Got rejected for Macc-Pow. 😔

Pfft. I don't believe in lightbulbs.

Before mass migration it never occurred to us to put doors in shops. We used to have to climb in and out through the windows. And do you remember the telephone boxes that only a child could fit in, that also often blocked the doors of pubs? Town planning was truly awful before migrants turned up.

I have just learned that the UK is generating 50% of all its electricity from renewable sources, primarily wind - and is building more capacity all the time. Even right now, in winter, about 10% is coming from solar. We're approaching the time when fossil fuels will be for emergency backup only.

I got a grand total of £2.73. Not exactly a fortune, but I'm still massively grateful to those people who took one of my books out.

Kickstarter! Do it!

APPARENTLY it costs the NHS over £300,000 a year to remove foreign objects from people's rectums. Why aren't we removing British objects instead? Was Brexit all for nothing? Gerry Paton, London

Every American needs to watch this:

Ian McKellen is the shiniest and most precious of national treasures.

In my classroom I often use the sentence "Let's eat Grandma!" to demonstrate the importance of punctuation. This example is far more effective, and utterly unusable 😂

And very unfair on the people who worked on it!

I've also noticed that, when a film finishes and the credits go into a small box in the corner, when I go to click the "watch credits" button it takes me back to the main menu, and will go back to the start if I click it again. Very annoying.

I read that post and immediately thought of the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch. If you're not on drugs you have no business being up at 4am.

Holy jesus tapdancing christ on a bike. Ned, I misunderestimated you.

And yet we still haven't had a Bananaman/Judge Dredd crossover strip. Come on Ned, pull your finger out

I know Britain only sent one soldier to Greenland, but that soldier is basically Britain's answer to Chuck Norris.

Thank you! We just got rejected for an Arts Council Grant to finish the series (books 2 and 3) but will be applying again. We will finish it one way or another!

Ok, here's the plan. We make up prizes. A lot of prizes, so many he can't keep up. If we end up giving him several prizes a day, each of which require him posing for the camera etc, maybe he won't have the time and headspace to invade anywhere.

I knew it. I bloody knew it.

As far as I know our nuclear deterrent uses American tech in such a way that means our nukes are not wholly independent of the US - but food for thought, certainly. The damage that this would do to NATO would certainly be a win for Russia, either way.

The Life of Chuck, a Stephen King adaptation recently arrived on Netflix, is an exceptional film that should be watched knowing as little as possible. Expect to be puzzled for a while - but it will make sense, and expect to feel all the emotions along the way.
