Little known: Gilbert & Sullivan reviewed baked goods in southwest Cornwall. They found the following prices:
Newlyn: steak & kidney thruppence, chicken tuppence ha'penny
Mousehole: both 3d
Paul: s&k 2½d, chicken 2d
Gulval: both 2½d
Heamoor: s&k 2d, chicken 3d
Those were the pie rates of Penzance.

My favourite grasshopper fact: Grasshoppers first appeared on the planet 250 million years ago.
Grass did not appear on the planet until 40 million years ago
Imagine it: 210 million years, hopping around on any random surface you can find, waiting for the grass that will make you truly yourself.

In the desert
I saw a creature
Naked, bestial
Who, squatting upon the ground
Held his heart in his hands
And ate of it
I asked:- is it good friend?
It is bitter - bitter, he answered
But I like it
Because it is bitter
And because it is my heart
I saw a creature
Naked, bestial
Who, squatting upon the ground
Held his heart in his hands
And ate of it
I asked:- is it good friend?
It is bitter - bitter, he answered
But I like it
Because it is bitter
And because it is my heart
Which lines of poetry live rent-free in your head?

Every interview with a right-wing politician is like: "Mr. Hitler is adamant: If we sacrifice enough children, Santa Claus will come back and deliver 5% GDP growth. But I have to ask him: Do you ever worry that your relentless advocacy for working folks offends the rootless cosmopolitan parasites?"
I don’t get how Jenrick can actually believe that we should shrink the population and then start making more of our own things from pots and pans to what iPhones? How does he think that happens?

One of my most favourite glass vessels: A marvellous Roman vessel in the form of a pig, made of blue glass. It was used to hold ointment or perfume.
Found in a burial in Cologne. Dating late 2nd/early 3rd century AD

"Steam has banned Horses" is awful news and, stripped entirely of context, a fun idea to think about

My daughter left her Spotify account logged in on our TV while she did her DofE expedition back in April, so I did what any self-respecting dad would do. Payoff finally came today.

Everyone dunks on Wonderful Christmastime, but I think it's beautiful that we have a holiday classic that sounds like if an armed gunman broke into your home and said "You have fifteen minutes to write a Christmas song that uses every cue on this Baby's First Casio, or I'll kill your family."

Charming misspelling on a menu in my excellent local caff.

I now have visions of Dublin Bay Prawns gathering together to have a natter about the times they had known.

This is such a mess. The HBO Max "remastered" version of The Simpsons reveals that Duff, Duff Lite, and Duff Dry all come from the same pipe. 🙄

You’re absolutely right — you are Pagliacci. It would certainly be difficult for you to attend your own performance! I should not have given such paradoxical advice, and I apologize deeply for the error. There is no excuse for my failure.
