Have been quite glum about the state of the nation, the world & X formerly known as Twitter lately but have had a call to remind me that I am needed to make all 3 chuckle

Won a lot on eBay of 10 issues of Films & Filming I needed for £12, including the earliest issue I yet own, from 1955. Look who one of the film reviewers is!

I’m reading this book because a friend kindly bought it for me. But it’s terrible and I hate it.

I have scrolled through the replies & this penetrating insight is the only one in support of Rooney

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

If you ever sought out the novels of Sally Rooney in bookshops – when that was still possible – you’d know they sit in the fiction stacks adjacent to the novels of another SR whose books have been withdrawn in dastardly political circumstances. Until last week, “Rooney” and “Rushdie” had little in common beyond being shelfmates; now they have more than just a physical proximity.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Leonard Rossiter. Brilliant actor. Worked with him and Richard Beckinsale in a Johnny Speight play for tv. Always remembered for #RisingDamp #TheRiseAndFallOfReginaldPerrin and who can forget the #Cinzano ads with Dame Joan Collins. #LeonardRossiter

The Bayeux Tapestry is sold out at the British Museum for 2026. But what if you could collect the entire thing?

Open free sticker packs, collect and swap scenes from 1066, and piece together the whole tapestry.

No tickets. No queues. Completely free.

A journo with some time should contact every one of the signatories to this execrable bilge and ask them to publicly state their support of Salman Rushdie and the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists to publish what they were attacked for.

When this came out I repeatedly sang songs from it to my boyfriend at the time in Cliff’s voice. Just months later he started seeing the receptionist from work. Now, was it because of this album or that she was 20 yrs younger with big tits - hard to say really isn’t it 🤔⚖️

@stueymaco What did the lips look like before if that’s fuller?!

[Kirby’s Scream Land @hellothisisivan]

@sturgios Liz line acceptable I think. That extra syllable takes it into the dread realm of Silly Sausage Britain.

Like how I joke about plotting a route back to having a 30” waist

🐱 Nacho is an orange cat who was born with dwarfism. 🐱 His unusually short legs and small frame give him a look—and a little walk—that’s all his own.

Good morning. Wednesday morning.

@Michaelknife1 It’s ALL glorious

Do the Strand is the greatest album opener ever & Editions of You-In Every Dream Home a Heartache is the greatest one-two punch

[Kirby’s Scream Land @hellothisisivan]

Prob fave album ever I think

[Kirby’s Scream Land @hellothisisivan]

My inability to not shout “WOOOOOOO!” at the relevant bit in Editions of You has got me some very strange looks before when I’m listening to it on headphones

[Kirby’s Scream Land @hellothisisivan]

Prob fave album ever I think

@OldRoberts953 No and I wish you hadn’t let me know such a thing exists

You'll notice that the rioters in France and Italy are only vandalising the agreeable parts of their country and not the run-down, tatty areas.
A tactic they apparently copied from the UK planning authorities.
