Architect here. Every project I've worked on has been secretly tested for resilience to zombie apocalypse. Specifically, as described in World War Z. If there are weak points, they get reinforced; future occupants may thank me.

I'm in my fifties and have just had my first Botox treatment. I cannot express how I feel about it. Or anything else, for that matter.

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

All time record. 18 questions right in University Challenge. Would have been a couple more if the students hadn’t been so quick.

I wonder how many of those beautiful autumnal leaves from midday will still be on the trees at 6pm.

Autumn view. Trees with brown leaves and a blue, partially cloudy sky.

We're working with Racheal Maskell MP to support her Bill in Parliament to strip Andrew of his title.

We've made it super easy for you to write to your MP, to ask them to support the Bill and support all victims of sexual exploitation.

It takes seconds. 👇🏻 goodlawproject.org/campaign/tim...

Andrew says he won’t use his title, but that’s not enough – parliament must take it away

Re: mystery hour Guinness question

This is a BBC archive of the last pub in Belfast to use two barrels to pour a pint of plain (Guinness was done similarly). It is an amazing video, it is an incredible mix of poetry, sadness and nostalgia.

Of these four pairs of shoes, which two pairs do you think are the lowest in quality?

Make a choice before opening this thread. Then I'll tell you something about shoe quality. 🧵

Four pairs of brown loafers are sitting on top of a rug. The first pair is relatively matte; the second pair is also matte, but has uneven wrinkling; the third part is relatively matte; the fourth pair is very shiny.

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice?
"You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Cleary is a great writer - and an even better musician.

If you like his writing, I particularly enjoyed this…
