Subletting a cottage is always a gamble. One returns expecting lavender sachets and Country Life, only to find someone has hung a “Live Laugh Love” plaque in the drawing room.

@Leon_F_T What do you mean, " My bad Steak au Poivre". It looks really quite good, even though, personally, I would go for a lot more sauce.

NEW: Standards commissioner finds Nigel Farage committed seventeen breaches of MPs code of conduct.

He failed to declare around £380,000 in outside interests (approx 4x MPs annual salary) incl payments for promoting gold, presenting on GB News and from his friend George Cottrell, within 28 days.

Reform UK leader apologised for what he described as administrative errors by his team.

@holysmoke There is a poem by Austin Clarke about Douglas Hyde's funeral.

....Costello, his cabinet,
In government cars, hid
Around the corner, ready
Tall hat in hand, dreading
OUR FATHER in English, better
Not hear that ' which ' for 'who'
And risk eternal doom.

@ianrich15813274 My local TG Jones, lovely staff, is near the train and bus stations, opposite a large food court where people grab breakfast. But it doesn't open until 9.00am. So misses all that trade. Saturdays the town is busy from early with a big farmers market but TG Jones still opens at 9.

@BoylanRoger After his death it was taken apart and meticulously reconstructed in the Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin, when you can view it.

@adriawildlife @JamesCWarne Good sardines are great, poor sardines are horrid. Enjoy!

@nfmusic Which is doubly ironic given that the entire opera is structured as a set of variations on a single tune which only emerges fully at the very end.

@bmay In my local Waitrose customers kept moving his book from the book section to the toilet roll shelves.

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

@MikeHolden42 There's a reason why BBC Verify is so hated by Farage and Reform.

@artinsociety Funnily enough I've just watched Roman Holiday for the first time in about 20yrs and noticed that the Gregory Peck character has just the same set-up next to his bed in his Rome apartment. Same side of the bed too. You can just about make it out here, covered in books.

@EdoardoFanfani @DrMusicale Now I really don't know what to believe! Here's an original b&w photo of the event for sale on Ebay. Looks like the image above has been passed through AI to colour it and in the process it altered it. ( God, how I hate AI.)
