤍

Ah, the Grandad Roberts & His Son Elvis b-side.

This week’s Skircle marks one year since popular spoons player Eddie Jordan died.

I’ve never seen or read any variation of Dune.

Talking to eldest nephew and he's just rattling off the names of Pokémon.

@beckabites.bsky.social I don’t know what to say. The studio recording is… reasonable. playbill.com/article/hear...

I usually have a chuckle at those Yes, But comics (especially the cat ones) but just saw one where the artist doesn’t understand basic principles of consent. Loads of people in the replies saying “erm, consent?” and yet the comic remains up with no comment from the artist.

Well what an absolutely delightful performance. #COYS

THREE MORE COME ON

PELENALTY

Skimming the match stats on the BBC... there's possession from us... shots... attempts... passes. It's like good football is being played. What is this feeling?

Xavi!!
