Dear Mr Starmer,

Many thanks for your success in getting the Strait of Hormuz open.

It's one hell of an achievement.

There can now be no doubt that you've earnt the title of the greatest British Prime Minister of all time.

The people of Newton Abbot in Devon would very much appreciate it if you could reopen the A382 which runs North from the town to join the A38 at Drumbridges approximately 3 miles away.
It's been closed for over a year due to "upgrading" works and isn't expected to open for another 12 months.

To be honest, it's a right pain in the ass.

PS. I've also asked Mr Trump for help. No offence intended.

How dare you?

Just how dare you??

I want to cry with anger reading this post.
Let alone those beautiful girls families.

You skipped to Southport, lobbed a wreath in the direction of all the other tributes. Ran away and called everyone FAR RIGHT that were heartbroken, angry and scared for their own children.

You have caused the biggest divide this country has ever seen.

You locked people up for being angry and scared, some of which never came out alive.

You actively withheld information about that murderer and his family.
You knew the level of failure that led to that thing taking the lives of children and injuring many more.
You forbade any other MP to raise questions about that murderer or the situation.

You doubled down and blamed us!
Distraught mums and worried parents.

If it was possible to despise you anymore I do, having read this post.

Remembering the sublime genius, Maurice Cole, AKA Kenny Everett, who passed away on this day in 1995.

Here he is in a very famous sketch alongside his friend and regular co-star, Billy Connolly, that took almost a day to record. Why? Well, because they hadn't hired any extras for the sketch they roped in some music hall performers who were recording in the studio next door and they all appeared in costume, much to the amusement of Kenny and Billy. The punchline was reached eventually, but they decided to include the outtakes.

God bless Cuddly Ken x

There's Steve McQueen cool and then there's Sid James on a Raleigh Chopper cool.

Built in 1592, this building is older than the United Kingdom itself.

When this house was built, Elizabeth I was still on the throne.

The Spanish Armada had only recently been defeated, and Shakespeare was in the middle of writing his plays.

Constructed using unseasoned “green” oak, the timber slowly twisted and settled as it dried, giving the structure its distinctive lean.

It has stood through civil war, empire, industrialisation, and world wars.

More than 430 years later, it remains.
Slightly crooked, but still standing.

@oaksandlions This was the only crooked house I knew.

The stoning scene in Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979) is pure chaos. Michael Palin said they had to reshoot multiple times because the cast couldn’t stop laughing.

@London_W4 I love your photos of old London pubs. What is the best area to head for to find some good uns?

[AutoPap @AutoPap]

This looks lovely.

Remember going in to an Audi dealer wanting to buy a RS4.

During one period of lockdown when we were allowed out I asked for a test drive, salesman looked at me and said “you know they’re expensive”

I suppose I hadn’t shaved in 2 weeks and did look homeless 😂😂

(bought a new 911 instead)

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

Have a guess why these oak beams in the ceiling of this London pub I’m in right now, are black and burnt? Yes, that’s right: they were burnt in The Great Fire of London in 1666. How incredible is that? Blows my mind.

[Alastair Hilton @London_W4]

And now I’m here in one of the most perfect bars in London. This bar hasn’t changed at all in the last two hundred years. Not that I can remember it back then, even though I am old enough to be a Grandad now.

[James Melville 🚜 @JamesMelville]

Angela Rayner is the favourite to become the next Labour leader and therefore, Prime Minister. God help us. Look at this interview where Andrew Neil asks her some straightforward questions on taxation. She is so out of her depth that even a lifeboat would struggle to rescue her.

@crockpics I still have a copy of this album, signed by the whole band ! #Blondie #DebbieHarry

[Love Classical Music and Movies 🎺🎻💖🎥🎬 @AlexTran677026]

That classic “Does your dog bite?” mix-up in The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976)—Peter Sellers’ Clouseau pets the pup, gets bitten, then snaps: “I thought you said your dog does not bite!” Clerk: “That is not my dog.”

Short gag, but it took 7 takes with outtakes full of cracks-ups. Peter Sellers’ physical comedy peak in the fifth installment.
