Is it the photo at the top you haven’t seen? If so…

Young conservative, dressed like an old man, who by his own admission has a weird interest in incest, and also looks exactly like someone who would

Poor woman’s not protected in the right sense, though, is she?

Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 52m

Shocked to my very core, I tell you

One of those rare posts where it’s worth reading the replies. One in particular is a corker

We don’t need to, surely? That’s it in the photo

Curiouser and curiouser. If it’s answered when the magazine arrives, I’ll report back (unless I forget)

Well, then... happy 362nd anniversary to this entry from the Diary of Samuel Pepys, in which the saga of his constipation continues (at some length)

9th. And did keep my bed most of this morning, my body I find being still bound and little wind, and so my pain returned again, though not so bad, but keeping my body with warm clothes very hot I made shift to endure it, and at noon sent word to Mr. Hollyard of my condition, that I could neither have a natural stool nor break wind, and by that means still in pain and frequent offering to make water. So he sent me two bottles of drink and some syrup, one bottle to take now and the other tomorrow morning ... I did drink one of them, but it was a most loathsome draught, and did keep myself warm after it, and had that afternoon still a stool or two, but in no plenty, nor any wind almost carried away, and so to bed. In no great pain, but do not think myself likely to be well till I have a freedom of stool and wind ... So to bed.

Oh, yes. An RSC adventure of some kind, maybe…

If I knew a manufacturer, I’d be pitching right now. “We’ll be millionaires by this time next week, I tell you!”

Thankfully, I’m a subscriber, so I’ll find out soon, but I think the guy to his right might be a theatrical figure, too, so I want to know more…

Intrigued by this cover. The man on the left looks like Trevor Nunn…

I see a gap in the market. Current politicians, but as urinal cakes

I’d stand up to tell you, to underline my point, but I’m in a comfortable chair, and it would take so long

Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 6h

Anna, I have something to tell you, and you may need to be sitting down

Well, this looks like an *amazing* double bill

It is both Brian Blessed's 88th birthday today AND the anniversary of the electric blanket first going on sale (1946) today. 🥳

Also important

That's not the only tune it can be sung to.

Reminded of one of the old classics

Tweet by ‘Fresh Oats’, 20 November 2017: “I'm so stressed that sunlight hurts. I am gods mistake”. QTed by the same account with the words “Sing this to the tune of "Old MacDonald"”

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?” Yes, I have learnt this, and it has improved my quality of life

You can sing "honey monster genitalia" to the tune of "deutschland uber alles" should you so wish.

Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 23h

I can raise that as something to discuss in the office!
