Wondering what to post on here and I can't think past that time I noticed my dishwasher sounded like the start of Common People.

Tadej Pogacar wins the final Monument of the season, taking 3 of the 5, alongside retaining his Tour de France title and the World Championship jersey, and winning the European Champs too.

No doubt he won't get a mention in BBC's International SPOTY category.

Used a Lime bike for the first time yesterday.
It was fun but too expensive.

Tune in for more in-depth reviews tomorrow.

No matter how many times you may think I called Robert Jenrick a cunt while in the pub last night, your guess is still way off.

I seem to be in a Central Line fever dream. I've just been on a Grange Hill via Woodford train and now I've seen one going to Hainault NOT via Newbury Park.
The board now says:

Loughton
Epping
Epping

which has never happened in all of history.

I attended @makingthemarrow.bsky.social's wedding reception and she's been to two of my kids' school quizzes.

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Sir Arthur @sirarthurindeed.bsky.social · 4d

Until the state broadcaster unequivocally calls Robert Jenrick a cunt on the hour, every hour, British media will remain broken.

Sir Arthur @sirarthurindeed.bsky.social · 4d

Jenrick. Always fucking Jenrick.

I think almost everyone replying with de Pfeffel this and Yaxley that are missing the point. Yes they are grubby chancers but importantly Polanski is actually *more* authentic by changing his name back.

My cousin did the same a few years ago, going from Curtis to the original family name Zigman.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

But if you don't care for Orwell then a simple "Oh do leave off Kemi, there's no fucker there" will suffice.

I immediately assume the dog made the dress.

Don't worry. Only one pedant noticed.

Good article.
Somehow fitting in a piece about how colour should be largely irrelevant you described Plemons' glasses as yellow.

This was a horror but with so much intolerance and antisemitism, no one can say it was a surprise. There are lessons to learn, and that must start now, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

Me waiting for any socially-aware celebrity I follow on Insta to remark about a terrorist attack occurring on British soil today. Even just one.

I remember watching the first Saturday protest in London. No retribution had yet happened so at that point the thought process for apparently everyday people was "there's been a pogrom, let's take to the streets to shout about how much we hate the victims."
