Success! Not a huge selection though - I was hoping for some kind of Wall of Tights. M&S, please bear in mind my feedback for my next ten-yearly visit

Battersea Power station, with some sort of chimneys belching steam in the foreground, and a red double decker bus. Everything looks quite cold and misty this morning too

Need to buy some tights and the nearest M&S is in here. Suddenly I'm definitely in London

Completely agree - it's bizarre how far you have to zoom in even to see a railway line, when roads are always clearly visible. Also it's almost impossible to see an entire line, so it's hard to see where it goes

Those original writers pulled off a miracle of a balancing act: making a show with so many deaths and violence in it still somehow a family friendly evening watch. One of the very first times I saw non-stereotypical portrayals of gay men on TV too

If I owned a harberdashery I'd call it Fibonacci Sequins.

Really well written story. An important part is that two high ranking politicians, one from each side, together saw inside the crime scene shortly after it happened. Horrible, but it went a long way to ensure cross-party support for the full ban - one of the best things this country's ever done

Strong Agree.

I'll tell Mum's talent producer but I fear dad might have already put a call in to Nixon's people

Dad: "Richard Nixon"
Mum: "NO!!"

Mum says Richard Osman's House of Games should just be Richards' House of Games when RO leaves and it should be presented by different Richards. She said "Richard Ayoade the first week. Then I can't think of any other Richards. That's the problem"

I still love "Gardening Advice From a Man Very Afraid of Plants" youtu.be/zc7qJE9Nzo8?...

Ha ha! Thanks to your post, I just looked up the Rive Gauche (Left Bank) in Paris to see if that's why it's called that too, despite it being the south bank. It turns out it's because, if you're sailing downstream, the south bank is on your left! Honestly v chuffed with this new knowledge

How do I put my new magical power to good use?! As far as I can tell, I can see 20 minutes into the future and, instead of a crystal ball or tea leaves, I use puerile bsky posts

Jonathan, in bed, notices his glass of water on his bedside table

Jonathan's POV - the writing on something behind the glass, seen through the glass of water appears backwards

Same as before but he's moving the glass to read more writing backwards

Close up on Jonathan's face - he's had a breakthrough - this must solve the case!

Omg I wrote the above 20 mins ago and this JUST happened on Jonathan Creek

Love everything about this post

Literally only just spotted that's not upside down

I hate it when somebody in a movie has a problem. Can’t they just have a nice time

Happy birthday to Betty Boo. Here's a reminder of the time she rapped with Public Enemy in the McDonalds at Shepherd's Bush back in 1987 (look out for the unimpressed manager!)

Ha ha, that's good. I remember at the time wishing I had Mariella Frostrup's voice

This is what I'm thinking the entire way through. They literally already live in the original winter sun holiday country

I may be an old cynic but this just feels like the ramblings of a rich couple who will suddenly be in the Carribbean next week, before coming back to subject you to further unfocused complaints

Fair! We are at peace on this contentious issue

I usually immediately agree with everything you say, but here I must defend my actions: it's for the tree drips! The post-rain massive drips from trees are worse than the rain
