@BarryHavenhand @lizabe86169030 Gosh, too much beer and not being able to get out of a locked room- doesn’t bear thinking about!😬

@BarryHavenhand @lizabe86169030 Why have you got funny hats on?

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

What British people have in their freezers:

-Frozen peas (some in a bag, some rolling around loose)
-Full bag of oven chips
-Another bag with three oven chips left in it
-Tupperware half-filled with unidentified brown stuff
-Half a scoop of mash potato that you saved for some reason
-An empty box that used to contain ice lollies that fools you every time you look in it but you still don’t throw it away
-Bag of hash browns
-Some sort of meat joint (possibly lamb) from 2014
-A near-empty ice cream tub
-Something that might be chilli or might be bolognese but you didn’t label it
-Some party food from three Christmases ago
-An empty bag that used to contain ice cubes
-A pack of chicken or fish that you needed to eat but you chucked it in the freezer because you ordered a takeaway instead
-One drawer that doesn’t open anymore

Word of the Day is ‘swullocking’: swelteringly, stiflingly hot.

From 19th-century East Anglian dialect.

The British Museum will charge £33 to see the Bayeux Tapestry, that's one in the eye for visitors

Just when I thought I had my finances under control, I had to buy a bottle of water from the airport.

Fine by me too! 🇫🇷

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books.

It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

Sure, happy birthday to Shakespeare, but it's a fact that he stole most of his plots. Like, one play is a total ripoff of West Side Story, but set in the olden days.

Honestly. How could I not post this. 😂

It’s that time of year when a special type of daylight shows every single speck of dust in the house you thought you recently cleaned.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

So turns out the “London is collapsing” narrative isn’t grassroots at all.

It’s being pumped out by bots, content farms, and foreign-aligned networks then laundered through politicians and media.

Manufacture the fear. Repeat it enough. Turn it into policy.

[Terry Sparrow @TerrySparrow4]

When you see a photo of our planet like this, just kind of floating in the unending black void of space, it makes you realise just how inconsequential we all are really! In the great scheme of things I mean. Here today and gone tomorrow, but our beautiful planet will still spin.

I’ve just received a Christmas card posted in the next-but-one county and franked 19/12/25. I mean, where’s it been for the past three months?

@BarryHavenhand Keep ragin’, as Dylan Thomas didn’t quite say!

[Orkney Library @OrkneyLibrary]

Bet you thought we'd forgotten to check how light it was at 5pm this week? Yeah you did!

Well it's Thursday night and it's 5pm so it's time for EPISODE ELEVEN of 'How light is it in #Orkney at 5pm this week?'

The clocks change on Saturday and right now

it's THIS LIGHT 💡
