A new year 7 plays the mouth organ very badly, and has decided that underneath my window is the place to do it.

Seeing ice cream cones during their spawning runs really takes your breath away. They’ll only do this once in their entire lives.

Me on my way to the rapture.

-cease and desist -null and void -aid and abet -free and clear -ways and means Why is law stuff like this always two words? These are called ‘legal doublets’ and we can once again blame the Normans. 🧵⬇️

Ace.

Every UK organisation -governmental or not- should quit X right now. Actively using that platform is no longer justifiable by anything.

These guys are christians in the way in which Katy Perry is an astronaut

Literally walking on the moon.

The correct colour of tea.

Pizza/cinema trip tonight with my firstborn. Taking him to University tomorrow. So churned up, but that might be all the cheese. No joke, I'm going to ache for him.

If you’re a working class woman and you make a tax mistake, you have to resign. If you’re a middle/upper class man who befriended a paedophile, and rapist to the extent they were ‘best pals’ you can just carry on with a shrug and just say “oh that’s a bit embarrassing”.

“Nigel Farage says….” has been the headline of the decade. Look at what he does, ffs. Look at his tax affairs. Look at his grifting. Look at his lies. Look at his prejudice. Look at his allies. Look at his manifesto. Look at his Brexit. He is the embodiment of personal greed and national failure.

The glory of the audio book is that a Roman emperor can be called Poopy Anus.

If I’m being honest, I’m feeling pretty crap about my small business. It’s so bloody difficult at the moment with rising costs, US tariffs, Brexit nonsense and the threat of AI. Please have a look at what I do and repost to spread the word gailmyerscough.co.uk

This is very wonderful.

I've been a teacher for 25 years. Why am I sick with anxiety? It's inset tomorrow anyway 🤣

Of course the Queen was Remain. You don’t sustain a hereditary monarchy by randomly pulling pins out of grenades for the lols at the urging of a cluster of snake oil chancers.

Take down the Union Jack, it clashes with the sunset. youtu.be/r5hEKq0u5I8?...

The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh… Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population) Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK Immigration isn’t draining us Inequality is.

Hell yeah buddy bon appetit

I wondered where on earth people would be spraying red crosses onto white mini roundabouts. Macclesfield,apparently, right outside our school.

International dog day! Mungo is too cool to celebrate, but here he is nevertheless.

Today is Nonidi the 9th of Fructidor in the year 233. Fructidor is the month of fruitfulness. Today we celebrate liquorice.#JacobinDay More information on liquorice

My boys chose a Christopher Nolan double bill for this sunny bank holiday. We were in the cinema from 3 till 10. My head is pickled.

I don’t want to be too shrill about this but I think the BBC, ITV and Sky have disgraced themselves in their coverage of the anti-refugee protests. A massive failure of judgement. But now we know the next time a progressive protest “isn’t news” that it’s nothing to do with numbers

We have Marianne Faithfull's grandmother's stick. Rock solid provenance. What's in your attic?

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

The Labour Party I belonged to feels like a lovely dream.

Tee hee.

👏

Can someone please recommend a brilliant, beautifully written contemporary novel that will not leave me feeling bleak? For context, this holiday I have read Prophet Song, Be Near Me, Half of a Yellow Sun, The Line of Beauty and The Children Act. Give a girl a break.

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.

The fees at the public school attended by Jeremy Clarkson are over £40,000 a year. Every time he tells us how well he's done despite his poor A-levels, he's just confirming what we already know about the class system.

Very possibly the most British road sign in Britain:

Where are the teen goofsters?

Hum.

Hello. What must I do during a four day trip to Lisbon?

Mungo and the Lovell telescope.

16% of the UK population was born overseas (21/22 census) 12% of UK prisoners were born overseas Therefore people born overseas are less likely to be in jail than people born in the UK. That should be the headline.
