Life is far too important to be taken seriously.

The great man may have been justifiably referred to as "Spiny" Norman, but the latest discovery would now forever be known as Miss McTavish's Cactus.

Dear Auto Correct, are you trying to get me sacked? I often sign off e-mails with, "I look forward to your thoughts." In a recent message to a female associate, I almost sent, "I look forward to your thighs." Always re-read before sending.

Pistyll Rhaeadr is Wales' 3rd highest waterfall. Located near Llanrhaeadr y Mochnant (The church of the waterfall of the policemens stream). It was built in 1902 by local minister Dan Duwiol to attract people to his struggling chapel. The pump was originally powered by children.

Quote: I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember this too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick. Stewart Lee

My cartoon for the books page in this week’s @theguardian.com

Title: Where writers really get their ideas.

A writer, holding a note in his outstretched hand approaches a cart in the park. The front of the cart reads 'Fresh ideas' and a colourful umbrella shades the server who is reaching deep into the body of the cart (much as an ice-cream vendor might) and saying:
"I'm all out of mind-blowing concepts and heart-rending narratives, but I've got an acerbic observation, an unexpected outcome and a couple of amusing notions."

Margaret Thatcher recognised the need to provide asylum for refugees, as well as the need to distinguish them from immigrants. No hope of that from her successors, of course.

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

Visiting a National Trust property is a good day out. The historic houses, the knowledgeable staff, polite visitors, a decent cup of tea and a sticky bun.
Only downside is the chance of meeting an angry Nigel Farage in the Gents.

We in the UK should be grateful that Farage is distracting from Nathan Gill by merely complaining about tampons in the Gents at Fountains Abbey and not sending thugs onto the streets of Northampton.
