I ate 2 scotch eggs earlier and I’m here to tell you it wasn’t a good idea.

tempt them back to room with banana

Fred Dibnah.

I didn’t know he was still laying.

Found a secret door in the back of my washing machine. Behind it a tiny room with rows of mice fast asleep in odd-sock sleeping bags.

I watched 3 episodes of King & Conqueror last night and it’s very good. I noted a few things 1) It doesn’t have any filthy sex like Game of Thrones did. That might be because it’s set in an earlier time period. Chaucer and Boccaccio invented filthy sex later. 1/?

Words fail me. Has this man not been pandering to Reform voters for months now? Give people something worth supporting. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Tony Harrison RIP I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades. Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

I do have a lot of respect for Menzies Campbell but Ed Davey saying that Ming was an inspiration to him sounds funny.

I’ve got a scotch egg waiting for me when I get in. How many people can say the same?

I’m a sucker for a paternoster lift.

I have a window seat and a talkative person beside me. Today’s going to be a doddle.

We’re getting a false teeth factory in our town. It’s too early to think of anything to say about that.

my culture is not your costume

Dazzle Ships, South Docks, Liverpool Shipping, 1918, by Edward Alexander Wadsworth.

A lot of talk at work about creating a successful culture. My idea of banning reality TV chat at work won’t be popular but it’s a start.

For you & animal-battle expert @dagomardegroot.bsky.social: 50+ years ago, in a small Wolof village in the Senegal River valley, by light from kerosene lanterns & occasional lightning from an approaching storm, I witnessed an epic battle between a scorpion & a giant wasp on an adobe wall. 1/2

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Told my niece I’m on a special Roblox server with LeBron James and Lady Gaga for Roblox masters and celebrities. A few years ago she might have believed me but now she looks at me pityingly.

I bloody loved Claudia Cardinale. I can’t really say any more than that.

Some bloke from my area just sent me some insults on Facebook. The funny thing is I know him and his family. I replied ‘Stephen, I know you, I went to school with your daughter, do you really think I’m a woke, lefty cunt?’ He deleted his message.

Stephen King researching his novel The Stand with the late Dickie Bird…

I’ve known several people who wouldn’t look out of place on Tracy Island.

Part of the reason Would I Lie to You? Is so good is because Rob Brydon can be as funny and quick witted as Lee Mack and David Mitchell.

On a darker note I didn’t realise a box cutter was just a Stanley knife until 9/11 happened.

I know all the Internet knows how to do is make fun of things but, I guarantee you this is coming on tuesday

I come and go as I please. No wall or gate is impassable. Your honour.

In a corporate owned care home, charging £1,800 a week. Residents face neglect/cruelty. Left in urine-soaked clothes, wet bedsheets, calls for help ignored, not showered for weeks, excrement in corridors, staff shortages. Cruelty is the norm when profits come before people.

Robbie Gibb's contract with the BBC lasts until 2027 So he'll continue to boost Reform until then unless Starmer or Nandy find the gumption to cut the thread If Labour were hard-arsed about it, they could call a review of the BBC's future, threaten the licence fee that sort of thing

I’d like to add I’m a huge admirer of Toby Jones, a great actor and by all accounts a top man. My thought was sparked by the fact he’s playing former Guardian editor Alan Rushbridger in Hacked and he really looks nowt like him.

Imagine being told you’re being portrayed by an actor on TV and it’s Toby Jones.

The population of my little flag heavy town in NE England is predominantly white, there are few members of ethnic minorities. Yet the first bus, at 0600, to leave for nearby Teesside was mainly passengers from ethnic minorities. Many were wearing lanyards, uniforms etc. Strange that....
