I wish as well as a ‘next day’ delivery option there was also a ‘just have it sent by royal mail’ option. I’d happily pay a couple of quid more to receive my parcel by the only competent delivery service operating in my area.

Okay, that’s it. Summer was nice, but I’m ready for it to be over. Cold again please.

I usually find F1 silly season fun, but for some reason this year it feels kinda seedy? No matter what, a very good driver is going to get screwed over. #f1 #formula1

I’m pissed off. I’ve made a lovely chicken casserole. It was a beautiful, golden, mustardy brown. Then at the last minute I decide to add some mushrooms that need eating up and the little bastards have turned my casserole GREY. What the hell is this??

I genuinely think I’m more made up for Hulkenberg than Norris. 🇬🇧 #britishgp #formula1

The terrible behaviour of his fans isn’t really Colapinto’s fault, but whenever he screws up I think about all those death threats Jack Doohan’s family got because he dared to occupy this supposed wunderkind-in-waiting’s race seat first. #f1 #formula1 #britishgp

I absolutely hear this, but I cannot fathom the mindset of “what the UK really needs is the left-wing vote split FOUR ways!” Defect to the Lib Dems or something.

I should love McLaren’s Silverstone livery, because it pays tribute to my favourite McLaren look. But like… I wish they’d just recreated the Vodaphone livery rather than this weird halfway house. #formula1 #f1

The news about Diogo Jota has floored me. What a terrible loss. His poor brother too. God, that’s awful.

Just want to point out that no version of events, including the one admitted to by Sean Combs, shows Sean Combs as anything but a violent abusive narcissistic druggie. Or, in modern terms, a celebrity.

If you watch old vox pops compared to newer ones, it’s striking how much better people used to be at talking without saying ‘umm’ all the time. I honestly don’t think the internet is to blame for this one, because you can see the change by the nineties. I wonder what happened?

The whole ‘Mercedes thinks Max will guarantee them the title in 2026’ angle is quite funny if you consider the last time they were that cocky was just before the no-sidepods debacle. #F1 #Formula1

I’ve just seen someone say that Ferrari is F1’s equivalent of Manchester United and… the immensity of that burn is incredible. #Formula1 #F1

I’m really not surprised that Meghan 2.0 is struggling so bad compared to the first one. I really think the creators put way too much stock in all the internet memes and failed to appreciate that most people who saw the first one were horror fans, not campy cunty robot fans.

Every single political faction on social media *regularly* rewrites history and makes stuff up that their perceived enemies never actually said, and yet every single group is simultaneously convinced they never do it and it’s all those other people actually.

Forcing a bunch of already cranky people stuck for hours in an NHS waiting room to watch the political news shows instead of Sunday Kitchen is perhaps not this hospital’s shrewdest move.

Everything I’ve seen about M3GAN 2.0 suggests to me that the filmmakers have made the fatal mistake of listening way too much to the fan discourse. Never a good idea for any creative project.

Nobody looks good in a flat cap with the exception of old men in rural locations, and the cast of Peaky Blinders. That’s it. And the latter had a lot of careful styling by a professional wardrobe department going into it.

The crows have figured out that if one of them sits on the tree and shakes the small bird feeder quite a lot will fall out to the ground for the rest of the shrewd little beggars to hoover up.

I can’t believe we’re still doing “can men and women be friends?” discourse in 2025. Of course they can. Millions of people are friends with a member of the opposite sex. What a crazy question to still be asking.

I wish people would ask “do you want to see this video?” instead of just shoving their phones in your face and forcing you to watch a Tik-Tok video that a solid half the time you couldn’t care less about.

One of the biggest problems with the world is that fools are always so sure and certain about everything and intelligent people are so full of doubts and uncertainties.

Another media story based on absolutely nothing. No sources - just unsourced 'reports' resulting in a totally speculative story. Ignore it. It is no different to 'reports' of chlorinated chicken, scrapping the digital service tax & watering down the employments rights bill. None of those happened.

Why is Yuki Tsunoda wearing a suit intended for a man quite literally twice his size? Why do half of them desperately need their trousers hemmed? I know they get paid enough to visit a tailor. #f1 #formula1

Nico Rosberg seems genuinely baffled as to why he’s being forced to work with Danica Patrick. #formula1 #f1 #canadiangp

Everyone hyping Max and George as a dangerous combination, only for them to keep it completely clean - meanwhile Lando and Oscar manage two laps of hard racing before promptly colliding. What a curveball. #canadiangp #formula1 #f1

My god, Italians eat so quickly. They’ve finished lunch and I’ve barely looked at the plate.

Never has news surprised me less than the revelation that ticket touts and ticketing monopolies have been colluding together.

Personally… yeah, I think the speculation that Stroll doesn’t want someone else in the car who might show him up is pretty valid actually. I don’t necessarily think that’s definitely what’s going on, but I think it’s a reasonable thing to suspect. #formula1 #f1

Stop. Trying. To. Make. Smart. Fridges. Happen. I was writing/commissioning/editing pieces about smart fridges at the 2016 CES and even before that. Nobody wants smart fridges that need their firmware updating, stop getting security patches after two years and do voice recognition.

I cannot think of anything to get my dad for Father’s Day. Nothing will ever top the air fryer of ‘23, a gift he remains obsessed with to this day.

It’s quite funny how in Jane Austen a woman going out in the rain is roughly as dangerous as going for a stroll through a plague pit.

Amazing that just yesterday morning I thought the Beckham family falling out was the most entertaining spat of the moment.

I see the King has taken a side in the Beckham-Peltz feud.

once again I must tap my own sign

He’s so addicted to his own product. Among other things.

remember when yevginy prighozin decided he was more important than putin and his plane exploded and putin was just like well, I hope we’ve all learned a valuable lesson today

If I had to put a tenner on it, Trump wins this feud. Nothing ever sticks to the bastard. He says the dumbest, most rancid stuff imaginable, then everyone just forgets it a couple of weeks later. But Musk? This could do some proper, long-term damage to him. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Oh, delicious.

If you pay extra for next day delivery, and the pricks don’t deliver it next day, you should get a refund of the difference.

I think we are profoundly unprepared for the ways AI is going to destroy education.

Quite genuinely his greatest power is being so insane all the time that every fresh bit of jaw-dropping lunacy is just water off a duck’s back.

I might be the only one, but like… Stranger Things jumped the shark when it had Hopper turn into an action hero after getting imprisoned in a Soviet gulag, right? That was very clearly the point they ran out of good ideas.

The Greens embarrassing insistence on living in a fantasy land when it comes to Russia is a serious part of why I couldn’t bring myself to vote for them in a GE. On a local level, sure. But for Parliament? No.

I’m inclined to agree with Nico Rosberg. A ten second penalty is incredibly lenient considering that wasn’t just careless driving, it was fully intentional contact. #F1 #SpanishGP

Max is a great driver, but I already know he’s going to be bitching and whinging about this for *weeks* and I’m tired of it already. #spanishgp #formula1 #f1

Really disappointed by how mediocre the second season of Poker Face is in comparison to the first.

I’ve been having a little social media break and I’m pleased to report I was away long enough that I have no idea what everyone’s talking about.
