The emphasis is on coping.
Watched Carry-On last night. Enjoyed it but feel sad that we've been denied the chance to see Taron Egerton's and Jason Bateman's roles played by Kenneth Connor and Peter Butterworth.

They missed the assassin. Turned up in a 4x4. Opened the boot. Put on a rucksack, grabbed a holdall and purposefully strode away. He was definitely an assassin. Classic assassin behaviour that.

Embarrassingly, spent far too long trying to remember where I knew this line from. Knew it wasn't 'Livin’ on a Prayer' but I was unable to hear anything else.

Still catching up from yesterday. Wish there was a feature for this. Like just hit a button that says "catch up from yesterday" and then hit make update.

- thanks to everyone who has since followed, shared, replied, re-posted and added your own stories. Please keep 'em coming. And tell your mates that the northern star still shines...

One of the team at Waitrose once called my food shop packing 'extraordinary' that I took to be a compliment, (because it is actually outstanding). I use the self-service tills now but still invite staff and fellow patrons to stop and admire my genius.

I think Cliff might actually be churning these out under duress. This is basically a hostage photo. Bloke's knackered.

Twelve months on Bluesky and when this eventually succumbs to darker forces, I'm definitely, definitely not signing up for the next new, shiny, purest thing.

Took the gentle teasing of Christmas into the everyday up a notch last night by watching The Man Who Invented Christmas. It's alright and probably the right choice for the final week of November. Too early for the really good stuff. Christopher Plummer's great in it, mind.

There are no surprises here. Everyone could see how disastrously this was being handled in real time. That Johnson, Cummings and Hancock will face no consequences, means however damning this report might be, it amounts to no more than a bit of a shrug.

It’s the exclusive everyone wanted, the story that will win next year’s Pulitzer… I can reveal London’s giant AI generated Christmas artwork, the subject of much online mockery, is being torn down - and I honestly *genuinely* think you’ll never guess why.

London's giant AI artwork to be torn down
The bizarre story of why a much-talked-about creation is being torn down. Plus: Docklands Light Railway extension, giant laser stalks the night sky, and more tales of Android phone theft rejection.

If I was Rob Edwards, I would have simply taken Middlesbrough into the Premier League and then joined Wolves in the summer after they sacked the manager who took over in March after sacking the manager who replaced Pereira, who is now Rob Edwards.

This is why we have to wash our hands after peeing and then get the hand soap out again after exiting the facilities. Could save a fortune if all toilets were fitted with revolving doors.

Alan Carr should legit be a spy. Not only did he win Traitors but just by taking his specs off and not smiling he transforms himself into a man with questionable views on Alan Carr
