Happy 81st Birthday to 🇬🇧British stage, film and television actor and producer #MartinShaw born #OnThisDay in Birmingham, England

"Ernie" (The Fastest Milkman in the West) written and performed by #BennyHill became a number-one hit, topping the UK Singles Chart for four weeks in 1971, a short promo film co-starring Henry McGee as Ted, and Jan Butlin as Sue, was shot on location in Vicarage Road, Maidenhead 🥛

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

Good Lord! I’m still angry that Covid didn’t do its job!

Top of the Pops (21st January 1982). XTC are currently just outside the Top 40 (at No 41) with Senses Working Overtime. It would become their highest-charting single in the UK, peaking at No 10.

👏😂 People want to join the EU. Nobody wants to join China or US. Well played Belgian PM Bart De Wever.

From Chris Mason to Katya Adler. The ridiculous to the sublime. #bbcnews

What the buggery-bollox is the senile old git rambling on about? #bbcnews

Mark Rutte has handed Donald Trump a piece of paper with ‘turn over to read our Greenland offer’ on both sides & that will occupy him for weeks

“Trump and Carney are drastically different men, and they gave radically different speeches. But the two worked in tandem to deliver one message: times have changed, and we must change with them. “The US era is ending – Donald Trump has either killed it, or accelerated its demise.”

I’ve seen bits and pieces of his Davos tragedy. It’s like someone took their demented grandfather to open mic night at the comedy club and just let him riff. How damn embarrassing.

I worked at Fanelli's in 1983, and it's amazing that it stayed the course for so many years.

A man from Kazakhstan went to great lengths and made a carousel out of...a huge ice block.

Honestly, I've reached the point where I can't bear the sound of Rachel Reeves. It's not only her voice, which is worse than fingernails on a chalkboard, it's the rote learned mini speeches that she spouts with such confidence, even though everything she touches seems to die. #C4News

Debbie Does Dallas, but Donnie does Davos.

One day, we will realise that the likes of Osborne & Nick Clegg taking positions with Big tech and global banks, selling access to govt, and insider knowledge about how to usurp our laws, taxes, and regulations, are in fact traitors. Let's hope we realise that soon. #C4News #OpenAI #Meta #Facebook

In other news, the American president is threatening to invade Bejam.

Trump in Davos, Switzerland: "Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German". German is the main language of Switzerland.

I’m going down to Rumbelow’s IMMEDIATELY.

Fire on London's Loughborough Estate this morning. Seemingly now under control per @pollysmythe.bsky.social who is there on the ground, but will focus attention on an estate we've investigated wild claims of corruption and illegal chemical storage: www.londoncentric.media/p/the-london...

If true, this would be worth a fortune.

This is a definition of "need" that I am not familiar with.

Baron Hannan of Kingsclere ladies and gentlemen. The stupidest man in whichever hemisphere he happens to be visiting this week:

(WSJ) The feeling of citizens of Denmark, especially those who fought and partnered with the US in Iraq and Afghanistan. They feel betrayed by Trump and justifiably feel angry and depressed. Trump is the JERK in this situation. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

I was present for the birth of the web, the explosion of personal sites, and the blogging revolution, and you know what we never had to do? Beg people to use our shit.

Watch that. And then tell me how we replace Schumer with her

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary was asked if he’d add Starlink to the airline’s 650-plane fleet. He called Musk an idiot, saying the antennas would raise fuel burn by 2%, costing $250M a year, and called X a cesspit. Musk now wants to buy Ryanair for $35B. www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Why would you say this? It's not true!

No, I FUCKING AM NOT signed, God.
