Wishing a meaningful & reflective Mark Wahlberg 40 Day Challenge to all who observe.

Picking an example purely at random there I notice.

2026 basically

I'll be the judge of that. You're not my real dad, talking polar bear with your fancy beret.

Cat: “Give it to me straight Doc”. Doctor: “I’m sorry, there’s no good way to say it.....you’ve got curiosity....”.

Since Fernandez filmed and posted himself singing a racist and transphobic song down the camera (no allegedly about it), and faced no punishment, never apologised and was rewarded with a promotion to VC, I'm fairly doom-pilled on football policing this stiff.

my calendar says i sleep in a big bed with my wife

"My processes were inefficient and now my convoluted 10 calendar, 20 email address set up runs much better. Also I've broken the data security terms of my employment."

I am eternally relieved that Mike Dean was never given the opportunity to announce his decisions in this way.

The curling commentary has just described an American curler as 'Curling's equivalent of Hulk Hogan' and OH MATE, if you're saying that just because you remember a big personality you probably don't realise what you've accused him of 😬

And there’s more.

Wait, I've not seen this Aphex Twin music video before.

Roll up! Roll up! Listen to me prattle on likes right twonk about all things Chelsea. I’ve even solved our striking problems indicating a coaching methodology for Rosenior to implement that will GUARANTEE success!

Kante’s performances in the run to the Champions League in 2021 were unlike anything you've ever seen before. I don't think there has ever been a player able to dominate that Kroos-Modric-Casemiro Real Madrid midfield like that

Flipping pancakes today! With bloody sugar and bastard lemon juice.

this world cup has been extremely fun, which is an argument for mandating that australia have to be knocked out early in every tournament

The NOISE in this Nepal v Scotland match in #TheCricket Men's T20 World Cup is enormous. The argument for expediting inclusion of the Associate sides into international schedules is strong. The only team that hasn't been able to hang with the competition is Oman.

If there's one lesson from recent history it's that nothing bad ever happens after you're unreasonably rude to an FT journalist.

EVE Online's problem isn't the game is overwhelming for new players. It's that by design sooner rather than later you have to jump into the same pool that some of the worst people in the world are all pissing in and they've been there long enough to have goggles and snorkels.

I'm a bit disappointed Flav didn't go down the slope with his trademark oversized Swatch clock but I suppose it would have caused some unwanted drag. 😏

Who was it who said that Leicester won the league with a midfield three of Danny Drinkwater, to his left, N'Golo Kante, and to his right, somehow, also, N'Golo Kante.

We go live to the Gorton and Denton Reform campaign office...

What's wrong, babe, won't you sit in your waspseat?

I regret to inform everyone that software and crypto are heading south again at pace

It’s 17 February! Yes, that’s right – it’s exciting because it’s the 21st anniversary of the publication of a scientific investigation by four men at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology into the effectiveness of tinfoil hats to protect you from government mind control... 🧵

"I forgot it was Pancake Day today. Why modern liberal Britain, and somehow both Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan, are responsible for downgrading this most holy of Christian days." My latest for Conservative Home.

Oh, we're against counterfactuals now are we? #ThePolitics

Here’s something to remember, CD-I wasn’t nearly the failure everyone seems to believe it was. Yes, it wasn’t as successful in the home market as Philips wanted - but it went on to be licensed for training, education and sales to a lot of success

That was Slalom Gold Heartache by Norwegian Skier. Now, the new one from The Fall

In the middle of ar street

95 years old, almost universally respected and with THAT body of work behind him, if you're going to go then go like Robert Duvall.

Robert Duvall, the legendary actor whose career has spanned over six decades, has died at 95, his wife announced

Workshopping "Losstralia" after #TheCricket

something quite special is going on in the 🏏:

As Ronald Reagan said, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and have you considered bobsleigh."

This is the ideal Democratic candidate. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

My favourite bit of these stories are when someone openly admits to breaking Spanish nationality law and being scared of being found out.

I have a very simple and straightforward two-step plan to Save The Video Game Industry: Step 1: Globally eliminate the concept of a classed society and redistribute all surplus resources among the populace, permanently enshrining social ownership of the means of production. Step 2: Ridge Racer 8.

England, count yourselves a little fortunate, but job done and through to the Super 8 stage of the T20 🏏 World Cup

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

Here we here we here we fucking go

Lot of #ThePolitics people making this mistake but People's Postcode Lottery is very distinct from Pick My Postcode. Also it's not the lottery started by Dirty Desmond (which was my mistaken belief) - he did 'The Health Lottery'.

I don't know why I did this.

Will has reminded me of when the local council did a multi year scheme to refresh the local roads with updated roundabouts and redoing surfaces. On the last one, that led to them resurfacing a 2 mile stretch of A road that acts as an important link road.

Today’s weather is a perfect example of the price of hubris.

Love it when Richard Littlejohn (resident in Florida) shits out a column about working from home being bad.

Current mood

The hosepipe ban is back on after yesterday
