Saw them at Lollapalooza in '97

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Men of a certain age who are not the least bit interested in what sort of dog is the most manly unusually distracted this morning, it has been claimed. (I mean look at that absolute floof)

I don't doubt he slagged them off but I very much doubt Trump has offered a detailed analysis and assessment of a creative work or a literary, philosophical, or political theory in his entire life.

What, had the curry sauce run out or something?

My origin story. I burned though the learn-to-read books and moved onto natural history. Then came The World About Us on tea time Sunday TV. Cousteau made one episode and that dear reader is why I ended up studying plant sciences and learning to dive at university.

Alice?

*Laughs in European*

Counterpoint: at least it's not used to mean something other than what it means, unlike epicentre.

£20 to upgrade to first, you say? On an overcrowded train so late I will get more than that back on delay repay?

Paddington having a normal one.

Have never met a potato I didn't like.

Unpredictions 2026: Labour makes concessions to the Red Wall, but not the Red Wall you were expecting.

How did the USA lose its global hegemony? Two ways. Slowly, then suddenly.

The people who stand eagerly at the gate before the incoming passengers are even off are standing at the gate before the passengers are even off, I can confirm.

Single data point prone to survivorship bias, but I'm convinced A levels and university in her 50s followed by several decades with a mediaeval document translation group is what kept mum going so long.

Excellent Christmas hamper work, the Guardian.

Presents under the tree. Hot water bottle under the #DuvetKnowItsChristmas

Twelfth night, except pretty twinkly lights, which can stay up 'til Imbolc.

Merry Christmas to one and all except the Daily Heil who hate you if you don't eat the same food as us and despise you if you do.

Something in my eye.

Petition: All trains to have therapy dogs at busy times.

Seems like every other @lner.co.uk train heading north of Newcastle is cancelled. Onboard crew doing a sterling job of finding seats for little old ladies heading to their children for Christmas. Operation Get Everything That Can Fit Overhead Off the Floor was something to behold.

The hot look on London Transport today is cabin case and a bag for life of presents.

USS Deferment, shurely? Ed.

Stories we'd write about people who are on Interpol's most wanted list if cocaine were legal.

Having just spent £££ having the Grohe bath tap replaced with a Hans Grohe bath tap, it was less than welcome when the sink waste sheared off this morning. Quick trip to Screwfix and for less than £20 we have a new pop up waste and more left over Plumber's Mate than any non plumber will ever use.

Christmas Day in our kitchen.

*Laughs in West Coast Main Line*

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Are we sure about that?

Surprised by this. Always thought of the US as being a bit disapproving of booze. Also 2010?

Nature, eh.

What's the SAS for if not rendering these two to a remote famhouse in Wester Ross for a chat about handing over the money

Vaccines, kids.

*Adds sci fi to list of things 11 year olds need to be taught is not real*

Is this about space lasers?

UK's low productivity growth still a complete mystery, it has been confirmed.

Is it moving to Dubai?

Hospital bed or Haggunenon?

Ort cloud computing. Oh please yourselves.

I suppose we have to start celebrating Christmas in October if spring is now in mid December

I'd take "desecration" a bit more seriously if the follow up questions had included whether they ever used trains, mortorways or airports.

Houses would be much cheaper if we just stopped offering so much for them, it has emerged.

Not really. We'll be dead.
